Ian Paice Nails 'Apres Vous' One Take! 

One of the greatest drummers ever!! Big influence to me! Thankyou so much Mr Paice

I love how he says it's not a difficult part, yet in the whole solo section he's playing 16th notes on the hihat with one hand, and making them feel just right on an opening and closing hihat as he steadily increases intensity. World class and humble.

If you aspire to be a rock drummer, this is the epitome of tone and feel. That snare is just beautiful.

4 singers, 3 guitar players, 3 bass players, 2 keyboard players but only 1 Ian Paice!! The true heart and soul of Deep Purple

Brilliant , my favourite drummer of all time . The legendary Ian Paice 👍👏👏👏

Ian is such a powerhouse and a groove monster. Truly one of the greats.

Ian Paice is a living legend and Icon in the music world ... he has been and continues to be one of my greatest influences

Huge respect for one of the greatest drummers ever. Thanks Ian.

Masterclass! The subtleties and nuances, the way Ian doesn't overplay... The way he holds that groove - outstanding!

Deep Purple ..yeah.. GREATEST band ever. Fortunate to see them a few years ago.

One od the greatest rock drummer in history,if not the greatest.

Groove is king and there's the proof. Thanks Ian for a lifetime of solid grooves.

You are one of my favorite drummers of ALL time. You are one of the reasons I started playing the drums back in 1973. Rock on Sir.

Amazing Ian. A great song is when you can take the vocals out and the song stands on its own. This does.

Living legend. 50 years after Made In Japan was released and still kicking ass. Wow...

The wizard of drums. Bravo, maestro!

My biggest influence on drumming... 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This man is one of 3 people who made me want to play drums when I was about 5 years old.

Saw Ian a few times live , but the best was at Barrymores when he was touring with Gary Moore. I was less than 20 ft from him with an unobstructed view of his pedal work. What a machine!! Says something when Gary Moore is on stage and all you can do is watch the drummer. Legend!

Had the pleasure of meeting this gentleman ..in my view he is the greatest rock /jazz drummer since Buddy Rich

When amazingly humble Ian Paice is proud of his work, you know it's gonna be good. Awesome work. That is some crisp sounding drums 👌

Wow, such great feel, precision and musicality.

My favorite rock drummer ever!!☀

Ian Paice on the Drums, Yessss!!!

Ian...Legend! Ian's playing is all about the music and not flash. However, his restraint and style prove that he is as a big of a part the sound that is Deep Purple. And at his age, he's proved that a drummer's can survive the business that is rock and roll.

Ian Paice,,, one of the absolute best, most underrated drummers ever

The technique coupled with such humility….the man is a living legend….need to see him on tour soon 😎👍🥁🎶❤️

Roger is smoking on the bass. He puts down an excellent line. Paice and Glover - great rhythm section, one of the best ever!

Now What is a teriffic album, and while this one may not stand out to be the 'hit' song, it really captures the purple spirit since the early days

You have it, or you have it not... Amazing to still keep that groove and precision at that age... incredible!!

Used to play drums, wish I still did, but Ian Paice was and still is my favorite drummer. I used to try and play like him, but was never good enough to keep up. Such a beast, gonna go put some DP on now and rock out to sleep.

Pure class. It’s all about what he leaves out. The spaces between.

I could watch Ian play all day. Such a great drummer and always comes across as a great bloke too

My favorite all time drummer. Saw purple for the 3rd time this year in Lisbon and it’s always a joy to watch him play. It was a great gig, btw. Keep rocking Pacey. 🙏🏻👍🏻

My mentor, guru, and inspiration. Thank you Ian. Fell in love with your groove since Who Do We Think We Are.

Wow! Stunning drumming and what a beautiful bass line by Mr Glover. No wonder they drive the best rock band in the world so well.

Thanks a lot. God bless you. Long live Mr Paice

The snare sounds so great. I love it. Mr Paice, I started to be a drummer at the age of 12 because of you and stil playing now at 60. Thanks and God bless you!

Thank you for everything, Mr. Paice!!

ridiculously good....nice!😁 Ian is the man!

Absolutely nailed it!!! 😯😯😯😯😯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Браво МАСТЕР ! Долгих лет!

Very classy. Well played Ian. You have a great feel and career

Loved that detail about the intensity of the drum part matching the guitar solo’s intensity. 😎🥁😎

Absolute class! still got the great groove and technique Mr. Paice 👌

Still got it Ian..enjoy..love everything you play. Just remember out of all legendary drummers, please accept that you are the very best. Thankyou 💯

Love the long extended solo section, that buildup works so well.

Stunning performance. Nailed it!!

F A N T A S T I C...great dynamics and very interesting arrangend...always serving the Song...I want you on my next album 😉

Great job my friend! You are one of my idols. My top five albums are all live albums and the one with Mr. Pace is «Whitesnake, Love in the heart of the city» from 1980. I have played the LP and CD to shreads long time ago. Love it. Thank you. I have seen DP twice in Oslo. Thank you again!

Уважаю этого музыканта.

Happy birthday Ian. You are the reason I started playing 🥁.

