Fire_Jimi Hendrix_drum cover
I haven't played this song in months, maybe 2 or 3 years. Gave it a go. It's fast, and not a great one to play after jumping off the couch because one's little sister asked via text if I played any Hendrix songs, lol.
I thought I was doing pretty well with it until around 2/3rds of the way when I flubbed a fill and then lost a stick immediately afterward. Got the stick back somewhat smoothly and continued on. I sometimes go several sessions without losing a stick...and then sometimes I get the drops and lose several. I can't explain it, it happens.
Mitch Mitchell was a fantastic drummer. A lot of Hendrix songs are difficult to nail down because he was so good...almost understated, even among a lot of drummers.

Confession - this is the first time I've ever played this song, lol. Not perfect, but good enough, IMO. I've heard it a few thousand times though, so I wasn't too unfamiliar. It's one of my favorite 80s songs, even though I grew up in the 80s and hated most of the music at the time. Now, it's nostalgia and enjoyable. It's crazy how aging works.

I think I prefer the live version (I think the only live version) of them playing this at Hyde Park - they rock out a bit more. I didn't think that version would record too well, so I went with the studio version. Anyway, it's one of my favorite songs, so I figured I should record my interpretation.

WARNING - do not watch if you have a short attention span, this is a LONG song, lol. A good one to kind of put on in the background, IMO. Ok, disclaimer aside, I haven't played this one in a while. It's much more jazz than rock. I stick to the template but improv a lot of things. It's fairly close to the recording though, I think. I dabble in jazz-ish drums, but I just don't have that mindset a...

I don't know how I missed this one a year or two ago when I recorded a bunch of Zep songs. Anyway, it's one of my favorites...along with 20 other Zep songs. lol. This was a telework lunch break recording. I came into it totally cold. I'm sure it helps that I've been drumming Zep songs since I was 15 - which was 35 years ago.

I don't know what it is with this song. It's so damn ominous and haunting. The rhythm guitar (Keith, I'd think) just drives that one note/chord into my soul during the verses. I'm a drummer, so I really don't know the technical terms. My fancy do-dads on the jam block in the beginning didn't seem to come through very much on the recording. Oh well. The cowbell parts are played via a foot pedal.

    Congratulations, first drummer ever to figure out the elements of the groove. You've got them all in there. Most people don't seem to realize that there is no real overall pattern to the elements. Thanks for the studio take as the live performances, in true Gratefull Dead fashion, were never the same. 😉 Excellent vibe excellent groove!!

    • @DM-tc3gz
      @DM-tc3gz 5 днів тому

      Thank you very much! The only part of the song I try to play with any structure is the chorus. For all of the other snare drum rat-tat-tat bits, I just kind of go by feel and follow the melody/lyrics and mix and match things to fit the beat. I likely don't play it the same way twice, much like the Dead! The snare would've sounded a little smoother if I played it traditional-style, but I didn't in this recording. I play it both ways depending on my mood. Matched grip is superior, IMO, for moving around the set. Traditional grip shines on subtle snare drum work. It's a weak spot in my playing, but I've gotten better at it over the years.

      Very much so! The Stones can get a little repetitive to me if I play a bunch of songs in a row, but I very much enjoy Charlie's playing! I enjoy Ringo also. People don't give him enough credit, but he was a lefty playing right-handed, and he came up with such great quirky fills that fit with the songs so well. They were each perfect drummers for their bands, IMO.

      Thanks! Very nice and tight doubles on the bass drum from what I watched of your latest vid (the Cypress/BB mash up). I avoid my double pedal unless I'm playing Primus or Rush songs (I stopped playing metal/thrash a long time ago). As I get old, I play that stuff less often, so I really hardly use it anymore and just rely on my primary foot. Do you live in a place where acoustic drums aren't possible? I'm thankful, and it was a priority, that when I found a mostly permanent place to live the ability to play drums was a major factor in my decision. There are no volume knobs on acoustic drums, lol.

      I love the custom aspect of electric kits, essentially they are big samplers and operate much the same way. You could load anything onto these pads if you really wanted, but I love to get drum sounds and customise them for kits. I always played acoustic growing up but right now no, not too possible right now I have 2 kids so space is limted as it is!! Atleast if need be its no problem to quickly tidy this away particularly around summer times and such!

    Song got even cooler after watching this video. Strange, the things drummers do in a song but you never notice. Or rather subconsciously notice, because you DO love the song, you just don't know the full reason why you love a song. For instance, watching this video, and others like it, you realize that symbols aren't just for crashing, but lend atmosphere and fill up the sound. Sometimes too much with certain drummers. It's possible to watch these videos and not notice that he's actually doing something with his left foot.
