Remix of Rhythm World from "Arrival" featuring Mabvuto Carpenter on Lead Vocals, Steve Gadd on second drum kit and Gleam Joel on Rap

“Russ Miller - the more than all-round artist Relentless as ever since he started drumming, Russ Miller is actually one of those drummers that can really tell you what a professional drumming and recording career is about. He is the guy that recorded mega hits like Nelly Furtado's I'm Like a Bird and Lady Marmalade with names like Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mya and P!nk, just to name a few. Cool first references, but there is so much more... When looking at the walls in his studio, his track record is a bright glowing award scene lathed in Gold and Platinum, with Disney's best-selling movie with Elsa and Anna right next to his Tina Turner platinum sales. You can literally hear Russ Miller on any given moment without even knowing it: when watching a movie, a TV-serie or on the next hit song that was just released. Meanwhile, Russ his recording credits keep growing every time he walks into his studio or when he has a session for any given artist for any possible record label at any another music recording facility. Russ is part of a family of musicians that is unknown to many. Just like 'The Wrecking Crew,' recording many hits for just as many icons, Russ is a member of a silent, hardworking gang of musicians that have the skills to play whatever is needed for a song, a leader, a commercial or, one of Russ' many skills: get called in and record complete movie scores and music for TV Series, even on the fly. To reach that level as an artist, you need a lot more skills than just being one of the best on your instrument. Russ is also an arranger, a composer, a mixer, a studio tech, and a designer of dozens of drum related instruments. In his studio, he has the latest and highest level recording tools running to track the next 'Wonder Woman' movie or any other blockbuster or release on his record label. Russ Miller is prepared on the highest levels in music for any client asking for his services. From analog reference to any digital level with the latest state of the art studio equipment, software and hardware, Russ is in that small group of artists and studio owners that really knows how to stay on top in the music industry. ” - klaas Jan Stol

International drum star Russ Miller's solo album, “Arrival” was released on R.M.I. Records to rave reviews from press and fans alike. “This record is a huge project. I have worked on the concept and material for three years. I wanted to do an exploration of rhythmic vocabulary. My own, and other great drummers and percussionists as well. We put a new band together and along with some guest artists, recorded ten compositions for the ensemble.”
The line-up of musicians features: Meredith Brooks , David Garfield, John Pena, Neil Stubenhaus, Frank Gambale, Ross Bolton, Jerry Watts, Rick Krive, Eric Marienthal, Jon Papenbrook, George Shelby, Rique Pantoja, Nick Lane, Pete Lockett, Luis Conte and Richie Garcia. There are a few special guest vocalists as well. Nelly Furtado, Mabvuto Carpenter, Jarvis Church and R&B Star Lina, have lent their talents to the project. Russ elaborates, “The Rhythmic Conversation idea came to me about a year before we started the project. I wanted to explore different feels and genres of rhythmic pulse with more than my limited viewpoint. We wrote nine compositions based upon different styles and approaches, tailored to the specific artists that I was doing the duet or trios with.” Each “Rhythmic Conversation” features the “Superstars” of the drum and percussion world: Steve Smith, Rick Marotta, Steve Gadd, Jeff Hamilton, Johnny Rabb, Zoro, Akira Jimbo, Pete Lockett, Luis Conte, Richie Garcia and JR Robinson. “We wrote these nine, roughly 3-minute compositions, with myself and one to three of the other artists. It’s been one of the biggest challenges of my career to try and hang with these guys! It’s very humbling, exciting and an incredible learning experience for me.”
“Arrival” features ten new compositions and nine “Rhythmic Conversations” featuring the aforementioned artists. Heard as a single track, the percussion pieces transition in and out of each ensemble composition. It makes for an exploration of rhythm for over 78 minutes. A sonic journey through rhythm, musical camaraderie and masterful performance, “Arrival” is a staple of the new lineage of contemporary jazz.
