Will Calhoun

“My snare has a 6×13, 2.3 millimeter brass shell. I wanted the brass to be thinner so I could get a nice ring, but it’s not too much. I decided to go with that size because I can still play loud but not have too many overtones.”

In a video tour featured by Modern Drummer Magazine, Will Calhoun discusses his use of the Mapex Saturn Drum Kit, highlighting his preference for a 2-inch spread between drums to accommodate various genres like jazz, rock, funk, and metal.

These are Will's drum stick of choice.

"Evans drum heads and snare accessories have assisted me in propelling my drum sound into the 21st Century. The tones are consistently clear and Powerful. The variety of sounds and textured drum heads create a plethora of endless options to perform in any musical situation;, and for someone like myself who enjoys many avenues of music, Evans always puts me in the right place."
