Part 5/9:

Mitchell's drumming was known for its diversity—capable of being loose and funky, crisp and direct, or soft and ethereal. His influence is perhaps best encapsulated in notable tracks like "Fire," "Purple Haze," and "Foxy Lady," where his percussive creativity shone through in unexpected fills and complex patterns. He specialized in syncopation and would often orchestrate his parts in tandem with Hendrix's alternating rhythms, accentuating the improvisational element of their music.
