Mike Mitchell DIRTY Drum Solo

Spirit Fingers Live in Chicago, Illinois @ Andy's Jazz Club performing "you".
Greg gives Mike the okay to go wild, and then sends it into a completely free drum solo, no hits.
This was epic to witness in person to say the very least. Me and my guy Jeremiah geeking out at the end lol

[@NathanSletner]

I honestly feel bad for anyone that doesn’t understand what a monster Mike is. The joy I get from experiencing his playing is so enormous that I just want to share it with everyone, but not everybody gets it.

[@AgAu_Drums]

Exactly. I love showing his playing to everyone I can, but not everyone appreciates this style.

[@Jordarr8994]

there's literally no other drummer on earth that sounds like mike mitchell

[@ChristopherDillman]

Ronald Bruner Jr is the only other drummer I can think of who comes close. They are both in my top ten all-time.

[@christopherbarriosmahmud7309]

I love the "what tha fuuuuuuuck" at the end haha

[@TheItalianDrummer]

Christopher Barrios Mahmud hahaa that shit fucked me up, I thought I was ready😂

[@mitchboy1000]

The only response everyone has in their head after watching a Mike Mitchell solo🤣👏🏽🔥🔥

[@THEEBlackAnime]

His musical language is SOOO vast!!! 🔥🔥🔥🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

[@Jordarr8994]

pure creativity and musicality on the highest level

[@nunnayuhbitness6708]

He was playing some really wicked concepts.

So GOOD to check in with the latest from Michael. I have seen him 3 times with Stanley's band. When I first saw them/him I thought, "Who the HELL is this guy??" I thought maybe he was Tony Royster Jr. all grown up. I played for seven years real serious but I still follow drummers and love drums. I have seen Buddy Rich 3 times, including a 15-minute (!!) drum solo. I honestly think Michael is the best that I have ever seen. Stanley used to kid him about hardly being old enough for a driver's license. It is his OFF-BEATS in the middle of all this wonderfully complicated, lightning-fast stuff...... When he goes into those, I have ZERO idea of what the hell he is doing. (Not much idea about the rest of his music. LOL) Judging from the feedback on this video, he is finally getting the recognition that he deserves!! Thank you for this video, and my apologies for the love rant.

[@drumken]

[@mattchu.]

then you get to the end of the vid and see it's a fucking sit-down venue lmao sad. People should be dancing their asses off

[@TheGironDrummer]

Ronald Bruner Jr se quedó pendejo... 🤣

[@EstebanPolos]

Ronald no está tan lejos en realidad, pero creo que Mike esta mas centrado en el jazz que el

[@TheGironDrummer]

Y es mucho más joven, los admiro demasiado a los dos, seguro Ronald fue influencia de Mike!

[@Nuxunumo]
