Ian Paice reacts to Tosh Peterson performing Fireball 

Thanks for reacting to the video, Ian! Time to have you on Drumeo to do an episode with us!

"I never thought of doing that" by Ian bloody Paice. Absolute gold dust

A high bar. Ian created speed metal with this song, eight years before there was a name for speed metal.

So, for those who don't know the format: drummers come into Drumeo studio, and they are given a song they've "never" heard before. What the drummer hears is a track with the drums erased out of it, so they have to guess what the drum part would be. Can turn into some really interesting results, especially since they pick songs that are necessarily out of the drummer's wheelhouse (in order to find a song they don't have familiarity with). Kudos to Ian for the reaction video. Was fun to watch! :) Would be really cool if Drumeo could get some of your time. ;)

This man gives us what we been wantinf from drumeo for ages.. drummers reactions to these

As always, Mr. Paice is the gentleman, kind, humble and supportive. Full of encouragement wanting the best for each and every player he touches. He was like that with me personally too. God Bless you and your family Mr. Paice.

Its so great to see the mutual respect between generations of drummers

Who else loves Ian paice

The wife and I seen Deep Purple in 1985 at the Texas jam with our two boys ages 4 and 2. Didn't have enough for tickets so we sat outside in the grass listening to the show when someone walked by and said the gates were open. We grabbed the boys and went in and stood just a few yards from the stage and watched Deep Purple play 2 songs and 1 encore.

How Mr.Ian enjoys this Young man's drumming his part of the song is priceless..They were one of the most important piece of the Rock music history. Huge respect to him and congrats to young man..

Ian Paice the best !!

I was born in 66 , I grew up listening to you , you're a ROCK N ROLL GOD !

Ian.. A soft expression to say everything

Ever since I saw that video I wanted to know what Ian would think of it, this is a gem!!

Mr. Paice is an underrated drummer he should be given the accolades he is due. Ian you are one of my favorite drummers.

I dig it when the original artist loves and appreciates the cover version of his work, great! 👍

What a big difference in performance, in a sense of rhythm, virtuosity, Ian Pace is one of the few drum kit performers to whom I bow low. Respect and long life. I was born in the former Soviet Union myself💯👍👌

Ian Paice is one of the rarest men I asked for an autograph. Just love him

Ian Paice on the drums... yes!

Tosh is awesome. Ian Paice is a living legend. Keep rockin'.

I had fun watching Ian watch Tosh. Clearly they impressed each other. Heart warming.

I cherish the stick you threw to me at Asbury Park NJ first tour with Steve. At the end of the show I was in the first row and you looked right at me and I knew it was coming. You threw high and I leaped like never before and caught it! Thx so much we love you!!!!

WOW! This is exactly what I want to see - a reaction by the original artist to this!!!

The greatest complement is when Ian says "oh I never though of doing that. That's cool!" That is probably one of the best things a musician can hear from an original composser.

Awesome to see this reaction! Thanks for taking the time to do it, and thanks for all you gave to us musically!

“Looks different,Hits similar” …Modern music has always been following in the footsteps of legends like you Ian.You and others set the template. We are just paying homage to it in our own image.

Ian is a legend and Tosh is a phenomenal drummer.

"Yeah, you got it" 😆

This man is a legend ❤ he was there in 1968 for the beginning of DP

Love watching the Drumeo videos. Very interesting to see what they come up with, especially when it's out of their comfort zone.

I am not a drummer (guitarist) but I have to say that Ian is my favorite of 70s, he was so fast and his snare hit was so precise. Thank you for all the music!

Ian Paice, the best drummer name.

Ian Paice has been my favorite drummer for over 45 years and while there has been awesome drummers all throughout rock musics earlier days it is still Paice over all else!

You're a class act Mr. Paice, thank you for all the brilliant drumming over the years. Always such a joy to hear you play.

I love every time he chuckles

Ian Paice is a living legend

Loved both of these vids!

