Style of Playing
Ryan utilizes many techniques to make the instrumental edge of the band even more rich. His bass playing is a key part of Mudvayne's sound. This is particularly emphasized on the song "A Key to Nothing" from The End of All Things to Come, which he played with a fretless bass. He does not use any effect pedals, preferring a clean, natural sound from his bass. He stated on this matter that: "I like the natural approach to playing, and I'm not exactly…I'm not a purist, I mean, go for it. If you like synth bass, octave pedals and stuff, then utilize it. I'm not against any of that stuff, but I do like to find those things with my hands."
