As the drummer in the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Mitch Mitchell was one of the greatest rock drummers of the 1960s.  Mitchell was drummer on all of the Hendrix Experience’s recordings and some of his post-Experience solo outings, and was still in his touring band when Hendrix died in September 1970.

Cymbals varied but typically: 15″ Hi-hat,

In 1969 he moved to a Ludwig double bass kit with 24″ bass drums and additional 12×8″ top tom

Sticks were medium/heavy and he played seated low in a hunched position.
