	Musicians - Patrick Wilson

Patrick "Pat" George Wilson (born February 1, 1969) in Buffalo, New York is best known as the drummer for the alternative rock band Weezer. He also has his own band, The Special Goodness, for which he writes songs, performs vocals, and plays the majority of the instruments. Currently, The Offspring drummer Atom Willard is also a member of The Special Goodness.

He also played drums on The Rentals' first record Return of the Rentals. He never toured with the band.

Prior to joining Weezer, he worked around the Los Angeles rock scene, being in bands such as Bush (note: not Gavin Rossdale's Bush), The Dum Dums and United Dirt, all of which featured members who would go on to be in the band Wax. The first band he was in that featured members of Weezer was Sixty Wrong Sausages, a band with Rivers Cuomo and Jason Cropper on guitars. By early 1992, Wilson, Cuomo, Cropper and bassist Matt Sharp were all in Weezer together.

He has co-writing credits on Weezer songs "The World has Turned and Left Me Here," "Surf Wax America" and "My Name is Jonas." Wilson is also well-known for his quick wit, obscure pop-culture references, and general quirkiness. In the past, Wilson's amusing stunts on skateboards, scooters and bikes have been video taped and released on Weezer's website.

In late spring of 1994 he produced The Suburban Advantage EP using a TR-808 drum machine. The EP had a very limited official release among friends and industry contacts but was bootlegged and is frequently traded online among Weezer fans .

Wilson is married to Jennifer Wilson (wed 1994) and they have one son, Charlie, born in 2004.

Wilson and Weezer guitarist/vocalist Brian Bell collaborated on a cover of the Velvet Underground song "Heroin" for the 2006 film Factory Girl. They also appear together in the movie.
