Born on February 14, 1989, in Ostrava and now residing in Prague, Czech Republic, Patrik Sas is a highly accomplished professional musician and drummer with extensive experience in the industry. From the age of eight on, he embraced his musical heritage in a family of musicians, honing his skills at the Janáček Conservatory in Ostrava. His passion for drumming propelled him to the United States, where he trained in the vibrant music scenes of New York and Los Angeles, receiving mentorship from drumming superstar Thomas Lang and other esteemed instructors. In addition to his work in the Czech Republic, Patrik has collaborated with international musicians, including Norway’s Per Valla, the iconic guitarist John Sykes, Suzanne Vega, and Gerry Leonard, known for his work as David Bowie’s guitarist and bandleader. Patrik earned first prize in the prestigious American global music contest for BEST SOLO PERFORMANCE, with his drumming selected as a judge's pick by industry legends including Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big, The Winery Dogs), Bumblefoot (Guns N' Roses, Sons of Apollo), and record producer Drew Lane. Renowned for his technical precision and dynamic drumming style, Patrik delivers powerful performances characterized by extended double-bass blasts, mid-tempo rock grooves, intricate tom fills, jazzy breaks, and aggressive blast beats.
