Younger folks try and understand, this gentleman was knocking it out of the ballbark back in Hendrix's day and still does TODAY! A true legend. Thanks Ian for ALL the lessons.
I've said this before on here and I'll say it again...this video was key to developing advanced drumming skills for me. I was stuck on single strokes until this video taught me paradiddles and drumrolls. It also taught me how to achieve incredible speeds without pounding the skins. I owe more than 80% of my skills to this video. Thanks to whoever posted it, and even more, thanks to Ian Paice for enabling me to advance to the next level.
Ian Paice is an absolute beast of a drummer. The first minute alone of Burn displays his insane speed, accuracy and taste. So cool that he makes these vids.
No amongst drummers he is very much appreciated. I would say the most underrated was Bill Bruford. Mention Bill to a lot of young drummers and they will say who but they will know who Ian Paice is guaranteed.
Very fair comment. I would agree. Bill Bruford, Aynsley Dunbar, and Barriemore Barlow are all in the "you've never heard of these guys?" category. BTW, along with the well known fave Ian Paice works Burn, You Fool No One, and Rat Bat Blue, I also like to play for my kids and their friends, 1972 Made In Japan Child in Time for the instrumental beginning at the Hammond through Marshall stacks prelude by Jon "The God of Hammond B3's" Lord to Ritchie Blackmore's arguably best solo of all time. Underneath it, I have used the term "Power Swing" to explain what Ian Paice did to lay down the rythmic pulse that is like a flowing river for that work. Glover and Paice are so in the pocket together, it is magical. IMO, that cut was one of the best live performances in rock history. That specific version is one of those rare performances that are repeated, but never quite equalled
My favorite drummer of all time. Got to see him 6 times in his heyday with DP. 71 thru 76. IMO the Greatest Rock Drummer ever. He did things in the 70's with 5 drums 4 cymbals and hats,that most drummers today can't do with their multi drums and cymbals monster sized kits. And he was a lefty. To those of you that have never heard his solo The Mule on Purples Made in Japan album,released in 1972,I highly recommend you give it a listen. The Buddy Rich influenced snare work,the triplets and an unbelievably fast left foot will leave you in awe.
Fun fact: He is actually right handed, but he's playing a leftie kit. He grew up on the countryside with no other drummers around so when he got a kit as a present from his parents, he sat them up like they looked on the album covers and accidently got them mirrored. Other than that, I agree with everything you said. One of my first and biggest influences as a drummer. I've actually met him once and he came across as a very kind and humble man. Down to earth with a lot of great stories to tell!
Richard Hubbard . You're absolutely right my friend! Discovered "Made in Japan" 23 years ago, then mooved to Portnoy, to finally return to the Master :)
He is definitely one of the best! My band was lucky enough to play a few shows with Deep Purple. Got to hang out with the guys and had a great convo with Ian for a couple of hours after one of our shows over a couple of beers. Class act and lots of wisdom!
Richard Hubbard I'm a left handed drummer. I play a right setup only the ride is on the left and i play the hats with my left hand. We are bazzar us lefty Drummer's but if we all drove a 2015 Chevy and all looked the same how boring would life be? It's a bad world in the most i think but the good we must injoy it while we're here for the short life we have.
Mr Paice is a truly GREAT drummer. I've heard him since 1970, I've seen him live many times. A humble but incredibly technically gifted drummer. As a basic drummer myself, he has been and always will be my favourite, preferred drummer of choice!!! 🥁🥁
Ian Paice is an amazing and important drummer. He can truly drive a band to new heights. He plays super cool grooves and brilliant fills. Very tasteful.
He's been playing pro for over 50 years with some equally talented musicians. Interviews with Ian Paice are always interesting. He's also teaching his skills at drum clinics. Unlike some of the bands from the same era I think of Deep Purple as musicians first and foremost.