Im so glad y'all did this. Thank you Ian you're the man

Interesting way to approach to fireball. That drumming make the fireball sound slower despite that drumming looks and sound faster.

Strange to listen to with this style, especially without the speed of the bass in Glover's hands. Personally I didn't like it but no one can judge better than Mr.Paice!

👍 that was really cool, I love Ian pace.

This is awesome... glad to see a classy rebuttal.

So pleased to to see you posting again! Always a pleasure.

As a musician I love drumeo's blind drum performances, the point is to get an "interpretation" and being different is expected. It shows how much difference drummer and how they interpret something makes. Also, that there are multiple as valid ways to see something as any other :) It's not about being "correct" it's about being yourself :)

Mr. Paicey, thanks so much for your music.

Great to see Ian react to this... And enjoy it. Deep purple are so musically underrated by a lot of people

Mr Paice a gentleman as always.

Gracias ian pace por tanta buena musica que dejaste juntos a deep purple. Otros tantos genio 👏 🙌

🤯🤯🤯🤯 the circle has been completed! And i'm in tears of joy... Thanks Ian ❤

My favourite drummer of all times! Mr Paice rules.

he did a great job. the great Ian Paice was grooving with it as well..

Many years ago back in 69 i got to see deep purple play live and i lived with the in rock album till i wore it out ..fast forward a year or 2 later i was lucky enough to get to work alongside Ian on tour and i got to watch him play every night on tour and travel with him and he even produced one of our songs which was nerve wrackin to say the least and totally in awe of him and the band..he gave me some of the best advice ever and showed me drummers I should be learning from like bernard purdy live at the fillmore with King Curtis and any soul drummers I never looked back and would like to take this opportunity to thank Ian for his guidance and patience with me as IM sure he must have been pissed off with a puppy dog following him around but the influence and grace he played as a drummer still to this day knocks me out thanks Ian ...................

So good...made my day much better !

great mr. Paice!

Love You Ian!!!!!

Love it brother!!!

You will always be the best, Ian!

Sir, you are a legend!

Just fantastic!!!

I just LOVE Deep Purple! Come back to Fortaleza/Brazil sometime soon! 👏🏼👏🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Wow, i love this!

You're a legend Ian. I learned a lot from your drumming while my father listened to a lot of Deep Purple in the 90's.

Love Ian x

This is awesome I will be watching again with my dad tomorrow lol Ian Paice is the original scale of how I view all drummers skill levels lol I honestly loved the raw modern take on 1 of my favorite songs

U are the Master of Hard rock drums and the greatest inspiration i love u you I saw the band live in Thessaloniki Greece

Saw DP live twice in 1973…..amazing band live 👏👏👏thanks Ian great video 🥂

IAN PAiCE,Such a momument drummer and very kind and nice human person! IAN,THANK U FOR UR MUSIC

Going straight off to play Space Truckin' and Never before. Ian Paice´s drumming is so crisp it's a joy to ear.

I was lucky enough to meet Ian Paice at a drum workshop in Curitiba, Brazil, in 1997. To this day I have the vinyl record "In Rock" signed by him. An extremely kind man and much more interested in real music than stardom. In my opinion - as well as Bruce Dickinson, Lars Ulrich and countless others - he is the best drummer of the 70s.

Love you Ian, Deep Purple albums were some of the first LPs I stole from my parent's collection.

This series has become my precious. Seeing Ian react is like watching Led Zeppelin see modern artists play their songs. This is RAD.

Been with you since the beginning. Thanks for all the great music. Place....in...line.....

Legend!

I love these sort of videos... anything to help keep real music around and in peoples ears.

This is fun...I saw the video and thought .."what would Ian think of this?" For me I'll take the original every time. Thanks for sharing with us, Ian.

Ian's got swing plus faaast hands..legend.

Ian Paice ... Always Nr. 1 !!

OMG! Thank you!

When he starts bobbing his head you can’t help but smile
