Patrick Keeler, from Cincinnati, is best known as the drummer of The Greenhornes and The Raconteurs. He plays with a traditional grip.

Keeler has played with garage rock band The Greenhornes along with vocalist Craig Fox and Jack Lawrence, since 1996.

The Raconteurs are a band formed with long-time friends Brendan Benson, Jack White of The White Stripes and "Little" Jack Lawrence. They released their debut album, Broken Boy Soldiers, in April 2006 and its follow up Consolers of the Lonely in March 2008.

In 2004, Keeler played drums on the Loretta Lynn album Van Lear Rose in the band that album producer Jack White put together. The band called themselves The Do Whaters, and also featured Lawrence on bass and Dave Feeny on pedal steel guitar. Despite containing three future Raconteurs, The Do Whaters share little in terms of musical styling. Patrick Keeler plays Ludwig drums and uses Paiste cymbals.

Keeler also played two shows with fellow garage rockers The Dirtbombs in 2004.
