About Miah

I'm Miah Palmer, a professional drummer and author with 30+ years of real-world experience spanning rock, blues, funk, and everything in between. I've performed on live television, opened for artists like Steve Vai and L.A. Guns, and worked alongside Grammy-nominated producers — and now I bring that experience directly to my students. I teach drummers of all levels, from absolute beginners picking up sticks for the first time to advanced players looking to sharpen their technique, timing, and musicality. My approach is patient, practical, and tailored to each student's goals, whether that's learning your favorite songs, building a solid foundation, or preparing for professional work. If you're serious about the drums, I'd love to help you get there. Learn more at miahpalmer.com.

About the lesson

My lessons cover three core areas: rudiments, drum set techniques, and chart reading/writing—all reinforced with essential music theory. My #1 goal is to make learning fun while guiding students toward their musical passions and building real proficiency along the way. With teaching experience spanning ages 4 to 70 and institutions from local music stores to Musicians Institute, I'm equipped to work with students at every skill level. Also, check out my book, "The Irreplaceable Musician," available on Amazon and through my website, miahpalmer.com.

Miah's response
Angel is brand new to playing music, yet seems like a natural. After 15 minutes she's already playing 8th on the hi hats and quarters on the kick drum with no prior experience on the drums. Looking forward to seeing what the musical future holds for her.

Natalie is the perfect student. Excited, passionate, and experienced in dance which crosses over rhythmically and helps learn syncopation as well as tighten up timing. Happy to gain a student like her.

Perfect! Miah was just was I was looking for, within minutes of the lesson I already felt comfortable and was learning things about the drums I never knew existed and could only be demonstrated in person. No question was a dumb one and he answered everything I asked. I learned a lot from our 1st lesson and have some homework to do and looking forward to learning more from him. Highly recommend him to any drummer looking to learn and have fun at the same time!

Miah's response
Jason has a solid presence on the drums, fairly good time, and has a good foundation to now better improve his technique, dynamics, and endurance. We will start to work on reading and then writing music, as well as playing songs Jason wants to learn.

My son had Miah as a drum teacher for over 5 years. Miah's teaching approach was remarkable in its ability to adapt to my son's needs and musical preferences. He carefully tailored each lesson to align with my son's skill level, ensuring my son was engaged and steadily progressing.
Beyond his technical proficiency and passion for drumming, Miah's genuine care for my son set him apart as an exceptional educator. He took the time to understand my son's strengths and weaknesses, offering encouragement and guidance when needed.
We are deeply grateful for the positive impact Miah has had on my son's life. He not only taught the fundamentals of drumming but also instilled in him a lifelong love for music. His dedication, passion, and unwavering commitment to my son's development will always be cherished.
