damn this guy drives a groove really well! i am a fan

[@ingarbyum2562]

I went to a Rival Sons consert in Oslo.... blew my mind! I have been on a lot of conserts with a lot of hyped bands, but this was by far my top experience.

[@jhand294]

The most underrated band. Very sad they aren't going platinum.

[@hopelessstrlstfan181]

So true. Also, I love this drummer. The Ringo of the 21st Century. Great taste and plays to the song. No need to hide behind a giant set of drums or overstated and flashy fills.

[@markusthedrummer8143]

Why sad? So ignorant when fans say that shit. Ask any band out there how popularity ruined the magic they once had. It’s called the music INDUSTRY for a reason.

[@RogierRJDonker]

mayor Bonham vibes! love it! you've got a new fan mr. Miley!

[@tadhgodonovan3134]

Incredible drummer and what a sound. My new favourite.

[@michaelflorczyk5495]

He went to the elementary school right across the street from my house. Great drummer and I wish Rival Sons were bigger than they are.

[@04010025266]

[@udruboika8979]

[@jameswittlich7150]

Rival Sons rhythm section is the schizzzz....

[@rhythmista7707]

3:15 - 4000 Gretsch kit, and snare has chrome pitting on top rim....😆😂 Great performance from Mr. Miley, though !

[@Leddrums]

Gr8 Mike!!!!

[@1jeAhonen]

Simple inventive hard.

[@markusthedrummer8143]

Finally! A newer drummer that doesn’t play spazzo gospel chops and paradiddles as fast as they can just to show off. And Paiste cymbals like Bonham! Nice work sir

[@AdorntheWickedBand]

OOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@waltheisenberg7626]

This guy sounds like the original recording drummer.

[@jimmy_keegan_drums]

It is the original guy. The audio files are the original recording and we tracked the drums for this video as you see them in the Aquarian warehouse. Then I mixed it with the drums a bit loud for the sake of the drumhead demo.

[@telnet-23]

Anyone know what cowbell he uses? LP downtown or uptown I think but dunno which one? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@moritzmark3418]

What is the Hihat bottom? It looks like a soundedge, but there is no 2002 big beat soundedge.

[@jorgeaugustbm]

just noticed the same thing and quickly adressed comments to verify it!!! hahaha I guess it's a 2002 SE bottom. I've read in a lot of foruns the lack of chick in these big beat hats. Would like to check on the 16s, tho.

[@TheCOZ]

What's Keegan doing there?

[@jameskirkbydrums]

what heads is he using on the toms? classic clear power dots? asking as i have some old power-thins on my toms and looking for the closest match replacement for them

[@trashbin7205]

Yeah, he's using power dots on the toms. His full head setup can be found here: www.aquariandrumheads.com/artists?q=MikeMiley-3

[@jameskirkbydrums]

Trash Bin cheers! :D

[@trashbin7205]

[@bajajagrandasee3668]

[@goldMarie6]

I wandet driver drummer, for...

[@e.g.systems6146]

Love the band, the song, and the drumming. May need just a tad more cowbell though....
