For all the full on kit playing Mitch Michell needed to produce with the Experience probably one of his greatest moments is on Electric Ladyland's "A Mermaid I Should Turn To Be" where his delicate cymbal playing sections counter the complex snare patterns to the full kit. It is one of the most adventurous and successful rock tracks anyone will hear.
Mitch Michell was born 9 July 1947 and died in his sleep 12 November 2008.
As Jimi's lyrics say in "A Mermaid.. "
"Well it's too bad that our friends... can't be with us today".
