Evans: Will Calhoun | Set the Tone (Interview)

[@kyleeagle5563]

I lost it when he put the drumsticks and started playing with his hands. Will Calhoun is such a talented, well-rounded drummer and is one of my biggest influences!

[@handidrummed]

Will is a drummer that I almost think of similar to Steve Smith, where his personal style and progression on the instrument has been so dramatic and astounding over the years. You look at both of them 25 years ago and while they had rock and jazz as part of their style, over that time, they've incorporated a lot of ethnic rhythms (african for will, indian for steve) into their playing and have developed even more finesse and fluidity into their playing.

I remember watching Will at a Zildjian Day with Vinnie and Tony back in 1992. Will was awesome that day. Been a fan ever since. I love Evans heads and my choice of heads! David Curtis Drumming

+Sam Nabors Looking forward to seeing them play outdoors in downtown Long Beach, CA in September.

Anybody know what that leaf like cymbal is?

[@alexanderskog6882]

Is that the Onyx snare head he's using?

[@CallingAllDrummers]

What is the snare that he is using, anyone know?

[@EvansDrumheadsOfficial]

+Sam West That's his signature Mapex Black Panther "Nomad" snare with an Evans Black Chrome snare batter.

Wisdom.

[@HaloAdmiral]

I am really happy with Aquarian... But I may give Evans another chance.

[@EvansDrumheadsOfficial]

+Derpmuffins The Great Lots of great options to find your sound! Please let us know if you ever have any questions.

[@HaloAdmiral]

Evans Drumheads Thank you very much! I just have to ask... Do you have heads with a rough and gritty coating? I have looked at some of your heads, and they have a very smooth texture that doesn't seem too good for brushes.

[@EvansDrumheadsOfficial]

+Derpmuffins The Great Assuming you've tried our white coating, keep an eye out for an alternate coating on a new head being launched in the coming months.

[@HaloAdmiral]

Ah, okay! I saw the Evans 56' Calftones at NAMM. That's a really interesting model!
