Ian Paice is one of the truly great drummers of our time. He could have been an elite jazz drummer had he gone into that genre. His technical skills are top-notch and his playing style and touch are brilliant. His scense of swing and groove is intuitive and spot-on. I am a hard-core Carl Palmer fan and like Palmer, Paice has aged well. Both are still playing at a world-class level into their seventies. Paice is a genuine master percussionist and a fine and humble person as well.
Agreed you can tell Ian cut his teeth listening to the great Big Band drummers, as the influence of Rich, Krupa et al are prominent in his playing. Ian Paice and Ginger Baker are my favorite rock drummers.
Awesome ! And speaking as a Pearl player myself, I can’t believe how much better the Ludwig kit sounds than the Pearl kit in this video. Night and day.
Head or not, you've always had great hands and this video is a perfect chance to get a closeup of those hands at work. We could use an "Ian's Hand Cam" on a DP video!
Thanks, Ian. And I'll add that the call and response bit looks even cooler with a lefty and righty drummer. Love the drum cam over the FT...even if you lost your head :-). I'm about 10 years younger than you..and "Made in Japan" made me a fan. I had a great drum teacher who was swing, big band all the way, not really a rock guy. When I made him listen to Deep Purple....he was impressed. "This guy swings"- True story. Thanks for almost 5 decades of inspiration. Love the channel.
Caught DP in Ottawa a few years ago. IanP and RogerG were definitely the stars of the show. Morse was very good, but the smooth rhythm section is the reason that he gets to do his stuff. They are simply incredible and slick partners.
Without looking at the video I recognize Ian's playing. Its fantastic, the other drummer is great as well , but the way Ian grabs the stick , plays and hits the drums big difference between both drummers. Great video
Dunno about "Pick up the Pieces" more like "Pick up the Stick" at 10:52. He even shouted in time! Even the greats drop a stick now and then, it reminds us they are human!
I was in the audience as I remember the great recovery from the stick drop. I think it was a Wednesday evening. There is a strict ban on filming but I got a snap of Ian just as he sat behind the kit. Ha! If only he’d asked me I could have filmed him and the sound was great/well balanced where I was sitting. In general at a small club it’s intrusive to film in the audience so I agree with the rule.
An album's worth of swing versions of DP songs like Wring That Neck from the Concerto/RAH CD or any other songs would be a real treat! It's about time for the first album with the name IAN PAICE in BIG letters on it. It might not sell millions of copies ...but it will surely last and make a lot of people happy as can be seen on this very site here. Thanks for everything, Ian!
Ian is by far one of the top rock drummers ever, and part of what made him great was his ability to swing! I have been a fan since I first heard Machine Head as a 13-year-old in 1973. I was a lefty playing a right-handed setup until I saw him and realized I should turn my set around.
I was 10 year old and get my drums mrk lefima, play Deep Purple from tandberg taperecorder in headphone and learn to play drums by listen to Mr Ian Peace, allways my hero
Wow! I enjoyed watching a young Steve Ferrone play this on youtube and I thought 'I bet my favourite drummer, Ian Paice, can do this justice'. Boy, didn't you just, Ian. Thank you for sharing.
Thankyou Ian. Don't worry about the camera angle ... it shows the HANDS and particularly the mighty Right one. Magical ! I was able to see the amazing Mr. Rich in Birmingham a few months after his heart surgery. That was a lifetime ambition for me. He was still in recovery but his and the orchestra's performance was something I will always remember. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us ... Always a special thing to receive.
I'd sell my house for getting a close-up camera video like that of Ian Paice and Jon Lord playing their drum-organ duet during 'Space Trucking' on 'Made in Japan'.
@@lucasnieri4318 Who is "he"? - And to do what? And how can you draw a picture of an abstract idea? - You act arrogantly and can't even formulate a meaningful sentence. - It seems like TH-cam (and other social media) encourages some people to act like complete pricks. - "Dig yourself a hole and jump in it!" Why don't you draw a picture of that?
@@boddleshop367 probably because you never will understand anything anyway since your first comment, showing that your not a friendly or happy person anyway. Go look for your soul somewhere because your losted and stop being mean and miserable with people!
Ian, it's time for your to get published with a book. My shelf has John, Cozy, Carmine, Jerry Shirley and many others. Ian, The Rock Drumming Master needs to tell his story and have a writer put it down in word. I volunteer if no one better will do it.
Mr. Ian Paice looks so cool with grey hair, and not matter his age, he's still one of the baddest southpaw drummers alive today. On another note, we would never doubt that it wasn't you, because all we have to do is listen to your signature style, and see your hi-hat on the right to know it is you. Keep swingin' Mr. Paice because we love your excellent drumming skills, and more so your charming English demeanor.
Ian, please think about. I follow you since 1973, it means the most part of my life listening to you play the drums. You are a special person and a lot of kids like me keep listening to you. Do you have any idea how important these videos from your TH-cam channel are being?
