Quo Vadis guitarist and front man Bart Frydrychowicz comments on Patrice Hamelin’s musical artistry and his joining the tour:



“Having Patrice join us on the road is a great honour and I’m privileged to share the stage with a great and talented drummer like him. Pat’s musical ability comes to enhance and compliment Quo Vadis` existing material and his playing style is a perfect match. We hope to record at least one new song at 40 West Studio in the next 2-3 weeks so that you have a chance to listen and get to know the new material before hearing it live. “

Patrice est probablement le meilleur candidat que QV aurai pu choisir ! Yé fort en sale.

I personally think Patrice is a better fit, coming from Martyr and all, his style is more diverse it seems... or else we might have seen a Quo Nile-is.... Bart playing Egyptian banjos on stage etc...

You've got a short vision of Derek's capacities...
Check what he has done in Blotted Science (progressive music with Ron Jarzombek), Today Is The Day (experimental music), Council of the Fallen (progressive). You'll discover another way of playing drums, far from his Hate Eternal / Nile / Malevolent Creation job.

All right, we don't change history, Patrice is an excellent drummer, and he is canadian.

btw, he didn't play on the Blotted album, it's Charlie Zeleny, I got the CD

 

[Aghahowa]

A mistake, sorry.
