Deep Purple - Fireball (Live)

[@chunter5100]

Ian Paice, in my humble opinion, is pretty much the best classic rock drummer who will ever live..his taste, the ability to play those amazing ghost notes, and his shear speed and rhythm is unreal...but that's just my 2 cents...

[@deepinblack1940]

In your humble pie opinion !! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@bwdrums1]

I don't consider any one drummer the greatest that I've ever heard. I put Ian in a group with Bonzo, Stewart Copeland, Alex Van Halen, Neil Peart, among others, all guys whose drum recordings have just made me go 'Wow' and whose playing I find amazing.

[@TAllyn-qr3io]

Ian and Neal Smith are both incredible...how they appear so relaxed but, killing the shit! 🤘🤘🤘

[@flutist4YourOccasion]

@@bwdrums1 Alex Van Halen plays to much on the front of a beat. Ian is as good as anyone gets.

[@Joker-om7ff]

Yeah, his drumming is amazing. In heavy metal, the drummer really makes the whole thing.

Ian Paice, Double Bassdrum. Heaven!

[@toddvandell85]

Yes. Proof is very strong on Fireball that Ian Paice should ALWAYS have been a double kick drummer. Full beast mode here on Fireball. Irony of ironies? Allegedly Ritchie Blackmore was behind Ian being relegated to single kick drummer. And yet. When Ritchie formed Rainbow with Ronnie James Dio? Pretty much every Rainbow drummer played double kick. Except maybe the very first guy on Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow. Cozy Powell was an insane double kick beast. Bobby Rondinelli was a double kick slightly less of a beast than Cozy. And when Blackmore's Knight morphed into the most recent incarnation of Rainbow? Even THAT drummer played double kick. Ritchie is long overdue to apologize to Ian for hamstringing him to one bass drum so badly it's ridiculous. Seriously ridiculous. Just my two cents.

[@euanelliott3613]

Ian Paice is a monster drummer. Inspired by Buddy Rich. Best rock and roll drummer ever in my opinion. Brilliant solos from Roger and Jon. Driving guitar from Ritchie who unselfishly drives it along without a solo. Great vocal from Ian Gillan. Kickass rock.

[@LadySpace_888]

Ian Paice...what a machine. How many songs do you know that keep a beat of that magnitude for the entire song? He makes it look like a cakewalk & doesn't miss a beat!

[@bwdrums1]

+lady space Agreed, and the fact that he probably didn't practice much with the double bass (this is the only song that I know of that he uses it) make it all the more impressive !

[@awmh]

Mo Tucker on Sister Ray.

[@sledzeppelin]

Such a hard working drummer. He keeps the intensity up like that on so many of their songs. Another example is Burn.

[@eSSEPAPIRET1]

As far AS i know, this is The first song which is build around doubble bass drum run. Soon foloved Razamanaz 😎

[@devinowens8232]

How is playing double bass when he only has one kick drum. And dbl bass pedal wasn't invented yet. Dont get me wrong ian pace is one of my favorite drummers of all time but he dont play dbl bass it just sounds like he does. He has half yall fooled with a single foot.

[@florianwolf9380]

One of Purple’s best tracks ! Pacey’s drumming is world class, interesting bass solo by Roger, and Ian’s singing tops it off. Ahh, the good old days, they never fade away...

[@danielmacdonald8349]

I starting drumming when I was 7 years old. I had 2 different drum teachers who raved about me and I took my last drum lesson in 1970 when I was 12 years old - my drum teacher said he had nothing left to teach me. Everyone in the neighborhood use to hang outside my cellar door when I was practicing and telling me how great I was. In 1972 I saw Deep Purple and we sat directly in back of the band. I swear we were so close to Ian Paice I felt I could almost touch him. I NEVER saw anything like him. I was flabbergasted!! I went home and probably didn’t pick up a pair of drum sticks for 6 months. I’m like “I suck”. Definitely put me in my place.

[@terryorr]

Our band played hard rock in the early 70's and worshipped Ian Paice right up there with Ginger Baker, Keith Moon, Carmine Appice and Mitch Mitchell. On Fireball Ian unleashed a killer rock drum intro and threw in some extra jazz drum licks. The first time I heard The Fireball intro in 1971 I wondered how one drummer was able to play everything I was hearing.

[@minseokchoi3022]

Many people mistakenly believe that the early heavy rock of Black Sabbath was the origin of metal. But the beginning of the true metal style is "Hard lovin' man" of Deep Purple's "In rock" album. And the rapid two-bass, the symbol of metal, began in the "Fireball". Deep Purple is the person who pioneered the form of metal.

[@huguessonnic2102]

when I was ten years old, I listened to Smoke on the water on repeat, and then I discovered Fireball around 1979, which became one of my favorite titles of the group, because of its energy. Deep Purple marked my adolescence a lot, and I still can't get enough of it today. They are essential innovators and pioneers of the 60s and 70s. Ian Paice being one of my lifelong mentors, being myself a drummer.

[@905Alive]

this is awesome, this is probably the first hard core double bass drum song, nothing like this had been rcorded before, and this was before double pedals so to do it live Ian needed another bass drum, it's one of the few songs he uses double bass and he rarely needs it because he has an incredibly fast left foot, and here is a video of the roadies bringing out the 2nd bass drum specifically for this one song, this is a great historical drum find, thanks for posting!!!!

[@scarborosasquatchstation1403]

905Alive : I agree the set-up of the 2nd Bass drum by the roadies is a time-piece in itself ! Ian Paice is left-handed , the snare drum is to the right of where he sits , so the fast left foot makes sense here !

[@Gk2003m]

Among ‘rock’ drummers, IMO Paice is in the company of Mitch Mitchell, Mike Shrieve, Carl Palmer, Terry Bozzio, Barrie Barlow. All have speed/chops in excess of Bonham, Appice. Peart and all the other “heavy hitters”. All have incredible versatility and musicality, and can thunder as hard as anyone else. Yes there are many greats, but those six stand above the rest.
