Oh my god...Mitch is a legend who goes somewhat unappreciated...goddamn, what a loss...this completely took me off guard.

RIP Mitch, I've analyzed your drum work intensely and it's helped me progress so much as a drummer...you deserve so much praise for the hard work and soul you put into your drumming. Rest easy buddy...

Yeah I actually spent a lot of time listening to his drumming and it helped me out a lot with fills and such. This makes me want to go bust out in "Fire" but most of my set is at a friend's house.

I like how there is a picture of Hendrix instead of the actual man that died.

I'm pretty sure Sputnik automatically puts the picture for the featured artist with the article, and in this case the artist is the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

And wow this sucks. Another dead musician? Really? :/

Mitch Mitchell was an amazing drummer. I'm pretty sure he was already playing professionally by the time he was fourteen. Sad to hear that the Experience is no more. RIP.
