BIO: From the age of eight Ryan Hoyle knew he wanted to be a professional drummer. "I was snooping around in my dad's closet and found a pair of drumsticks and a practice pad. From that point on I was hooked."
At thirteen, Hoyle and his family moved from Anaheim to Seattle where he landed his first gig with a Christian recording artist.
After graduating from high school, Hoyle enrolled in the prestigious Percussion Performance program at the University of North Texas.
In 1998, Hoyle left U.N.T. and landed a gig with one of the most prominent show bands in Texas, Le Freak.
