Hello everybody. My name's Ryan, and I live in Iowa. I've been playing electric for a little under 3 years at the recommendation of our band director who was starting a jazz band, and I've never regretted it since

I'm going to be a freshman at Morningside in Sioux City to major in...guess what...Music! (and Math, but noone cares about that :P) Around the time that I was starting to play in our jazz band, I also really started getting into the prog/experimental metal, so I guess I have a lot of influences. I also play tuba, baritone (tenor tuba), trombone, sing, and I've recently taken up drumming on the side.
All in all, I'm happy to be a member on these wonderful forums.