I just watched his solo video clip playing " the mule" live in Copenhagen '72 !Astonishing! It got me SPEECHLESS! All those haters should watch the clip!!! BREATHTAKING!💜👍🏻👍🏼
Ian Paice, a true legend and one of my favorite drummers, his groove was always a blast to listen to, but for me, it's his snare work that always blew me away and still does, his single stroke rolls are amazing! Just listen to the work he does on Machinehead, I spent hours playing along to his tracks just to improve my own playing, while studying percussion in Jr. High and High school, sure, there's other great drummers out there, Bonham, Baker, Peart, Palmer, the list goes on, Ian belongs on that list of greats and he deserves the respect he's rightfully earned, Rock On Ian!
Back in the 80’s I had the privilege to drive Ian Paice and the bass player when they were in Hartford for a concert. They were promoting the Perfect Strangers album. What a great concert. On the return trip from the Hartford Civic Center to the Hartford airport, I complimented Mr Paice on he having some of the fastest hands I’ve ever seen 😊
I was fortunate to share a show with Ian in Boise Idaho in the 90s He's a real gentleman,class act. You go Ian🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗👍👍🗝️👍👍 He was still with Deep PURPLE 💜. HEY IAN IT'S HAMBONE from REFLEX 👀👍
I've always loved his style, and what he did for rock drumming. The way he applies his jazzy chops and swing feel to Deep Purple's heavyweight sound is the epitome of drummer cool. Since he didn't die young, or sell a trillion records, he still dosen't get his due. Get my drift?
When I think of, "one of the quickest and cleanest drummers of all time" that rolls off the snare onto the toms flawlessly. Ian ALWAYS comes to mind, I think Highway Star, Space Truckin' & Burn, has proved that throughout history.
Saw him Perfect Strangers Tour,Glasshouse,Melbourne,Australia. Amazing drum sound. Kick was like a canon. One of the first rock greats and inspired the likes of Virgil Donati.
They played MIlton Keynes on that tour and I did not know but happened to be in the area and made my friends sit and listen to the music whilst I listened to the drums. Lovely evening sat overlooking a lake and the sound carried very clearly.
The Man is Ian Paice. After my Ringo Run, and my Bonham Bash I discovered this Drummer. Technically perfect, even live. A deeper understanding of the musical technicality of drumming. Thank you Ian.
I appreciate watching this as Ian Paice is very near, if not THE top of best rock drummers ever; as an (amateur) ex-drummer this was obvious since very early on! The credit for his achievements should be much more...prominent and mainstream in the music world.
I've seen Ian perform many times in the 60's and 70's. He was always one of the drummers I found very interesting. I met him backstage years back at the modern drummer fest. He was very nice and when i spoke with him about his early gigs at the electric circus he smiled and said he was surprised anybody remembered those early Purple gigs. Nice to see him in this video, showing what is so important about rudiments. No matter what type of music you play, the more rudiments you know the better off you will be. And I only wish when I was younger I paid more attention to learning and studying all the rudiments.
As he increases the speed, all I can think is: piece of cake... no problem... some training needed... impressive... how the f... totally impossible... fucking ridiculous.
because you don't play drums... these are just basic few rudiments, that every drummer knows and it's fuckin simple to play it all, even at the same speed... it just comes out of your technique. Really good drummer btw but these hands are awful :(
asbefore mentioned. Ian has been my unofficial percussion instructor for many years. ...very kind of him answering ...those statements with actual video of rudiments..video. hope others also will benefit ..from this instruction by an impeccable genius thanx once more ian
So tired of the petty debates over who is/was the best drummer. Thank you Ian, that was a very solid instructional video. I've always loved your drumming, but as with many others, I had a favorite band and preferred the drummer in that band. I'm left handed, but taught myself how to play right handed using traditional grip. I don't think I've ever seen a left handed drummer use traditional grip like you. Great video, thank you.
