Ryan Yerdon of Puddle of Mudd Joins the Meinl Cymbal Family

Meinl Cymbals would like to extend a warm welcome to Ryan Yerdon, who has recently joined the company's family of cymbal artists.

Ryan slams the skins for the hit-making, multi-platinum rock and roll outfit Puddle of Mudd, and are currently on the road in support of their late 2009 release Volume 4: Songs In the Key of Love and Hate

Ever since the revamped POM hit the road in support of their industry-comeback album Famous, in 2007, and now with their support of Volume 4..., the band has seen gold album sales...not an easy thing to manage in this day and age of digital piracy.

Behind it all is Ryan, who brings a spirited, steady pulse to the tunes, lifting catchy-as-hell lyrics and melodies to the next level.
