Jimihendrixmitchell_l Mitch Mitchell, the last surviving member of the seminal 1960s rock band the Jimi Hendrix Experience, was found dead in a Portland, Ore., hotel room on Wednesday. Reports list the English drummer's age as either 61 or 62. Authorities say that Mitchell (pictured, standing at right, with Jimi Hendrix and Noel Redding, in 1968) apparently died of natural causes.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer had been in town performing as part of the Experience Hendrix Tour. Jimi Hendrix died in 1970 and bassist Noel Redding passed away in 2003. (AP)

Mitchell pioneered a style of drumming which would later become known as fusion. This is a "lead" style of playing distinguished by interplay with lead instruments such as guitar or keyboards, and the melding of jazz and rock drumming styles.

Sadly missed but fondly remembered.

So shocked and saddened about this, having just seen the Experience show. We'll miss you, Mitch.

Mitch and Noel never got enough credit for those great Jimi Hendrix Experience albums. Jimi was never quite the same without them....RIP to all three...

Rest in peace, MM. There's a drum stool with your name on it in heaven and Jimi & Noel are plugged in and waiting for you to count off the beginning of an eternal jam session.
