Rival Sons drummer Michael Miley is back on The Sonic Road Podcast for episode 42. This one covers drumming, jazz, John Bonham, and what’s coming next for Rival Sons in 2027.

Miley talks about the student approach that still drives him at this stage of his career. He studied with ex-Mars Volta drummer Dave Elitch around 2015 — working specifically on posture, body mechanics, and how he fixed chronic shoulder and shin problems through technique changes. He still checks in with Elitch once a year. He gets into how that work shows up in everything from his hi-hat position to playing a full show without breaking down.

He also covers the John Bonham comparison that surfaced in a 2013 article during the Great Western Valkyrie period, what it pushed him to do, and how jazz drumming from players like Max Roach, Philly Joe Jones, Art Blakey, and Elvin Jones actually shows up in a hard rock band context. Comping, ghost notes, and listening — not just chops.

Insanely honored that Rival Sons gets to be a part of this year’s Guitar Center Drum-Off.
I’ve been a huge fan of this event for years — the judges, the guest artists, and especially all the hungry up-and-coming drummers going for the gold. Never competed myself, but I’ve always respected what this stage means. Let’s go! - @mileyondrumz 💫 Go to axs.com for more info 👈 by @mileyondrumz
