Mitch Mitchell was one of the GREATEST drummers who ever walked this earth!!!

When you listen to Mitch Mitchell you hear the melodic changes. How is that possible? What an amazing musician. Always loved his playing. Hendrix could not have had a better drummer complimenting him. So much fun to listen to!!

To me, the first Jazz/Rock drummer.

fuck less is more. more is more. this is awesome.

This is the cleanest isolation I’ve heard. Background noise is minimal. Good work!

Am I crazy or does the drumming in the verses sound like hip hop/dance beat? This legend was ahead of his time either way. My absolute favourite Experience song.

Every drummer should listen to this many many times over before attempting to play it. I love this guy!!!

Big time jazz influence.. Love it ..nothing like it.

Giving that snare a beating. Love it.

honestly best part of the song, thanks!

Way cool I consider Mitch Mitchell to be one of the all time great Drummers.This gives you an example of how creative and precise he was. Thanks for posting.

The KING of the killer shuffle

Mitch could cook!!!

Saw Hendrix twice at Curtis Hixon Hall in Tampa FL during the 60's. The Are You Experienced Album was the first record I learned to drum to. I'm 69 and still playing. I went back and played this yesterday. I forgot how fast and busy Mitchell was, but it never sounded like overplaying.

Such a slammin' track! Drummers to me r the real band leaders 'cause if they don't give u goose bumps , you aint going nowhere

there's some crazy gating going on with the overheads

What an absolute all-time performance. Amazing.

he is the definition of having all four limbs doing 4 different things

My goal is to play this, I will never come close but I love how he plays. One of my newfound faves!

just great!

1:30 he starts going off. Doing fills he hasn’t done before

Fantastic drummer..

Smokin'

Mr Mitch is up there with Bonzo

He is so fun to study. Ill spend the rest of my life if could but serious he is special.

❤❤❤Mitch❤❤❤

1:40 ha!

Snare is so crackin'

He was only 21 years old. Don’t make them like they used to.

Mitch mitchelle has got to be the most underatyed drummer of all time listen to hoochie coochie man on bbc sessions .literally every song he plays on is a drum solo

this guy was a monster on the drums. so overshadowed by jimi

Forget for just a moment questions like "so who was 'the best drummer'?": even just a little contemplation quickly reveals such fathomless conundrums can only ever be totally insoluble riddles, simply because they are so subjective, so much a matter of personal taste. Instead, why not listen to what is actually on display here: this is surely the most challenging drumming in the entire rock genre. Not challenging in terms of sheer endurance, like The Ventures famous live version of Wipeout, or Clem Burke's marathon continuous-through-the-whole-song drum break in Blondie's 'Dreaming', or Danny Barcelona's 'solo that takes up the entire intermission' in Satchmo's 'Stomping at the Savoy'. No, this performance by Mitch is as creative as anything Bill Bruford put together on Yes's 'Fragile' album, but unlike Bill's most inventive breaks and fills, just about every second of this entire track is... kinda... 'drum-based melody', where the bass (which you can now go and listen to on the full track) is kinda (just by dint of its very simplicity: the bass on this turns out to be about as basic as you could ever imagine) highlighting just how much of something approaching a 'complete melodic entity in itself' that is happening in the drum department: in other words, there's little doubt that this qualifies as some of the best, or perhaps the most impressive 'drumming' of all time, for two reasons: find me something else which matches this for 'creativity' and also matches its 'accessibility' : it isn't 'difficult listening' despite being technically extremely sophisticated, a combination which any bebop drummer (and they definitely do like to push the limits, technique-wise) will tell you is a very rare, if not unique set of things to reconcile on a drumkit.

Funky and speed and in the pocket

I'd love to hear my man x with a Baptist church choir.

Hello everybody, i have a question. Can someone tell me something about the sizes of the silver sparkle drumkit on the picture please? Thank you in advance!

get rid of digital quantizing in modern music. Bring back real performances like this one

Geez, I need to start playing to a click track. listen to the unwavering tempo!
