[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Both great for me Roger!

[@vasdim8124]

It's obvious to us drummers that Paice > Bonham, with respect to the also great Bonham. As Portnoy very accurately said, there isn't such a thing as a best drummer, but favourite drummer! I would add that this has to do with listeners who are not musicians and pick as "best" drummer the one of their favourite band. For example you can see best drummer polls where Ringo Starr is above Paicey, Portnoy, Bonham etc, while he obviously isn't better! For sure Ringo may be someone's favourite drummer! On the other hand, we the musicians are able to judge if someone is better than another! That's the case for many people!

[@earlgrey691]

I suspect Zepps sheer body of quality product and Bonhams essential role in that realm underpins his own justified elevation.Paice had a higher workload with DP with their hard/cosmic stage workouts but had less prominence compered to the others maybe.He just did what needed to be done in his low-key-high-talent style.A musical wizard essentially.

[@340rps]

I think it comes down to different styles of music. But this solo was awesome.

[@donramonramirez5141]

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Couldn't agree more! More on the way too!

[@kenchristie9214]

On the original 1973 Made In Japan vinyl, Ian got a 64-beat using one bass pedal on the Space Trckhin' track. I bought the CD and was absolutely pissed it was another version.

[@thetruthhurts6652]

Back in 1970 when DP was recording Fireball the Who was in the same studio. Paice borrowed Moons bass drum and played the intro to Fireball on double bass. Would that make him the first drummer to use a double bass?

[@chrisjohnzo5235]

ian paice is also the only member of deep purple that has played on every album

[@Relayer6a]

I read a story about Ian Paice that his parents were classically trained musicians and they started him out playing violin. He used to flip the violin over on his lap to tap out the timings for the song he was learning. He would kind of get lost in what he was doing and more enjoyed tapping on the violin than bowing it. I don't remember exactly how it happened but he ended up getting into percussion and drumming instead of playing violin. So I believe he received proper lessons and training for percussion. Which probably explains his chops and classic jazz technique.

[@jamesraleigh4299]

He played drums in one of his Dad's bands in his younger days...

[@stuartanguish5111]

[@josemariapercebalmorlanes1752]

Ian was widely influenced by Buddy Rich, and this jazzy style fitted perfectly with DP with Lord and Blackmore in keyboards and guitar, two extremely clean and rhythmic musicians, and also the groovy bass of R. Glover. A good one to see more of Paice stuff is "Fireball".

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I'll definitely do Fireball José!

[@chrisegbertky]

You can tell the image is not flipped due to the Ludwig tag on the bass drum. This is a man who sold out the Buddocan venue in Japan during the day. This shows his majestic ✨️ talent in all its glory. This is also the man who did a spontaneous plug for Yoyoka's Sparkling video saying that it was an impressive drumming composition and performance regardless of the drummer's age.

According to Wikipedia: "He is primarily left-handed with a left-handed drum-kit set-up and uses the matched-grip approach. He is well known for his extremely fast and smooth single and double-stroke rolls as well as single bass pedal speed. He did however perform once with a double-bass setup on the title track of the Fireball album and was performed live occasionally. He is also known for perfecting the one-handed roll as demonstrated on a Drummerworld video." Ian has been with Deep Purple since 1968 but also worked with Whitesnake and Paul McCartney.

Lefty Paicey is the best and a very kind man: I met him in 2012. He came to Italy for a little gig with a local Deep-Purple-Cover band. He was the guest at a private party before the night show. One of the dreams of my musical life is been accomplished!

[@jglasernyc]

I met Ian Paice a few years ago, really nice guy. I told him that I was a drummer as well and was just listening to the Mule from Made in Japan. He told me that his solo on that LP was the best performance, so check that recording out. @ notes about his left Ludwig kit, his rack tom was custom built, it was a 14 by 14 drum split in half. His ride cymbal is stacked on the same stand as his crash cymbal. Ian did play double kick on the song Fireball but mostly a single kick and pedal.

[@martianshoes]

After Steve Morse joined the band, he called Paice a “great, heavy Ringo”. One of my consistently favorite drummers to LISTEN TO back in the 70s. His intro to Fireball stands the test of time for originality and fierceness.

[@martianshoes]

Keith Moon called Ian Paice “boring”….lol.

