Ah, no - sad news indeed. Many a teenage hour spent with the headphones on drumming along to Hendrix and trying to work out what Mitch was up to. Great grooves ...

That really sucks. I have extremely fond memories of learning to play with Manic Depression blasting.

This makes me quite sad. The Elvin Jones of rock is gone.

and with Buddy Miles gone, that makes 2 Hendrix drummers in one year. we are losing too many of the greats and too quickly.

I listened to Axis last night, and kept coming back to "If 6 Was 9" - I lost track of how many times I listened to it. That album really showcased his versatility.
And, his participation in The Dirty Mac for the Rock'n'Roll Circus was really cool. Not the best performance, but that was about the coolest super group one-off ever! Wonder who he's jamming with upstairs right now?!?!?!
