Patrick Hallahan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Patrick Hallahan is a American drummer with the Kentucky-based rock outfit My Morning Jacket. While the sound of early MMJ included softer drums behind reverb, on It Still Moves and Z Hallahan's drumming became much more powerful and prominent, drawing comparisons to Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham. Hallahan has been a close friend of frontman Jim James since childhood, so when My Morning Jacket's original drummer quit, James asked Hallahan, who has been a member ever since. A gifted drummer, Hallahan says that when he worked in a coffee shop he "could time the cappuccino by tapping my foot." Hallahan received co-composing credits on "Off The Record" with "Two Tone" Tommy and James.
