Young people -and learners: Ian Paice, because he’s a modest person, will only tell you about grace notes and how good Buddy Rich was -which is true-, but I can tell you that no rock drummer has ever swung like him -keeping that exact time too: no one, believe me.
@@robertoricci3393 All great drummers indeed; and I admire them too. But, none of them has Ian's swing. You should be able to hear it, aren't you? If you're not, listen more carefully, and practise more -if you are a drummer.
Naturally everyone is talking about his impeccable groove however, for me personally what is even more impressive on top of that, is that the drums are not even miked (he isn't using in-ear monitors or headphones either) and that is objective proof that he has unparalleled control over his sticking and dynamics as well. He doesn't drown the room with his drums. Not even a little bit. What a superb execution. What graceful drumming.
Ian Paice's feel! The engine, the soul of Deep Purple. I'm a guitar player and I was always captured by Blackmore's playing but it's Paice's grooves that make it all work.
You know, its always about the trade mark of colaiuta, porcaro, peart, Bonham, copeland, etc, etc...love them too, but for me is all about Cobham, Bruford and Paice...and this man seems a very humble and a down to earth genius what makes him twice great..
Many thanks for sharing Ian. My late father, a semi pro drummer used to rave about Buddy Rich and when I was growing up listening to Deep Purple and go on about the members of the band (MKII at the time) he had many fond words about you. It's interesting that you mention those grace notes as certainly they help add not only timing but subtle emotion moving away as you say from the square not to mention I think it adds to a certain fluidity. Once again it's great to see you play.
Paicey is an absolute gem and we're so lucky he's still at it. I'm a guitar player but I can listen to him talk about music and his approach to it for hours. Truly one of the all time greats.
Mr. Paice. With respect. The word "ego" is something I would never associate with you. I've always respected your humility and just general work ethic.
when I started playing drums, I discovered deep purple, I was fascinated with his way of playing, the first two years I tried to be a copy of his way of playing, but I discovered that there is nothing like having your own style and although to this day you are my greatest influence, currently I can say that I already have my own style, thank you very much for being a great example and inspiration Mr. Ian Paice
So wonderful to see you, Ian!! You’re such an amazing drummer and wonderful person!! I wish I had at least 20% of your talent - I’d die a happy drummer.
I doubt of Ian will read this,but you have been my biggest influence, since I started playing drums some 45 years ago.And I am still trying to figure out your chops. you are the greatest!!
Absolutely, fabulous. Thank you. You're best, You're a magician in Purple music. Respect for the beautiful moments you offer. Master Ian Paice. Good time for you.
Very nice, John Bonham would have loved this drag beat, very nice feel Ian, great piece of work for all of us to steal. 😅 and yes your still the man and the inspiration. God bless
My dear Ian Paice! Great drummer! Ян Пэйс самый любимый барабанщик! Великий чувак! Какой грув всегда! Клёвая песня! Я её играл - мне очень понравилась. И да, я заметил когда играл до просмотра этого видео конечно,что он играет мелкотню на малом - да и он вообще это любит. И приём с бочки на малый удары - это его грувовый стиль.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing. I love seeing these rehearsal sessions and hearing your insight into the process. It really increases my enjoyment of listening to the records with the behind the scenes stuff. Thanks again!!
So great to be able to 'sneak' into the rehearsal and the creative process of these guys. Thank you so much, Ian, for sharing and explaining how things work!!
So you do use traditional grip now and again ! Fantastic groove - a masterclass in the art of grace notes and the groove. Absolutely Brilliant !! - thanks Ian 👍🏼🥁👍🏼
This is one of Ian's greatest shuffle - groove mixtures in addition to Rosa's Cantina, the ghost notes are placed perfectly. Technically, Ian receives little respect which I have always found astonishing. Take a look at Ian's shuffle and try it in proper time for fun. Speed - time are uniform, the most precise drum break, Ian is Buddy in rock. All pattern, all groove, all precision.
Tommy aldridge , bill ward , carmine , Castillo They can do it too . Like Paice , they started playing this way In few 1969 footages you can see him play like that . After the music went.very loud and heavy so ...
A lovely man, and great drummer. Ian is really swinging here, I’d love to see him playing in a big band orchestra playing American Buddy Rich style music, I’d say he is well able.
I know everyone talks about the Purdie, Bonham, Porcaro shuffles..which are all great. But Paicey was playing groovy ass shuffles as long, if not longer than those guys. I thinks its a bit unfortunate that people dont compare other's shuffle to Paicey's.
Jan have an incredible swing seems song 2 drum. Is more different that two other great dummer Carl Palmer or Neil Perth R. I. P hydden way big drums. Great Jan👏👏👏
Many thanks, as always, to my favourite drummer. There always should be a 'Paicey-cam'. :-) Would be interesting to have the final version with the slightly different drum track in comparison.
Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed it, since I used to play drums. Your style is very clean, juicy and has a typical "signature", whether you play with Deep Purple or when you played with Gary Moore. You certainly have a special sound, far above thousands of studio players, that might technically match or even exceed you. I feel humble honor to be able to watch this and write this comment. Keep rocking!
And this my friends, is why there would be no DP without Ian. What a man! Also for all who know the meme templates with Di Caprio biting his fist from Wolf of wall street and fascinated Christian Bale's oooh face as Bateman: 08:23
Whilst at a friends wedding reception in Germany back in the 70,s,and after far too many beers I ended up on a right handed kit,and so had to play open handed,and of course with my right foot on the bass drum. DISASTER! After what I was told was,according to a friend,about 5 minutes the brides elderly grandmother told me to get off the kit. She said I was,nt very good,after which she took the seat at the drums,and apparently was much better than I was. She was drunk too! So I treat right handed kits,(and of course “open handed” playing), like the “devils setup” they are and leave them alone!!! Ian.
Mr. Paice, I'm curious. Is there a particular reason you started with a traditional grip before switching to matched grip? It's rare to see footage of you using traditional grip. Thank you for sharing this with your fans.
Hi Dash, I can only really mess around on the snare drum with the traditional grip. I have used matched grip all my life,and I find it really difficult to get round the kit with any power with my right stick pointing a different direction. I know it should be easier,but for me it’s not. But I love the jazzy stuff you can do with the trad grip Ian.
No yoga,etc. I worked out toward the end of the 70,s that playing drums although physical demanding should not be any more strenuous than necessary. I learnt( albeit rather late), to let the sticks and the drums do most of the work!!!. Drums and cymbals will only go so loud,you can hit them as hard as you want but when you get to 100% that’s it,there is no more volume!!!. Also bringing the stick down from above your head to apply the note will just make you tired,and eventually probably end up hurting yourself!!. It’s the last 3”- 4” (8cm - 10cm),where the stick hits the head,that’s the important bit of the stroke. So I do try to keep fairly fit but nothing out of the ordinary. Ian.
