EM57 - Pat Torpey of Mr Big

Pat Torpey of Mr Big joins Eric in conversation to discuss his early days discovering the drums, watching Buddy Rich on The Tonight Show as a kid, his years as a hired gun in various bands, what he learned from touring with Neil Peart, his initial connections with his Mr Big bandmates, how Richie Kotzen changed the complexion of the band, his initial reactions to his Parkinson's diagnosis, what he's learned from that, what WE should learn about that, and plenty of discussion around the fantastic new Mr Big album, Defying Gravity and so much more.
