Bonham, Peart, Baker, Powell, Copeland, are really top class drummers, and there are more really great ones. But Ian Paice is a special. His speed, technique, dynamics, feeling, precision, combinactorics and improvisation are such, that they put him on a special level. He is a separate category - a category for himself.
Late reaction to this. Ian Paice was the link for me from rock to jazz. One of the few drummers that can make rock swing. I think within "rock" in the traditional sense he is simply the greatest.
@@oldtimer7635 I agree with Mike. He is well known but when they speak about greatest rock drummers it is always Bonham Baker Mitchell etc etc. Rarely You can hear someone mention Paicey. Holy trinity in rock drumming for me Paice, Bonham, Mitchell. Honorable mentions Bill Ward, Barriemore Barlow, Lee Keerslake,
Ian Paice has been my favorite drummer ever since I first discovered Deep Purple in the early 70s... A true "Living Legend!" Even now at his advanced age, he is still a major force as a drummer! I've had the privilege of meeting Ian twice, and he's absolutely one of the nicest people I've ever met too!!!
I am not a drummer, but I love rock music and am constantly fascinated by the drummers in my favourite bands. I've always thought that this was the most phenomenal solo. Even with my total lack of knowledge about the techniques I could see the skill and talent Ian displays here. What really impressed me, as a no nothing, was that he achieved that sound from a very basic kit. I love the likes of Neil Peart, et all, with their 70 piece kits, but with not much more than a 5 piece kit he does this. Mind blown!!
Although Bonham is probably my fave drummer overall, I find his drum solo's were overlong and tedious. Ian Paice on the other hand had more concise, inventive and interesting solo's (like the above example).
Agree, Ian is technically a superior drummer to Bonzo ... I think the difference is that what Ian did is way above most casual listeners ability to comprehend - Bonzo was in a zone where technically he was more easily understood by the lay person. Ian was a far better Jazz Drummer and therefore far more high-brow!
The Velo In The Vale you said it perfectly, I always say the better you get the smaller your audience gets, jazz and fusion drummers don’t get the recognition that rock drummers get. Due to the fact that people can’t comprehend what they’ve doing and just move on.
Garey thank you, Paicey was the best technician, just goes to show as my old drum teacher used to say ...LEARN YOU RUDEMENTS!!! met Paicey once at a drum clinic in Birkenhead England what a gentleman they say never meet your heroes but not in his case.
My fav drummer of all time, not even that close. Power, speed, feel, finesse, technicality, and above all else the most musically-correct rock drummer of all time - and in my mind no question at all that this guy could swing the hell out of a big band.
Great reaction to one of my favorite drummers. Ian Paice is the perfect combination of power and finesse to me. His work with Deep Purple is iconic! Thanks for giving him his due. 👏
I have seen DP during their heyday of the early 70s and they were all insanely talented. They were the real “Cream” of the British rock scene. Every individual.
DP the first band i saw live, in Coventry 71/72 , and many excellent bands followed. my best mates fav band, and a bunch of super talented musicians, as you say individual and there in lies the problem. Jon Lord said it on one of his last interviews " i always tried to say to Richie to play more like a band." Ian Paice always struck me as an awesome talent and the glue . i wish he had moved in to the contemporary jazz world and really stretched himself. Maybe he did and i missed it.
@@geofft5314 I think I was at one of those concerts. Saw them twice in Coventry in the early '70s. Best drum soloist, most exciting live band I have ever seen (and I've seen a few other excellent ones!). "Made in Japan" - the most awesome live album, and they were seriously debating about whether to bother releasing it! 👍
Yep, you caught it! Ian has always said that Buddy Rich was the drummer that he most tried to emulate. There’s a video of Ian doing a solo at 70 something years old, and he hasn’t lost a thing!
Thank you Ian Paice for the decades of greatness in your playing and humbleness in your spirit. I have always loved the way the band jumps back in at the end of his solo on the Mule. It is very creative and fun. Love Made In Japan. Paice just kicks ass on every bit of the album. Most people love the hard hitting like Bonham and Cozy Powell which should have been Bonham's replacement in Zeppelin. But Paice has a lighter touch and it excelled his speed.
