MEET PAT WILLIAMS

​

A Houston area native, Pat Williams has been playing drums for over 30 years. From the first time he picked up a pair of sticks, he has been constantly improving his abilities, and establishing himself as a competent and professional musician. As the product of famed Trumpeter, the late Pat Williams, Sr. and former Jazz and R&B vocalist, Rita Benson, at an early age, he developed a love for listening to and playing all genres of music, which has made him one of Houston’s most versatile and sought-after drummers. He can step into any musical situation and provide exactly what’s expected of a professional drummer.

 

Pat’s experience in the music industry has been much more than sitting behind a drum kit. From starting his own band, The Pat Williams Group, in 2013; to being the Music Director for national and international recording artists; to curating live music events; and most recently, releasing his debut solo EP in 2021. Pat is still one of Houston’s few percussionists who is both comfortable and confident in not only working alongside other professional musicians, both live and in the studio, but also working as a mentor, teacher, and consultant to many up-and-coming young musicians.
