California rockers Rival Sons recently performed at the Clyde Theatre in Fort Wayne just down the road from Sweetwater HQ. Drummer Mike Miley was kind enough to give us a tour of his rig. Miley shows off his reissue of Pearl’s 1966 President series shells, then talks about his preference for aluminum snares and his relationship with Pearl. Mike is a true aficionado with an encyclopedic knowledge of drum history and famous players’ gear. Tune in for helpful hints on tuning heads, size selection, and how Mike shapes Rival Sons’ sound using the influence of history and modern gear options.
