Biography
C.G. Ryche is a visionary drummer/multi-percussionist out of Southern California, currently drumming for "The Cinematic Masters of Metal, IronWrath." With nearly four decades of experience, Ryche is a world-renowned recording artist, award-winning filmmaker, and master percussionist. His diverse performance history includes collaborations with notable artists such as Benise, Ambrosia, Wayne Newton, TA West, and an independent solo artist. In 2007, Ryche released the live concert DVD "C.G. Ryche - Echoes of Silence" on PBS, which has since been hailed as "A Must See for the Whole Family!" by PBS Affiliate KVCR and continues to air successfully across public television networks nationwide. C.G. Ryche is also known for his work as a world-class drum choreographer, partnering with global brands such as NFL, The Walt Disney Company, Hewlett-Packard, AHL, Hollywood Pictures, PBS, major MMA events, and various drum festivals. Ryche is in high demand as a creative director in the music industry for his unique insights in developing a range of Vegas-style residencies and theatrical concerts, including projects like IronWrath’s Master Storyteller, Chalo Eduardo's Magic Pandeiro, Rhythm Dragonz – Zenyma, C.G. Ryche – Mystic Rhythm, and Oliver and the Imaginarium. C.G. Ryche has been playing Paiste cymbals and gongs for over three decades and relies heavily on their sound to push the boundaries of his rhythmic artistry. His work captivates audiences and earns the respect of his peers, solidifying his standing as a leading figure in the realm of contemporary music. "To refer to C.G. Ryche as a 'Renaissance man' would be an understatement. The passions and interests of this gifted, consummate Artist run wide and deep. His talents are evident from the moment you meet C.G. or watch him stride confidently onto a concert stage, and they have served him well, helping him to parlay his love and reverence for Music, Performance, and Rhythms into a long and successful career that has inspired and educated a generation." - Daniel Glass / Author & Writer for Modern Drummer Magazine.
