Howdy, i'm Ryan & I play drums.
Over the past few years i’ve been able to tour all over the UK, along with the US & Europe.
I’ve been able to play with artists including The Killers, Babyshambles, Editors, The Charlatons, Athlete, The Pigeon Detectives, REM, Jack Penate, The Maccabees, Snow Patrol, Little Man Tate, Good Shoes, & The Crimea.
I've also been able to play some of my favourite venues in the world including Radio City Hall (New York) and The Astoria (London); along with selling out The Wulfrun (1,200 Capacity), Wolverhampton.
I've achieved a top 10 UK single with 'The Lines' in Feb '08 on the release of 'Domino Effect' (Weekender Records).
I was trained classically on the Clarinet from the age of 9 and later progressed to Saxophone under the influence of my Farther and his love for Motown & Soul Music.
In-between I also developed a keen taste for Rock-Opera from my Mothers interest in Broadway/West End and Musical Theatre.
I discovered drums & percussion at the age of 16 when I found a passion for Indie, Rock & Pop music due to the commercial success of bands like Blink 182, and The Stereophonics.
As I've spent so many years in different bands - playing Soul/Jazz/Pop/Rock/Indie (to name a few styles!), I've also self-taugh myself Guitar/Bass & Piano - although I would advise you never ask me to play them for you - being a drummer my talent is making a lot of noise; and thats how it sounds!
Not just good – BRILLIANT.
