| I love Mitchel but honestly he's not in the same league as Baker. I love how he sounds in the studio but live versions show he is sometimes sloppy. Baker is amazing. |

Ginger, as he was Mitchell's inspiration. Oh, and he could not touch Baker's foot work. ------------- This message was brought to you by a proud supporter of the Deep State. |

Mitchell was more loose and jazzy, and had fantastic fills and licks. I found Baker's drumming too repetitive. Lacked the chops to really spice up Cream. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

^ Mitchell's 'somersault drumming' perfectly complemented Hendrix's guitar playing. Not sure about Baker's lack of chops though. |

Baker really but I don't own that much Cream or Hendrix. The Cream track I love just for the drumming is the White Room http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkae0-TgrRU" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkae0-TgrRU

Mr. Baker by a landslide.....though I dig Hendrix, the drumming is the last thing I listen for. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

I'll vote for Mitch. I like Cream and I like the contribution Baker made to Hawkwind, but overall I'm not that keen on his style. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

That's basically how I see it.....I did go back and listen to Mitchell with Hendrix and he's damn good but beyond that I don't have much to say. Baker has done so much with so many bands and and in different ways that it's hard not to pick him overall. When I listen to Cream Baker stands out and is a third of the sound but when I listen to Hendrix Mitchell gets kind of lost in the hoopla. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

even with the deduction of points for one of the painful to listen to drum solos ever committed to vinyl  . Ginger still rules...both excellent players... creatively.. that is what seperates great talents.. what do you DO with it. what he did with Air Force sets him a peg higher iMO... ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Neither are great favourites of mine tbh. But I vote Ginger Baker, who has done more interesting stuff IMO. Also, if I don't vote for him he'll probably come round my house and beat the sh*t out of me. ------------- Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia.