Mr. Paice i've always considered you one of the top 10 ALL TIME Rock Drummers! I have 5 drummers, that i always go back listening to,.....You of course being one! The 4 others, Pierre Van Der Linden from the 1st three Focus records and the 1974 Trace album he was on after leaving Focus in 1973, he is and was a brilliant player. Then there is Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson The Allman Brothers Band...It is the first "Sea Level" Album where you really could tell how a great a drummer he is and was! Even live he was also Brilliant. Yes there is some Live footage of the Sea Level Band on TH-cam. Bobby Caldwell; Johnny Winter And "Live" The first and third albums of Captain Beyond, and arguably his best playing with the band Armageddon, featuring lead singer from the Yardbirds, the late Keith Relf. Lastly Carmen Appice, Vanilla Fudge, the Great Band....CACTUS! Those are the records he really shines on. Diggin your channel !!
Nice to see someone give a shoutout to Pierre Van Der Linden. I have always loved Focus, excellent band - the great Jan Akkerman on guitar, Thijs Van Leer on keys, flute, vocals, great stuff they did. It's a shame they are not mentioned more often.
Awesome. Thanks for the video. I'm always amazed at how Ian Paice makes his playing look easy. It feels like he can play whatever he wants to play. I was always wondering how cool it would be, if Ian (together with Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore) would do something jazzy, something like Jimmy Smith or Wes Montgomery. Unfortunately, it's not possible anymore.
Thank you for sharing Ian. We catch the BR Orchestra every time they are in LA. Cathy is wonderful and Greg is a terrific guy. What is sad is that there is sooo little support from younger people to their gigs. Maybe you can speak to the issue of sparking interest in jazz/ swing for younger audiences. I fear for the future of this music if people don't act!
Fantastic! I've been playing this since high school (trumpet then bass)! Your drumming is STILL gorgeous in every way imaginable. Thank you for decades of perfection.
This is your fan from🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾. I like you because you're playing with soul and feeling. I got that since i'm just a kid. The way you stroked all that fill in DP songs all comes from your heart, its pure. I knew bonham but i still love your playing more.
Ian wouldnt have liked it much, I think. In another interview he said Black Sabbath music never did much for him - he wasnt criticizing their music, just that it wasnt his cup of tea.
Thank you for picking up these pieces for us, Ian! For the next time you play in London (fingers crossed...) I hereby volunteer as AV recordist :) It's such fun to watch Ian Paice (sans head, but still!) playing funky jazz!! I guess (but I may be wildly out with that guess!) that your tour sound checks are very brief and you all have nicer things to do than to play to echoing empty places... but you must have done thousands of sound checks, often with a) good friends, b) exciting new musicians you needed to gel with and/or found yourself flowing with creative energy while having some time to kill before a gig... I wonder what kind of tunes you might have played in hard rocking bands like Deep Purple or Rainbow that might be similarly uncommon - at least for us, who have no idea?
Met Ian once. i was working at the St. Kames hotel in Edinburgh around 1979 and met Ian in the hallway. We had a nice chat and and I mentioned my own inspiration in Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich. I doubt if he remembers me though.
Being from Chicago and knowing Greg Potter through the typical music scene there, it must have blown his mind sitting down with Ian???? Greg you are a great drummer! Once in a lifetime experience there my friend.
I find it insane that there aren't tens of thousands of views for these vids - they are fun, instructive, inspiring and addictive. And headless drummer or not I think I'd pick the Chief out of a bunch of drummers just by his bass pedal work. Thanks for these uploads - they're a highlight of the day they're released.
Speaking as a bass player, I think you can judge a drummer by the bass (kick) work. In so many cases, when they go into a fill, or especially a solo, the bass drum loses their attention and wanders off... so it's hard to keep the rhythm section locked in. The GOOD drummers keep the pattern tight!
when my brother was alive, it was listening to and watching you that made him take up drumming and it was trying to emulate you that made him such a good drummer, so on his behalf and in his memory, i sat Thank You
This may be the closest the late Buddy Rich ever got to Rock music. Rich died in 1987. But I know of no instance of Rich sitting in on a rock band. Not even for one song. And what a shame. Jazz-rock bands like Chicago and Blood Sweat & Tears would have been best for him. Jethro Tull. Or progressive-rock bands like Emerson Lake & Palmer or Yes. (Not so much Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, or the Rolling Stones - though it would be very interesting to see what Rich would do with their music.) But Rich was MUCH older than all these band members, and didn't have much regard - if any - for rock music. (Same with Country music) Maybe because he was upset younger people preferred rock over jazz. Saw it as a rejection of his music - and him. So, unfortunately, Buddy Rich and the Rock world did not meet. What a loss...
The last time I saw a band with 2 drum kits was back in the 80's a band called "Hi Tension" a British Funk / Jazz group. They not only had 2 drummers pounding the std kits they also had a 3rd percussionist on Bongo drums! Not sure if you ever came across them? One of the tightest playing live bands I have ever seen. Absolutely brilliant but 9 of them on stage (if I remember right) so each persons share of the takings would be very thin. :(
Absolutely brilliant!!
Thank you for sharing this with us. We might not be that many (compared to the world population), but we appreciate this very, very much.

