Mike is such a great player. I love his hi-hat work on every album he's done! 🤘It's the small details that make him so special.

Been a Rival Sons fan since "Great Western Valkyrie", love Mike's drumming and his all around attitude, this video is awesome, not only because of the kit rundown but also he shows how he does his warm ups and keeping his body healthy, love it :)

Great rig run down… one of the best I’ve seen! 🥁 Love the demonstration and in depth description of everything! Mike Miley really does a great interview always great detail… that what I appreciate as a fan!! Wonderful drummer as well! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻👊🏻🥁🙏🏼🇺🇸🙏🏼

[Cichlids]

Wow, LOVE that you are actually playing the kit and walking us through each piece, GREAT STUFF!!!

Rival Sons is probably the most underrated hard rock band in history...other than maybe Grand Funk. It's unbelievable that they open for bands like Smashing Pumpkins, it should definitely be the other way around. The last time I saw them they opened for STP with a replacement singer. WTF I highly recommend any fan of hard rock go see Rival Sons...they are freaks...all of them!

Great vid, I love when the drummer plays the particular drum/cymbal they are actually talking about out. Great drummer, great band

[scsdrummer]

I love Mike’s drumming, and that prototype big beat. Sounds killer.

[luisrene]

Great sounding drums, wide open and resonant....

[ronjon]

I love the ride. It’s sounds so sweet. The entire kit is beautiful.

[WhyTheHorseface]

Great video! Thanks! Gonna go listen to the latest Rival Sons album!

[ingemosh]

i love the silver sparkle finish on this kit!

[andybrown]

Seems like a cool guy! I asked him awhile back about how he keeps in shape while on tour. He also likes to run for cardio, which is perfect! You can get out and make that happen, maintaining a tight schedule. Also love the band work too!!
