Born and bred in Dorset. Recently spent the last year studying at drumtech.

Love being able to play and write music, always on the look out for new projects to get involved in!

Now teaching lessons for drums and also music theory, please get in touch if you interested.

My philosophy is to see your individual ability expand through tuition and to get the best out of anyones potential.

Born and raised in the South-West of the UK, Ryan Halsey has been playing drums for 6 years. The inspiration to play came from experiencing a friend playing and the energy and passion that are involved in drums.



After being taught for a year, Ryan Halsey spent the early years of his drumming by listening to a wide variety of albums to learn and improve. This benefited him a lot, giving him an insight into the feel and groove of different styles.



Soon after Ryan Halsey was playing with a number of different groups including a hard rock band and a 12 piece ensemble, giving a lot of gigging experience. “I realized that the purpose of playing live is to entertain people so I always tried to give an energetic performance whenever I had the opportunity” says Ryan Halsey. “Being part of the large ensemble opened my playing to lots of new styles that I was not aware of.”



Ryan Halsey soon realized that there was a lot more to learn with music and moved to London, to do a one year Diploma with Tech Music Schools. Being taught by musicians who were successful themselves taught Ryan a lot about how the industry works, and also about the role of the drums as a part of the music. A percussionist by the name of Bosco De Oliveira gave a different view on music in that it comes from the heart and it is felt, not learn from a piece of paper. “ I learned a lot about music as a whole and how it works, which has helped me to develop my playing to suit each style.”



Since then Ryan Halsey has returned home to Dorset, with big ambitions to achieve something in his life with music. “ I enjoy writing music as much as I do playing it, if one person takes the time to listen and gets something out of it, then its been worth doing.”



Ryan Halsey is currently passing on his knowledge to students, getting involved with youth workshops and becoming part of a big band, on the way to making a successful career with the help of Soultone.
