Schedule
Patrick holds bass clinics several times throughout the year. Click for the next clinic's details. You don't want to miss this chance to learn and hone your skills in a unique way if you are a serious bass player.

What are They?
Bass and drum clinics are making Patrick's already astounding reputation as “Keeper and Spreader of the Groove” even more amazing! These clinics are like master classes for serious bass players and drummers too. The role of the bass/drum duo is articulated and explored. This is a hands-on chance to polish your skills unlike any other forum. Clinics focus on different topics, such as “Creating a Groove” or “Styles,” exploring ryhthms from Funk and Rock to West-African, Latin and more.

Drummers Too
Drummers take note: You are welcome to attend these sessions and will be glad you did. Dave Meade is Patrick's drummer partner at these clinics. Dave has played with many big-name musical artists, such as Bobby McFerrin, The Mamas and the Papas, Aretha Franklin and others. Dave helps attendees sharpen or establish their counting and timing skills and teaches bassists how to effectively communicate with a drummer so your rhythm section will be killer tight!

Audit or Play
You are welcome to attend a clinic as an auditor or as a performer. Get your feet wet as an auditor and then jump in and play at the next clinic. These clinics will hasten your learning process like you wouldn't believe.
