Man...I've spent A LOT of time with Eli. Prbably spent more time listening to him just,...fucking crush snare drums. Him, on headphones, or iver mics,...is provably responsivbe for a full third of my hearing loss. Worth it.
I loaned him some kit a once, fuck man,...it was not made of unobtainium, and was promptly reduced to parts, ...MONSTER.
Eli was just a beautiful dude. I remember him coming off of Rademacher stage and being like, "Maaaaaaaatt, I fucked up all ur drum parts". I think what he meant was "He Fucked!Them! Up!", not, "played them mistakenly." He def. was not apologizing.
I haven't seen him in forever. Unforgetable person.

That’s good stuff! Thanks for sharing, Matt.
A beautiful tribute, Mikey!
That means everything coming from you, sir. Thank you.
I seriously just teared up. Thank you for compiling and writing all of this.
Thank you John, and thanks for your words.
