A look at Ians Deep Purple Stage Drum Kit, Some insight into why he uses a massive 26 inch Bass Drum LIve, What Mics, Pedals and loads more www.pearleurop... paiste.com/e/en...
He is main reason I have any passing interest in drums. He's a one-man drumming dynamo, there's nobody else remotely like him, his technique and style are so amazing.
One of my all time favorite drummers, and one of my all time favorite personalities in rock music. Such a sweet, kind man, and such an UTTER BADASS on the drums!! Perfect combination!
Ian was a big influence on me growing up. I used to listen to him a LOT throughout my teens when I was practicing for hours. "Made in Europe" really blew me away when I first heard it. Not many drummers played with the energy that Ian had. He took you on a wild ride and I loved every minute of it.
When I started drums (1972), I had my kit exactly (almost) like Ian's, taken from the Made in Japan album cover, ride cymbal in the middle of the crash stand (that looked so cool), hi-hat, two floor toms, bass drum, one tom, snare, two crash, cow bell. Listening to Fireball, Concerto, in Rock, etc. trying to figure out how everything works. Well, thanks to Ian, 10 years playing in a band, it was fun.
he speaks through his drums words can never explain or express. Music is that 1 Sence... if ure able in receiving and have the Privilegs to sending the right frequencies it needed that moment, thats spirittous/magical on its own
@@audieconrad8995 Hell the entire Machine Head album IMO he shined. It’s what made me stop thinking Don Brewer was the Best! 😂 Honestly it opened up my mind to what a Great drummer was! One of my faves always!
You deserve such a respect Sir. So much talent for such a long time, so many gigs, so many records, so many hits, so much feeling on the drums. You've been and you are a GIANT! Thank you for all. Best regards from France.
First time I heard this man was on Deep Purple, 'Machine Head' album in 72, 73 (I Think?). Being an aspiring drummer naturally, "IT Blew Me Away!" The dynamics of the big drums and the thunder after the strike, definitely got your attention. Ian has always stuck with what works. To this day it's still the way rock drumming should sound. It kicks you in the ribs and doesn't let up. Also, he has a single stroke roll that's just blistering. Rock On Ian and Deep Purple.
Peter Criss was a Pearl guy back in the 70's I know but I don't remember what he used his second run. Eric Singer who drums for KISS now is a Pearl artist. Neil Peart was a Tama artist until I want to say the sometime in the 90's I think. Joey Jordison is a Pearl artist also.
Saw him live on stage twice. Great drummer, Great powerful and Gentleman, nothin to add to his outstanding talent technique and musical taste. Absolutely unmatched.
9:17 Their set list for that gig: Highway Star Bloodsucker Hard Lovin' Man Strange (Kinda Woman) Vincent (Price) Contact Lost Uncommon Man Well Dressed (Guitar) Lazy Demon's Eye Hell To Pay Keys (solo?) Perfect (Strangers) Space (Truckin') Smoke (on The Water) Band leave the stage after 'Smoke'.. -- "We want more! - We want more! - We want more!" -- Band re-join stage (to thundddderous applause!) Encore: Hush Black (Night) I saw Deep Purple 3 times, in Glasgow, Scotland, when I was around 16-17 years old. I'm 64 now - they're still the best Rock band in the known universe. Thanks, Ian - fantastic videos, mate.
Thanks for sharing again Mr.Paice. The last show i attended was DP at Hell and Heaven fest in Mexico this year, just before the madness. Stay safe Chief!!!
Saw Deep Purple in Chico ca..circa 1970..pioneer day concert..they were great.a cool windy night unual for that time of year..and they opened up with mandrake root..they were phenomenal..my friend was a drummer just loved your playing..being a left ha ded player.Thank you for you You Tube sire.Great.MV..Chico ca.
I love that he said , (I'm not very good with it) the double base. Class act of a gentleman. One of the best of all time . Cheers from northern Indiana usa
D R U M S O F S T E A L ! Ian Paice is from out of the solar system.. Out of the milky way.. From ANDROMEDA!! And the ''Walk around'' is breathtaking. Great filming.
The Made in Europe "You Fooled No One"drum solo was my favorite inspiration along with John Bonham's Moby Dick from Zep live growing up as a young drummer.
Thank you sir for doing this. You will always be one of my drum heroes from this little kid from Flint, Michigan. I feel like I’ve had the honor of meeting you. ❤️🥰
I've been a fan of yours since the early days of DP Ian. One of my favorite albums is Burn, followed by Machine Head, In Rock and Fireball. I've never had the chance to see you play live due to my own musical aspirations, but if I can I certainly will. You've always been one of my top drummers I've followed, so keep on Space Truckin, and I'll catch you on a tour sometime soon, hopefully.
I love his drumming and I fell into it with "Machine Head" when it came out in 1972... I was 12 years old and it had a huge impact on me... I still listen to it with great pleasure and discover new things all the time. One thing struck me when I began to play drums and had a bit more ideas about rythm and music styles : Ian is certainly a fantastic jazz drummer too as you can hear it on "Lazy". The ride pattern swings in a fabulous way... which only a good jazz drummer can have. Thanks for sharing all these great videos and if Ian reads us, cheers from "Lake Geneva Shoreline".
