While he appears unassuming, session drummer Tully Ryan is a machine that puts the rhythm in rhythm section. He sat down with Vanessa to tell the story of his evolution as a drummer - from his humble beginnings in wedding bands, to playing with the likes of Ngairre, GODTET and Hekka. He speaks on the need for spaces for young musicians, sharing knowledge and the importance of avoiding missing your flight to Perth on the day of a gig.
