Neil Allen has a go at the Jimi Hendrix classic "Fire" with percussion by another of Neil's drumming influences: Mitch Mitchell

There really isn't any other way to describe Mitch Mitchell's drumming other than to say that he's pretty much the only drummer that can make Moon's drumming look sane by comparison :-)

  • good, but not the way mitch did it

  • Yup, Neil never plays anything with the original arrangement, that isn't his shtick. He likes to do his own arrangements that "sound plausible". How plausible they are varies, and if you think it sucks don't be afraid to say so (don't be afraid to say you like it either :-)

  • lol dude turn of the drums it sound like drums with delay effect

  • You go!!!!!!!

  • Oh my god! You're awsome!

  • 5 stars...just great...plus you are drumming to one of the great classic rock tunes. I'll bet your Dad has something to do with that :-)

    Mitch Mitchell was probably the 1st most influential rock drummer to me as he came on with that classic style. Of course there were others to follow.

    Actually, the bass is being played a fair amount (certainly not blindingly fast), but youtubes' flash encoding loses a lot of motion, even at that speed.

    The bass pattern here is composed of packets of triplets and these packets appear as a single stroke after the flash encoding (they can be heard in the audio, of course). You can see a little bit of what's happening in the video, though, between 2:00 and 2:14 (frame sync is just right to catch a little more of the motion).

  • He's hardly using the bass, I thought you were joking :L

    Never mind :P

    The boy's got some potential, jokes aside :D

  • Joke? What joke?
