About Us
Hello,
My name is Russ Miller. I have spent more than four decades (so far…) studying and playing drums. I have had and achieved many goals in my career and the latest is developing this Professional Percussion Pathway System. Through my years of development, I have come up with a pathway that I have personally used and instructed thousands of other drummers to use, that gets you to your playing goals. This is done by a 4-step system that coaches, organizes, and pushes you to a playing level you never thought possible. This is real, not a bunch of “cool fill” videos that you see everyday on the internet. This is proven method that guides you through the biggest hurdles, plateaus and misconceptions about playing “music” on the drums. There is a very big difference in being a great musician who plays drums and being a great drummer. The great musicians who play drums, play in bands, make records, movies, T.V. shows and tour the world. Join me and let’s see your playing rocket to new heights! If I can do it, you can do it….
