When he pulled that cymbal out from “Made in Japan”, I think my heart skipped a beat. That record is just flat out amazing. Probably not many reading these comments have missed it, but if you have never listened to it, stop whatever you are doing and listen.
I don't remember ever having listened to "Made in Japan" - but after all these recommendations I'm gonna give it a shot today as soon as I get the chance!! Ta👍👍👍
@@dibe56 Its hard to understand how the universe brings 5 or so people together who make amazing music, but who needs to understand when you can listen
He speaks with such clarity and you can see he's firmly rooted to the ground without the air or angst of some other celebrities. I'm proud of him and I admire him. He's a perfect role model to all aspiring musicians.
It really is a privilege that one of the greatest drummers in rock just does these videos out of the kindness of his heart (and maybe some boredom). Thank you, Ian
I had the pleasure of meeting Ian at the Australian F1 GP back in 2000, where Deep Purple had a 3 or 4 song spot, I think at the time. He is a true gentleman and of course, one of the greatest rock drummers of all time.
In the mid 70s he got married in the village I lived in as a kid. I remember my mates and I cycling up to the reception venue, hanging over the wall trying to catch a glimpse. He was a regular in the village in a yellow Rolls and then a green Porsche 928. Great memories!
Hi Ian , I’m in El Paso , Texas , I still have my ticket stub from February 17,1974 . At El Paso County Coliseum. Deep Purple and special guest Nazareth . $ 5.50 per ticket !!! My favorite Concert ever . Blessings !
Ian, I won a contest with the Bone radio station and went back stage and met you at the concord Pavillion in concord ca. In the early 2000's, you taught me so much over the years, I started our drum lessons in 1970. You were one of the greatest, in the same league as barriemore Barlow, Alan White. Gave you a letter. Thank you for everything, I turned out as a decent studio musician who jammed with some big names. Thanks again brother, to this day "The Mule" is one of the best rock drum solos. How do I know? NOT one mistake, never do the sticks connect, Barriemore was a bad ass too.
In every new video I watch, I keep thinking how classy, gifted, tasty, professional, and true musician, drummer, and person, Mr. Paice is. I was hoping to see the silver Ludwig of the 70's deep purple records. But no matter what kit it is, it's this man's groove that's always beautiful. Thank you Mr. Paice
I am 53 years old as of this post, I vividly remember being 6 years old and listening to your intro on Fireball and being blown away by it. My older brother is also a gifted drummer, and he had just gotten a hold of the Fireball record, amongst other Purple records. We lived in Costa Rica at the time and records there were really hard to come by. I got the opportunity, later on in 1984 while living in the States, to attend a concert by Purple during the Perfect Strangers tour when you all performed at Hollywood Sportatorium, Florida. Needless to say it was a dream come thru, all of you performed outstandingly. I would like to thank you for your great contributions to that era of music and all the way thru today. May God Bless you and your loved ones. Regards.
Can't get over what a nice guy Mr. Paice is. What a gentlemen. And what a contribution to music. What a contrast with today's petty and arrogant one day wonders.
A beautiful garage full of wonderful batteries ... Congratulations, Ian, it is a true paradise for every passionate drummer ... Greetings from Rome, Italy ... FABRIZIO IAN
Just came across this wonderful post. I modelled my drumming on buddy Rich and Ian Pace. With the birth of my first son who had health difficulty’s I had to sell my drums and stop playing music. I never stopped listening though, now my son is 35 I just bought a pair of sticks and trying to remember my rudiments, playing them on my mouse pad. Thanks Ian, you inspired me again with this lovely insight into memory’s of the past.
That's a great drum collection Mr Paice. Just see how well he's organized all of his drum sets. The respect a musician shows to his / her instruments speaks a lot about their success !!
Hello Ian Paice. Thank you for drum tribe videos like this where people can be "one on one" with the phenomenal Ian Paice! Also Ian thank you for the great recordings, performances and if I ever chose a Group to drum in it would be D.P. IAN, I LOVE YOU MAN YOU ARE MY HERO AND HUUUUUUGGGGGEEE INFLUENCE. PEACE OUT IAN! TAKE CARE CHIEF AND FAMILY!
I am beside myself. It is you & Bobby Caldwell. The two top mind blowing drummers I have enjoyed for a lifetime. Thanks for doing a channel. Great stuff.
Thank you for sharing your drum kits from your personal space.. It was a pleasure to see you play in Australia 1999/2001.. it was shear brilliance.. Made in Japan really blew me away & I always think about how young you guys were with a wall of power.. Sensational 🙏
What a gent , I can remember meeting Ian in the what was then called the Hinds Head pub in Bray , and again Ian pop into Reading cricket club, I was playing for Maidenhead and Bray . He was a great bloke then and appears not to have changed
Wow! So not only he is one of the greatest drummers ever but he's such a nice gent! Mr Paice, I saw you 7 or 8 times in both Poland and Czech republic and you were amazing! I wish i could shake your hand once!
Ian my man, met you back during Perfect Strangers Tour Montreal back in the day only briefly but i will never forget. Always a Class Act ..Kudos and Peace...
Without a doubt my favorite drummer ever. Seems to be a really nice person as well. I am nothing but focused when he speaks hoping to learn anything I can from this guy.
Thanks for this little "journey" through kits and times! Mr. Paice you have been my drumming role model and it was a real pleasure to watch all these drums and their stories! When I think back to a time when we had nothing but some LP's to hear you and maybe occasionally read some newspaper article about you... It is so good that we can see, hear and learn so many things that I have long wanted to know. Your drumming has always been a great mix of speed like Buddy Rich and explosiveness of hard or heavy rock!
Ian, I'm so glad you have decided to give up some free time. Very kind and much appreciated. I fell in love with Purple as a teenager, around the time you joined David in Whitesnake. You came to Norwich for a clinic as well. I'll send you a couple of pic's from that. You have brought much joy and inspiration to my best pal 'Butty' and myself. Both drummers and both influenced by you, to this day. Please keep posting and once again a big thanks.
I love IP. He was my first drummer-hero. I went from him to others that were in rock and jazz (fusion, mostly). I loved the sheer thunder of his sound. His bass drum and machine gun snare is incomparable. That's all. God bless you, Ian. Rock on buddy!
When I was about 12 yrs old my Dad brought home a box of records from an estate auction and there was Black Sabbath Master of Reality ,Deep Purple Machine Head and Burn , Led Zeppelin 1 , The Police Synchronicity, Zappa One size fits all, Humble Pie @Fillmore . Looking back I think the previous owner must have been a drummer. I spent the next few months listening to those records and being blown away by the songs and especially the drums. Even at 12 I knew I was hearing damn good drummers at work on those albums
I'm not a drummer - just a hack bass player and classic rock fanatic - but Ian is one of my all time top faves, along with Bonzo, Carl, Alan and Cozy. Made In Japan is STILL arguably the best rock live album ever - great songs, fantastic recording quality, superb individual musicianship and incredible mind-reading level ensemble playing.
please keep making music..... just keep going.... no where else to go but forward... keep going mate .. carry on... goodday thanks for sharing sir we love your works.
I was 15 In 1979 and Peter Criss was the reason why I started playing drum. I soon discovered Made in Japan and Ian Paice become the the reason why I kept on playing. I carefully listened mr. Paice with Deep Purple, Whitesnake and Paul McCartney. Thank you for being such an inspiration and a teacher, as a musician and as a man.
i was a drummer for 30 years,now can nor even effort 1 drum kit,i play with my hands on my knees sometime,,great solo you did on made in japan,,that was my first record ever, i got i from my older brother on christmas 1972 ,i was 10 years old,it blew me away,,what a master piece landmark record
Haha. Wow. Made in Japan crashes. Still has them. You legend. Wonderful stuff this is. Really do appreciate your time in sharing your private collection in your home. Thank you again superstar señor Paice. Cheers 🤘🏾
I’ve listened to almost all kinds of music over 40 years and discovered Deep Purple quite late. I never over analyzed anything just ”listened” but when I bought ”made in japan” on vinyl and listened as usual and the drum solo on the mule had been going a while I stopped drinking my coffee and had to listen with both ears. Wow! It’s also a joy to watch videos and see what you can do with just a couple of drums when other drummers have them all around themselves and can’t even get close. Now I always listen to especially the drummer and bass. My favourite drummer!
Just found this channel..as a huge fan of purple...and ian...so glad I did.. I drive my working london black cab In the west end for the last 24yrs..with purple on the stereo..most off my passengers are pleasantly surprised to hear their music..will be playing the burn 30th anniversary edition..this week.. Ian so glad you are doing this👌
Thank you so much for taking the time to put these videos online for your fans. I was raised listening to Deep Purple, and I can’t wait to show my dad all this wonderful content you’re putting out here. Thank you, Mr. Paice.
love yer page! the reviews, the drum tour....thank you.....Saw you in Hinckley Minnesota with Emerson Lake and Palmer ( Perpendicular tour) which just blew me away. im 61 and had to wait a long time to see ya. also saw your farewell in Minneapolis...i really hope you retire 4 or 5 times like the Who did....LIFELONG FAN...Bessemer Michigan
Ian, awsome drum room and collection! Im 66, and I have been a fan of you and “Purple” since my early teens! I saw you guys in the 70’s at the Philadelphia Spectrum, it was the show where you guys had Tim Bogart, and Carmine Appice join the band on stage for the encore! Very cool!!👍🥁

