„"Paiste cymbals allow me to express myself fully, and they record like an absolute dream. The overtones have an almost chord-like musicality, combined with unmatched presence and clarity. Unequivocally the finest cymbals on the planet!"“

Biography

Will Andrews is a professional drummer in Seattle, WA. At a young age, Will cut his teeth by meticulously learning his favorite songs on the radio. Growing up near Boston MA, Will’s passion for music naturally led him to attend Berklee College of Music. During his short stint, he was lucky enough to pick up skills from some talented friends, and had Mike Mangini as an instructor for a year and a half. After getting the itch to leave his home state of Massachusetts, Will left Boston and moved to Seattle in his late teens to pursue new projects that would perpetuate his musical growth. Will has played on dozens of recordings ranging from progressive rock, alternative rock, singer songwriter, metal, and experimental. He has performed live in clubs, arenas and everything in between. He is the current drummer for three Seattle area bands, Walking Papers, Ten Miles Wide and the instrumental group Night Palm. Walking Papers has headlined tours in the US and Europe, and toured supporting Alice In Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Aerosmith, and Myles Kennedy. Ten Miles Wide has toured the west coast performed with Korn and Stone Sour. Will can be reached at will.d.andrews@gmail.com and can be followed on major social media platform.
