One of my all time favorite drummers, and one of my all time favorite personalities in rock music. Such a sweet, kind man, and such an UTTER BADASS on the drums!! Perfect combination!
Ian was a big influence on me growing up. I used to listen to him a LOT throughout my teens when I was practicing for hours. "Made in Europe" really blew me away when I first heard it. Not many drummers played with the energy that Ian had. He took you on a wild ride and I loved every minute of it.
You deserve such a respect Sir. So much talent for such a long time, so many gigs, so many records, so many hits, so much feeling on the drums. You've been and you are a GIANT! Thank you for all. Best regards from France.
When I started drums (1972), I had my kit exactly (almost) like Ian's, taken from the Made in Japan album cover, ride cymbal in the middle of the crash stand (that looked so cool), hi-hat, two floor toms, bass drum, one tom, snare, two crash, cow bell. Listening to Fireball, Concerto, in Rock, etc. trying to figure out how everything works. Well, thanks to Ian, 10 years playing in a band, it was fun.
First time I heard this man was on Deep Purple, 'Machine Head' album in 72, 73 (I Think?). Being an aspiring drummer naturally, "IT Blew Me Away!" The dynamics of the big drums and the thunder after the strike, definitely got your attention. Ian has always stuck with what works. To this day it's still the way rock drumming should sound. It kicks you in the ribs and doesn't let up. Also, he has a single stroke roll that's just blistering. Rock On Ian and Deep Purple.
Saw him live on stage twice. Great drummer, Great powerful and Gentleman, nothin to add to his outstanding talent technique and musical taste. Absolutely unmatched.
he speaks through his drums words can never explain or express. Music is that 1 Sence... if ure able in receiving and have the Privilegs to sending the right frequencies it needed that moment, thats spirittous/magical on its own
@@audieconrad8995 Hell the entire Machine Head album IMO he shined. It’s what made me stop thinking Don Brewer was the Best! 😂 Honestly it opened up my mind to what a Great drummer was! One of my faves always!
9:17 Their set list for that gig: Highway Star Bloodsucker Hard Lovin' Man Strange (Kinda Woman) Vincent (Price) Contact Lost Uncommon Man Well Dressed (Guitar) Lazy Demon's Eye Hell To Pay Keys (solo?) Perfect (Strangers) Space (Truckin') Smoke (on The Water) Band leave the stage after 'Smoke'.. -- "We want more! - We want more! - We want more!" -- Band re-join stage (to thundddderous applause!) Encore: Hush Black (Night) I saw Deep Purple 3 times, in Glasgow, Scotland, when I was around 16-17 years old. I'm 64 now - they're still the best Rock band in the known universe. Thanks, Ian - fantastic videos, mate.
Saw Deep Purple in Chico ca..circa 1970..pioneer day concert..they were great.a cool windy night unual for that time of year..and they opened up with mandrake root..they were phenomenal..my friend was a drummer just loved your playing..being a left ha ded player.Thank you for you You Tube sire.Great.MV..Chico ca.
Thanks for sharing again Mr.Paice. The last show i attended was DP at Hell and Heaven fest in Mexico this year, just before the madness. Stay safe Chief!!!
Thank you sir for doing this. You will always be one of my drum heroes from this little kid from Flint, Michigan. I feel like I’ve had the honor of meeting you. ❤️🥰
The Made in Europe "You Fooled No One"drum solo was my favorite inspiration along with John Bonham's Moby Dick from Zep live growing up as a young drummer.
Legend and one important reason many picked up the sticks,including me!!!Staying healthy and strong and still rocking out these huge drums,is another lessson in attitude and life in general!!!True Gentleman,thank you Mr.Paice!
Peter Criss was a Pearl guy back in the 70's I know but I don't remember what he used his second run. Eric Singer who drums for KISS now is a Pearl artist. Neil Peart was a Tama artist until I want to say the sometime in the 90's I think. Joey Jordison is a Pearl artist also.
