About Ryan

Drumming has been a monumental part of Ryan's life for as long as he can remember. His journey behind the kit began in his early teens, sparked by his mum's extensive CD collection — she gave him not just an introduction to music but the encouragement, opportunity, and a home where he could make an ungodly amount of noise learning to play.

To Ryan, drumming has never been simply about playing an instrument. It is an outlet, a form of expression, and — above all — therapy. There is the indescribable satisfaction of unlocking a challenging groove, the cathartic release of sitting behind the kit after a difficult day, and the sheer euphoria of performing live.

His recording experience includes Night Thieves' latest album, Metaxis, a powerhouse of crushing riffs, intricate rhythms, and atmospheric melodies. With years of experience performing in numerous bands across the UK and more exciting shows on the horizon, Ryan is always looking to push his playing further.
