Paiste Artist Impressions: IAN PAICE with Formula 602 Modern Essentials

[@stevenstorm9824]

I have never missed a Deep Purple concert. In or around Phoenix Arizona. A few years ago my brother passed from cancer. He was a great drummer and learned to play drums from you and your great style. My wife and I were at your Deep Purple show a couple of days after his passing. Some kind of sprit connection between us because after the concert you reached over some people in front of me and handed me both of your drum sticks. I looked up to God and said, For You Brother. Love you Ian. You touched all of our Hearts. Steven Storm.

[@Breznak]

I'm not even a drummer and I could watch this all day. Ian is just mangnificent.

[@seppoinnanen5577]

A true gentleman and honest in what he likes and doesn't. Props for the great Ian "paiste" Paice :)

[@altie29]

I love his obsession with big cymbals, haha. When he switches to the 15" hats.. "Now we're talking"

[@samirait-kaci-gf3bn]

I hate big cymbals they are awful

[@ianjphil]

That 22" Ride has got to be the holy grail of modern rides. Ridiculously good!

[@bohergoy]

I agree Mate. Its probably the best ride cymbal I have ever played!

[@blodekont5458]

Humble honest man, and the only Deep Purple member from start to present day!

[@samirait-kaci-gf3bn]

I like this man. A real connoisseur.

[@davidfanucci8339]

Love his groove and his love for large cymbals.

[@drummerw17]

Excellent cymbals. I am totally convinced definitely!!!! Thanks Paiste Cymbals and excellent drummers friends.

[@loucontino4804]

Ian's choices are pretty consistent from line to line, he like 24 or 22 rides and 20 crashes with 15 hats. That 8" splash thigh was killer!

[@bohergoy]

Can't beat a good splash thigh!

[@joaodepaula]

Years of stage, year of true experience! Amazing!

[@drumsanddrumming]

I got the 22 ride and the 20 crash, wonderful

[@zepedrorock]

Paiste rides are absolutely superb! I use a Sabian AA Heavy Ride, but my grail ride would definitely be the discontinued Signature Dark Metal Ride. Been dreaming of it since I was a kid.

[@Champane97]

My favourite Paiste Ride is, well lets just say I'm split between the 24in Giant Beat & the 24in 2002 Big Ride. But after hearing this Formula 602 Modern Essentials 22in Ride, (in fact ALL the cymbals Ian used at the end when he jammed) I'm won over with these 602 Modern Essentials. They sound so sweet!!!

[@MrNickDrummer]

I have a 22" Signature Dark Metal Ride. Nope, not for sale. I play it on my 'Avalon' drum cover.

[@paistekid]

@@Champane97 The 2002 Big Ride is basically a 24”GB on steroid! I use both of them exclusively but when I need a more traditional ride sound I’d swap them out for the 2002 24” Ride 👍🏾

[@loganjenkins5447]

I like big cymbals too. Or at least dark cymbals, which usually comes with size. I play a 14" K top hat with a ZHT mastersound on bottom, 17" and 19" Wuhan NT crashes and 21" HHX groove ride. I spent months putting that combo together and I love all of them.

[@marciashiraishi5891]

Ian Paice, the best drummer! Love you, dear 💗

[@josephalvarez4131]

Such a talented musician lov e hearing him play

[@marcogman8905]

Once he hit the bigger china, I instantly heard the ending of Highway Star.

[@franckcascales]

Hello Christian, The Formula 602 Modern Essentials is just perfected for me:-) Thanks to PAISTE and to you Christian:-)

[@drumsanddrumming]

I just bought the 22" ride and a 18" crash

[@misfit2022]

I like a 10” splash but I agree on the 22” ride. I like a 16” and 18” inch crash. The 15” hi hats very nice. Studio engineers tell me the brightness of the Paiste can be hard to handle in the studio and darker cymbals work better but Zildjian just don’t suit my playing. I am a creature of habit Pearl and Paiste.

[@jeffarellano1013]

That was the best description of cymbal sounds I have ever herd .

[@nicodrumsheaven]

MAESTRO IAN PAICE !!! LARGA VIDA A DEEP PURPLE AGUANTE PAISTE

[@brelfpv1437]

In the past, I saw a set in the Paiste catalog where several types of gongs, bells, and disc cymbals were hung on a rack, and I wanted it but couldn't afford it. Now I regret not having acquired it.

[@drumrnva]

That 22" ride really does it for me.

[@67davbeav]

It's so amusing to hear an 18" china referred to as "small". Although I pleased to hear these quality cymbals, I am thrilled to hear Paice demonstrate his razor-sharp technique and masterful touch. This guy can do anything but suck.

[@lucianisidro]

Really? I have a 20" RUDE China - which is a little one-dimensional, but LOUD - and I would never consider anything smaller. If (when) I buy a second one, it will probably be a 22" B20 (Paiste of course) - as I would appreciate more depth and tonal complexity. So a 602 Essential would fit the bill. The best part of £500 though - ouch.

[@toxievope3617]

When he struck the crash cymbals I thought the 16" sounded fantastic.

[@philippepouliot9448]

Thank you ! Help a lot !

[@danlc95]

Give me 13" hats, 17 & 18" crashes, a 22" ride and I'm happy. I'd rather go up in weight than dimension.

