Ian Paice 'Drummers of Note' PART 2

[@IanPaiceDrumtribe]

Hi guys,Ian here, Firstly I want to apologise for the mistake with Michel Petrucciani trio bit. . I said Petruccian”o” -- I fixed it but obviously used the wrong video bit. SORRY!

[@MrMshossain]

No problem we all make mistakes

[@davidecarini6615]

In the video of Petrucciani that you put and mentioned, there is an italian saxophone musician: he is Stefano Di Battista. Fabulous! Wonderful video and live!

[@Roggiedodgie]

I sure wouldn’t have noticed but mistakes are expected and your videos are extremely entertaining.

[@Roggiedodgie]

Btw...I bought the fireball album while in the military and listened to it so much I called my mom and asked her to send me a Robin Hood outfit. That was my brilliant move AFTER downing a bottle of crowne royal whiskey 🥃. She didn’t send it and says that phone call really worried her. I never told her about the whiskey but my headache the next day worried me

[@hamishnicholls6585]

Hey Ian , there’s no Corona in Adelaide South Australia. Coming in to summertime too! ( Just saying ,maybe tell the boys. Always welcome here). Seriously I pray I see you one more time. DP 4 EVA. Have you heard or Rob Hirst Midnight Oils drummer. Awesome and genuinely under rated outside of Australia anyway. And yes I know I’m talking to myself .

Hi Ian you left out another great drummer , Louie Bellson .

[@jemmace2586]

As a Evertonian i refer to drumming and drummer's more often than football! Great all time player's selected by you here, love all of them on hearing recordings of some you've mentioned, the rest were already favourites of mine too. Other modern, great drummer's for me would be Phil Selway from Radiohead, Manu Katche whom for me, most recognisable from his work with Peter Gabriel. Thanks for sharing your opinions and personal thoughts on drumming Via this channel. 👍

[@jemmace2586]

Ps Jeff porcaro and Jim Gordon.

[@VloggingOdisha]

When I first heard the Song Burn. It really blew me away. The roll at the beginning 🙏 OMG. Love from India. Your biggest fan from India. 🙏 Purple for ever ❤️

[@robgalny8574]

Another comment so soon. I saw the Mahavishnu Orchestra with Cobham on the throne many years ago and still remember his impact on me. First off, he is totally ambidextrous and I was mesmerized and secondly, his kits rack toms curved out to where the unheaded bottoms were pointing at the audience. A very memorable evening.

[@paulkennedy4920]

Just as those drummers have inspired you and countless others, so have you, Mr. Paice. Your playing has always been the perfect mix of feel, flash, and what's best for the song. I find myself constantly going back to figure out parts you played on some of my favorite DP songs and it's always an education for me. And, I need to tell you, the roll coming out of the drum break in "Space Trucking" is just incredible. You're one of the greats for sure.

[@horstbaur7797]

Simply wonderful and so diverse in your choice of highlighting drummers. A drumming masterclass in itself. Thank you and oodles of respect from South Africa.

[@jasonread5017]

ian you have chops but after listening to you for the last 40 years what stands out to me is your tone which is so soulful;the touch of how you hit drums with foot or stick..you are musical and a bad ass...love ya..and your beats are so original .

[@oopsydaisy007]

Ian, you have been an inspiration to me for most of my life. I bought Machine Head when it came out (I was 10) and your drumming hooked me. I still play drums every day. You are a class act on and off the drum kit. Thank you Sir.

[@stratcat4450]

Nice to see Billy Cobham on the list. I was privileged to see that line up of the mahavisu at least 3 times then shortly after Billy in a small movie theater on his own, before any of his upcoming great albums. I forget the word for them, but he was playing that kit with the strange cone heads...man did he lay it down! Last year when we had the historic total eclipse well I had to break out the original vinyl of that record an listen to it reminding me of what a great composer he is as well.

