ABOUT
My name is Ryan Smith, 25 living in Southampton.
I've been drumming for over 10 years in numerous originals bands and covers bands. This was mainly based in London and partly in Southampton. So I've had lots and lots of gigging experience and playing infront of crowds rangings from 100 to 8,000.
I have my own lovely Tama Maple kit but sadly I do not have transport. What I lack in this area, I make up for in my enormous passion, enthusiasm, dedication and professionalism regarding drumming and music.
Music is such a big part of my life and I listen to an eclectic range of music. Some of these genres are Motown, Indie, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Pop, Rock, Metal, Folk, Classical, Prog etc etc
This all leads me to being able to play in any scenario and situation!
