Before the Union's game vs. Los Angeles FC in the first leg of the Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League Semifinals, Pat was the pre-game drum banger.

A video from a fan in attendance showed Pat banging the drum alongside the team's mascot, Phang, in rhythm to "Union" chants.
One Twitter user had a big compliment for Pat's cadence.
@Squelch_Cataldi compared Pat's cadence to Ringo Starr, the former musician who's known as the drummer for the Beatles.
He had a good cadence with his drum strikes. Some would say Ringo-esque
