PlayCajon EP 24: Elise Trouw

Elise Trouw is a talented young drummer and multi-instrumentalist from San Diego, CA. Her drumming journey began age 10 after taking an interest in the video game Rock Band. She then started taking lessons with educator Dave Blackburn and began playing the “real” drums. In February 2017 Elise released her debut solo album Unraveling, on her own label, Goober Records. Elise plays drums, vocals, guitar, piano, and bass on the album and features ten tracks of original songs. Elise has a wonderfully positive vibe and has already achieved a lot in her short career as a musician. She has a huge social media following, boasting over 250,000 followers on Instagram and is also a bit of an online marketing genius, building a solid audience and fan base in only a couple of years. We recorded this episode back in February so one thing to note is that Elise now endorses Paiste Cymbals.