Ian, you are the Buddy of rock. When I was young we had to attend the "university of Purple" if you wanted to earn your chops! I'm a much better player for it. Wish this kind of thing was around then. Cheers!
every rudiment is built on singles & doubles...Ian Paice is a legend in a band of legends. Who does David Gilmour call up for a side project w/ Paul Macca ?
This video is very dated but one thing that will never date is Ian Paice's drumming with Deep Purple...he really tore it up and he had the lot - speed, technique, feel... it still blows me away today when I hear Speed King or Fireball or Burn or...name your favourite.
Paice is doing this for like, 50 years now he still got awesome chops and a incredible speed, he can still play Burn today, and that's a good sign that he still got it, I really love Bonham and Peart and Ward as well, but Paice is a MONSTER!!
My favorite rock drummer, due in part, to DP being my favorite rock band, but also because he managed to accomplish all that he did w/o lessons; pretty amazing. Great to see him still cookin' and those one-hand rolls! Keep kickin' it, Ian.
When people talk about the great drummers, Bonham often gets way more reverence than Paice. Not that Bonham wasn't one of the rock greats, so I'm not in any way critical of the high esteem in which Bonham is held, but for me, it was Paice who was much more of a drumming inspiration, all the way back to seeing the then black & white video of Black Night in 1970- the single thing that really turned me on to drumming. Even in my advanced years, it's still Paice I most admire and try to emulate.
This one video made all the difference in taking me up to the next level in drumming. I encourage anyone who wants to learn how to play drums to learn from four guys...John Bonham, Ginger Baker, Ian Paice, and Buddy Rich. Everything I know stems from watching these guys play, and especially Ian Paice. I can now play just about everything at the level he shows in this video. Granted, this likely isn't even half of what he knows.
Thanks Ian 😊👍 you & Mick Tucker are my idol's , I've learned a lot from listening to both of you & Mick on the records 😊 , thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍
The great legend....we owe a lot to you !!!!🙇♂️ .....who are the 138 dislikes anyways 🧐 ? maybe they were or are far more brilliant ‘musicians’ which the world (or neighbourhood 🤓) failed to recognise or hear of and hence have and will fade into oblivion....apologies 😔
I'm a novice level drummer. If there's one thing I've learnt from watching all the greats it's that mastering the rudiments will help you play just about anything doesn't matter how complex.
You're right. It's the same in any leisure pursuit, sport etc. Get the basics right and build upon them; don't try and run before you can walk. If you follow his advice and practice on a regular basis you'll be ready to play his solo on The Mule. Listening to all sorts of music is helpful too. All the best to you.
Excellent advice and can not fault it nor the rudiments and before anyone thinks he is a pro I have seen pro drummers explain what a paradiddle is and play a different rhythm but this is spot on.
Wow... As a drummer, drum tech and drum restorer for the past 28 years, i'm disappointed and shocked at some of the incessant and ignorant comments about Paice's drumming, and the sheer idiocy that accompanies them.. Comparisons to Bonham and young drummers that are out there now have absolutely no relevancy in this spectrum or context and is totally subjective.. Yes, there are better drummers than Ian Paice, and there will always be better drummers than others..Regardless of that fact, that is what gives us the diversity, uniqueness, and versatility that we should all appreciate..Those who don't understand this haven't matured or developed as a drummer, or a musician for that matter.. Negativity will always be polluting cyberspace, as that is it's true nature, and there's nothing we can do to stop that.. What we can do, is be good to each other and respect one another, whether you agree or not.. Never mind the drumming world, because our actual society and world is what is in trouble right now, and all this pettiness is irrelevant and unimportant.. With that being said, Ian Paice is a fine drummer and musician, and even though i don't know him personally, seems like a well grounded and decent human being, something of which we ALL can learn from..
+Rhythmista Yea well said buddy,plus what also counts alot is the heart you put into what you play!!But yea man this world is so fucked up and people should be more respectful of one another!!