[@seekingwisdom8]

With every video you post, my respect and admiration for you increases. I first heard your talent when Deep Purple released Machine Head. At the same time, I had discovered Yes with Bill Bruford. I was only 15 and had very little exposure to Blues style music, and for me, Yes was on the opposite spectrum of the Blues. And to be fair, I was exposed to most of Yes’s music at a live show where they really rocked. Deep Purple rocks in the studio, and live. I didn’t grasp the full extent of your talent until years later after I joined a blues band, forcing me to feel the music more than just listening to it. That was when I realized the Deep Purple music I loved was actually deeply rooted in traditional blues at a faster tempo. Your drumming has always been amazing and an inspiration to me. I still enjoy Brufords work with Yes, among many other drummers. Thank you for sharing your opinion and wisdom.😊

[@loucontino4804]

Jim Keltner, Steve Gadd, Russ Kunkel, Clayton Fillyau, Al Jackson, Ritchie Hayward, Billy Cobham, Shiela E.. Great drummers all!

[@EynshamFUNK]

It don't get much better than you playing Live in Japan album ! you have been my hero since i was a child... thanks for that Ian

[@Cosmic-Mick]

This and the other videos you have made for us Ian are a true gift and very much appreciated. Thanks Ian

[@markmilner842]

Great list, a few surprises, but every one deserves the recognition.

[@owendurkin6292]

Thank you for sharing your musical wisdom Ian. You have such a relatable, genuine passion and such great insight into the history of the instrument we all love, as well as the pioneers who've expressed something unique on the drums. The more we learn, the more we realize how much we have to discover. Thanks again. Stay well good sir.

[@bartrobinson2103]

I'm thoroughly enjoying this Ian. thank you so much!

[@guillaumechabason9606]

All these drummers are fantastic and genius but could they play as well as Ian Paice on Lay down stay down on the DP live in London album 1974 ?

[@robertjacob5dmk3]

dear Ian, you forgot to mention another great drummer from your list of star drummers and he goes by the name ...... Ian Paice

[@giuseppebuscemi179]

Great! Many thanks for sharing, Master. Your influences are especially in drummers who are musicians above all. Yes, musicians with sticks, pedals, drums and cymbals, but musicians at (he)art. After all, the attitude to musicality in general and the attention to the entire history of the drum set transpire from the work done over the years by Ian Paice. And all this despite the style of Deep Purple is linked to a genre.

[@MrFchank]

Every drummer Ian mentioned has influenced me but he has been my biggest influence of all.

[@ovaisnaqvi1965]

Like all the Deep Purple guys, Ian has amazingly eclectic musical taste. And like all genuinely multi-talented people, he’s the first to recognize the talents of other people. Only untalented people project themselves before they talk about others.

[@charlesnolan7602]

Ian, I have seen DP only twice- the Burn tour, and also 2011... also Whitesnake with you and Jon Lord in around 1981. You and Carl Palmer, have not lost any intensity to father time keeper! Anyway, thanks Ian for all of your videos. Your choices for your 14 drummers are spot on- some I have been familiar with, but when you describe how they play- you'd make a great salesman if you weren't working the kit! Thanks Ian for your input here, and thanks for a long excellent career!

[@ЗоранЖивковић-б9в]

His absolute unpredictability in playing, a great gift to never repeat the same transition makes this genius one of the greatest, if not the greatest, drummer of all time.

[@kjc9trader491]

Between this and part 1 - what a wonderful, eclectic, varied, awesome mix of drummers to check out... Shows Your musicality Mr. Paice! Nice to know the variety of genre's and grooves and those drummers that move you...Much (more) Respect!

[@kosonamsuk6116]

Precious information! Thank you Ian :)

[@legacyShredder1]

YES! Any day with an Ian Paice upload is a fantastic day, even if there is doom and gloom while the world is falling apart. On a side note: I've got a theory that Ian is the father of Todd from Todd's Stuff and Todd Cutler. Just sayin'.

[@paulredman9499]

was at the "Tom's" gig, looking at the poster right now. Top man Ian.👍👍

[@danielescanaba596]

Thanks Ian.