You are right on. Ian Paice is one of the greatest drummers if not the greatest drummer ever. Period.
@@digdigger4277 oh yes

Deep Purple was so lucky to have him in the band!!! He is amazingly great
Great Chief !!! Always Very good !!!
Awesome ! And speaking as a Pearl player myself, I can’t believe how much better the Ludwig kit sounds than the Pearl kit in this video. Night and day.
I still play my '71 Ludwig three ply maple kit.
the tone. the warmth.
Ciao Maestro
And just because of this man and the deep purple album "burn" i became a drummer. Thanks for the inspiration Mr. Paice.
The title track of "Burn" was a seminal part of my drumming, too.
Ian Paice is so far ahead of everything. His playing is music itself. It's like a voice, a singing melody. Amazing.
True
Ian has been swinging since he first held sticks.Deep Purple have THAT element that lacks in every other band..SWING
Sabbath had it to be fair. Bill ward was a big swinger
Yeah he swapped wife’s with Tony Iommi.
This is about as much of a front row seat as you ever can get. Great drumming from Mr Paice, as always....
The world greatest!!!! Ian paice
Great stuff Mr. Paice! Thank you, Gregg Potter & Cathy Rich for these gems!
Head or not, you've always had great hands and this video is a perfect chance to get a closeup of those hands at work. We could use an "Ian's Hand Cam" on a DP video!
Разве можно даже подумать, что этому парню Пейсу уже 72 года!!! Здоровья, здоровья и ещё раз здоровья!!!!
Swinging your arse off in Pick Up The Pieces, mate! Beautiful stuff Paicey.
I DETEST the new TH-cam ad algorithm.
ever heard of ad bl*ck?
Even without the head we knew who it was... those fantastic swing and groove. You are the true sound of DP.
Thanks, Ian. And I'll add that the call and response bit looks even cooler with a lefty and righty drummer. Love the drum cam over the FT...even if you lost your head :-).

