Will Calhoun

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Will Calhoun (born William Calhoun on July 22, 1964, in Brooklyn, New York) is an American drummer graduated with honors from Berklee College of Music. He is best known as the drummer for the rock band Living Colour. He has also played with Jungle Funk and HeadFake , recorded several jazz albums as a leader, and has appeared as a sideman with a diverse group of acclaimed artists, including Mick Jagger, Pharoah Sanders, B.B. King, Herb Alpert, and Mos Def.

Calhoun's drumming incorporates many different stylistic influences and various augmenting technologies. With Living Colour, he was one of the first drummers to blend advanced funk and fusion techniques with elements of hard rock and thrash metal. More recently he has integrated drum n bass grooves, ethnic percussion and sampling into his playing. He is a very physical player, with a broad vocabulary from extremely precise grooves to more freeform avant-funk and jazz approaches. He is also an avid user of the Korg Wavedrum, which allows him to integrate banks of effects (including guitar pedals and other effects not typically associated with percussion instruments) into a single drum. Will has recently added a Mandala Drum into his setup. The Mandala is a dynamic multiple control zone electronic surface that uses sensor technology to detect where and how hard a surface strike occurs.

Will is also a photographer.
