Ryan Inselman is a freelance drummer/percussionist residing in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Before Graduating with a music education degree from St. Cloud State University, Ryan had already been a four-year member of Minnesota Brass Drum and Bugle Corps., a two-year member of the world-renowned Madison Scouts Drum and Bugle Corps., and a very involved member of the Minnesota percussion community. While studying all types of percussion at the university, he had also unknowingly begun his career as a prominent and well-respected drum set player and clinician in the state of Minnesota.

Throughout the next six years he spent the majority of his time honing his skills on drum set, performing 250 shows a year with the nationally recognized band Fade 2 Shade. During this time, he also studied with nationally accredited instructors such as professor Terry Vermillion, Chris Thompson and Jeffrey Moore. These years on the road proved to be the true test of his love and passion towards percussion. The more he had the chance to play the more he was driven to excel in his field. Ryan is an experienced musician in all styles of music on drum set as well as being formally educated on ethnic and concert percussion. He has shared the stage with musicians/groups such as Sister Hazel, Michael Tate, Sixpence None the Richer, Johnny Lang, Agents of Good Root, Gordy Knutson, and Mike Portnoy just to name a few.

In addition to performing live, Ryan has also made a name for himself as a very effective clinician via the Minnesota Percussion Association. Through his endorsement with Paiste Cymbals, Spaun Drum Company and Innovative Percussion, he has also found his knack in the clinician community, putting his education degree to use. Ryan's past includes performing with Fade 2 Shade, MIke Terrio, Honey Wagon, Don Douglas, NAthan Anderson and Impulse Percussion Ensemble  When off the road Ryan is spending his time in the studios across the Midwest on various projects as well as on his own project entitled 'Perfectly Human'. Whether its live or in the studio, on the stage or in a clinic, Ryan's experience always plays a predominant role. His creativity is said to be contagious and, and his love for music just the same.
