Ya well Springer did this for fun..not a living...he has since worked with amazing and accomplished artists....ev heard of Wild T and the Spirit..thats him.
Springer's act is amateurish. The only thing he's got going for him is he shares some of Jimi's genetic background. If you're looking for an authentic-sounding Jimi Hendrix tribute act, check out Randy Hansen. He is THE MOST realistic-sounding Hendrix emulator; been doing that for YEARS. And he just so happens to be from Seattle, WA, too! He's also OFFICIALLY recognized by the Hendrix family.
IGNORE MY PREVIOUS COMMENT. It IS Tony Springer. BUT, wow it didnt sound like him. I knew he was in a Tribute so this Clip must be PRE-93. It was the WIG that fooled me. Rock on Tony.
Yeah this is the best drumming version of this song on you-tube, good to see a drummer that's actually learnt the song, good job!

but hes plays too loud!!..i think hes more a straight rock drummer!!...mitch mitchells was a Jazz drummer ..he just mixed it up with Rock!!
I don`t think that he plays so cool and groovie like mitch !!

This is the only drummer in a cover band that gets it right for M.D. He makes the sound tumble down and roll like Mitch Mitchell. Good job.

It just doesnt sound like Wild T, and also Wild T is usually a lot more animated in performance.

that AINT Tony "Wild T" Springer. Wow - I am surprised no-one has picked that up. I actually think it might well be Carvin Jones.
