Well i havent done my top ten drummers of all time yet but one who will definately be in the top 5 passed today.. Mitch Mitchell most notably known as the drummer for the Jimi Hendrix Experience.. His flashy fast jazz style drumming made Hendrix's band rip! My favorite moment of his is his brief drum solo on the song Bold as LOVE... so amazing.. the first time I have ever saw video of him drumming was their performance of Wild Thing at Monterey POP. And while hendrix is burning his guitar Mitch is burning up his kit with his fast sticks.. so amazing.. I know for a fact that DONALD E. CURTIS was very influenced by his drumming and even read his book!
well its know official that all three members of the experience are gone.. WHAT A SAD DAY!
