Deafinitely saddened by this news. Mitch Mitchell made a great contribution to music by his unmatched talent in the Experience. I have been told to watch the Monterey Pop Festival DVD to witness how he and Jimi interacted. I need to get that dvd. All of your comments are very informative. Although a lot of great drummers have been mentioned, Mitchell and Moon captured very distinctive rythyms, puctuation, patterns, passages that drove melodies beyond their boundaries imho.
Uncle Eric....that is Greg Elmore the drummer of Quicksilver....interesting slip of the tongue...
I find some solace in the drumming of Matt Cameron and Anton Fier and as always Bobby Caldwell and of course our own Paul Whaley.
Play On !...!..!.......!!

Mitch Mitchell was the Randy Holden of the drums. R.I.P.

Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding also featured as Clit McTorious and Henry Mankowitz on Randy California`s `Kaptain Kopter and the Twirly Birds` album `way back. Like Jimi taught Randy (not the famous Randy) to play guitar when the `not famous at all Randy` was 15 years old. So, like now, there could be two reunions, unless, of course, the other Randy has resurfaced.
Is your Clit McTorious Isis? ;D

well apart from also being a cancer, i don't see any resemblance between mitchell and holden. mitch mitchell played and kept playing and didn't have even a whiff of prima donna about him! and i don't remember ever hearing of him calling himself a god either.

OK, now that this material is out of the vault and y'all have a copy I will ask, what do y'all think of Tony Rainier's solo at the end of "I want you once again?" I'd say it's a total freakout a la Vincebus Eruptum.

I wonder if I'm the only one out there who considers Mitch Mitchell to be their all time favorite drummer? I still don't think there's any better drumming on a rock and roll song than the one Mitchell played on Hendrix's "Fire"! That whole song is practically a drum solo with a guitar and vocals!

vonears,
I can definitely agree with you on that but I even like the way he performed it live even moreso,...love the version that is on Live At Winterland,......to me all the live performances I like better than the studio versions,...
the same I think also applies to Paul Whaley's playing on Come and Get It on Outside Inside

Yeah, "Come and Get it"--I still catch myself thinking about Whaley's "DID-LET, DID-LET, DID-LET" sound on the drums on that one--not to mention all the "phasey" drumming on "Gypsy Ball". I think that album influenced UFO later, because I heard a lot of "phasey" drumming on their "Flying" album. I think UFO's drummer was a Paul Whaley fan.
