Hendrix passed?...who wouldn't want Mitch Mitchell in
they band?...Noel Redding you could see..he wasnt much
of a bass player...and split too early...but MM had the good
sense to stay till the end.

Nah....Jazz is the REAL music....Rock n' Roll is fun, dont get me wrong,

going to Portland. I wasn't able to make it. I don't know if MM was
well enough to appear at that show. But I did see the show that
started the ongoing tour, a Hendrix tribute at Bumbershoot about 15
years ago. In the rain, naturally. I don't even know if MM was at
that show. Damn.

"Hendrix died after a drug overdose in 1970. Redding was 57 when he
died in 2003."
Damn. The Jimi Hendrix Experience is no longer with us.
Now playing: Jimi Hendrix Experience, "Live At Winterland"

What about Bill K.? Esp. the period from 71 to 74 when he was the sole
drummer in the band. He always seems to get overlooked.

I don't know how you can rate drummers any easier than guitarists.
There is style versus technique, etc. However, I will definitely agree
with Grunk that Bill Ward put some interesting rhythms into what made
Sabbath great. The focus is usually on Iommi's riffs, Geezer's neo-
psychedelic lyrics, and Ozzy's out-of-control demeanor. However, the
icing on that musical cake is definitely Ward. He pushes them to the
top shelf.

I was looking at his Wiki page recently and was surprised to see that
he tried out for Wings and was turned down. Too bad, but I can see
how his style wouldn't have fit. Of course, since I have only seen
this on Wiki, who knows if it's true.

Name me another drummer that was pullin' 4-5 hour shifts
on stage night after night, and NEVER dropping the beat?
You think Neil Pert could cut a 45 minute "Invitation" at 3am?
Nah...this dope was back at the hotel, alone, with nothing more
than his moustache curler and tattered copy of "Atlas Shrugged"
...and I LIKE Neil Pert.

Ever hear of a dude named Billy Kreutzman? I thought not
Scot
bmo...@nyx.net
It's also mentioned in a number of other google hits - I don't see any
reason not to believe Wikipedia as long as it's not something
controversial. Wikipedia also mentions that he turned down the drummer
job for ELP in 1970. ELM? ;-)
Also interesting is that it seems that Hendrix was looking to hook up
with ELP and had a jam session planned with them when he died...

Sweets, I like you list just fine. Moon and Bruford would definitely be in
my top 2.
Now, why the hell did Hendrix replace MM with Buddy Miles?

Absolutely without a doubt my favorite rock 'n roll drummer of all
time. I am in awe every time I listen to "Derek and the Dominos
Live". The drum solo on "Let it Rain" is the only listenable drum
solo ever recorded IMHO, it is a singular piece of work. Too bad
about his mom but that dude could play. RIP Mitch, you sure could
play too.

through November 24 -- 40% off any disc/set, not including pre-orders.
So Jimi and Otis at Monterey would be less than twenty bucks.
http://www.criterion.com/asp/release.asp?id=169
or the three-disc set would be less than fifty.
http://www.criterion.com/asp/boxed_set.asp?id=167
from Mitch Mitchell's obit on the Criterion blog:
"For the Monterey Pop Criterion release, we had a hell of a time
trying to re-create that huge drum sound from the studio records. The
great remote recordist at Monterey, Wally Heider, did a valiant job
just trying to get anything on tape. The seven-track master we had to
work with had mics being moved and repatched in the middle of songs.
Drums were an afterthought to the vocals and guitar, so legendary
engineer Eddie Kramer had to build much of the drum sound from bass
player Noel Redding’s open vocal mic!"