[@mumblbeebee6546]

Thank you Ian, especially for pointing out the easily overlooked ones! Not a drummer myself, not even a proper musician, but purely as a listener I remember that Richie Hayward was the first drummer that made me sit up and wonder what the heck was going on. The "Apolitical Blues" from the "Waiting for Columbus" album is ..., well I always thought is was bizarre, but it still works, just about. Talking about being nearly horizontal. Which, according to contemporaries, many musicans were of course in those days ;-) But that does not take away from his wonderful drumming!

[@GianiGighen]

I love Billy, Buddy was out of this world, Carmine is so great, and Bonzo((of course!!),Phil (yeah,Collins), Bill , Stewart but still my favourite is Ian Paice and he always will be. Nobody can help it. :) Words cannot express my gratitude, his drumming is truly part of my life. Thank you mister Ian Paice .

[@MrMshossain]

I am not a drummer but still enjoy your channel and your drumming.

[@randyherbrechtsmeier4796]

Im Glad Ya Had Billy. A Young Tommy Bolin Screams on Spectrum!!! I Still Listen to That LP

[@NoelMay]

Love you made mention of Richie from " little feat " been a big fan for a long time. I want " willin' " played at my funeral ......

[@rafaelzengo5534]

I enjoyed this lecture on the drummers of your fondness. I would also greatly appreciate an episode on your british contemporaries, especially the rockers, like Ginger, Mitch, Keith, Bill Ward, Bonzo, Brufford, anyway, whoever you'd like to talk about in that direction.

[@NoelMay]

Yep agree with that, there was an explosion of great British drummers in that time, made my life complete !

[@stratcat4450]

Especially Mitch Mitchell. He certainly always knew what to do to complete Jimi's music, as well as being a total monster on the drums.

[@rafaelzengo5534]

@@stratcat4450 yep, it would be cool to hear Ian talk about Mitch, if he was a influence on him etc

[@Medogonsama]

Good evening, Mr Ian Paice. When I see your face, I remember Mr John Lord. I've listened many old interviews of yours and Mr Lord, talking about DP albums. He always spoke of you with warmth and deep respect. I miss him much. A great musician and a great man. How do you feel about it? :(

[@pinball1970]

The complete drummer and musician for me, always was.

[@mosephina]

I agree with all of Ian' assertions. At the same time, I watched this video hoping to learn from who I think is one of the greatest drummers of all time...Ian Paice

[@robertcharbonneau2283]

So glad that Richie Haywood from Little Feat is mentioned on that short list by Ian Paice. Certainly on a par with David Garibaldi with TOP. Music from the seventies that sound like it was recorded yesterday.

[@carlalopez4820]

Greetings Ian Paice! There is another drummer of note - Yoyoka! Please don't be a snob. She just released a cover of Burn. Feel, timing, groove, + Personality in spades! Please give her a listen!

[@americalost5100]

My first listen to Gabor Szabo - Dreams. What a wonderful album.

[@mauricelaidler4789]

Thanks for that, Ian. Switched me onto some drummers I never heard of. I was about 12 or 13 when my mate and I were both trying to 'woo' a girl a year older than us. My mate could see me trying to pinch who he thought was his girlfriend. He sneakily put on Deep Purple on Rock to distract me. It had just been released. First ever rock album I had ever heard. It blew me away. Never heard anything like it. And I have to say I had never heard drumming like it I was gobsmacked by the whole thing and listened to it at least twice over. Crafty beggar got the bird but I discovered Ian Paice and Deep Purple. I forgave him. Thanks again.

[@Eurynomea]

My aunt was a huge fan of Steve Gad. She incorporated his brush technique in her drum style. She would absolutely shine when she used brushes. Love LOVE Mahavishnu....always been a Jan Hammer fan but I’m going to revisit them to throw some focus on the drummer now.

[@ronnienose8608]

Years ago I worked in a music shop and we helped put on a Billy Cobham clinic. Obviously, he's an amazing player but also a lovely man. The next day he came into the shop to thank us for our hard work. He didn't have to do that, but it meant a great deal to us that he thought of us. I really wanted to do a clinic with Paicey but was told "I doubt we'd be able to afford him!"

