I never thought of Mitch Mitchell being at all underrated and is normally in most peoples great drummer`s list (certainly in mine). Like Noel Redding who is a great bass player, they played with Hendrix probably the most revered rock musician in the last 40 years or so. Everbody knows Hendrix, whereas only those in the know remember the other two, both of whom were vital ingrediants to the JH.Experience.
While speaking about Mitch Mitchell, another classic drummer of that generation and time was certainly Mike Shrieve (Santana) His performance on Woodstock was one the festivals major highlights.
