Mike Mitchell - "Eye Of The Hurricane" with Christian Scott

VF Artist Mike Mitchell performs "Eye Of The Hurricane" by Herbie Hancock with Christian Scott (Christian aTunde Adjuah) LIVE at Scullers Jazz Club in Boston, MA!
**This performance was a one-song sit-in performance for Corey Fonville. Other than the sticks, the gear Mike is playing is not a representative of what he endorses. Mike endorses Vic Firth sticks, Remo drumheads, and Meinl cymbals.**

Mike's ability to comp with the soloist is unbelievable

[@andsuaz]

best paiste advertising since a while

[@janivelic2316]

andsuaz these are not his drums nor cymbals. But yeah. I agree👊🏼

[@loganweekly-wilson9511]

Damn Christian consistently surrounds himself with the hippest dudes

[@jakehill2010]

These cats are keeping that authenticity of jazz alive!

[@benurschel2258]

By far my favorite drummer right now. I was juiced to see in my recommended

[@Regshinkai]

Mike Mitchell has an amazing technique👏😱👍

[@TroyDawdy]

Guys who can play like this amaze me

[@JohnSmith-fy9bk]

That lick at 5:46 was killin'. Look at the smile light up on his face.

[@__julio__]

He's having so much fun, awesome playing

[@domininic]

i dig mike's approach to comping... he's definitely in the driving seat

[@scpk2246]

I love watching mike play jazz / fusion

[@peteradamhill]

Mike Mitchells mantra must be 'More Is More'

[@Carlo24515]

If less is more, then just imagine how much more more would be.

[@jacobgoulart293]

Too hard to follow? Hmph. People have said the same thing about Chris Dave. When you're good you can do real shit like that.

[@fuzzylogiceire]

" Less is more... how can that be? It's impossible... more is more" - Yngwie Malmsteen

[@cmanonbass]

Still one of my favorite Drum Cams, thank you Vic Firth!

[@donaldham1218]

One of my favorite drummers, Glad to see how he continue to evolve...He's defiantly been around in the game !!!...Also I love the melody and the fluidity of this piece...Defiantly takes you on a ride !!!

[@scpk2246]

jazz, another form of beauty!!!

[@patricktiglao]

This tune was written for intensity. Forget the less is more approach here. Its full tilt time!!

[@tomb5219]

What a monster, and he is only 22 years old !!!

[@drumzn432hz]

...could listen to MM all day! What a talent!!!!

[@healydrummer75]

I wanna go to this Jazz club so bad

[@uraharamitchell7250]

That Sax player though...DIOS!!!

[@menteencoma]

I don't get why some people are saying he's too busy. If you check out most of the post bop era recordings, you'll see drummers usually didn't just take the back seat.

[@Jordarr8994]

menteencoma Its alot of Tony Williams

[@JoeyvanLeeuwen]

he's definitely making some choices though to play a lot during the soft moments rather than let the silence ring...not that I'm dragging him tho bc he's an amazing drummer

[@patricktiglao]

It called musical narrow "mindedness "

[@ChristopherDillman]

These people who say he plays too busy are confessing they don't have even a pinky fingernail of the talent this kid has got. If you're born with those raw gifts, put it on display.

[@cx777o]

@@ChristopherDillman exactly! Oftentimes those who bash him dont even have an ounce of skill than this guy does haha

[@MrBarryhutch]

F..king Great!!!🔥❤️

[@martinreilly2752]

What a touch.

[@BobSchoepenjr]

True Master & also having so much fun!

[@bruceleeharveyoswald5104]

So busy! I love it!

[@Juan_Burgos]

YESSSSSSSSSSS, THANK YOU

[@thenel2162]

[@pedroleal7118]

[@alb4u]

[@boobman773]

My dream to play like this one day

[@SandroKuak]

[@bruceleeharveyoswald5104]

What a beast

[@bobbyboygaming2157]

[@jonasdutron]

DAMN

[@KennethKBBenson]

Dallas all day! Congrats to the homie!!

[@JeffJeanJumeau]

excelente

[@hermanmelville3871]

So much Tony in this kid.

[@uraharamitchell7250]

There's an ecclectic batch of souls in that guy, Tony is DEFINITELY one of them.

[@charlesislaw]

Facts..and Chris Dave...

[@satopsycho2152]

Scott's trumpet just sounds like a kind of guitar effect's on.

[@rootsdubz]

yea he' got a pedal, check out he's set Leverkusen Jazztage 2016.

[@stillphil]

or in this mix a KAZOO.

[@simeontj0]

5:58 - 6:05 end w the left … *chefs kiss*🥲

[@davidhall9756]

Boost that swing !

[@arthur.h._]

Muito legal! ^^

[@kylepoole97]

I love what Mike Mitchell is getting to though

[@arturmanukyan8862]

Crazy Michael

[@mariorivera432]

[@japaobateradrums2067]

Jazz eita pegaaaa toop

[@09denzelmvp]

Sick angles camera crew!

[@carlossantiagogomez888]

This is gnarly af

[@andrenino9987]

Une jeu excceptionel de la classe des plus grands Vinnie Colaitua, Billy Cobham, Tony Williams, etc.

[@filipdinevmusic]

It must be the sticks...

[@cym247]

Best for me on drums...