[@michael-pn9po]

Ian Paice is a lefty - influenced by Buddy Rich - he has his own you-tube channel if you want to check out more. Deep Purple were (and are) a strange amalgam of prog & hard rock - but basically an instrumental band with vocals. In 1972 there were only a handful of drummers who could sustain an extended 'musical' drum solo - John Bonham, Carl Palmer, Bill Bruford and Ian Paice were the main ones that spring to mind.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Great input here Michael. Thank you!

[@PurpleHounding]

He does use a double kick pedal on tracks like "Hey Cisco" but the most incredible thing about Paicey, is he does it all with only one lung.

Yes he does now use a double kick but I'm certain in this drum solo era it's a single.

LONG LONG OVERDUE reaction on The Chief, Ian Paice (yes he's a lefty). I will tell you on thing Andrew. After you have listened to the entire work of this man, you will be an enriched teacher. You hit the hammer on the nail. He has a jazzy groove and swing combined with enough power (not as much as Bonham), that makes him one of a kind. Highlight for me are The Mule and 20 minutes of magic in Space Truckin, the version of Made in Japan 1972 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHnOoKeth5abrtk. This man has seen it all and has played with them all. At this moment Deep Purple are touring. A week ago he shared footedge of a new Deep Purple song '7 and 7' kzbin.info/www/bejne/baOyZYmDrJV3fKs. In a couple of weeks he will be 74 but he still deliver the goods. Finally the most important thing: you cannot find a kinder and more generous man than Ian Paice. He also recommended Yoyoka's Sparkling in a special video message on You Tube. As already commented Burn is also from Deep Purple. Together with Bonham, Baker & Moon he belongs on the Mount Rushmore of old school rock. We all know the power of Moon. But if you want to see a Jazz skilled drummer combined with heroinic ferocious power, Ginger Baker is the answer. There still is a lot of studying to do☺. Thank you so much that you have given The Chief a place on your channel!

Yeah , fantastic drummer . Left handed . 1 up 2 down . The first 45rpm record I ever played was Black Night with Speed King on the b side . I was probably 5 or 6 , then I heard Fireball and couldn't fathom what the heck was going on with the drum intro . Everything from that point was heavy rock for me . Then prog etc a bit later .. I have my mum's singles collection to thank for my music taste. When she passed I was given her record player and records. At an age when I should have been listening to nursery rhymes I had Purple , Beatles, Bowie ,Sabbath , and many more bands who were current or just recent ( beatles) ... These records inspired me to learn instruments . Peace and love brother ✌💚

[@rolfholmstrom1696]

He´s a leftie. Back in -72 he played a Ludwig 14x6,5" Supra, 13 16 and 18" toms and a single 24x14" bassdrum. He "stacked" 2 crashes on 1 stand by drilling up the hole on the bottom cymbal and fitting a cup and washer on the bottom part of the stand, much like Peart did for most of his career. The Mule drum solo on Made in Japan was one of my greatest inspirations as a budding drummer, in those days mostly a drummer in my head and occasionally on pots, pans and footresters and, when allowed to, getting a go on one of the kits owned by drummers my father used to play with. I was 10 at the time. Ringo, Bonzo, Paicey...

In 2018 in Warrington near Manchester Nicko McBrain hosted ‘An Evening with Ian Paice’, with Nicko interviewing Ian and later there was a demo by both drummers. Re Jazz influenced - you are absolutely right. He said that big band jazz was the music in the house. The movies of Krupa, then Buddy Rich / Louis Bellson. His dad played piano / organ, and he started gigging with him playing at dances etc (foxtrot, tango etc). His dad would let him get on with a solo whilst he went to the bar for a drink, and sometimes he had to drive his dad home (underage). His cymbals are set up in a similar way to Krupa and Rich too. Really nice guy too. He and Nicko stayed and met & signed autographs with the audience after. He also mentioned the Made in Japan kit - the Ludwig Spatkle was borrowed by his neighbour’s son and he never saw it again! What a memorable evening seeing the hero who started me playing ! For me he outshines Bonzo both technically and in musicality. Many thanks for the video ! - from North Wales UK!! 🥁🥁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🥁🥁

[@dferris7767]

At the time, Paice was not a double kick player. Although, I have this entire concert on DVD. This was also before the invention of the double kick pedal. But, a second bass drum is brought onstage for the song "Fireball" which he did record with two kicks. But, for this solo, I believe he is only using a single kick. For me, Bonzo, Paicey and Carmine Appice are my trinity for 70's hard rock drummers.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

It's the holy trinity!