Legend and one important reason many picked up the sticks,including me!!!Staying healthy and strong and still rocking out these huge drums,is another lessson in attitude and life in general!!!True Gentleman,thank you Mr.Paice!
I play paiste 2002 crash 20” (red label) and 22” crash(black label 71’) and Pearl Ian Paice signature snare,the sound is great. Mr Paice is a best drummer!!!
I started drumming over 50 years ago. I am from the same school of thought. Call me a dinosaur or a throwback, but the greatest rock music was made with big, deep toms.
When it was a junior high student, on seeing the photograph of the record, I knew the left-handed setting. I became a high school student and was able to see the live concert in Budokan. I think that the set of the true rock star is hard to can see.Thank you Great Ian Paice!
As a performance was one of 1975 not 1972, it might not be the heyday for Deep Purple . But which the live performance of the true Ian Pace was great , and was able to look at the British rock star !
You were till lucky to see him. And we're lucky we can share these experiences. If young drummers, keeping the Rock spirit alive, interest you, you might like Sina Drums on UA-cam.
I saw Deep Purple in 1973 (!) as a 13 year old fan in Amsterdam during the Who do we think we are tour! Fantastic show but it ended strange when Blackmore broke a string and they left the stage too long and the crazy high audience started to destroy the backline! I knew than i wanted to be a Rock star! 😬 and have been a pro drummer for 40 years since. I met Ian during a drumfestival beginning of the 90’s and he was very humble, warm and very funny. Somebody asked him if he wanted to warm up on a kit in one of the dressingrooms and he replied “ Well, if i can’t do the job now, i certainly won’t be able to do it in the next 20 minutes after warming up” 😂😂😂
Maaan I like the fact Ian uses large crashes. I use to use two heavy Zildjian crashes (18" 20" 21" Rock Ride) but my late guitar player friend hated the extra ring they gave. Lol. I still have them since 1985 but I use smaller to large medium Zildjians now.
Thank you for the tour. It was very informative, especially the effect of shell thickness on sound, I'd never thought of that. I just found your channel and I'm catching up on your videos. I want to thank you for the inspiration to pick up the sticks like legions of others when I heard your work on Burn the light went on and I bought my first kit about 3 weeks later. That was when I was 13, next month I turn 58, in all those years I've had a hell of a lot of fun and your to blame for that lol. I am in your debt.
Thankyou Ian! What an education this has been. I'm so impressed by the way Drum Technology has changed over the years and you explain your preferences, so well, based on your own vast experience. 60 + years ago I learned with some velum heads and plywood shells, still it was a start and worked o.k. in the pubs and working men's clubs at the age of 12!! --- in between BINGO sessions!! -- May thanks for your input.
Ah, Ralph, that takes me back. Short set, Bingo. Go to the bar and be shushed since the bloody bingo was more important than the entertainment. Another short set, Bingo. Tiptoeing across the room, going outside to chat. Back in for final set, if lucky some dancers, pack up, crawl home, short sleep and off to work. Strange that we actually enjoyed it all, thinking back.
17" and 14" deep is perfect for bass drums, no need for anything deeper. Punch and sound that is what I like, towel or pillow against the batter head which is always a Powerstroke 3. That's is what I like.
I’d love to use a 26” but it won’t fit in the back of my VW Golf! Also I don’t have a drum-tech and my 24” just about does my back in! Nice video Ian, great to see your kit up close..
One is a drummer once one consolidates himself with the sound that identifies him/her, it takes years and lived experiences. Speed is great to have nothing wrong having it but speed does not makes one a drummer; it makes you fast. I prefer drums, not racing drums, just drums and its sound is what makes a real drummer.
This man is the main reason why i play drums, this is amazing!
me too
me too !!!!!!
And me!
He is main reason I have any passing interest in drums. He's a one-man drumming dynamo, there's nobody else remotely like him, his technique and style are so amazing.
One of my all time favorite drummers, and one of my all time favorite personalities in rock music. Such a sweet, kind man, and such an UTTER BADASS on the drums!! Perfect combination!
Ian is a first class drummer. Richie gets most of the glory for the classic DP albums of the 70's, but Ian was absolutely indispensable.
WELL SAID!!
What about JL & RG?
They all were. Greatest fucking musicians ever of the 20th century.
In those days I liked DP because of In Rock, Made in Japan and Ian Paice performances, and than the others, was "afraid" of Carl Palmer though.
As was JL and RG. DPmk2 🙌🏻☺️
Ian was a big influence on me growing up. I used to listen to him a LOT throughout my teens when I was practicing for hours. "Made in Europe" really blew me away when I first heard it. Not many drummers played with the energy that Ian had. He took you on a wild ride and I loved every minute of it.
I don't play drums but I love watching Ian.
Dudes a Godfather of Rock drumming, everyone should just listen when he's pontificating.
Ian is the man, the history, the engine of the Deep Purple!
I like this guy! One of my favorite drummers of all time.
One of the VERY BEST!! PERIOD!!
Enjoyed to tour thanks Ian.😃 awsome.
The kit of the beast. A legend. The base of the sound of deep purple
Big drums, big cymbals. No BS. Love this guy.