[@HadEnough745]

4:03 he's right..the smaller crash just doesn't sound as good as the larger ones..

[@daveh9335]

A Great, and underrated, percussionist.

[@xsydor26]

I wish I could shop that kind of selection . My city hardly has any paiste :-(

[@johannandelstadh3240]

Curious- he said his first meeting with Paiste was 1971- what did he play before?

[@alexhuamani6373]

Grande IAN PAICE..........

[@jarrahdrum]

Paice cymbals are great

[@derek5168]

It makes sense that Ian paice plays paiste (Ian paiste)

[@bibop969]

its funny, when i see these lefties play my brain malfunctions. being lefthanded myself but learned drumming the other way...

[@danielbritton8588]

I got to say, All cymbals that I have found or used that were spectacular were Zildjian. I have had good Paiste cymbals also, but, the cream lies in Zildjian. Just my taste & opinion.

[@Kombi-1]

Yas!

[@bull716]

Very nice 👌

[@aytonkaleb]

IAN PAICE 🤯🤯

[@rhythmista7707]

He used the original formula 602 in the early days of purple, before he and many others switched to 2002..I'm currently torn between the 18 crash in this series, and the 18 signature dark energy..

[@Stevo_Drums]

Not a Paiste guy, but I am a Paice guy

[@drumtracksdirect]

The video lists Ian at the end as playing a 20" china, but the only china sizes in this line are 18" and 22"...must be the 22".

[@AB--]

But he prefers 2002, isn't it?

[@micky470]

8:58 Jeff Porcaro Grove!!

[@haydenwilliamson6747]

I don’t get how Ian uses a china when he likes a really long sustain in a cymbal. He uses these massive crash cymbals to get that nice sound we all know from deep purple songs. I know he explains it in this video. Maybe I just don’t hear it but like he said, we all like different things. Cool video

[@bbdrms7283]

These 602s are B8?

[@SONORSQ2guy]

Why doesn’t Ian drop a drumstick like Vinnie Colaiuta?

[@gmorton916]

haha

[@ArthaxtaDaVince777]

*DELICIOUS*

[@theobreakspear3323]

Why has nobody commented on the fact that deep purple apparently only use stacks with “100 watts” of power? 😂😂😂

[@peteryyz43]

Vie it iz alvayz Chermans who are to be interview zis famuz peoplez?

[@SammySinOfficial]

As far as Paiste is a swiss company, i think this guy is from switzerland and not germany ;)

[@d2drumer]

Ian Paice the Master!

[@nazzare79]

Love the 18" crash but I will not pay 350 euro for a crash...I just have to find the closest thing on Turkish cymbals.

[@SammySinOfficial]

4:00 ….. nothing more to say…

[@rlpd5218]

Perfect accent to pronounce the company name

[@hugolafhugolaf]

Plot twist, Ian Paice's real is Ian Paiste.

[@lancelove9700]

A line of girls jumping up and down in thier uniforms. The drum is them standing. The cymbals are Thier skirt as they reach the peak of Thier projected jump up. They likely also kicked thier feet up. Boom mic. Where does your kit end or begin? Why is it called a fill? What's the actual quantifiable size of a fill? Standard? What about MY wrists?

[@lancelove9700]

Become the clapper. Resonant imaging field obliques. Graphic resonant systems and stimulation for sound design and projection metering and control. Instead of volume use field dynamics. No sound in the booth just a sonic array of field energy of the drums being played. Try tuning or even listening to music like that. In black and white. Like it's not. Just like you didn't knew it wasn't so what you jammed on it anyways.

[@shawnhapney8784]

Ian comes off Very Condescending and Cocky. I don't like his personality but as a drummer he Is Amazing.

[@waqqodonkey]

Ian looking like a grandma

[@matthewpaluch777]

You have 2ask yourself if he wasn't an endorser would he buy these cymbals. I don't think so-

[@altie29]

he's all about those 2002's

[@rhythmista7707]

He's not there to say if he would use them, just to give his "seal of approval" to someone who may be interested in them..He used the original Formula 602's in Purple's early years because the 2002's weren't in production yet, just as Bonham used Giant Beats before the 2002's came along.. For one of the first Deep Purple singles, "Hush", he's using 602's, and the first 2 Zep albums, Bonham used Giant Beats..

[@ryanhendrymusic]

First 3 and most of IV.

[@drumsanddrumming]

I actually thought he played Zildjian on the first records!

[@alex.cole.drums1]

drumsanddrumming paice is playing paiste since ever 🙂

[@TempoDrift1480]

Too much wankery.

[@kevingomez8735]

He’s kinda snobby, not every drummer plays in deep purple or large arenas…..

[@drummer626]

Don’t like the ride.

[@bobdudeface570]

b20? And Never Never.....Ever trust a left handed drummer. lol.

[@hupl4623]

They sound cheap. Love the signature series from paiste

[@oskarfield8696]

Hu Pl the set costs 2000 gbp

[@bobbydtv1]

wtf they sound horrible signatures are the best

[@AquaAnim]

??

[@ArkaEasyRiders]

nice :)

[@Exotic_Tofu]

I like b20 way more. I wish paiste made heavier 602's again not just medium tho.
