Ian Paice from Hard Rock Supergroup Deep Purple Shares a couple of Anecdotes about Kieth Moons Bass Drum, Recording with Sir Paul McCartney then Plays some Crazy fast Triplets!
Such a humble man love listening to his stories and for me the greatest drummer ever. Saw Deep Purple in 2007 and couldn’t keep my eyes of him, amazing drummer.
Happy Birthday Mr. Paice! It's a honor for me to make my birthday the same day! I'm a drummer and you are my daily inspiration. Love you so much! Respect! True Legend! Fabio from North Italy
I saw him at the Zanzibar Club in Liverpool on this 'evening with...' tour (I think). Ian is a fantastic player and a great and modest teacher and raconteur. At the end of the clinic Ian stayed behind to answer questions and we just happened to be stood in what became the front of the queue. He signed my Paice Ashton Lord sleeve and I got to ask him about his 70s sideburns (too much trouble, shaved them off) and his legendary 70s sheepskin jacket ("I think it's still up in the loft - I'll have to get it down"). Paicey the Legend - I love you!
I stage managed this event. Ian said he wanted no kit mics (none are pumped thru the PA) - all he wanted was a vocal mic to do Q and A. He did say he had an XLR inside the bass drum but to quote 'you wont need it'. I did connect it and the fader remained off. All the other world class drummers on that day had full mic ups and he was more powerful than any of them. Lovely chap too. I was with him and Nicko backstage and we had a rather nice conversation.
Hello dear Jan! I cordially congratulate you on your birthday! My band and I are big fans of your work and Deep Purple's. I wish you many more times to please your fans with live performances, we always attend your concerts in our city. You are a living example for our drummer. I wish you all the best.

I grew up idolizing Gene Krupa, thanks to my mom. I inhaled his passion. Then, I was fortunate enough to experience Buddy Rich in person at a competition I was taking part in while in high school. It was just him, his kit and an enraptured audience. He blew me away. Although I’m a trumpet & bass player, my focus has always been the drummers. Playing and listening to all genres, my real loves are jazz and hard/metal. Ian Paice, you’re the pinnacle of your craft.
I find it impossible to believe that he hasn’t yet been knighted by the Queen. If anyone deserves to be called Sir, it is Ian Anderson Paice. The man is a living legend, has had a long and remarkable career, and has been heavily involved with humanitarian work. Ian is without question one the greatest rock drummers of all time and is an even better and humble, human being. Love you to bits Sir, and may you blessed with everything that is good for the future!
4:12 to 4:22. Genius at work. Fireball: one of the greatest and most electrifying and recognizable drum intros in rock history. I had to smile just watching him do it again thirty+ years later. He’s a marvel. Both the speed and the dynamics are more powerful than the original recording.
Thankyou Ian for your brilliant work over the years. I too was a "lefty" drummer who watched Mr. Krupa on a Sunday p.m. - At 10 years old I used knitting needles and played stuff on my mum's cushions 'cause I heard that Mr. K. did that. I'm 70 plus now, and the hands have given up now but I love watching your playing. - keep the stories and tales coming. You make an old drummer very happy.
@@aschule5684 Probably we are lucky here in Italy...he did many clinics here from the late 90' on and we knew many of the things he Is saying now. I asked too some questions to him.
I really enjoy your recordings, Mr. Paice. I do not play the drums, but I have played guitar for almost 50 years, and I have never heard a drummer, who comes close to you. Humble and kind at the same time! It's a pleasure. Looking forward to hear and see you in Denmark again. Kind Regards, Jan
Thanks for the memories and your Integrity Ian .1.27 Am, Montreal time , A bottle of wine, and Burn thru my new Grado Sr 325s , Man oh Man these cans Rock.Peace and Prosperity my Man...
Hello Ian - This was Birmingham Drumfest 2003, which took place on July 27th. There's a short review of the evening here: www.deep-purple.net/mk7news/drumfest.htm The evening also featured Greg Bissonette, Zoro, and Mark Mondesir.
