When I was a little kid, my father, who was a musician, late at night would make me sit and watch over and over again a documentary about Deep Purple that he had in VHS. He didn't oblige me, I was always pretty happy. In this documentary there were huge chunks of California Jam. I was always mesmerized at Ian Paice's drum solo. I couldn't believe how he could keep one time with his hands, and another with the kick drum, until he matched both tempos. I thought he must have had two brains to manage two tempos at once. My dad (a bass player) always told me - listen to Ian Paice. That's the drummer. I'm glad he showed that to me. To this day, when I think of a Drummer, it's Ian Paice I think of.

Every time during my life, discussing about who is the best drummer (in rock music), I say - Ian Paice. And I always had a one main argument - he is first of all a musician and only then a drummer. He plays music, not pounds a beat. And now, watching this video, I understud how right I always was.

With Ian It sounds deep powerful above all else, something I seldom hear, it's musical. I'm not saying he is the greatest. I am saying most importantly his sound connects with me in the way an emotional singer does or the great SRV did with his guitar. I need to feel a connection with music . Something you don't expect to get musically with drums to the same extent. Thank you Ian. Keep the music rolling.

This is a really great video. I am going to watch Part II but I already can say: "I expected these choices and these comments". I expected that because from the 70s, when I started playing the Deep Purple LPs, I obviously felt how much Ian Paice was swinging and rocking at the same time, giving the music power and precision, but with also a beautiful swinging flow, sometimes evident, sometimes subtle (and it's not only a matter of subdivisions). So finding Earl Palmer and Joe Morello there confirmed my sensations and that's been like a present. Thank you, Sir. But one must say that also finding Ringo is not a surprise, because while rocking and swinging, Ian Paice knows how to serve the song, the music, knows what to do and especially what not to do, when to do it and especially when not to do it. And when you have great hands and feet, the responsibility has to be even higher.
@owendurkin62924 жыл бұрын
The trinity of iconic rock drummers for me has always been Paice, Mitchell and Bonham. If there’s a tier two of rock drummers who inspired me it would be Appice, Baker Barrymore Barlow and Moon the loon. Paice combined power and groove with precision in a way that I’d never heard before. It is still a great thrill each time I here those timeless signature licks. To have his level of power and that touch is such a special gift. Hearing from the source which players helped him hone his craft is beyond inspiring

It is really an honor for Ian Paice to have this channel so we can learn and grow! How many times through the years have I heard that Ringo is not that good and hearing this from musicians!