[@martinlawrence8427]

Loving these videos Ian...am stopping and starting, switching to Spotify to listen to the tracks, an education and rare feast of musical drumming! More please!!!!

[@rozzgrey801]

Always loved your drumming style, Ian. Talking of musical drummers, have you heard Gavin Harrison?

[@davidecarini6615]

Grazie mille sempre!!

[@markfuller8047]

Thanks, Ian!

[@highlights5397]

Love your list, Ian. But, I was hoping you would mention the late, great Tony Williams. Check out the tune "Fred" from The Tony Williams Lifetime. Pure Genius. Btw ... there are two songs that I absolutely love your drumming on .... Chasing Shadows and You Fool No One. Just wonderful.

[@MichaelMaxwell747]

I cannot speak for anyone but it is quite an honor to be on that piece of paper among those names. Karen Carpenter was also very hood in my opinion.

[@markkugs6622]

It is such an ultimate shame that music today doesnt compare.

[@jasonbroad5478]

Great list Ian....if I could be so bold as to add one more name on the list it would be Hal Blaine. Hal played on virtually everything that came out of a studio in the 60's and his ability to play with anyone and in any style was astounding. His work with the Beach Boys one day and then Sonny and Cher the next. He provided the beat for so many artists and so many songs.

[@sventextor1309]

Awesome Jason! Hal flew so under the radar....I think because of the sheer amount of studio work this man had to his credit the listening public had no idea what a "monster" Hal Blaine was....I would be very surprised if any studio musician with regards to drums would have more credits.

[@nickclube295]

So good to see Richie Haywood in the list - I remember being knocked out by his drumming.

[@umajunkcollector]

I totally concur, and add as 16 Sheila's dad. Ian is #1 for me. I like Latin drummers a lot. John Denzmore has that touch, simple and seeet.

[@TimCB900F]

Of note you listed Al Jackson of Booker t and the MG's. He does have a great sound. I just recently collected all the Booker t albums. Great stuff! Love your channel!

[@marshalldavidson8834]

A tiny correction, Mr. Paice. Roger Hawkins of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section (The Swampers) played on Wilson Pickett’s version of “Mustang Sally” at FAME studios rather than Stax Records. He sadly passed away in recent months but I’m sure you know he was on many 60’s/70’s R&B hits with Aretha Franklin (RESPECT, Chain of Fools, etc.) Wilson Pickett (Land of One Thousand Dances, Funky Broadway), Staples Singers (I’ll Take You There, Respect Yourself) and many many more hits. RIP Roger.

[@kjc9trader491]

...Let's not forget to mention Clyde Stubblefield - from James Brown's Band... The most sampled drummer on the planet... He was as inventive and unique as they come...

[@stevo7730]

Hi Ian, loving it you sharing your life experiences and influences ........... It would be great if you would let us know your thoughts on drummers who may have been influenced from you ......... Chad Smith and Lars from Metallica are a couple of my favorites, both unique playing styles, fantastic drummers with great feel

[@regaltip8A]

Totally overlooked player- Mark Craney.

[@905Alive]

Ian this is amazing, Billy Cobham, he's just incredible and that first solo album you mentioned also has Tommy Bolin on it but there's a couple of other tracks, look on youtube Billy Cobham Puffin' Stuff and Pleasant Pheasant, I believe he invented the speed double bass beats with those...I STILL CAN'T DO THEM, ... and Richie Hayward, huge study of mine, some drummers study drums, I study drummers, you and Richie have probably given me more than any others, to me he's a controlled educated Keith Moon, he follows the music while keeping time, Dixie Chicken took me a long time to feel, just this past covid time I fell into the groove of the live version, I feel fortunate to have seen him live, check a tune by them called Hate To Lose Your Lovin and check out his fills running in the verse and then rolling through the chorus, it's wild, been working on that for years-- kzbin.info/www/bejne/eafEZ3ipbs6asJY, and Shelia E is mind blowing, her current band is so tight, but check out that LF tune and let me know what you think, RIP Richie

[@Brummiemartin]

I hope there's a Part 3 to this series. I'd love to hear what you have to say about the likes of Keith Moon, Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, Ginger Baker, Jukka Nevalainen and some of the current crop of drummers.

