Mitch Mitchell was a drummer for Jimi Hendrix.

He was one of the more influential drummers of the late 1960s and early 1970s. He is most noted for his work with The Jimi Hendrix Experience, and praised for his legendary works on such songs as Manic Depression, and Third Stone from the Sun. Coming from a jazz background, Mitchell brought his dynamic, flowing style to the group, and was given the freedom to "take it out there" along with Jimi Hendrix, while still keeping the grooves grounded and solid.
