Who was Ryan Krieger?

His drumming combines the raw strength of rock with the tightness of funk and a lot of jazz elements. Ryan is known for his sensitive, forceful, and innovative style, and can easily switch between instrumental, singer/songwriter, rock, pop, jazz, Latin, electronic, hardcore, and metal styles.

Growing up surrounded by his father’s audiophile musings and listening to hundreds of excellent songs at the “proper volume,” Ryan developed a love for the music of many genres, notably punk, metal, and jazz.

He studied music from great drummers like Karl Latham and Gregg Bissonette. He occasionally works as a bassist and guitarist while also writing music.

He was able to share stages with Bruce Hornsby, Iron Maiden, Sun-Ra, and Slayer. He performed at the Las Vegas strip with “Blue Man Group” and “Legends in Concert.”

Additionally, Ryan has performed and recorded with the world music legends “Bad Haggis,” a Deep Purple tribute band called “The Sound of Purple”

And a brief stint with “Crazytown,” a country tribute band called “The George Strait Tribute featuring Jack LeDuc,” The Voice finalist “Justin Hopkins,” freelancing on the West Coast, recording for TV and film.

I just found out we lost a great friend, musician, and father Ryan Krieger. Ryan was a friend to me at times when I thought i had none.

He was a tremendous musical colleague and mentor. I have no words for our loss. My prayers go out to his immediate family. To his family who I haven’t had the honor of meeting, he was a huge guide for me in music friendship and life. May God heal your family and rest his soul.

We lost a local legend this week. If you were lucky to be around in the 90s and early 2000s you probably saw Ryan playing with Drop Thud Oops, JJs Greatest Band on Earth or the Travelin Bubañas. If you were at Rampage on the River or up at Ricky farm or one of the open mics you probably remember being blown away by his talent. He always had a smile. And if you talked to him you would be at ease with his good nature, fun loving personality, and humbleness. He moved away and followed his dreams making a career in music. If you knew him you probably know he’s gone by now. If you didn’t… well… believe me when I say he was one of the best. Rest in peace my friend.

Ryan Krieger ..One of the absolute best drummers I’ve ever been blessed to play with. When Ryan was behind the drum kit I knew we were going to Rock the joint and blow the roof off the place! But most of all he was a great person and one of the kindest people I’ve ever known. He was a dear friend, brother and great father. My deepest condolences to his family, especially his son Max.. And I will miss my brother…Rest In Peace, Love and Music forever amen..