You're right Gary...real drumming artistry can only be gained through good tuition and serious attitude. Ian Paice the intelligent drummer...and you know what ...?... nowadays he can still play like that.
Still the best drummer I ever see live, being a Deep Purple fan I also got to see Cozy Powell when he was with Rainbow, Ian for me, is still the best drummer around
And he is a very sweet gentleman. He talks about Gene Krupa and the guy who he says is from another planet Buddy Rich and how much they influenced his playing. Yoyoka Soma 11 year old Japanese drummer just did a blistering cover of Burn as did Sina youtube legend He invited both of them to get together for a virtual percussion collaborative jam. Cant wait to see that!
I started drumming in 64 at age 10. My early influences were Ringo and Dave Clark. Then when I discovered The Who,Hendrix and Cream in the late 60's,they became my influences along with Don Brewer and Bonzo. Then Deep Purple In Rock came out in 1970. I immediately began trying to learn any and everything Ian Paice was doing on that great album. He became my main influence and to this day is still my favorite drummer of all time. I've been fortunate enough to see him 6 times when he was in his prime,71 thru 76,in 3 different lineups of Deep Purple. IMHO he is The Greatest Rock Drummer of all time!
RoadKingRyder Snap .... Saw him with Paice Ashton Lord, Purple in 72, with Whitesnake. With various symphony orchestras. With the Buddy Rich Big Band. He’s the drummer I always want to go back and listen to again and again. Was hooked as a school boy after hearing the amazing drum breaks on Black Night, one cold morning, on the radio. Life changed 😀
Check out Zach Hill's work in Hella. I'm just checking out Ian now, and it seems Zach's playing is a further extension of what Ian was doing back then. The first two Hella albums are amazing. But also check out some live videos. You won't regret it
Dear Road King, Thanks so much for sharing your story. How lucky you were to discover your passion at 10. I have no musical talent, but deep appreciation for musicians ... especially percussionists. Drum on!!!!!
I am not a drummer but I've been around music long enough to recognize a true percussionist. No rock drummer does as complex drumming with such a relatively minimalist kit as Paice. Plus be does NOT have a flamboyant style. No flailing around drama-for-drama's-sake. He is and always has been a consummate professional like his band mate, John Lord. Plus he is a super nice and approachable person to his fans. I was very sad when we lost Jon Lord a few years back. Heartbroken when we lost Dio. I can guarantee you when the world loses Ian I will be equally heartbroken. He is just one of the best.
Karl Reinke great post. Not a musician here as well, and have always been a big fan of Ian's and Jon Lord. Deep Purple sometimes doesn't get the props it should. They were awesome.
Agree. Deep Purple doesn't get the press of Zeppelin but I enjoy their raw style better. Ian one of the few rock drummers that could hang with Rich, Bellson, Shaughnessy, etc. Great technique
Ian is a machine!!!! It is my personal belief that the reason why he is the most “underrated” drummer of all time is because of the absolute jealousy of every other drummer in rock ‘n roll history!!! What he did with ease, others could only dream of being able to do !!!!! Thank you for doing this video!!!
Judging by the “small print” on top of this video this was recorded live in Denmark in the same year DP did Made in Japan. I have never seen this version of The Mule (live) drum solo...somehow it comes across as a tad more aggressive. The Royal Albert Hall solo (incorporated into the third movement) is like a condensed version of this. Ian Paice was and always will be the best...from NOTTM. As am I!
Chris Manzi The great rock engineer/producer Martin Birch said “ Deep Purple were the best at what they did” The fact that they had to wait until 2017 to be inducted into the RR hall of fame says it all. Purple are too musical for most people’s taste. Similar to what was said about Mozart in his lifetime .... “ too many notes” .... genius ignored. Most people don’t even perceive what Purple do .... it goes over their heads. Surely it’s the only explanation for why such a brilliant amazing band is considered .... a metal band 🤡 who’s greatest achievement was Smoke on the water. Would make you weep. They split up in 1973. The year they outsold everyone on the planet 🌍. They lost their singer and bassist (songwriting team) but still managed to put out a chart smashing album a year later ... Burn. How many great bands did they spawn? I rest my case.