P H E N O M E N A L drummer! Why would any fan of the band doubt that he'd nail it?

Always enjoy watching you play Ian!! professional through and through.

Awesome! What a groove, and so musical to listen to. Thanks for this Ian. I hope our friend Cliff shook your hand on my behalf a couple of weeks ago. 🤓🤘🥁

So smooth! You make the drums and cymbals sound great!

I remember being 12 and going to see Deep Purple as my first rock concert ever and they opened with this song. It blew me away. Few songs are as dear to me as this one is. This video is precious!

Great performance! This is such a good song and I really enjoy the solo section. I'm a Finnish drummer and a keyboardist and there's a lot of things I really like here. Deep Purple have been blessed by having one of the greatest drummers of all time but also two of the best keyboardists. Jon Lord was fantastic and I've always really liked Don Airey in all the albums he's been playing. I really appreciate the upload. It's great to hear this monitor mix of the song. In some ways it sounds better to me this way. The final version that ended up on the album is still really good though. Thank you for keeping the quality of music very high all these years. Take care and I hope you're having a great day.

Brilliant sir , been a follower for decades and decades !!!!!

Impeccable , as usual Mr. Paice.

Fantastic to see you Ian. I love what you have brought to drumming. You’re one of the drumming legends that I’m glad I’ve been alive to experience. Thanks man. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The absolute best drummer of his era. I know Bonham gets all the accolades but Paice is the man.

still love your drumming-over many many years!!

6:42 My favourite part. Watch how the intensity builds to a crescendo while pushing the beat, but then instantly drops back into the tightest, deepest groove possible. Playing the notes is often simple compared to making them FEEL good.

Ian paice the living classic addorable legendary drummer of this century.wishing him 100 more y

Well done, and great sounding drums!

the hi-hat on the solo section is one of the grooviest I've ever heard. So beautiful!

Awesome Ian loved the stuff u did with Whitesnake, back in the day. I believe ur one of the most underrated drummers my friend. Outstanding

Very great Mr Paice. You are my inspiration in drumming. Thank you

Ian Paice was my first idol. He "fooled no one," he was (and is) the real deal.

We are so lucky to have you still groovin!

Thank you for this Mr. Paice , my hero, what a great performance on this track! The master in action!!

Ian Paice, the reason I took up drumming as a 14 year old.

Love how the beat supports the solos. It really has that leaning into it feel. Nice Paistes too!

I love this man, incredible musician.

Excelente trabajo Ian.....lo mejor de lo mejor.

Great to meet in Leeds - as personable in the flesh as he appears on the videos - thank you for the 50+ years of pleasure you and your numerous colleagues have provided me with.

Amazing! As always! You sir are a huge inspiration to me and I'm sure to many others. Thank you very much

Long Live Mr. Paicey!

Love this tune.. thank you Ian

What him and Roger are doing is sublime.

Always good...A MASTER IS A MASTER... GOD BLESS YOU!!!👌🙏👋👋👋 YOU PLAY MUSIC , NOT JUST NOISE...

You couldnt be any more proud than I am. Fantastic.

Thanks for the music in Sofia and Blagoevgrad Mr. Paice!

Just Woooow!!! Superb drumming par excellance. And the snaresound.... Gold to my ears.

Awesome work Ian. Playing in good form.

Ian, the legend! And so humble! The beginning of the track reminds me... Kansas, in the 80s 🎼🎸

The master at work, brilliant!

Very inspiring...Top ! Thank You Ian !

Great to see you again Ian Cheers!

The track seemed so-so on the album, but live it became a very different beast. Thanks for the very interesting video.

Mr. Paice, I just wanted to say that you have always been the person that influenced my drumming from the very beginning. I actually started off playing Trumpet but when "Made in Japan" came out I just had to get it. After hearing it I was pulled into it by your playing. I put my Trumpet away and started to play the drums. Then I didn't know why I was so moved by your playing but now that I'm much older I know the reason. You ability to play with such dynamics is amazing. It's easy to play drums loud and with power, but to be able to play with such control of dynamics and still keep the power in your strokes is amazing. Today we drummer have so many tools we can use to give us the little something extra, but back in the day when you were on stage there were few extras you could use. Needless to say few can make drums speak, and you are one of the few that can. Thank you for your positive influence you have had on so many drummers.

Master Welcome back We are very happy to see You again!

Enjoyed it very much! Much better than a drum machine because with human feeling. Super Song, great drummer! Got the CD. 👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

Humility propels you a long way!

Legend! And a killer drum sounds! Especially snare drum! Best wishes from Croatia 🙏🏻🌈

Nice to see you back Ian...Cheers from the Rockies.

If you have It, please show us the video of one of your greatest studio performances ever: Hey Cisco!

Legend at his best

His way of drumming is always spot on...no extra nonsense. I am 64 years old now lived in Holland now in Austria. I grew up with Deep purple so to say. He is not showing how good he is. Ian is in love with his instrument and his band that's drumming all about. Believe it or not I bought the CD Now what today in Spittal kärnten what a coincidence. Anyway thanks for sharing Ian 🙂👍👍