[@benhinds2971]

I like how he keeps his arms close to the drums and used his wrists. I've seen that cybal set up. 2 cymbals on one stand.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

He's all class and flow Ben It looks like you aren't subbed!? Help me hit 100K! kzbin.info

[@stephenord3403]

Ian played a silver sparkle Ludwig super classic in the early days. Was a young drummer and desperately wanted the same kit. 67 now and still got it

[@neokio.f]

you got the best live solo on The Mule, I love that concert album and I also love the song. Next song from Fireball album, Fools made me see, this band can do drama and surprise in hard rock song writing. Not forgetting Demons Eye.😊

[@digimurtal]

I remember hearing the entire machine head album as i bought it on cd 30 years after its making and getting my head blown of...

[@jamesraleigh4299]

You MUST listen to Ian on Deep Purple's "Burn", "Lay down, Stay Down", "Highway Star", "Space Trucking'", "Rat Bat Blue".... Really too many great performances to list here....

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I will James!

[@upyours574]

I got to see him on the Burn tour from behind the kit when I was 14. Pretty amazing to say the least. Paice, Bonham, Ward! No one can touch them in hard rock.

[@carlhaydock1787]

Cozy?

[@upyours574]

@@carlhaydock1787 Cosy Powell yes! I was talking more of the first wave of hard rock drummer's. Cozy was another monster drummer no doubt.

[@mrgmusicclass]

MORE IAN PAICE!!! MORE DEEP PURPLE!!!!!

[@brewstergallery]

The mystery cymbal stand on the right hand side of the kit has a cymbal laying on the lower tube with felts and another on the top a la Ginger Baker. I did this too back then because stands were skinny enough. I´ve seen early clips of Louis Bellson with that set up too which brings me to your BD question. Louis was the first double BD in like 1938 ? then there was Rufus Jones, Sam Woodyard, Ginger B, Carmine Appice, Jon Hiseman, and others. Ian has only one BD during this solo as always but they bring out a 2nd one for him to play Fireball during the encore. An amazing inspirational drum master and musician. Thanks for this Andrew.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks Janet! Yes I was aware of Bellson's innovations. I was thinking more double pedal as opposed to 2 bass drums.

[@brewstergallery]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums Hey Andrew I forgot to mention my name is Ned. Janet is my wife but we use the same account. Thanks for clarifying but I don´t think there were double pedals on a single kick until the mid 80´s ?

[@marcrogers1051]

I do this on my set up currently.

[@brewstergallery]

@@marcrogers1051 Where did you get the skinny stands ? Are they new or vintage ?

[@marcrogers1051]

@@brewstergallery I'm pretty sure that only vintage stands are thin enough at the top to fit through a cymbal. Most vintage stands are like this. I use a premier Lockfast stand. I'm a collector as well as a player so I've found a few on Ebay.

[@metalstorm7506]

Ian Paice is left handed and he used two bass drums for some songs, like “Fireball “, yes, back in 1971. This song is proto- speed metal almost a decade before “Aces of spades” and “Rapid Fire” They play this song on this concert as well but the roadies bring the second bass drum later on the gig. During the solo for the “Mule”, he’s playing with only one bass drum and a single pedal

[@loicetienne7570]

If I remember correctly, Ian did not use two bass drums on Fireball in 1971, but he may well have done so later.

[@metalstorm7506]

@@loicetienne7570 He definitely used a second bass drum even on this particular gig but I don’t know how it was in the studio durin the album recordings. It sounds like there’s a double bass action but who knows for sure

[@loicetienne7570]

@@metalstorm7506 Yes, I may be mistaken about the details, perhaps he had just told that he was able to perform it with a single bass drum, but that he eventually chose to use two. I read the other comments, where it is explained much better.

[@ulfremper9068]

You might be interested in hearing Ian was playing with the Buddy Rich orchestra a couple of years ago.

