Russ is not only a wonderful drummer but also, and most importantly, a great human being. I had the privilege to spend some quality time with him in 2007 and 2008 and was impressed by the man. His playing reflects his intelligence, empathy and big heart. I wish I'll get the chance to meet with him again one day.
Here is the power of drums. In 1994, I saw Dom in New Zealand. Not a great time in my life but his clinic and playing lifted me up. Like an uncle that invites you round to his garage to have a chat and help on the classic car. Guidance. In 2022 drums are still part of my life. Recently sold my Yamaha dtxpress III 6 pce drumkit and are moving towards conga, timbale and rototom set up. Chimes, cow Bell. It's an evolving thing and great fun! God bless you all.
Vinnie might be from another planet, but Russ has made a huge, very important impact in the music scene, not only playing at the highest level and designing awesome products for the drummer, but helping a lot of drummers with his truly inspiring and intelligent modern drummer magazine articles. When he plays, you feel a really musical drummer, and when he speaks, you know you are in the presence of a wise musician and humble human being. Russ Miller is a world class drummer and THE role model: great human being, non stoppable student of music and engineering, and a very honest and professional business man
Russ is a wise, centered, humble "human" man. Good inspiring advice from a smart, accomplished, resolute guy. I've never heard his drumming, but I will make a point of it. Dom is doing musicians (and others) a great service with his interviews. Notice that all his interviewees give the same common-sense advice. I am not a drummer, but I am a life-long musician Now I just have to apply the advice and finish things. ; )
Great interview! I had the chance to meet Russ back when when he was with Yamaha. We both did clinics at PASIC 2004. A very humble, professional and great guy!
