Dust off the Record Player, get the vinyl polished and Crank up the volume! Ian gives us his top Fifteen Influential Drummers and Favourite tracks to check out
I am so glad that he included Ringo and used the "perfect" remark. Notice that Ian uses the "matched grip" of Ringo that influenced a new generation of drummers.
Every time during my life, discussing about who is the best drummer (in rock music), I say - Ian Paice. And I always had a one main argument - he is first of all a musician and only then a drummer. He plays music, not pounds a beat. And now, watching this video, I understud how right I always was.
That’s it! I am an operasinger and I always admired the high level of musical intelligence in Ian‘s art... For me the best drummer in Rock Music ever...And also percussionists from Classic Music share my opinion 👌
Totally agree. I know it's a personal choice. I always listen to others but always end up back with Mr Paice. Even called my last dog Paice. Grace Paice and musical.
With Ian It sounds deep powerful above all else, something I seldom hear, it's musical. I'm not saying he is the greatest. I am saying most importantly his sound connects with me in the way an emotional singer does or the great SRV did with his guitar. I need to feel a connection with music . Something you don't expect to get musically with drums to the same extent. Thank you Ian. Keep the music rolling.
@@TILTNTURN Exactely! As I mentioned, I am coming from classical music, from opera...When I listen to The Mule or Fireball, I am touched as if I listen the ride of the Walkyries...Both is high resonance and Rock and Roll at it’s Best 👌
When I was a little kid, my father, who was a musician, late at night would make me sit and watch over and over again a documentary about Deep Purple that he had in VHS. He didn't oblige me, I was always pretty happy. In this documentary there were huge chunks of California Jam. I was always mesmerized at Ian Paice's drum solo. I couldn't believe how he could keep one time with his hands, and another with the kick drum, until he matched both tempos. I thought he must have had two brains to manage two tempos at once. My dad (a bass player) always told me - listen to Ian Paice. That's the drummer. I'm glad he showed that to me. To this day, when I think of a Drummer, it's Ian Paice I think of.
I just watched a couple of live versions of “Black Night” from 70 and 72 and whoah!!! On the strength of those tracks, I’ve had to re-evaluate my thoughts on which band(and era) I’d consider to be the greatest rock band of all time...The Purple of the early 70s has got to be thee most incredible band ever...Without question...
@@PrimalCircus But it's a shame only drummers understand. I'm not a drummer but as a musician, I figure out the complexities of drumming and I always appreciated Ringo's drumming... 🤷♂️
Ringo was a bit overrated. He wouldn't come within a mile of Paice or Bonham..Needless to say Beatles were not a rock band like Led Zeppelin or Deep Purple.
The average listenser doesn't know what to make of Ringo. He isn't flashy so he doesn't stand out. But musicians... almost to a man, all praise his work. There is a reason all of the Beatles kept working with him after the band broke up. Because he made the song better! He is one of the best ever.
Yes this young lady made a wonderful tribute on Ringo. Take a look at this video completely. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0NCczct2ZIM.html
The only argument (and it's a puerile argument) against Ringo is that he lacks the technique of the rudiments. Well, the king of all rudimental drummers, here, Mr, Ian Paice, just annihilated that argument. RIngo's the King.
Earl Palmer, Greg Errico, Gene Krupa, Joe Morello, Carmine Appice, Ringo Starr, Buddy Rich. You can't go wrong with this Part 1 list at all. There's miles of road to study from these musicians!
Earl Palmer, what a drummer and the true godfather of rock n roll. I really like Ben Riley known for his work with Thelonius Monk, what a jazz drummer he was, powerful with it as well.
Thank you Paicey. When you mentioned Carmine I was reminded of the story Jon Lord told about how he got to jam with Hendrix. Great night except that Carmine would not get off the kit and so Paicey didn't get the chance to play with Jimi. Real shame for Ian and Jimi.
