Ellie East

Independent

Since picking up the sticks aged 9, I've never let them go. Being able to play my drums around the UK, Europe and the USA with artists such as Michael Aldag, Caity Baser, Maggie Lindemann and more over the past few years has been a life long dream come true. I'm so excited to keep progressing and growing whilst also playing the best cymbals in the game. With some exciting things on the horizon, I can't wait for what's ahead!

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    I'm inspired by drummers such as Keith Moon, Stewart Copeland and Billy Cobham who really bring their own personalities into their drumming. I feel like it really reflects on the whole feel of the record and the live shows. Also, definitely more groove based drummers like Steve Jordan and Clyde Stubblefield. I love the way they really lay it down for the rest of the band.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Enjoy the process and take advantage of any opportunity to just play! You really do learn best by just going and doing it. Learn from other musicians and don't be afraid to make mistakes, mistakes are such an integral part of growth as a musician.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I really love my 18" Sweet Crash with 14" K Custom Dark Hi-Hats.
