About Me

......From the powerful barrages of Rock and Metal to thecolorful and neolithic flavors of Surf and Tribal, Will Cratch covers them all with his unique styles of drumming. Welcome to the official myspace of drummer Will Cratch!!!. This page is ran by the "Iceman" himself. This is a page dedicated to drumming, free-spirits, the respect of nature and music. All people with open minds are welcome here. Will began his music career at the age of 12 under the guidance of Eddie Bowen, founding member and former lead guitarist/vocalist of "Bowen Brothers". They played shows around the eastern North Carolina area and recieved some atttention. Will later left Eddie Bowen's group "Crimson Rain" to pursue other projects. After "Crimson Rain", Will joined "Karma Kills The Day". That band consisted of all teenage musicians and were all highly regarded as young "veterans" of music. The band was short lived but got back together to record the "Lipsyncing to the Sound of Silence" demo but never completed recording it do to conflicts in the band.Will was later asked if the band would get back together and he said, "Dude, if the band is destined to get back together it will happen in it's own time. Maybe the sun has set for KKTD, only time will tell". They were schelduled to reunite to play a benefit concert but the idea was scrapped for unknown reasons. Since 2007, Will has been doing session work and the occasional projects on the side. "The summer of '09 will be my comeback" Will says, "I have been taking a much needed break but I am ready to hit the road once again".Stay tuned for new info that may surface very soon!! The summer is almost here!! Peace and love to you all! Be safe-WillHeader Banner Made with MyBannerMaker.com!
