Mitch Mitchell July 9,1947 - November 12,2008

Mitch Mitchell was the last surviving member of the phenomenal '60's rock band The Jimi Hendrix Experience. He was a jazz drummer when the Jimi recruited him into the band so he brought in alot of those jazz chops that you hear on those great songs. If there was a drummer I want to play like it would be him. Mitch brought with him the best of both worlds into those songs.

The only difference between my drumming and Mitch Mitchell's drumming is the time spent on the kit. I really do consider him an inspiration. He switched to DW Drums before his passing which to me makes him even more special as did the late great Randy Castillo, who really inspired me to play DW Drums.

To whoever reads this, grab those vinyl records, cassettes, cd's, and yes now mp3 players And sink in The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Michael Nessmith and Peter Tork knew what they were talking about.

The Day After...

Still the same. Still Haven't What I'm Looking For (U2 for some of you youngins out there).

Hey look From My Head, Obnoxousness and Positive Thinking. BAH-HUMBUG!!!!

My Birthday

The day was November 8, 1971. I was born. The End.

Depressing isn't it. Some days, I wish I could turn back the hands of time and stop that faithful day or nine months prior convince these two people (my now parents) to stop doing this gross horizontal mambo they were about to do. Why I bring this up? Because My Life SUCKS right now and I haven't found a way to get it to stop sucking.

Maybe it's because I'm not inspired anymore. Or I haven't found the positive things going on in my life.

Hey look From My Head Its Whinning. Richard Lewis would be proud.