[@davidkey6623]

Is that a Beta52 on the snare? so interesting...

[@epicbaf]

This is great! But listen to the drums in this like trying to listen through a pillow.

[@juliantaylor7368]

yeah its a bad mix. piano too high. room mic would've been better

[@patricktiglao]

Mitchell SWINGS! Of all things he is sitting in someone else's kit and totally kickin it!

[@RAMMY237]

I would put bass a bit in front on the final mix. And drums do sound a little muffled as well. But the performance is absolute fire! Love it!

[@ginguenga]

wowowowowwow

[@uraharamitchell7250]

Are we going to skip over the fact that Mike Mitch just played 808 snares in a jazz standard and it was totally acceptable because of how covertly he did it? YOU LOT NEED TO STOP SLEEPIN ON MA BOY MIKE!!

[@diegobencomo4141]

And they match the same time at the last hit of the song haha

[@charlesbarry6730]

Reminiscent of the groups lead by Miles Davis . The groups lead by Herbie Hancock in the sixties.

[@Frisbieinstein]

It's nice they're keeping this old school stuff alive.

[@samuelcariaga5942]

Dog's fight 10:00

[@adammtroutman]

[@joshcheee8659]

[@danielroik6065]

Don't know who the Drummer is, but he look's like he can be, something else know matter what style he play's Nice.

[@uraharamitchell7250]

MIKE 'MUTHAF**KIN' MITCHELL

[@jordonbS777]

Mike Mitchell and Bennie Rodgers II look just alike to me lol

[@scpk2246]

i thought the YT is in 2x speed. I was wrong!!

[@user-zx2pe5se4k]

初めてですね有難う

[@EntryWound]

Please name the sax player.

[@MalikEmmanuel]

Logan Richardson

[@3achtolife4life]

at first I thought this was going to be a cool giant steps reharm lol

[@Jordarr8994]

That'd be a cool idea

[@edoardozampetti4601]

porca p..na che drive !!

[@Joakkim12]

Logan 👑

[@boostedsupras]

Everyone just going to sleep on how ridiculous that crooked trumpet sounded LMAO! I am not hating by any means but I can imagine how hot the signal was at the console at 3:43 lol.

[@joenoah9906]

His playing style reminds me of Thomas Pridgen

[@boobman773]

Sung Ha I don’t rate Thomas pridgen, Mike Mitchell eats him for breakfast

[@kingdavidike-elechi9707]

Boob Man Nah they are both insane in their own right and Thomas can swing just as well as Mike

[@MarrsG]

Thomas was one of his teachers/mentors when he was younger

[@sadcold]

Paiste now??

[@jamieharris327]

Hopefully it's backline

[@Carlo24515]

Yeah he was just sitting in for Corey on a tune

[@pokoten66]

Octopus...?

[@deepin2itnah]

Who's the Alto Player on this joint???

[@loicfereol5209]

Logan Richardson

[@Joakkim12]

The greatest living alto sax player, master Logan Richardson

[@kylepoole97]

I love you Vic Firth... But Eye of the Hurricane is by Herbie Hancock not Christian Scott

[@jamieharris327]

Read it again. The title says "with" Christian Scott not "by"

[@ddrum1090]

did he switch to paiste??

[@pl2odl2ummer]

nope, this was a sit-in performance - check the description!

[@ddrum1090]

My bad!! Thanks for the reply!

[@garyallenrusselljrdrums]

Awesome drumming. I just think he could be faster on some of the music. Seems like he was going at a snail's pace. I felt like I was watching molasses drip or watching water boil and metaphors like that.

[@banjomango145]

Left Handed Lead LLRL lmao

[@blockhax6146]

Watching paint dry...

[@uraharamitchell7250]

He was going so fast it appeared slow to you. What you was seeing and hearing was his afterimage.

[@NINT3ND0master]

Is that like a really shitty joke or are you retarded? Please elaborate.

[@iikiiguy]

He had Zildjian endorsement as I know. Why he plays on paiste here?

[@janivelic2316]

From Europe to Ghetto he sat in on other guy's kit man.

[@user-hs4wo1dv6r]

eye of play sometimes.

[@marcelodasilvaviana9755]

Show, e tem gente que não curte.

[@SedentaryArtist]

4:40-4:50 transcribe

[@bpolite668]

I didn't know Hardstop Lucas played drums😂😂

[@user-zx2pe5se4k]

私チャンネル担当者ですか、そうならリスト追加

[@cymandeh]

ladies and gentlemen...you are looking at human evolution

[@JazzDunn1]

Endorsed by meinl and uses paiste

[@fuzzylogiceire]

He was just sitting in, it's explained in the description.

[@user-oy1cj8sz2x]

クリスチャンスコット彼は恐らくこの先　音と美術の世界のジョイントコラボした方向にjazz音質を移行させるであろう。この先が楽しみで在る。,,,///\\\\GO／／

[@scottwalters3436]

no denying hes a great drummer. bit too busy for me, but what the fuck do I know

[@adammtroutman]

Perhaps he is busy, but I don’t believe he gets in the way. Definitely knows his space in the song

[@justgoofingoff]

Sounds like everyone is fighting for the spotlight. Little busy for my taste....

[@hgaleano96galeano52]

rebeljeeper1 You might be hearing the dialogue bro! Its sick!
