"Drummer For Hire"

ABOUT ME: I have been playing drums since I was 10 years old and have had many opportunities to play for many different bands and artists. I studied under the great Ken "Nardo" Murray who has recorded with artists such as Dolly Parton and plays drums for Mouse and the Traps who have toured with the Mama's and the Papa's. While attending college I studied under Dr. Alan Teel working on integrating traditional afro-cuban, latin, and jazz into my drumming.

In the summer of 2000 I was recruited to play with a worship band for my first international tour. That tour made stops in Denmark, Germany, Norway, Belgium, France, and Sweden. In 2003 I took was the winner of “Duel of the Drummers” – Best in adult division and overall best drummer. I have been able to tour throughout the U.S. in the past 10 years with numerous bands. In 2006 I started P. Ellis Drums, which is my custom drum company. I currently play drums for Homer Hiccolm & the Rocketboys and Tyler Dodds.

Studio's currently recording at:
Big Note Studio - Abilene, TX (www.bignotestudio.com)
Glass Jar Studio - Abilene, TX (www.theglassjarstudio.com)

Put the followwing into the address-bar of your web-browser. Type ur favorite number between 1 and 999 & then type a dot & then type your favorite color & then type a dot & then type one word that best describes your mood & then type a dot & then type the word retwistic & then type a dot & then type com & then click enter. Let me know how it turns out for you.

Thank you very, very much for that broadcast this morning! I gotta say, I'm rather blown away by the stuff you can do on the fancy interwebz still... hence the text sayin' I was tripping out over all of it!

That was a kick ass way to wake up!


Can't wait to get those cannons into the studio/on the summer tour!

Can't say that life could have had any better timing for me.


Many, many gusher-shaped hearts,