As a gigging drummer of old I can say I love the big open Bonham sound but he was never a technical drummer. For rudiments I would always listen to drummers like Ian Paice, best doubles without a doubt, and Carl Palmer pre Asia. There will not be many in the better than Ian Paice camp. I used to practice for years to Come and get it by Whitesnake as not as complicated and great feel but mainly because for a long time I could not work out what Ian Paice was playing within songs like Space Truckin'. I once saw Ian Paice at a clinic and he played a single stroke roll with one hand faster than I can play with two. A bit of showboating for the crowd but we all loved it but as well as the chops which Ian has in spades, Fireball anyone, I love his crisp grooves on songs like Woman in Tokyo.Aphenomenal drummer which all aspiring drummers should listen to. Often he plays fills which do not sound too complicated when you try them you realise the sticking does not work because it is more complex
That's because the difference between you, me, many others and these idiots is that we know what we are talking about and they have no clue. One of these idiots needs to go to Ian Paice and say, "hey, you're not very good" and he replies "well show me what you can do". Ian Paice then needs to video it and post it on RUclips for everyone to judge (if he could be arsed) ;-)
Ian Paice, i`ve seen you in munich, great great ...you threw your sticks and I was the one and most blissful drummer as I caught your stick (with your signature) your worshiper...rallemo
No one cares about fuck wits making ill informed comments this is Ian Paice loved by rockers and jazzers alike,hy? cause he is GREAT !!! thanks for posting .
Guys... Rudiments are the most fundamental things to develop your drumming skills. Now i will show you how to rudiments my way... The way where no one of you will be able to follow... Here we go this "da-da ma-ma"s... Ian Paice is definetely one of my all time greatest drummers... Thank you for making 1975 California Jam Sir Ian... Your buzzing snare on your drum solo were like sand whispher, and i able to see how you making your beast fills on "Burn"... Damn!!! Edit: 1974
Saw him with DP in 1987 at Alpine Valley. He did a drum solo after the 3rd song. Ian is a master. I believe that despite all the drama that has clouded DP MK2 line up, Ian was, despite being the youngest of that group, always respected by Blackmore, Glover, Lord and Gillan.
I just ran across the video, excellent, this is the era of drummers that damn really played, I don't know where these other so-called drummers that are putting him down come from? Hello if you're so damn good, get up and show, it, otherwise, sit back and keep practicing! Love the Band and the musician's, they will be remembered and cherished!
Deep Purple in the 1970s were a total blue collar band. A mate of mine is a drummer and I remember him practising from Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa drum notation. Listening to him practising this stuff inbetween songs at rehearsals (and totally drowning us out) showed how incredible he was. Old school with a modern twist works, guys!
Younger folks try and understand, this gentleman was knocking it out of the ballbark back in Hendrix's day and still does TODAY! A true legend. Thanks Ian for ALL the lessons.
GREAT POST PETE.....TELL THEM....

Definitely. Bonzo always mentioned along with Neil Peart. Ian paice always overlooked along with Blackmore. Shame really.
He’s better then Bonham in my opinion
@@johnnydiak4412 I like both equally. Give me Bonham's foot and Paice's hands.
One of the most admired drummers by fellow musicians. Also knows how to tune a drum!!!
My favorite drummer of all time. Got to see him 6 times in his heyday with DP. 71 thru 76. IMO the Greatest Rock Drummer ever.

A humble but incredibly technically gifted drummer.
As a basic drummer myself, he has been and always will be my favourite, preferred drummer of choice!!! 🥁🥁
😊
My favourite drummer 🥁🎶❤️
Some of the fastest and superbly trained hands ever seen behind drumset. JUst kills it.

One of the best drummers I ever heard at the LA Forum. Phenomenal solo.
Superb and super skilled drummer. Possibly the best ever.
The Man is a Living Legend. A Great Drummer. 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
Paice. Always been a master. One of my faves since the 70s
He was/is the reason DP swing, amazing drummer with an incredible technique.
