About Will Pearson

Professional drummer based in the southwest of England
Drummer
Bath

Always looking to fill my calendar with gigs when I’m not performing, I have over 13 years experience drumming and have performed at pubs, private events, festivals, weddings… you name it! (Notable shows include: Resurrection Fest in Spain, Motocultor Fest in France, Shambala Fest in UK, O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London, Bloodstock Festival in UK, as well as countless function and wedding shows!) As well as this I have also experience in the studio with some of my previous original bands recording albums and EP's, I love to dip in to any area of drumming really, and I’m always up for a challenge, so I’m up for original music work as well! As a touring musician I have played for crowds of up to 10,000 people, I’m well versed in just jumping in just ‘getting the job done’ I can guarantee that you will feel at ease on stage with me as I always turn up prepared (often over prepared!) Below is a list of original bands I have worked with: - Embodiment - Rannoch - Party Cannon - Basement Torture Killings - Body Harvest - Dies Holocaustum - Mad Apple Circus - Eleusis - Virtual Reality - Lychgate - Cranial Contamination - Cybervoid - Chewing Glass Collective

Cannot recommend Will highly enough! We were in a real tight spot when our previous dep wasn’t working out, and Will came in, learned our (quite technical) ska punk set in three weeks. These are all original tunes we’re talking about, so he learned everything from scratch, and absolutely killed it. He’s a lovely chap, everyone enjoyed hanging out with him for the weekend, it was just great all round. It was the first time we’ve hired a dep online, so we were a bit nervous but Will was just fantastic. Will definitely use him again if we’re down a drummer! Nice one Will! Love Mad Apple Circus xxx

Will did a great job! Learned all the songs spot on, was really good to work with, performed well on stage, he's a nice guy and we would work with him again in a shot. Totally recommended!