Very Exclusive Look ... Drums & Cymbals ! & a Drum "Tycoon" is playin it .... Phantastic !! ⭐⭐⭐
The most quiet man when he talks but when he plays he's always the best drummer
You described him in the best way possible.
His drumming in Pictures of Home is STILL my fave.
he speaks through his drums words can never explain or express. Music is that 1 Sence... if ure able in receiving and have the Privilegs to sending the right frequencies it needed that moment, thats spirittous/magical on its own

@@tommyhamilton8155 dude, this March marks the 50th anniversary of that album...1972
Saw them in '74, they were incredible. 7 rows back and center. I was deaf for weeks, may still be!
I like when he is talking
mr paice has a great asmr diction
Stick with Pearl Drums.
A British gentleman
So am I, really gentleman.
Ima Old. When I was young I Played. Im a Lefty too. You gave me Confidence to Play Left handed. I even had a 3rd Mounted Tom Like You. Thanks Ian
You deserve such a respect Sir. So much talent for such a long time, so many gigs, so many records, so many hits, so much feeling on the drums. You've been and you are a GIANT! Thank you for all. Best regards from France.
You're the one that get me into drums! Was 50 years ago!

A fantastic review of the kit Ian. Thanks for showing us 👍
my favorite concert of all time was ian pace.i saw him with deep purple in 86
Love the way Ian displaces the air.
""This has made my day", cheers Ian! "Loved it.
Best drummer!
A GREAT MUSICIAN!!
Pearls and Paistes.....He is one of the only pros that use them!! I like it that he hasnt sold out to DWs like everybody else......
Neil Peart was also with Pearl isn't?
Neil Peart was a DW guy.
@@erichill8501 Ha ok! I remember that Peter Criss had one for a while. But Criss and Paice aren't form the same planet;)..
Peter Criss was a Pearl guy back in the 70's I know but I don't remember what he used his second run. Eric Singer who drums for KISS now is a Pearl artist. Neil Peart was a Tama artist until I want to say the sometime in the 90's I think. Joey Jordison is a Pearl artist also.
@@erichill8501 Yes you are right! NP was withTama. I mixed up Tama and Pearl. Sorry:)
Saw him live on stage twice. Great drummer, Great powerful and Gentleman, nothin to add to his outstanding talent technique and musical taste. Absolutely unmatched.
Thanks for the demonstration and description of your drum kit Ian.
A magnificent set up.
Hope to see you rockin' with Deep Purple in 2021.
There no school like old school Ian your the best 🙏

