| About this video: Butch Miles plays Wind Machine in 1992 with Walt Levinsky and the Great American Swing Band Butch Miles was born in Ironton, Ohio in 1944 and raised in West Virginia. He started playing the snare drum at age 9 in his school band. He became interested in drum set at age 14 and started drum lessons with Frank Thompson in Charleston, West Virginia at age 15. He soon began playing with dance bands. Butch's first big break was with Mel Torme's band in 1971. Butch's first drum hero was Gene Krupa, but he listened to every drummer he possibly could. Other favorite drummers were Papa Jo Jones, Chick Webb, Roy Haynes, Joe Morello, Louie Bellson and Buddy Rich. Butch cites the great Count Basie drummer, Sonny Payne, as a major influence. |