My favorite rock drummer, along with the even more underrated Mitch Mitchell.
👍
Amen to this comment
100%
From the first seconds I like him - this is the legendary drummer of all times, all nations! My favorite drummer !!!
I just watched his solo video clip playing " the mule" live in Copenhagen '72 !Astonishing! It got me SPEECHLESS! All those haters should watch the clip!!! BREATHTAKING!💜👍🏻👍🏼
It's an honor to have you for teacher Mr. Paice....You're a legend of Rock!!! Thank you for sharing this video with US.👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ian Paice, a true legend and one of my favorite drummers, his groove was always a blast to listen to, but for me, it's his snare work that always blew me away and still does, his single stroke rolls are amazing!

He was still with Deep PURPLE 💜.
HEY IAN IT'S HAMBONE from REFLEX 👀👍
The guy is incredible even after all these years.
His "daddy, momma" explanation was spot on. God bless Ian Paice!
I've always loved his style, and what he did for rock drumming. The way he applies his jazzy chops and swing feel to Deep Purple's heavyweight sound is the epitome of drummer cool. Since he didn't die young, or sell a trillion records, he still dosen't get his due. Get my drift?
Still playing today at 75❤
When I think of, "one of the quickest and cleanest drummers of all time" that rolls off the snare onto the toms flawlessly. Ian ALWAYS comes to mind, I think Highway Star, Space Truckin' & Burn, has proved that throughout history.
Thank you very much Ian. You have always been my favorite drummer. I appreciate your drumlesson. Tobias, Sweden.
Saw him Perfect Strangers Tour,Glasshouse,Melbourne,Australia.
Amazing drum sound.
Kick was like a canon.
One of the first rock greats and inspired the likes of Virgil Donati.
They played MIlton Keynes on that tour and I did not know but happened to be in the area and made my friends sit and listen to the music whilst I listened to the drums. Lovely evening sat overlooking a lake and the sound carried very clearly.
Awesome!!! He was my very 1st favorite drummer! 👍🏼👍🏻💜❤💖
Everyone talking about comments slandering Paice but I can't find any of them.
Good.
Typical Internet
Gay
Great Guy, and an inspiration, even though I am a Guitarist.
Would love to shake his hand and say thanks for all the exciting music he was a part of!
The Man is Ian Paice. After my Ringo Run, and my Bonham Bash I discovered this Drummer. Technically perfect, even live. A deeper understanding of the musical technicality of drumming. Thank you Ian.

And I only wish when I was younger I paid more attention to learning and studying all the rudiments.
He speaks in such a mellow, relaxed way - but behind the drum kit he goes beserk!
Ian Paice, great drummer ever in my life. Respect.
Thank you Mr. Ian Paice! I enjoyed your demonstration and what you had to say about using the Paradiddle and Double Paradiddle. Good lesson!
He is a wonderful drummer!! I’m respecting him very much!!
As he increases the speed, all I can think is:
piece of cake... no problem... some training needed... impressive... how the f... totally impossible... fucking ridiculous.
LOL.. encouraging and discouraging at the same time. 😕
I think you mean: Paice of cake? ;)
not that difficult
because you don't play drums... these are just basic few rudiments, that every drummer knows and it's fuckin simple to play it all, even at the same speed... it just comes out of your technique. Really good drummer btw but these hands are awful :(
PURE POWER--PLAIN AND SIMPLE--'NUFF SAID... LOL
Fantastic drummer... Super sound... Ian's kit-sound is always fantastic

Way to go Ian, I have been studying your work for over 30 years, Great job!
This man is concidered one of the greatest of all time. He has come up with a technique that is comfortable for him. Everyone is different.
Top 5 best drummers of all time
Hard to say, (a LOT of good drummers out there) although one of the cleanest and quickest I've heard in my 50 Plus years.