Again- my all time fav drummer and the one I`ve been listening most to for 47 years
Caught DP in Ottawa a few years ago. IanP and RogerG were definitely the stars of the show. Morse was very good, but the smooth rhythm section is the reason that he gets to do his stuff. They are simply incredible and slick partners.
I´ll been waiting for this video , awesome! Huge fan of mr. Paice. I wanted to see him with the Buddy Rich Orquestra .
Without looking at the video I recognize Ian's playing. Its fantastic, the other drummer is great as well , but the way Ian grabs the stick , plays and hits the drums big difference between both drummers. Great video
Ian has 'groove'!

His playing is just amazing.... and esthetic. Awesome Ian
Fantástic Sir Paice!!! 👏 👏
I always like to see my drumming heroes playing something other than their usual fare. Ian never disappoints.
Ian been a DP fan since In Rock Album did you enjoy recording Perfect Stranger? I live in Vermont.
I could also do that !!!
Then I woke up ...
Beautiful footage, thanks for sharing chief
Wonderful footage/playing @ Ian Paice, thanks for sharing, couldn't help but laugh @ 10:53 though. 😂👍
Yeah that was a great bounce back bro!!!
I was 10 year old and get my drums mrk lefima, play Deep Purple from tandberg taperecorder in headphone and learn to play drums by listen to Mr Ian Peace, allways my hero
Gooooööööd!
There is no to much philosophy in Ian`s drumming and that makes him one of the greatest.
Wow! I enjoyed watching a young Steve Ferrone play this on youtube and I thought 'I bet my favourite drummer, Ian Paice, can do this justice'. Boy, didn't you just, Ian. Thank you for sharing.
This is actually a brilliant angle for seeing what's happening. An entire DP gig from a camera angle similar to this would be amazing.
Ashamed to say I don't know who the young man is playing with Ian, but he is GOOD.
Thankyou Ian. Don't worry about the camera angle ... it shows the HANDS and particularly the mighty Right one. Magical !

GOD BLESS!
The single biggest influence on my drumming since Fireball was released. Ian IS the Buddy Rich of rock drumming.
Absolute legend you rock my friend . 🥁🥁🥁
A living legend.
It was good! You did it! Thanks for sharing!
I need an album of Purple tunes in this style please !!

Two monster drummers there!
Brilliant !

if you learn all buddy rich's techniques as in jazz, you'll be a bloody good drummer trust me
Ian is a fucking legend....and are a bloody good drummer!!!
Very precious. We are waiting for official CD in a few years.
Nice, what we would have given to be there 👍
I wish after Ozzy kicked out Lee Kerslake, that he instead got Paice to play the drums along with Randy Rhoads
Ian wouldnt have liked it much, I think. In another interview he said Black Sabbath music never did much for him - he wasnt criticizing their music, just that it wasnt his cup of tea.
Brilliant. Poetry in motion.
The music comes from the head but the magic is in the hands. And Paicey's hands are quicker than the eye.
Thank you for picking up these pieces for us, Ian!

I was at that gig in London. The other drummer was not bad at all, but when mr Paice got on the stage, suddenly music appeared. Amazing!
Paice even yells when he throws a stick, just like Buddy.
Hi Ian. I really enjoyed this.
What a funky groove like, don't tell me nothin' 'bout funk!
"The Chief" he loves his China cymbal with his most devoted love. -))
... and that 'love' definitely wasn't only platonic... :D
when my brother was alive, it was listening to and watching you that made him take up drumming and it was trying to emulate you that made him such a good drummer, so on his behalf and in his memory, i sat Thank You
So funky Ian! You could have played In James Browns Band!
I heard the trumpet player hit a clam at the 6:20 mark, Buddy would have fired him!!!
Yep.
"GET OFF MY STAGE, YOU **##!!!
Nice work here guys I love the videos 📸
Crack!
Love you in peace... Buddy Rich
10:52 Great save Ian!!
Amazing.
Thank you.
Is there any footage of recording Purpendicular album?
I've only just found this channel??
Thanks for this great video of a great drummer paying tribute to another great!
