Short Bio:
Paul Doucette is matchbox twenty's drummer. He comes from just outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (North Huntingdon, to be exact),
and was born Aug. 22nd, 1972. He was the one who came up with the name for the band. When he worked as a waiter, one day he saw a man wearing a jacket
covered with patches. The only two patches he could make out were a number 20 patch and one for matchbox cars. Hence,
matchbox 20 (or matchbox twenty, if you will). He originally wanted to use the name for a clothing company he wanted to
launch, but it instead went to the band. Paul can play a lot of other instruments as well as the drums, including
the flute.
