My fiery take on this Hendrix smash shows I've got the skills to make it as a session drummer. Typically in my covers I echo Mitch Mitchell's groundbreaking beats closely. But with this one I turned up the heat, taking some liberties with the fills to put my burning stamp on the iconic track.
In this take on Fire by Jimi Hendrix I wanted to showcase not just my technical chops, but my ability to cook up a scorching solo while still honoring a legendary original - the hallmarks of a versatile session player. Let me know if I did the flames justice! Mitch pioneered some wild styles that I tried to channel between my blistering embellishments. More covers showcasing my session musician abilities coming soon...but for now, I'm letting this one smolder. 🔥
