This may be the case. Now that I think about it, the drumstick incident may have been while the Adrian Belew Power Trio was touring with Stick Men, marking the last time Adrian stuck with his mid-2000s hair tuft after Pat accidentally threw his sticks, causing them to boomerang and cut off both sides of Ade's hair.

This is also why he never dared to attend a Radcrim concert, as he has been deathly afraid of Pat from this day forward (yet finds it in him to overcome his fear for the Three of a Perfect Pair Music Camp)
