Mitch Mitchell, RIP

Mitch Mitchell passed away this morning.

He was one of the quartet of great British rock drummers from the 60's, the others being Ringo, Keith Moon and Ginger Baker. As a member of the Jimi Hendrix experience, he provided a perfect foil to Hendrix's guitar playing, being as intense, innovative and original in his playing as Jimi was to his. And without him, Hendrix would not have been as successful.

Mitch will be missed.
