:: about elliot ::

My name is Elliot. I'm a drummer and I live in Brooklyn, NY. Making music makes me really happy. I try to do it as much as I possibly can with the best people that I know. When I'm not drumming, I'm booking shows and doing other artist management work. When I'm not doing that, I'm running El Train Entertainment. When I grow up, I want to be an award winning chef. This will never happen. Right now, I am okay with that fact.I am playing drums/percussion on the tracks on this page. The drum solo is live (no double kick drums or pedal), and everything else was recorded in various studios. Enjoy!I am a proud endorser of VATER PERCUSSION . Some people that I have played/recorded with include: Clique (Buffalo, NY), A New Easy Way (Buffalo, NY), The Shapes (Buffalo, NY), Pulsimeter (Buffalo, NY), Jester Pi (Buffalo, NY), John Schmitt (NYC), The LeftOvers (Buffalo, NY), Kate Branagh (NYC), Ingrid Michaelson (NYC), Echosounder (NYC), Stone Groove (NYC), Regina Spektor (NYC), The Energy (NYC), Heavy Weather (NYC), Telly (NYC), Ricky Valente (RI), Lincoln Schofield (NYC), Jim Bianco (LA), Betsie Larkin (NYC), Bess Rogers (NYC), April Smith (NYC), Malissa Larson (NYC), Belt (NYC)...I think it would be great if you signed my Emailing list. If you do, I will send you information about upcoming shows and other cool things. I won't send you a lot of junk either. That would be annoying. Name:
