One man's fantastic percussive accompaniment is another man's wasted potential. I guess we have different opinions and tastes. Yes, I think he blew it and could have been great. Instead, just mediocre. Sorry. Maybe there are other opinions outside of the trailer park.

Obviously Ginger Baker is one of the only drummers of his type (of a 60's psychedelic power trio) to go forth and become an interesting musician. Mitch Mitchell was a case of wasted potential, IMO. Obviously Ginger Baker was not. However I could not resist acting 'as if' in relation to the Neanderthal response of Deano. My bad.