There are many great drummers, but Ian Paice is really the god of drums and as here shown one of the early double kickers (there was a few already in the fifties). so many great hardrock/metal-drummers looked at paicie in their beginning, to his precision, tecnique and force.
Ian Paice was always my man. I always thought he was the most exciting and fastest player of the rock drummer of the 70’s and Deep Purple was the most consistent rock band of that time, way rockier and speedier than Zeppelin. The live albums Live in Europe and Live in Japan are monuments. Deep Purple are the only band I thought were live better sounding than in the studio and I always preferred their live versions.
Ian Paice, one of the greats! I first was inspired by him in the early 80's and my appreciation for him has stayed. I love his playing and he genuinely seems like a really cool dude.
It's so great to see your reaction to Ian's playing! He is God to all left-handed drummers. Although I don't believe in the idea of a "greatest drummer", I do believe Ian is at the very top of truly phenomenal players. He shines not only as a soloist but also adds so much to every song deep purple made. One area I think he outshines all others is in his absolutely flawless, lightning-fast single stroke roles, like the ones he does in Strange Kind of Woman on Made in Japan. Thanks again!
A humble dude and he was always improving. Plus he is the only drummer for Deep Purple through all their changes. Deep Purple was always my fav over other groups in the 70s and Deep Purple was always better live. Funny story-I was always into the drums and one day I saw The Gene Krupa Story on TV late at night and I was blown away and at that time Carl Palmer, Ginger Baker, Bonham, Copeland, Peart, and others that were my favs I thought to myself that NOW that I know about Krupa I can attempt to be better than the Rock guys. lol. After doing some research (back then there was no internet or google lol) I found out they all knew the jazz drummers, and especially Ian Paice. Child In Time is the greatest song of all time IMHO. Ian and Ritchie on guitar were definitely innovators. Thanks for the tribute to Ian. He has a youtube channel and it is excellent!
Paicey has said many times in interviews about his playing style: " It´s basically all just rudiments and lots of paradiddles,- I just kind of mix them up in a big pile and have fun..."
Nice review, and appreciate your enthusiasm as well as expertise. What I always loved about Ian Paice is with Deep Purple, he would constantly change up through the song, even several times in a verse. Yet, it always sounded right. Check out "Made in Japan" as a reference. From hard (Cobham) to soft, and brilliantly classic (Rich/Krupa/Williams). Ian Paice comes with quite a complete bag of tricks. There are few if not none, like him in this genre. A monster!
Don’t no why I keep watching these videos. I’m glad I put my drums away forever a couple of yrs ago after 40 yrs of playing. What’s the point most people are never gonna get anywhere near these fellas. From a different planet!!
Thanks for covering Mr. Paice. I've seen him play several times with D. P. but particularly I remember in the early 2000's, Deep Purple in Toronto, and ELP opened . Carl Palmer had just blown us away with his drum solo. Purple comes on and we knew there was going to be an Ian Paice spectacular. You could feel it in the air. He was playing his white Yamaha kit, with white lights shining up, and cymbals flashing. He was in a glowing cloud. I'll never forget that show.
For any drummer´s information and inspiration: I´m a 55 yrs old metal GUITARIST!, not a drummer, was introduced to DP in 1976 at the tender age of twelve and have had Paicey as my main influence for rhythmic punctuation in my chugga-chugga riffing ever since,- which means I often surprise other musicians when riffing as I can vary and subdivide my picking hand patterns ad naesuem... my personal favourite for that would be rolling along at fast eights or mid tempo sixteenths in between my moving chording breaking the rolling freight train up with lots of standard triplets intermixed with quarter note triplet, quarts, fives etc. variations for long extended series at a time,- if not going all out Indian Konnakol on the lot,- all of it as a result of having Ian Paice as my main influence for rhythm guitar playing since 1976,- and having great fun all along the way! Ian is and has always been a monster drummer! Others beside him,- no one above him!
absolutely love Paice's playing...he's always been "the don" in my book. his performance on "burn", stands head and shoulders above anything anybody else was doing at the time. in fact, i think his playing on the title track may be one of the best drum performances on a rock song ever. love your enthusiasm and your analysis!
