THANKS TO ALL
I WANT TO THANKS EVERYONE FOR COMING TO MY WEB SITE
MY NAME IS DOUG ELLS AND I'VE BEEN PLAYING DRUMS FOR 41 YEARS.
I STARTED PLAYING DRUMS AT 12 AND I AM A SELF TAUGHT DRUMMER.
AS SOON AS I GOT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL I GOT AN OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL I PLAYED PROFESSIONALLY ON THE ROAD FOR 15 OF THOSE YEARS
I'VE BEEN TO 48 OF THE 50 STATES,CANADA AND MEXICO TWICE
I PLAY DRUMS,SING LEAD AND BACK UP VOCALS AND PLAY ALITTLE BASS GUITAR.
I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE A LIVING DOING SOMETHING
I LOVE TO DO,AND NOT GET TIRE OF DOING IT.
ON JULY 31 OF 2001 I HAD MY FIRST 2 HEART ATTACKS I HAD TO HAVE A 5 WAY
BY PASS IT LASTED 2 MONTHS AND I HAD TO GO BACK IN 3 TIMES AND HAVE 11 STENS PUT IN. ON MAY 4 2006 I HAD MY 8TH HEART ATTACK AND THEY PUT IN 7 MORE STENS, THEN ON APRIL 26TH 2007 I HAD MY 9TH HEART ATTACK AND 2 MORE STENS,THEN ON DECEMBER 10TH 2007 I HAD MY 10TH HEART ATTACK AND 4 MORE STENS SO NOW THAT MAKES 25 STENS I HAVE HAD AND A TOLAL OF 10 HEART ATTACKS ON NOVEMBER 11TH I HAD MY 11TH HEART ATTACK AND THEY PUT IN 3 MORE STENS IN SO NOW I HAVE 28 STENS AND I'M STILL HERE AND
STILL PLAYING.THE DOCTOR SAYS IT,S GOOD THAT I'M DOING MY DRUMMING
TO STAY ACTIVE.I'VE BEEN WORKING IN THE STUDIO WITH SOME FRIENDS AND THIS WILL BE THE THIRD CD I'VE WORKED ON, DOING VOCAL AND DRUM TRACKS.
I ALSO GIVE DRUM LESSONS,AND AT THE SAME TIME I'M LEARNING MYSELF ALL THE TIME.THEY SAY YOU CAN'T TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS, BUT I KEEP TRYING,
I'M PICKING UP NEW STUFF ALL THE TIME,I THINK WHEN YOU STOP LEARNING IT'S TIME TO QUIT PLAYING. I HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYS MY WEB SITE AND COME BACK AS OFTEN AS YOU LIKE.AND THANKS AGAIN.
