About

P.Ellis Drums is a small custom drum company that offers competitive pricing on drums made to accommodate each drummer’s individual needs. The creator and founder, Philip Ellis, specializes in working directly with drummers to find the exact specifications of each order, from the overall look of the drums to the type of sound wanted out of each drum. P Ellis Drums’ goal is to collaborate and innovate with each P.Ellis Drum owner to provide them with the most perfect drum for their needs.

P.Ellis Drums came into existence in June of 2006 when Phillip Ellis created the very first P. Ellis Custom drum set in the living room that he shared with his 6 housemates. After playing on a summer tour with The Rocketboys and receiving compliments on the appearance and sound of the drums, he knew he had something worth pursuing. Over the next year he made a few drum sets and snares for friends–but was running out of room quickly.

In June of 2007, Phillip Ellis moved his workshop from the living room to a wood shop located at the Glass Jar Studios in Abilene, Texas to make room for more drums to be worked on. In January of 2009 P. Ellis Drums moved to Austin, TX.