Burn is one of my favorite albums, though In Rock and Fireball are also two of my favorites. He (and Buddy Rich) have been an influence since the early 70's for me, and I hope to meet him one day. Would love just to chat with the man. I've always loved his chops on a drumkit. He's from another planet.
I'm blown away too - by your enthusiastic reaction, Mr Williams! Great lesson. I grew up listening to Ian Paice. Seeing this just opnened a new dimension for me.
Everybody talk about Bonham but Ian Piece is not only a super Rock drummer but also a nice guy and a holding power in Deep Purple. Comment his drumming in Burn as example.
I'm 59, and have seen, and heard, a lot of good/great drummers, but, when I heard Ian doing 'The Muel', on Deep Purple's double live album, 'Made in Japan', I was also, blown away! He's been my favourite, ever since!
There is no "best rock drummer ever", but Paice is as good as anybody ever was. Seriously how can one say than Paice is better than,say, Bonham, or vice versa? And how would you measure their respective ability, other than personal preference? Both are drumming prodigies, all time greats. What is astonishing is that they were around at the same time.
@@xIBEASTYFUNK Not really, no. A solo is not the only thing that makes a great drummer. In fact, I'd say it's the one of the least important things. A good solo is like having frothy milk on your coffee. It's nice but what matters is whether you have great coffee. In case of a rock drummer it is how he interacts with the band, what he brings the each and every song, and Bonham is every bit as wonderful as Paice in that regard. Honestly, you fan boys, you just can't like one guy without declaring him the bestest ever ever ever. Sheesh.
Ian was my “drum god”. He mentions Buddy Rich as an influence. When I first heard “Apples” from Buddy Rich I thought of this solo. According to Ian he received his first drum lesson from his piano player father who taught him the “mama dada” roll.
Love Ian Paice !!! Grew up listening to him starting with Speed King, The Mule, Fireball, Space Trucking, and on and on. My brother brought home a $ 100 drum set from Sears, and I would spend hours trying to learn all his parts correctly. It's amazing what you can do on a Saturday morning when Mom and Dad go food shopping !!
Great vid. I’ve been listening to that drum solo ever since I bought Made in Japan, the original vinyl. Amazing skills. The other band members weren’t too shabby either.
Deep Purple in Rock came out when I was about 13. My mate bought the album then and played it to me. I had never heard anything like it. And, I could not comprehend what the guy on the drums was doing, it sounded so creative and in tune with what the band was playing and at times he created the atmosphere of a track all on his own. So very good and, as demonstrated on later songs such as No One Came, so very subtle. I have ever since held Ian as my favourite drummer.
Paice & company were one of the first bands I remember hearing, at 8-10 y/o, that inspired me to pick up drumsticks @ 12. LOVED his rudimental base! Unfortunately, was never able to achieve 1/5 of success that DP did but am STILL in love w/their discography, especially Burn, Highway Star, Fireball, among others, & of course, Smoke On The Water!
I think Purple found Mr Paice to be a very reliable drummer. Always giving them what they needed. This piece gave Ian a chance to do his thing, whilst the band had a breather! Keep Reacting!

When I first heard Ian Paice back in the mid 70's I was hooked, and still play Drums today.
Bonham, Peart, Baker, Powell, Copeland, are really top class drummers, and there are more really great ones. But Ian Paice is a special. His speed, technique, dynamics, feeling, precision, combinactorics and improvisation are such, that they put him on a special level. He is a separate category - a category for himself.
Agree...100%!!!
Right on!
One of the greatest drummers to ever grace the planet..
Late reaction to this. Ian Paice was the link for me from rock to jazz. One of the few drummers that can make rock swing. I think within "rock" in the traditional sense he is simply the greatest.
Ian Paice is the most underrated drummer in Rock & Roll. An absolute force of nature. Love your videos, by the way!!!
"Underrated" Perhaps if you live under a rock.....
@@oldtimer7635 I agree with Mike. He is well known but when they speak about greatest rock drummers it is always Bonham Baker Mitchell etc etc. Rarely You can hear someone mention Paicey.

Ian is literally the reason why i became a drummer...After i heard Child in time i was hooked!