Paice is one of the most technical players there is.
Ian was a absolute beast back then & still is!
Paice is doing this for like, 50 years now he still got awesome chops and a incredible speed, he can still play Burn today, and that's a good sign that he still got it, I really love Bonham and Peart and Ward as well, but Paice is a MONSTER!!
My favorite rock drummer, due in part, to DP being my favorite rock band, but also because he managed to accomplish all that he did w/o lessons; pretty amazing. Great to see him still cookin' and those one-hand rolls!
Keep kickin' it, Ian.
My favorite drummer 😍😍😍
When people talk about the great drummers, Bonham often gets way more reverence than Paice. Not that Bonham wasn't one of the rock greats, so I'm not in any way critical of the high esteem in which Bonham is held, but for me, it was Paice who was much more of a drumming inspiration, all the way back to seeing the then black & white video of Black Night in 1970- the single thing that really turned me on to drumming. Even in my advanced years, it's still Paice I most admire and try to emulate.
Ian Paice can say so much with a humble single stroke roll and double stroke roll.
I'm sorry but this is the best demonstration of paradiddles I've seen in a long time.
This one video made all the difference in taking me up to the next level in drumming. I encourage anyone who wants to learn how to play drums to learn from four guys...John Bonham, Ginger Baker, Ian Paice, and Buddy Rich. Everything I know stems from watching these guys play, and especially Ian Paice. I can now play just about everything at the level he shows in this video. Granted, this likely isn't even half of what he knows.
Best left-handed rock drummer...EVER
This guy is legend! I really believe guys like Ian Paice, Carl Palmer, are overshadowed by the drummers of today. These guys can still get it done.
The legend & The true gentelment! And very nice guy.
Thanks Ian 😊👍 you & Mick Tucker are my idol's , I've learned a lot from listening to both of you & Mick on the records 😊 , thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍
Great to see a great coming down to give ordinary people a free lesson
The great legend....we owe a lot to you !!!!🙇♂️
.....who are the 138 dislikes anyways 🧐 ?
maybe they were or are far more brilliant ‘musicians’ which the world (or neighbourhood 🤓) failed to recognise or hear of and hence have and will fade into oblivion....apologies 😔
My Dad named me after you Mr. Paice! Great video!
Best rock drummer - hands down - of all time
Ian your a legend love your drum work on the song space trucking
Fã Ian Paice Brasil🇧🇷🥁🥁🥁🥁
Ian Paice is one of the all time greats. He didnt seem to care which lineup Deep Purple had, he excelled with every one of them. Good job Ian.
Great!!!,one of the best,thanks for sharing this!
The Man
I'm a novice level drummer. If there's one thing I've learnt from watching all the greats it's that mastering the rudiments will help you play just about anything doesn't matter how complex.
You're right. It's the same in any leisure pursuit, sport etc. Get the basics right and build upon them; don't try and run before you can walk.

Excellent advice and can not fault it nor the rudiments and before anyone thinks he is a pro I have seen pro drummers explain what a paradiddle is and play a different rhythm but this is spot on.
I think, for a decade, God put his hand on Ian Paice's head. Paice has been and will be eternal.

Yes, there are better drummers than Ian Paice, and there will always be better drummers than others..Regardless of that fact, that is what gives us the diversity, uniqueness, and versatility that we should all appreciate..Those who don't understand this haven't matured or developed as a drummer, or a musician for that matter.. Negativity will always be polluting cyberspace, as that is it's true nature, and there's nothing we can do to stop that..
What we can do, is be good to each other and respect one another, whether you agree or not..
Never mind the drumming world, because our actual society and world is what is in trouble right now, and all this pettiness is irrelevant and unimportant..
With that being said, Ian Paice is a fine drummer and musician, and even though i don't know him personally, seems like a well grounded and decent human being, something of which we ALL can learn from..
+Rhythmista 100% !
