Will started playing drums at age 8.  Drumming with rock bands, marching bands drumline, and in studio, Will constantly honed his craft.  Taught by drummer/teacher Ken Michael for 10 years, he learned from one of the best around.  In his play, you can hear the musical discpline and rudiments that are instilled from drum corps, mixed with the funky free-willing rhythms.

Will’s play is influenced by Buddy Rich, Carter Beauford, and Dennis Chambers.