Ian is amazing. I have for 49 years wondered why Bonzo gets all of this glory over Ian. I think Ian is just so much better especially as a soloist
Bonzo was a great drummer but a lot has to do with Zeppelin. But Paice is really the better drummer.

Paicey is such a good drummer and yes he is a great fan of Buddy Rich!
Ian's speed is outta this world,,,his ease of playing is amazing 2 c
Saw Purple in '17, Paicey sounds as brilliant as in the 70s. Unbelievable talent, the absolute best for me.

He still does gigs.
Ian is and has been my favorite from the day I heard fireball. Technically awesome
I always thought Ian had that big band sound in his solo. Glad to hear a teacher confirm it. Deep Purple played with a symphony also
Saw Ian do drum rolls with one hand too. His rudiments and snare work is just phenomenal. One of the greatest.
I love seeing people excited about their craft

@Chris Manzi I tend to agree.
@Chris Manzi you cant play ThE guitar for sure! He IS miles behind!
I haven't seen snare control like this since Buddy Rich!
I just love the way you are genuinely amazed by what you see. You're a great guy!
Thanks for the kind words!
Ian Paice is a monster drummer. He is definitely in the top 10 with some of the greats in both Jazz and Rock.
As a drummer, I’m mostly oriented to the guitar. Never seen an Ian Pace solo, but now my respect for him just skyrocketed!! He was great!!!!
He is still a great player. Still going strong in Deep Purple.
He’s still among the best
Btw it’s Paice.
He is great !!!
IS
I met Paicey at a music store in Ottawa Ontario, cool guy and one hell of a drum machine.
Not only is Ian an awesome soloist, he compose so many great drum parts for Deep Purple
This was an OUTSTANDING solo I'm so glad i got to see it...one of the best Ive ever seen bro
I saw them on the Burn tour in Seattle. Ian Pace is my favorite rock soloist!
The sole reason i play drums to this day. I started in 1977 to the sound of Paice, Powell and Bonham of course ;-)
The holy trinity.
Clive Bunker too.
m.ruclips.net/video/qu8HiZepRWo/видео.html
I was born in 77, and Paice, and Powell are why I play drums too
I'm not a drummer ,but why i like to see this kid playing drums ? ruclips.net/video/uhzX9QbH3js/видео.html
GLORIOUS!!!
I really enjoyed this video--both Ian Paice's Superlative Drumming, and your Fun and Instructive Reaction...
Thank you!
I'm 61 at 16 in 1976, I saw Deep Purple in St. Louis Keil Auditorium 6th row center. Definitely a influence of mine.
There are many great drummers, but Ian Paice is really the god of drums and as here shown one of the early double kickers (there was a few already in the fifties). so many great hardrock/metal-drummers looked at paicie in their beginning, to his precision, tecnique and force.
Ian Paice was always my man. I always thought he was the most exciting and fastest player of the rock drummer of the 70’s and Deep Purple was the most consistent rock band of that time, way rockier and speedier than Zeppelin. The live albums Live in Europe and Live in Japan are monuments. Deep Purple are the only band I thought were live better sounding than in the studio and I always preferred their live versions.
A lot of Buddy Rich in that man's approach but with matched grip! Blistering technique.
Paicey is a nickname.
awesome and awesome vids too, warms the heart.
Ian Paice, one of the greats! I first was inspired by him in the early 80's and my appreciation for him has stayed. I love his playing and he genuinely seems like a really cool dude.
Lol! Yeah I love Ian. His solo on You Fool No One is one of the reasons I became a drummer. Great reaction.
My first time seeing an Ian Paice solo...LOVED IT!!!...Thanks Teach:)
It's so great to see your reaction to Ian's playing! He is God to all left-handed drummers. Although I don't believe in the idea of a "greatest drummer", I do believe Ian is at the very top of truly phenomenal players. He shines not only as a soloist but also adds so much to every song deep purple made. One area I think he outshines all others is in his absolutely flawless, lightning-fast single stroke roles, like the ones he does in Strange Kind of Woman on Made in Japan. Thanks again!
