dawg said:i like mitch's playing,but at times w/hendrix it could sound a little sloppy,but maybe that's because the drums were tuned(or recorded?) so crappy.
ellenvannin105 said:If it weren't for Mitch Mitchell,I wouldn't even be playing the drums.His work on the first three Hendrix albums is unsurpassed.My favourite Mitchell songs are Third Stone From The Sun,1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be),If Six Was Nine,Manic Depression,and I think I'll just stop there or the list will travel into next week...

also doesnt ever seem to get the respect and credit, all attention for 60s drummers is directed at moon, baker and bonham.

man, there wasnt a thing the kid couldnt play, i might get to meet him for my university dissertation! that would be an immense honour
so yes, mitch can groove and swing like very few others (plus bags of creativity) and him and hendrix played beautifully off each other. made me realize the interaction possible between guitarist and drummer
peace,