Very enjoyable yes the footage was raw and the lighting bright but the stories were priceless thanks for posting 👍 machine head was my first fireball then in rock 🎸
I attended your 'clinic' in Adelaide, Australia (at the Arkaba Hotel) in 2001. Was very special to meet you, talk with you, and have you share your experiences and tips with us, just as you are doing with these videos. Thankyou so much for sharing these insights.
Wonderful stuff. I love hearing the story of how he borrowed one of KM's kicks. In fact I love hearing all his stories. Purple did Fireball (briefly) in early 1972 as an encore, giving the crew time to set up the second kick drum.
Fireball is one of my favorite purple song and it because of the drums your one of my idol's your albums tought me to play I think your one the best I love you !
One more awesome video, Dear Ian! Couldn´t be loving your channel more! Thank You so much for sharing your knowledge and your beautiful energy with us!!
When I was 13 or 14, back in 1998 I think. I actually met Ian at a Clinic in Bournemouth on the pier, I still have my signed copy of Machine Head. Remember crying as my parents were away and initially couldn’t go so they arranged a neighbour to take me and my brother. Ian was my absolute hero, Made in Japan and Machine Head were the first result that properly got me into drums. I remember trying to learn to play the solo in the Mule. I never really got presents as a kid, but I saved and saved from washing cars every weekend and my folks agreed if I saved half the cost would buy me a double pedal for Xmas. I think the only reason I wanted one was to actually learn to play Fireball! The band I still play in started out life as as mostly a covers band. And in 2003 or 4 I remember we played a gig in Bournemouth at O’Neils. Track 4-5 was Fireball, After that manager came out and stopped the gig, said we were way too loud, I’m a hard hitter but the kit wasn’t miked up. Once we’d got our own stuff together and toured much more and with bigger bands never really did much in the way of covers, but a couple of years ago we played at my own wedding and did Highway Star. There was no way in hell on my wedding day wasn’t going to play my favourite all time song.
Great Ian tanks for sharing! My friends Lightning Raiders recorded at Ramport and told me the story about Keith Moon's bass drum - so it's legendary and true! Killer playing by The Chief as always!

The Paul McCartney project was really cool. I loved the video of where you were playing live in a town square I think. The sound was great and the look and feel of it was really awesome. I always thought Deep Purple took over from where the Beatles ended in a way. Even before with experimenting with classical music in your songs. And then to do things like And The Address which evokes such mystique. Great videos. My question is what did you do to get such an amazing bass drum foot? Any particular exercises? For years I have been working on the Made In Japan ..Strange Kind of Woman bass drum triplets you did. Got it for awhile ..then it goes away..lol
Bonsoir, je joue de la batterie depuis 5-6 ans , je suis aussi gauché autodidacte . Ian Paice est mon "prof" virtuel car je suis aussi GRAND FAN de "DEEP PURPLE" MERCI MISTER PAICE......
Great content but you were right about the quality, luckily the sound was better than the video, its facinating that any smartphone camera these days will be about a thousand times better than that fairly big camera.
4:12 Unfortunately, the video doesn't really capture the Fireball drum intro as it was originally. In the original, the "swing" feeling alternating between the snare, toms, and ride cymbal was what made it grab at your ears. We're not getting that here. Still, what Ian does play here is quite impressive in its own right. Sorry if it seems like I'm making a "crap sandwich" for Ian Paice; that's certainly not my intention. I'm not a drummer and I'd have no business doing that.
4:23 you can see the video, fireball intro he used DOUBLE PEDALS bass drum, you know one single bass drum-double pedals is the secret. In the record yeah is a double bass drums.
For the live Deep Purple set ,before double pedals were really available, the roadie used to drag on and set up a 2nd ludwig bass drum only for Fireball. Copenhagen gig film (1972?) clearly shows this. Its a great video although it is in black and white.
Ian is NOT the chief, according to these dumb mother fucking libtards, chief is Indian and racist. Ian is and will always be the MASTER, he taught me how to conquer Pearl in 1976