Thank you very much Ian .You are my idol.
Thanks for sharing again Mr.Paice. The last show i attended was DP at Hell and Heaven fest in Mexico this year, just before the madness. Stay safe Chief!!!
I'm loving the triple & double redundancy of the Pearl 3 way clamp for the 10" & 12" toms and the 14" and 15". Also no heavy Opti-mounts on the toms.
We really hope so too. 👍🏻
Thank You 🙏

Out of the milky way..
From ANDROMEDA!!
And the ''Walk around'' is breathtaking.
Great filming.
Love my signature kit, same colour. Sounds sweet. Has been borrowed by The Alarm couple of times, who also love it.
The Made in Europe "You Fooled No One"drum solo was my favorite inspiration along with John Bonham's Moby Dick from Zep live growing up as a young drummer.
Thank you for sharing your kit and all the music over the years.

Yep, got close enough a few times to feel the Ian Paice bass drum smashing my ribs. Awesome
To me... Ian Paice is the GREATEST rock drummer of my time💪💪
Ian the best 🥁 in the world
Hard to say what`s more impressive: the drums or that room!
I love that Ian doesn't play the standard small "pancake" toms of today. Big drums are where its at! :)
I started drumming over 50 years ago. I am from the same school of thought. Call me a dinosaur or a throwback, but the greatest rock music was made with big, deep toms.
Thanks Ian, very informative.
You forgot to mention the remo heads, type of sticks & your percussion (cowbell,
etc)
Pro-mark Ian Paice Signature sticks, hickory.
Ian and Mick Tucker. My two personal favorite Drummers ever.
Great! Very educational insightful video. He seems like a cool guy!
Love these videos. Thank you.
His rudiments on The Mule - Made in Japan are really great. He has always been one of my greatest influences. Him, Don Brewer, Lee Kerslake etc.
Thanks Ian! It's great!
I love his views on dampening the bass drum.
Nice to see other drummers kits!
Regards from Son Ganxo Mr Paice!
When it was a junior high student, on seeing the photograph of the record, I knew the left-handed setting. I became a high school student and was able to see the live concert in Budokan.
I think that the set of the true rock star is hard to can see.Thank you Great Ian Paice!
Are the Budokan shows where Made In Japan was recorded? If yes, then you are a very lucky and privileged person, indeed!
As a performance was one of 1975 not 1972, it might not be the heyday for Deep Purple .
But which the live performance of the true Ian Pace was great , and was able to look at the British rock star !

This configuration can be traced back to the eleven piece kit he used with DP MK IV in 1975/6. By 1979 it had morphed into the set up shown here.

I respect Ian Pace who holds the hand of God
Damn that kit is Hella nice, being also a lefty player.. I'm officially subbed ot this channel 😁
I own a Pearl Ian Paice signature snare drum. It's one of the best sounding snares I own.
17" and 14" deep is perfect for bass drums, no need for anything deeper. Punch and sound that is what I like, towel or pillow against the batter head which is always a Powerstroke 3. That's is what I like.
THANK YOU. I can afford the sticks. Back to work I guess. MAGNIFICENT BEAUTIES.
im a left handeded drummer and he is my hero of all time
Just goes to show , you don't need a million drums and be hitting them 1,000 miles an hour !! Long live the Chief !!!!
Es espectacular la configuración, amo esa batería y por supuesto Ian Paice es mi mentor!!!
I’d love to use a 26” but it won’t fit in the back of my VW Golf! Also I don’t have a drum-tech and my 24” just about does my back in! Nice video Ian, great to see your kit up close..
I bought a Pearl 26”x14” Wood/Fiberglass a few years ago. Monster after playing 20’s and 22’s for years.