Je suis fan de Deep Purple depuis 1973. Made in Japan est, pour moi, le meilleur live de tous les temps... et j'écoute encore aujourd'hui In Rock, Machine Head, Burn, ... Thanks Ian, you're a fantastic drummer and a nice man. 🎼🎸
I was lucky enough to see /hear Buddy R live in the early 80s. I've seen no one better. And I've seen my share, Mr Paice was one, the Professor , C Palmer, B Ward, B Bruford, T Aldridge, A White, J Dolmayan to name off the top of my head. Sorry for rambling Thanks for posting Mr. Paice
I started to play drums hearing your style, mr. Paice, especially your typical ghost notes in "Maybe I'm Leo" from 1972. You stll remain one of my favourte drummers of that "golden age" along with John Bonham and Bill Bruford. Please keep on goin' on!!
The trinity of iconic rock drummers for me has always been Paice, Mitchell and Bonham. If there’s a tier two of rock drummers who inspired me it would be Appice, Baker Barrymore Barlow and Moon the loon. Paice combined power and groove with precision in a way that I’d never heard before. It is still a great thrill each time I here those timeless signature licks. To have his level of power and that touch is such a special gift. Hearing from the source which players helped him hone his craft is beyond inspiring
Your drumming on everything, but especially the Burn album left a HUGE impression on me and it might be the album that I've listened to more than any other. I saw that Burn show in Seattle in 1974, The Electric Light Orchestra and Elf opened for you guys. You've always been one of my favorite soloists too but Ringo is why I became a drummer! Thank you for everything!!!
Such fabulous choices for this list! Saw Rod Stewart when Carmine was with him...my boyfriend (yes, a drummer) caught one of his sticks that he was prone to throwing into the crowd. I think my bf blanked out for the rest of the concert. I loved performing Take 5...so innovative and a joy to perform
This is a really great video. I am going to watch Part II but I already can say: "I expected these choices and these comments". I expected that because from the 70s, when I started playing the Deep Purple LPs, I obviously felt how much Ian Paice was swinging and rocking at the same time, giving the music power and precision, but with also a beautiful swinging flow, sometimes evident, sometimes subtle (and it's not only a matter of subdivisions). So finding Earl Palmer and Joe Morello there confirmed my sensations and that's been like a present. Thank you, Sir. But one must say that also finding Ringo is not a surprise, because while rocking and swinging, Ian Paice knows how to serve the song, the music, knows what to do and especially what not to do, when to do it and especially when not to do it. And when you have great hands and feet, the responsibility has to be even higher.
Ian is somewhat new to me overall with focused listening over the last 2 years, and I agree Ian is amazing and I hold as high as anyone in rock music. Of course this is a great lesson and I look forward to exploring your influences Ian. Thank you for this and all your contributions to the music world!
Great videos Ian, particularly this one, really interesting to hear about drummers you love - totally agree with Joe Morello’s Take Five solo - great sound, sends shivers up the spine every time.
Para mim ter Ian Paice como inspiração foi a coisa mais maravilhosa que aconteceu na minha vida . poriço virei seu fã grande mestre. Suas técnicas me ajudaram muito na minha evolução na bateria.muito obrigado mestre 🤟🎵🥁😀
I asked you that question, {Influences} many yrs ago at a drum clinic you did in Adelaide South Australia and you pretty much stated the same minus a few. I like the passion you still have. Thank you.
Ahh...the intro to Space Truckin' ....the Carmine Appice inspired technique of hitting the splash cymbal and grabbing it is very effective. Everything comes from somewhere and I am sure lots of people have been inspired by some of the things you have done. I for one!!!!!!! It's gotta swing!!!! I wore glasses too and bought the one's that change color in the sunlight because you had them I believe. Gotta look good too. By the way ...the outdoor concert you did with Paul McCartney and David Gilmour was very enjoyable. What a band!!!
You played once a Ringo tune and you did great!!! Now seriously. If we could listen Ringo isolated tracks, we'd be shock about how good and creative he is.
Oh Mann, mir fallen spontan noch soooo viele sehr gute drummer ein: Lee Kerslake (RIP), Mike Mangini, Marco Minnemann, Gene Hoglan, Richard Christie und und und... Unmöglich, sie alle aufzuzählen oder etwa gegeneinander zu bewerten. Jeder hat seine besonderen Stärken. Aber eins stimmt auf alle Fälle: Man sollte als Musiker vielseitig interessiert sein. Nur so lernt man selbst auch vielseitig. - Danke Ian Paice für diese wunderbaren, hoch interessanten Videos in einer schwierigen Zeit!