I love that he said , (I'm not very good with it) the double base. Class act of a gentleman. One of the best of all time . Cheers from northern Indiana usa
D R U M S O F S T E A L ! Ian Paice is from out of the solar system.. Out of the milky way.. From ANDROMEDA!! And the ''Walk around'' is breathtaking. Great filming.
I love his drumming and I fell into it with "Machine Head" when it came out in 1972... I was 12 years old and it had a huge impact on me... I still listen to it with great pleasure and discover new things all the time. One thing struck me when I began to play drums and had a bit more ideas about rythm and music styles : Ian is certainly a fantastic jazz drummer too as you can hear it on "Lazy". The ride pattern swings in a fabulous way... which only a good jazz drummer can have. Thanks for sharing all these great videos and if Ian reads us, cheers from "Lake Geneva Shoreline".
I've been a fan of yours since the early days of DP Ian. One of my favorite albums is Burn, followed by Machine Head, In Rock and Fireball. I've never had the chance to see you play live due to my own musical aspirations, but if I can I certainly will. You've always been one of my top drummers I've followed, so keep on Space Truckin, and I'll catch you on a tour sometime soon, hopefully.
Thank you for the tour. It was very informative, especially the effect of shell thickness on sound, I'd never thought of that. I just found your channel and I'm catching up on your videos. I want to thank you for the inspiration to pick up the sticks like legions of others when I heard your work on Burn the light went on and I bought my first kit about 3 weeks later. That was when I was 13, next month I turn 58, in all those years I've had a hell of a lot of fun and your to blame for that lol. I am in your debt.
I play paiste 2002 crash 20” (red label) and 22” crash(black label 71’) and Pearl Ian Paice signature snare,the sound is great. Mr Paice is a best drummer!!!
Thankyou Ian! What an education this has been. I'm so impressed by the way Drum Technology has changed over the years and you explain your preferences, so well, based on your own vast experience. 60 + years ago I learned with some velum heads and plywood shells, still it was a start and worked o.k. in the pubs and working men's clubs at the age of 12!! --- in between BINGO sessions!! -- May thanks for your input.
Ah, Ralph, that takes me back. Short set, Bingo. Go to the bar and be shushed since the bloody bingo was more important than the entertainment. Another short set, Bingo. Tiptoeing across the room, going outside to chat. Back in for final set, if lucky some dancers, pack up, crawl home, short sleep and off to work. Strange that we actually enjoyed it all, thinking back.
I started drumming over 50 years ago. I am from the same school of thought. Call me a dinosaur or a throwback, but the greatest rock music was made with big, deep toms.
Maaan I like the fact Ian uses large crashes. I use to use two heavy Zildjian crashes (18" 20" 21" Rock Ride) but my late guitar player friend hated the extra ring they gave. Lol. I still have them since 1985 but I use smaller to large medium Zildjians now.
Thank you for doing this sir. I have a hybrid kit basically because I don't have an endorsement or huge pockets but out of 4 white kits I have I assembled an interesting kit of Pearl, Sonor and Fibes drums and what I like is the different sounds. Because I'm doing covers of many bands I like a mix of cymbals so I do have some small short duration crashes. I like a 2nd bass drum because of the different sound so you get a kind of heart beat instead of 2 identical beats but if was playing clubs I would leave it home and use a double pedal. Your drums sound amazing live over what I call a band that could tone it down a tad, just a tad on the stage volume, but your drums have so much punch especially on the opening of Pictures of Home probably due to those mics, some bands are using triggers and it just sounds weird not like real drums. Thanks again and be well.
When it was a junior high student, on seeing the photograph of the record, I knew the left-handed setting. I became a high school student and was able to see the live concert in Budokan. I think that the set of the true rock star is hard to can see.Thank you Great Ian Paice!
As a performance was one of 1975 not 1972, it might not be the heyday for Deep Purple . But which the live performance of the true Ian Pace was great , and was able to look at the British rock star !
You were till lucky to see him. And we're lucky we can share these experiences. If young drummers, keeping the Rock spirit alive, interest you, you might like Sina Drums on RU-vid.