+Rhythmista Yea well said buddy,plus what also counts alot is the heart you put into what you play!!But yea man this world is so fucked up and people should be more respectful of one another!!
As a gigging drummer of old I can say I love the big open Bonham sound but he was never a technical drummer. For rudiments I would always listen to drummers like Ian Paice, best doubles without a doubt, and Carl Palmer pre Asia. There will not be many in the better than Ian Paice camp. I used to practice for years to Come and get it by Whitesnake as not as complicated and great feel but mainly because for a long time I could not work out what Ian Paice was playing within songs like Space Truckin'. I once saw Ian Paice at a clinic and he played a single stroke roll with one hand faster than I can play with two. A bit of showboating for the crowd but we all loved it but as well as the chops which Ian has in spades, Fireball anyone, I love his crisp grooves on songs like Woman in Tokyo.Aphenomenal drummer which all aspiring drummers should listen to. Often he plays fills which do not sound too complicated when you try them you realise the sticking does not work because it is more complex
That's because the difference between you, me, many others and these idiots is that we know what we are talking about and they have no clue. One of these idiots needs to go to Ian Paice and say, "hey, you're not very good" and he replies "well show me what you can do". Ian Paice then needs to video it and post it on RUclips for everyone to judge (if he could be arsed) ;-)
Absolutely. 'When The Levee Breaks' says it all. :-)
Drum legend
Ian Paice, i`ve seen you in munich, great great ...you threw your sticks and I was the one and most blissful drummer as I caught your stick (with your signature) your worshiper...rallemo
No one cares about fuck wits making ill informed comments this is Ian Paice loved by rockers and jazzers alike,hy? cause he is GREAT !!! thanks for posting .
Guys... Rudiments are the most fundamental things to develop your drumming skills. Now i will show you how to rudiments my way... The way where no one of you will be able to follow... Here we go this "da-da ma-ma"s...
Ian Paice is definetely one of my all time greatest drummers... Thank you for making 1975 California Jam Sir Ian... Your buzzing snare on your drum solo were like sand whispher, and i able to see how you making your beast fills on "Burn"... Damn!!!
Edit: 1974
simple, excellent tutorial on the basic rudiments
Saw him with DP in 1987 at Alpine Valley. He did a drum solo after the 3rd song. Ian is a master. I believe that despite all the drama that has clouded DP MK2 line up, Ian was, despite being the youngest of that group, always respected by Blackmore, Glover, Lord and Gillan.
one of the fastest singles in the world, ladies and gentleman, IAN Paice
Very nice! I like this guy even more now!!
That snare is beautiful
Ian Paige wowed many fans over Deep Purple duration.
Ian Paice was always Deep Purple's ace in the hole ! One of the most distinctive drum sounds on record.
Great basic drumming information without a lot of distraction.
Great vid!!! Thanks, Ian!!!
I just ran across the video, excellent, this is the era of drummers that damn really played, I don't know where these other so-called drummers that are putting him down come from? Hello if you're so damn good, get up and show, it, otherwise, sit back and keep practicing! Love the Band and the musician's, they will be remembered and cherished!
Simply amazing. Ian Paice!!
Ian..........still the man!
Amazing drummer, some good helpful points made to us all who play drums.
my first album i got was made in japan i had never heard of deep purple or heard drums like it. been a fan since 76
Ian Paice on the drums!! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!
hmmm, lets see....where have i heard that before ?.........
Absolutely fantastic teaching.
Deep Purple in the 1970s were a total blue collar band. A mate of mine is a drummer and I remember him practising from Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa drum notation. Listening to him practising this stuff inbetween songs at rehearsals (and totally drowning us out) showed how incredible he was. Old school with a modern twist works, guys!
This man deserves props for simply putting up with prima donna’s like Gillan and Blackmore and Coverdale for all those years.
One of my favorite dummers
Can't wait to see him again at tons of rock in Oslo 2020