[@stephenhylander9395]

I think he has, by not mentioning them. These are more his peers than influences. Just my opinion, but, I would like to hear about them as well, especially Bonham.

[@karlreinke]

I like Jukka. Not a particularly technical drummer but definitely a theatrical one. Always in time but his body language says as much about what he's playing as anything. Too bad he's not active any longer.

[@karlreinke]

I'd like to hear what Ian has to say about Danny Carey and Gavin Harrison.

[@Brummiemartin]

Ian, love your work mate, legend. This was a great list of drummer, I would love to her your opinion on Levon Helm though. I'm not sure where he would rank in any list, but he's a favourite of mine and as a musical drummer I'd put him not far off Ringo.

[@stevenally8015]

I'm an Aussie but I would like to add some great British rock drummers to your list Ian (you are already on it, of course): Simon Kirke, Jerry Shirley, Micky Waller, Charlie Watts, Ginger Baker, Kenny Jones and, of course, John Bonham. Some are obvious choices (Baker, Bonham, Jones and Watts) but Kirke, Shirley and Waller are often unsung examples of great drummers with feel, power, and musicality IMHO.

[@WWAWHTR]

Would love your thoughts on the drummers and percussionists that worked with Frank Zappa.

[@guillaumechabason9606]

Colaiuta's playing on the live Buffalo album of Zappa is extraterrestrial

[@gordy3714]

Great stuff Ian, it must have been great growing up in the sixties playing a musical instrument, what do you think of John Hiseman.

[@markkugs6622]

Im assuming Ian was talking to us about drummers that were great but mostly more obscure but wow cant imagine why the great John Bonham wasnt mentioned?

[@umajunkcollector]

OR KEITH MOON,? And Ron Bushy from inagaddafavida! lol

I fell in love with Deep Purple in 1978 at the age of 13 and started playing drums in 1981 thanks to you ! Learned for 5 years in a famous drumschool in Paris and have been playing in bands and orchestras all my life. Totally agree about the drummers you picked out here. There is one drummer not many people talk about and I don't know why. His name is Bernard PURDIE the most recorded drummer in the world. He's on 4000 albums ! Played with James BROWN, Aretha FRANKLIN, BB KING, Miles DAVIS... The guy just grooves so well ! He invented "The Purdie Groove" copied by John BONHAM and Jeff PORCARO on Rosanna. And "My Locomotion". Check him out here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4rJiKOLq9l9ntU Best Steven.

[@12groney]

So I'm not crazy, Ritchie Hayward was always a drummer of note for his groove playing but he could push the throttle forward also. Check out High Roller the first track on Time Loves A Hero LP. That's as progressive as it gets, fusion like, not their typical style. They were just an amazing band period.

[@patricktiglao]

The interlude of Tripe face boogie also features some progressive elements. Rip Mr. Hayward

[@12groney]

@@patricktiglao Yes, also "The Fan" on Feats Don't Fail Me Now and Hoy-Hoy, which is better. When I was younger I could actually play most of the song but would get somewhat lost during the guitar jam in the middle. The downbeat gets lost in there, but Ritchie doesn't. Does anyone know what time signature this song is or is it several. I don't understand how they all stay in sync, it is said that the first two rows at a Little Feat concert was all musicians trying to figure out what the hell they were doing!

[@kikiu2619]

Steve Gadd is playing eight notes on the snare. It's a fast tempo, but it is only eight notes.- Strange, Paice can't figure that out!

[@kjc9trader491]

I don't think it's the technical aspect of what notes he is playing - It's about Gadd's beautiful feel of Latin / Samba / Groove --- His FEEL.... What he does with those 8th notes... He plays a lot of what I term "sideways grooves", where he may turn the groove around, and play / lead differently with the left hand, throw accents in at "odd places, to create these very unique feels... It is actually very difficult to replicate... Anyone can learn and play "50 Ways" - technically - sticking -wise... But can you make it FEEL like Gadd??... Dave Weckl is another that has that ability...
