such a great guy...so great at adapting and meeting the challenge of teaching a 3 year old to play an instrument she's obsessed with! Personable and fun!

Ed is one of those one in a million musicians who is both natural and articulate with really abstract musicality and creativity aspects of playing and music, and also among the most studied, dynamic, open, and monster chop having musicians I've ever encountered. I've played on a dozen or so recordings with him and Ed always exudes a warm, fun, relaxed, but focused vibe that makes everybody play their best. He would be an ideal choice both for a beginner to get on the right track or a more seasoned player that needs a mentor.

I've worked with Ed on and off over the last few years. As a player, he is a total pro, able to deliver at a high level across many styles. What I really love about playing with Ed is that he is also a great person - always a positive attitude, punctual and prepared. Ed is my first call when I need a drummer, for both live and studio work. He has also given some drum lessons to my son, providing not just style and technique, but also some great philosophy and guidance about music in general.

Ed Miles is a great percussionist/drummer and teacher. I have worked with Ed many times over the last year living here in Austin. The students will gain much from his knowledge and experience. Dave Manley-guitarist/composer/Educator. Www.davemanleymusic.com

Ed is a consummate professional. He understands multiple genres of music and adapts to them seamlessly. He's is creative and willing to play straight ahead or better yet, upon request, he'll interject with professional advice that can really move the needle forward!
