Let's make this birthday one to remember.

45 years old (Born on April 15, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Patrick Carney! May your day be filled with more rhythm than a Black Keys drum solo and enough cake to fuel another Grammy-winning album. From Akron's garage jams to headlining arenas worldwide, you've kept the beat steady—and our heads nodding—in timeless style.

Whether you're laying down grooves for The Black Keys or exploring new beats in Drummer, you always hit just the right note (or cymbal). Here's hoping this year brings even bigger hits, louder applause, and fewer broken sticks—though we know you'll rock it either way. Keep drumming up greatness; we're all ears!
