I'm the Drummer You're Looking For

DRUMMING IS MY PASSION

Experience. Dedication. Creative Style

Welcome to my website. I am Los Angeles based professional drummer Darren T. Elliott, and I have decades of experience jamming, performing and recording.
I am regarded as an “outside the box” drummer, because I study a composition to find the best opportunities to insert the right amount of color, energy, and sophistication, to bring out the best in a song. My motto is this – Compliment the rest, to bring out the best!

Professional Drumming with Heart and Precision

Playing the drums from the heart means I pour my soul into everything I create. As a Los Angeles based professional drummer, whether you have an arrangement in mind or need help crafting one, I am here to help. I am affordable, dedicated, and treat your project with the same care and dedication I give my own. Let’s talk—contact me today to see what we can create tomorrow.

My Story: I started on pots and pans

It was the Summer of ’73, I was 6 years old when I was at my brother’s Bar-Mitzvah held at the Sportsman Lodge in Studio City, Ca. I don’t remember much about the Bar-Mitzvah, but I certainly remember the Hippie drummer and his gold-sparkle kit that I couldn’t stop watching. I made the hard choice then, not to become The Six Million Dollar Man, but instead a drummer. Read Darren’s story by clicking this link