A humble dude and he was always improving. Plus he is the only drummer for Deep Purple through all their changes. Deep Purple was always my fav over other groups in the 70s and Deep Purple was always better live. Funny story-I was always into the drums and one day I saw The Gene Krupa Story on TV late at night and I was blown away and at that time Carl Palmer, Ginger Baker, Bonham, Copeland, Peart, and others that were my favs I thought to myself that NOW that I know about Krupa I can attempt to be better than the Rock guys. lol. After doing some research (back then there was no internet or google lol) I found out they all knew the jazz drummers, and especially Ian Paice. Child In Time is the greatest song of all time IMHO. Ian and Ritchie on guitar were definitely innovators. Thanks for the tribute to Ian. He has a youtube channel and it is excellent!
Truly awesome...Rock on Paicey
One of GREATS IN DRUMS.
My favorite drummer, since '72-ish.
Paicey has said many times in interviews about his playing style: " It´s basically all just rudiments and lots of paradiddles,- I just kind of mix them up in a big pile and have fun..."
Nice review, and appreciate your enthusiasm as well as expertise. What I always loved about Ian Paice is with Deep Purple, he would constantly change up through the song, even several times in a verse. Yet, it always sounded right. Check out "Made in Japan" as a reference. From hard (Cobham) to soft, and brilliantly classic (Rich/Krupa/Williams). Ian Paice comes with quite a complete bag of tricks. There are few if not none, like him in this genre. A monster!
Cool, thanks!
Don’t no why I keep watching these videos. I’m glad I put my drums away forever a couple of yrs ago after 40 yrs of playing. What’s the point most people are never gonna get anywhere near these fellas. From a different planet!!
Thanks for covering Mr. Paice. I've seen him play several times with D. P. but particularly I remember in the early 2000's, Deep Purple in Toronto, and ELP opened . Carl Palmer had just blown us away with his drum solo. Purple comes on and we knew there was going to be an Ian Paice spectacular. You could feel it in the air. He was playing his white Yamaha kit, with white lights shining up, and cymbals flashing. He was in a glowing cloud. I'll never forget that show.
For any drummer´s information and inspiration: I´m a 55 yrs old metal GUITARIST!, not a drummer, was introduced to DP in 1976 at the tender age of twelve and have had Paicey as my main influence for rhythmic punctuation in my chugga-chugga riffing ever since,- which means I often surprise other musicians when riffing as I can vary and subdivide my picking hand patterns ad naesuem... my personal favourite for that would be rolling along at fast eights or mid tempo sixteenths in between my moving chording breaking the rolling freight train up with lots of standard triplets intermixed with quarter note triplet, quarts, fives etc. variations for long extended series at a time,- if not going all out Indian Konnakol on the lot,- all of it as a result of having Ian Paice as my main influence for rhythm guitar playing since 1976,- and having great fun all along the way!
Ian is and has always been a monster drummer!
Others beside him,- no one above him!
I used to play this late 70’s to demonstrate Yamaha NS1000’s, amazingly well recorded and awesome playing 🥁🥁
Lessons yes...but God gave him that talent....amazingly underrated...Thanks...Great job
absolutely love Paice's playing...he's always been "the don" in my book. his performance on "burn", stands head and shoulders above anything anybody else was doing at the time. in fact, i think his playing on the title track may be one of the best drum performances on a rock song ever. love your enthusiasm and your analysis!
Burn is one of my favorite albums, though In Rock and Fireball are also two of my favorites. He (and Buddy Rich) have been an influence since the early 70's for me, and I hope to meet him one day. Would love just to chat with the man. I've always loved his chops on a drumkit. He's from another planet.
Saw Ian Paice do a Paradiddle swing beat, and was always blown away. He is Jazz influenced, like Ginger.
I'm blown away too - by your enthusiastic reaction, Mr Williams! Great lesson. I grew up listening to Ian Paice. Seeing this just opnened a new dimension for me.
Everybody talk about Bonham but Ian Piece is not only a super Rock drummer but also a nice guy and a holding power in Deep Purple. Comment his drumming in Burn as example.
great review. Ian has always been one of my favorites
I'm 59, and have seen, and heard, a lot of good/great drummers, but, when I heard Ian doing 'The Muel', on Deep Purple's double live album, 'Made in Japan', I was also, blown away! He's been my favourite, ever since!
