The artists and Composers Ian Paice, Uli Frost, Frank Itt, Dirk Brand, Athanasios Tsoukas (Zacky) met at the festival Drums and Percussion Paderborn live - October 17th 2020.
The coronavirus had Germany nearly under control, but with the great team from Drums and Percussion Paderborn e.V. and the Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum (world largest Computer Museum in Paderborn Germany) we made a festival with Tests, social distance etc. possible.
We were all happy that we could even be on stage and it was a new beginning for all of us. That's what Ian Paice called it, had to cancel many gigs with Deep Purple because of Corona and couldn't play.
So Uli Frost had the idea to simply put the curve of the virus in Germany from its beginning in January / February 2020 to October 2021 musically and re-enact it.
Today we hope that everybody gets vaccinate and hopefully we all see you soon Live at the next Drums´n´Percussion Paderborn. Today is May 24th 2021 and it is the 20th Anniversary of Drums´n´Percussion Paderborn which started May 24th 2001 at the World largest Computer Museum (HNF) with the support from City of Paderborn, State of NRW and a lot more support!
