Ryshawn Tims - Drummer for hire
Overview
As a drummer, I thrive on the energy and passion that music brings to life. My roots are in gospel, where I learned to infuse my playing with soul and rhythm, creating a deep connection with the audience. My experience in the Marine Band has further refined my skills, allowing me to embrace a wide range of musical styles. Training at the Armed Forces School of Music provided me with a strong foundation in discipline and technique, enhancing my versatility across genres. I love adapting my sound to fit the vibe of any performance. For me, drumming is about more than just keeping time; it’s about inviting people into a shared experience, uniting them through the power of rhythm.
