Elliott Drums + Musician in New Orleans, LA

ABOUT

I am a drum instructor, and performing musician. I can play all styles of music. No drugs or drama. Currently looking for paid recording session work. I have worked on sessions in major studios in Los Angeles, New York, Nashville, New Orleans and Orlando (and more). In my audio examples the tune "She Knows" was tracked with a click. "Something to Believe In" without. The majority of the Bonnington Truce video clip is in a Nashville studio (Masterfonic/The Tracking Room Studio). My recent gigs and recordings include Americana, Blues, Surf Rock, Jazz (all styles), Funk/Dance, Country and Classic rock.
