Why does Pat play guitar?

I don't get it to be honest.

Nothing against Pat because he is a nice guy and a great musician, but he has absolutely NO stage presence playing guitar. He just stands there looking bored out of his mind.

I just don't get why he'd give up his drumming spot to some drummer for hire, just to stand there in the background and look totally bored and uninterested.

I guess it's possible he enjoys it, but it sure doesn't look like it.

Speaking from experience, the drummer is rarely noticed. Yes, the drummer is the heartbeat of the band, and usually is the one sweating at the end of the show. I can see why Pat likes being up in front. On the other hand, I would hate to be the "drummer" playing guitar up front and have a drummer (Josh Freese) just kick some serious butt on the drums.