Probably one of the top three more underrated drummers , he is never on the top ten list of nobody but people like me which had the privilege to enjoy Deep Purple since 70's always have The Chief in our hearts .
Hi Ian. It was really exciting for me to meet you in person two years ago in Italy, in Novi Ligure. Wonderful concert with bigger's farm and as usual you did an incredible solo. Thanks
In my teens this guy played the hell out of his Ludwig set on the live in japan album back in 1973 I was turning 18 and I loved his playing machine head was the pinnacle at that time everybody was kickin ass zeplin had a new album Alice cooper ELP doobie brothers grand funk Black Sabbath Aerosmith too and disco was raging on but rock prevailed
Lovely collection Ian. I recently bought a snare drum from Bun E Carlos who also has a great drum collection. Power to you guys for keeping the fire burning.
Thanx for this inside tour. Saw this Perfect Stranger Kit in '87 at Monsters of Rock in Germany, Nuremberg. Fantastic sound and a very impressive bass drum sound. Been there as a Metallica fan. Deep Purple kicks ass. Wow! Keep on rocking Mr Paice. Thx

Wonderful video!!

Hi Ian. It was really exciting for me to meet you in person two years ago in Italy, in Novi Ligure. Wonderful concert with bigger's farm and as usual you did an incredible solo. Thanks
In my teens this guy played the hell out of his Ludwig set on the live in japan album back in 1973 I was turning 18 and I loved his playing machine head was the pinnacle at that time everybody was kickin ass zeplin had a new album Alice cooper ELP doobie brothers grand funk Black Sabbath Aerosmith too and disco was raging on but rock prevailed
Lovely collection Ian. I recently bought a snare drum from Bun E Carlos who also has a great drum collection. Power to you guys for keeping the fire burning.
Thanx for this inside tour. Saw this Perfect Stranger Kit in '87 at Monsters of Rock in Germany, Nuremberg. Fantastic sound and a very impressive bass drum sound. Been there as a Metallica fan. Deep Purple kicks ass. Wow! Keep on rocking Mr Paice. Thx
