I just think it's cool you can get an outline here.Ther'es some great covers of this,and some not so.But everything you can take something away from and make it your own,.....well that's really what it's about.
Completely agree! This vaguely surrounds the basic ride, but misses some key elements, IMHO. Very disappointing an editor of a drum mag would get this so wrong.
Just an obsevation, your right foot freezes when you were going into the fills at the end. Mitch kept the right foot working while the hands were busy. Again, just an observation, and not a cut as you stated, you are not doing Mitch lick for lick, as he seldom did either. That was the problem with the drum induced scene of the day. Thanks for posting the main basic beat for the song. I like to double up on the kick and really add excitement this grove whenever I play it. Peace
My older brother saw the Jimi Hendrix Experience Live during their first tours because he worked at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco and other venues in New York during the mid 1960s into the 70s, and he told me Mitch Mitchell played this drum part (The one that you are showing on a Single Bass drum)actually on 2 Bass Drums like Ginger Baker-.I personally asked Mitch Mitchell when he played with Randy Hansen in 1985 about it also, and he confirmed that yes it is 2 Bass Drums on the song.
Also, I don't think Mitch held back in the verses. Again, I think there's a bit more going on with the ride & crashes than Andy perceives. Also, I think Mitch fully intended to play it a little more subdued and build it up. I agree 100% that Mitch rarely if ever played a song the same way twice and all musicians should embrace improv. The more you do, the better you'll be. I also really liked how Andy described the tension created at the end by essentially abandoning the waltz.
@stevefty - Right-on man. Andy is a solid drummer and offers some good insight into Mitch and the tune, but fell short in a few ways. He really missed the beautiful randomness and to some degree complexity of the ride playing. It's absolutely not all 1/4 notes. There's one-a-two-threes and one-a-two-a-threes -plus lots of crash hits -really gets a nice wall of cymbal sound much like Keith Moon and you don't get that off one cymbal (sure you can to some extent by striking it every which way).
I am an impatient person and best way for you to get me intrested on your video is to just play it ...and then explain it with the whole breakdown,otherwise I'd be cliking on to the next one ( BTW Great Drumming)
MM is playing a shuffle on the ride alternating between its different tones. He drops the last beat of the shuffle when he plays a the double stroke on the tom.

In the album Mitch actually plays swung eights on the ride with downbeats on the bell.
