From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul Simmons was a drummer in the Christian rock band PETRA from 2004 until their retirement in 2005. Prior to joining PETRA, he played with several rock bands, including touring with Black Oak Arkansas during the 1980s. He was playing with the band The Legendary Shack Shakers just prior to joining PETRA.Currently Paul is playing drums for Reverend Horton Heat.
Simmons started playing the drums at an early age, playing with his brothers Mike (guitar) and Jamie (bass) in several cover bands.
In June 12, 2004, he joined the three original members of Petra in a concert where they played a whole set of old songs from the 70s.
In 2005, he participated in the recording of the band's last live album, Petra Farewell. At one time of the show, Bob Hartman broke a string and Simmons delivered an impromptu drum solo. Unfortunately, being a spontaneous thing, the crew didn't get a good take of it so it wasn't included in the album or the DVD.Currently Paul is playing drums for Reverend Horton Heat.