Hi Mr Ian. My greatest respect on your drummer career. You gave so much joy on stage. I've manage to see Deep Purple perform 3 times and every time it was a blast. Any opinion on Billy Cobham?
This was fantastic hearing of my fav drummer, Mr. Ian Paice giving his Drummers of Note. I always wondered what he thought of others. Like him I have my favs and I see mine are almost the same as his. This is great! I also found Krupa before Buddy and to this day Gene is still my favorite when it comes to his playing. It is really an honor for Ian Paice to have this channel so we can learn and grow! How many times through the years have I heard that Ringo is not that good and hearing this from musicians! Appeal to Authority is a fallacy but not in this case because Ian knows what he is talking about so I will tell these Ringo bashers that Ian says he is top-notch, so case closed! haha
What a great opportunity to say it directly to the man. Ian, you are right on top of that list! Thanks for the great playing you have given us the pleasure to enjoy!! Very few in rock music has so much of the feel, groove and touch you mention, that's why you stand out. Thank you for all you've done!!
Joe Morello's solo on Take Five is the type of drum solo where the vamp/comp keeps going, the rest of the band drops out and the drummer embellishes the vamp/comp. Morello's solo is very musical and expressive - He was truly melodic drummer...
Excellent reasoning behind the choices, thank you for that. On a musicians' forum it's astonishing how many drummers said they were inspired to start playing by Ringo (includes me!) - and of course, by the time In Rock came out drummers my age were in a position to truly appreciate a great rhythm section and then move on to 'discover' good / great drummers in other genres. I feel so lucky to have been able to really appreciate what was going on in the powerhouse of the bands I listened to and, naturally, Ian was a major influence...
With this said Ian Paice of Carmine Appice will inflate his ego even more, he is very conceited. Carmine once said that John Bonham learned things from him, and now hearing Ian I believe Carmine. wow. For me Ian will always be my hero drummer, the best.
Yep even though you come from an earlier era than me, I have to agree with that list. I always thought Morello was every bit as good as Buddy , he just didn't have the ego. Buddy was definitely a Juggernaut , Love the alien comment (too funny) . Ringo kinda stands by himself . Great list Ian and thanks for all your great drumming, and real inspiration we all got from you !!
Totally agree with you on Morello being every bit as good as Rich. Buddy had the power and drive, Joe the touch and taste. Both brilliant drummers and Ringo is just one of a kind. Great list, looking forward to part 2.
@@davidwinthrop7077 Yep , the one that surprised me was Ian talking about Carmine Appice , that makes about 3 or 4 top rock drummers that all said they learned something from Carmine. And I have to admit , a few things that both the Appice brothers did really surprised me and educated me at the same time. Definitely looking forward to part 2 .
@@ARGBlackCloud Yeh Carmine definitely an innovator in playing in a heavy style. While Mitch Mitchell in the Hendrix Experience was probably thought of as a heavy player, in reality he was a jazz drummer playing at high volume so yes Carmine deserves to be on the list for inventing a new style of drumming.
Your not the first drummer who has had those choice words for Ringo. As far as ive heard Ringo has come out with something new and word is its brilliant
Now Ian Paice will be able to tell us who his most advanced students were, or who he thinks he influenced among the best known drummers, perhaps he is not aware of their influence. or any specialist on the subject to tell us.
Oh man, yeah Earl Palmer is amazing, Greg Errico, what he laid down made that band, to this day I use "I wanna take you higher" to practice double bass, you can play with it and try different patterns, and then Ringo, Ian I want to ask you and anyone else what you think of this, I believe some of what Ringo created was not done before and then copied so often, for example Hard Day's Night, that open hihat crashing beat I've never found anything like it before he recorded it and its like the basis for rock drumming, you've used it, Maggie May is it, and then She Loves You, basis of punk drumming and also copied a lot.
'Ere's a link to the Vanilla Fudge song "Shotgun" featuring Carmine Appice that Ian refers to. Sounds a bit like Deep Purple meets Flo and Eddie (to me). Great song : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-su-brFIiIgA.html&ab_channel=Kostas
Not even close! Bonham was twice the drummer Carmine was. I studied with Carmine and he is great. He came from the swing feel into rock. But Bonham? Not only swung, but had swagger!
