ARTIST PROFILE
Will Stokes
Birmingham
band: Absolution
STICK SIZE: 2b
I started drumming at the age of 13. I remember my first drum lesson where I was taught the basic 4/4 grooves and fills, playing along to Black Sabbath Paranoid. At the end of the lesson I remember figuring out by ear how to play Queen We Will Rock you, it may sound like the most simple song in the world but at that moment thats what I decided I wanted to do.
I’ve played in many bands over the years coving a wide range of styles. My longest running back is Absolution, the Old School Death Metal band which were formed before I was born. More recently I have joined the Metalcore band Nebula State.
Both are gigging and preforming around the country, with a few EP’s, Albums and Music Videos to come, certainly something to watch out for if you like it fast, loud and balls to the wall.
WHY DO YOU PLAY COLLISION?
I play size 2B. They are heavy and solid like swinging a hammer, they feel like the won’t break or give up on me even when battered and bruised. I would recommend these sticks for their durability and how they give the drums their true sound.