Paice is the best rock ever had by a comfortable margin
There is no "best rock drummer ever", but Paice is as good as anybody ever was. Seriously how can one say than Paice is better than,say, Bonham, or vice versa? And how would you measure their respective ability, other than personal preference? Both are drumming prodigies, all time greats. What is astonishing is that they were around at the same time.
Spot on
I have my money on Barrie Barlow from Jethro Tull
@@tonyb9735 compare this solo to Bonham's; simple
@@xIBEASTYFUNK Not really, no. A solo is not the only thing that makes a great drummer. In fact, I'd say it's the one of the least important things.
A good solo is like having frothy milk on your coffee. It's nice but what matters is whether you have great coffee.
In case of a rock drummer it is how he interacts with the band, what he brings the each and every song, and Bonham is every bit as wonderful as Paice in that regard.
Honestly, you fan boys, you just can't like one guy without declaring him the bestest ever ever ever. Sheesh.
How could you as a drummer not have known about ian paice. You redeem yourself by putting him at the top of your list. Paice was a genious.
No, he was and still is a *genius*
Raw footage from the greatest raw live album ever recorded. Made in Japan.
Ian paice el mejor del mundo sin dudas ❤🎉
Ian was my “drum god”. He mentions Buddy Rich as an influence. When I first heard “Apples” from Buddy Rich I thought of this solo. According to Ian he received his first drum lesson from his piano player father who taught him the “mama dada” roll.
Good reaction, young and kindly squire!
I believe he’s got a lot of drumming talent
Love Ian Paice !!! Grew up listening to him starting with Speed King, The Mule, Fireball, Space Trucking, and on and on. My brother brought home a $ 100 drum set from Sears, and I would spend hours trying to learn all his parts correctly. It's amazing what you can do on a Saturday morning when Mom and Dad go food shopping !!
Great when you say "yeeesss"
I couldn’t wait for any album with Ian Pace. A brilliant drummer so creative and was ahead of his time.
“Dang!” Frickin amazing!” Great vid! Thank you. My sediments as well....
Truly one of the best and tasty makes sense as a drummer so fast and hood him and Barlow
I have been listening to Ian since 1968. Had no idea he was this good. Thanks!
Great vid.
I’ve been listening to that drum solo ever since I bought Made in Japan, the original vinyl.
Amazing skills. The other band members weren’t too shabby either.
Great reaction video. Ian paice is one of my favourite drummers of all time.
Ian Paice is a drummer that has flown under the radar for years and years. His facility and skill is special. Thank you Garey
Deep Purple in Rock came out when I was about 13. My mate bought the album then and played it to me. I had never heard anything like it. And, I could not comprehend what the guy on the drums was doing, it sounded so creative and in tune with what the band was playing and at times he created the atmosphere of a track all on his own. So very good and, as demonstrated on later songs such as No One Came, so very subtle. I have ever since held Ian as my favourite drummer.
My favorite drummer also an amazing musician! , and still to this very day
For you ruclips.net/video/uhzX9QbH3js/видео.html
i love your reactions Garey. I can see on your face what I feel when I listen to an awesome musician. Great videos!
Blessed to have been able to see Ian with Deep Purple live twice back in the old days. Late 60s. Amazing.
Paice & company were one of the first bands I remember hearing, at 8-10 y/o, that inspired me to pick up drumsticks @ 12. LOVED his rudimental base! Unfortunately, was never able to achieve 1/5 of success that DP did but am STILL in love w/their discography, especially Burn, Highway Star, Fireball, among others, & of course, Smoke On The Water!
I think Purple found Mr Paice to be a very reliable drummer. Always giving them what they needed. This piece gave Ian a chance to do his thing, whilst the band had a breather! Keep Reacting!
It was an absolute joy watching your reaction to "The Chief".
Thank you.
Thank you too!
Best rock drummers come from jazz, Ian Paice learned his craft with his dad's jazz band
Great relaxing reviewer
Your enthusiasm and your knowledge sparkles. Paice is one heck of a solid drummer.
Thank you sir. Subscribed and looking forward to many pleasant hours on your channel.
it's amazing you never reacted to "Michael shrieve live at Woodstock drum solo " , such a classic !
