Deep Purple - The Mule ([Best Drumsolo Ever!]Live in Copenhagen 1972) HD 

When people talk about the greatest drummers of all time the names Neil Peart and Bonzo immediately come up and deservedly so. The watch and listen to The Drumming of Ian Paice and immediately they have to rethink it

Look at the size of his drum kit. Ian Paice gets more sound out of that kit than other drummers get out of those monster kits ! That is why when I talk to others about the best rock drummers ever I always say Paice is # 1.

I'll just come out and say it: Paice was better than Bonham.

A truly amazing drum solo from the maestro Ian Paice .... aged 23! .... yup, let that sink in, he's 23 years old at the time of this recording!!! :o

Ian Paice is one of THE best of the 1970's rock drummers for sure! (at least one of my most favorite, along with Carl Palmer, Keith Moon, Jon Bonham, Pierre van der Linden, Neil Peart, Barriemore Barlow, Bill Broford, Terry Bozzio, and everyone else I forgot to mention! 😅 ) Ian's solo here sounds a lot like Carl Palmer's solos, I'll assume they might have influenced/inspired each other and/or had the same core idols/influences like Buddy Rich etc.? 👌💖👍

Probably the best pure rock drum solo of all time. I know Bonham gets all the accolades but Paice is the best drummer of that era.

Ian Paice is one of the best drummer. This solo is unbelievable. Thanks for the music DEEP PURPLE

I'm not a drummer, but sometimes I'll just focus on Paice's drumming when listening to Purple; it's so creative and spot on. And this solo! Well ....

It's just so evil......I gotta get outta here........lol

Great Ian Anderson Paice🎼🎶🎼🎶😎👊

Les styles de Bonzo et de Ian Paice ne sont pas comparables. Ils partagent la première place sur le podium. Il faut apprécier les deux.

So fast on the snare. So fast on the bass. So fast on the kit. Yet so musical. Ian is my favorite drummer and together with the other 4 made history as possibly the greatest hard rock band of the genre.

IAN PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAICE! The very BEST DRUMMER EVER!!!!!!!!!

Ian is perhaps one of the most underrated drummers of his time, and still is going strong with Deep Purple with nearly 60years to his credit, Rock On Paice..

Ian Paice the only one who never left Deep Purple since he joined the Band

Is Paice doing endless one-handed drum rolls throughout this? Un-friggin'-believable!

Ian Paice comes from another planet

I meet him nice guy ☺ made in Japan tour 1972- 1973 his best years as an drummer☺ Deep Purple rocks☺

The best hard rock drummer

I always said Ian Paice is an elite drummer, I believe he proved it with this jam, way to Ian speed with great sounds a winning combination.
