My Take
Will Hunt is the kind of musician I find endlessly admirable. Born in Gainesville, Florida in 1971, he's been the drummer for Evanescence since 2007, but his resume reads like a tour of hard rock royalty: Black Label Society, Static-X, Godsmack, Staind and more. Getting that many calls from established bands is proof of a rock-solid foundation that fits anyone's sound. To me, the great sidemen are the secret heart of rock, the ones who say everything through their playing rather than the spotlight. There's something deeply cool about a craftsman who lets the groove do the talking.
