30 Richest Drummers

[Joachim Kettner]

Oh I knew that. That's why I wrote "Although no drummer". I just wanted to use this story as an example that he received royalties because he was a member of "The Experience".

In his book Are You Experienced? (co-authored with Carol Appleby) he spoke openly about his disappointment in his being cut off from the profits of the continued sale of the Hendrix recordings. He was forced to sign away his royalties in 1974 and later had to sell the bass guitar he used during that time. Redding had received $100,000 (equivalent to about $471,255 in today's funds[7]) as a one-off payment after he had been told that there would be no more releases of Jimi Hendrix Experience material. (This was before the advent of CDs and DVDs.) Right up until his death, Redding had been planning legal action against the Hendrix estate for payment estimated at £3.26 million for his part in Hendrix's recording and for ongoing royalties
