IMHO the definitive part of Hendrix usually goes understated and his superior rhythm technique. And a big separation point for him and Dilla is that pretty much no one (maybe Ernie Isley) ever really could match up to that. However copyable, thoug Dilla drums are on par with it. I should say, a lot of folk do good imitation but few actually can really get it down to a tee. And on par with Hendrix, a lot of folk think its 'the drums' but a lot of it has to do with the hi-hats which most imitators ignore completely ala Hendrix's rhythm work.