[@jamesraleigh4299]

Growing up I used to work on Ian Paice's parts nearly around the clock! At one point I even could nail Ian's "The Mule" solo off the Made In Japan live album. Like you were taken aback by the speed of his one foot, I too had that kind of speed. When I played "You Fool No One" (paradiddles between the hands and foot), the jam section in "Stage Kind of Woman" (during the breakdown section Ian does kick quadruplets on one foot as part of a beat at about 140 bpm) and parts of The Mule for my drum teacher as an eleven year-old, I completely freaked him out -- he was asking me how my right foot got so fast!! I simply replied with "Ian Paice"!!! : )

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

No double kick from Ian Paice. He only used it on the “Fireball” number, where the roadie carried an extra drum in. His trademark these days are his one hand drumrolls.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Great info thanks Kasper

[@1099Kramo]

Paice stated that he borrowed the extra bass drum from Keith Moon.

[@mrew42]

Great solo - massive underrated is mr Paice. Except by those in the know :)

[@NaimJl]

The whole Made in Japan album by Deep Purple is a masterpiece. Incredible band overall!

[@skyscraper7474]

But this one is from scandinavian nights..

[@NaimJl]

@@skyscraper7474 I know…

[@stuartkennedy7362]

One of my first albums, and still one of the greatest live albums ever. Check out Gillan's 'duel' with Blackmore, too!😀

[@robiandolo]

I don't know about video's but I recommend listening to Made in Japan. To me it's the greatest live recording ever.

[@larteonceagain]

He is that fast without double kick. But he uses two bass drums for one song and that is Fireball ( they play that in this concert mounting the second bass drum just for that song. And when they recorded Fireball he actually went into another studio and borrowed Keith Moons bass drum.

[@bojancrnogorac358]

Dear Andrew since I start playing drums during the war because of tis guy (still has special place in my heart :)) I can tell U a lot of information about him but for now he is lefty and he played single kick. Now days he use double kick pedal but back then single except on fireball where he uses other kick drum from Keith Moon :). One recommendation for a song to hear is You fool no one. God bless..

[@Splingie]

Paice is a lefty! He played single kick and was that fast with one foot. You can compare Bonham to Paice, not the other way around. There is a demo reel on youtube with Paice doing a one handed roll. He is fast, he is accurate and he is brilliant.

[@iancunningham5576]

I am a drummer. 47 years. In truth I chose drums because of Ian Paice,'s drumming. First shot came to me at age 10 the Fireball album. I'm a Paicey lifer. The chief is the surviving king

[@iancunningham5576]

Oh yeah....single kick brother

[@rickandgen]

Yes, Hard Rock, not prog. Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin are considered the Unholy Trinity of hard rock and Metal!🤘 Three of the best drummers of the era.

[@ImaDrummer55]

Yes sir Ian is left handed. I have always loved him. He is so fast and clean too. You should also check out Pictures of Home and his solos in Space Trucking too. Just Amazing !!!

[@sharkzf6]

Yes, Ian Paice is a leftie and is mostly self-taught and doesn’t practice - in the classic sense of practice that is! There’s a video out their, very recent, where he talks about it... 😎

[@jetwashmcintosh]

Ian ran his ride with a crash directly above on his right. Pretty much still does to this day but just via a boom now.

[@Glen.Black.]

That was amazing! Ian is a really cool guy. Besides the reaction video he did of YOYOKA's "Burn" cover, not sure if you know he did a 3 way colab of "Space Trucking" with YOYOKA and Sina. It's available on his channel for $5. Well worth the price of admission. This is his video advertisement of it, gives just a small taste. "Ian Paice feat. Yoyoka & Sina" kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX-Qmmdsl899adU. But the coolest thing he did was a 2 min "advertisement" specifically for YOYOKA's new song "Sparkling". When someone of his caliber does this for an up and coming professional drummer, you know they have high expectations for their future. How cool is it that he took the time to make that video! Thanks for the comprehensive reaction, as always!

[@PaulSteinmayer]

Ian Paice is absolutely one of the greatest living drummers!!! And yes, he's a lefty. Single kick, and he had the fasted kick foot in existence!!!

[@markhawman8813]

One of the greatest. And the only true original left in Deep Purple.

[@stuartkennedy7362]

Yeah maybe...but Evans and Simper weren't around long, so Gillan and Glover have been there for, like, 50-plus years....But you are correct: Ian Paice is the ONLY constant member of the band.
