I must say, after playing drums for more than 30 years and hearing hundreds of solos from the best drummers worldwide, this is easily one of the most complete and technically proficient drummers who ever held the sticks in his hands. This solo is a clinic of syncopation, stick control and hand-foot technique ever demonstrated. Ian is a drum master!

@@eriklarson9137 compare him to what else was around at the time champ, not the youtube drummers of today. Back then, these guys were creating this stuff for themselves. There weren't videos of other drummers for them to watch and steal stuff from. Guys today hardly have to think how things are done. There's always some dude out there with in depth instructions on just how to play this fill etc. It's kind of sad is a way. Without doubt Paice and Bonham lead the charge for rock drummers in the late 60's, and the 2 live albums Made in Japan and The Song Remains the Same became the standard by which all other rock drummers of the time were judged.

Absolutely amazing. This songs been stuck in my head all day especially the part where the rest of the band comes in near the end of Ian's solo. I was raised on this album. F Mozart, not really, but I'm glad "Made In Japan" was one of the first things I heard ever and I turned out alright, I guess.

Yes. Same League ad john bonham.the are both great but differents. Bonzo powerfull. With an amazing right foot.but i got to admit ian paice hands techniques is better

He is also a kind gentleman. I had the great honor of meeting him on the Purpendicular tour. Still have the t shirt with all of the band's autographs behind glass in my study.... Yup even Jon Lord's.

Insane considering he never left the pocket so we could hear his true chops. This is nuts

No elaborate massive drum set.......just a master at work 🤘

Man, oh man, look at that boy go, go, go! Singles, doubles, parradidles, flams, ruffs, drags, triplets, and more, all done clean as a whistle and smooth as silk. What more could you want in a drum solo? Don't tell me, hand playing, and tympani banging?

Drummer Ian Paice will go down in rock history as the greatest drummer of all time

Incredible in every way. Probably the most interesting drum solo I’ve come across. He sounds more like a jazz drummer. That’s a compliment.

Thanks to Ian, i learned a lot of drumming, a lot of the things he did in this solo helped me to reach a new way to play drums

HE IS NUMBER ONE

His single strokes are mind blowing. That's one thing that has always stood out for me in regards to Paice's playing. Great drummer!

i can feel his jazz flavours/rhythm in his solo

Wow - lots of hand-to-hand triplets & open doubles. KILLER CHOPS

Simply the best rock drummer ever. Others came close but not close enough. Not fair on the rest, being that good. Incredible work ethic and work rate. Best drum kit here too, crisp snare, thunderous basedrum.

Underrated? He's a legend!

no discussion of the greatest rock drummers is complete without mentioning Paice - this guy was doing stuff back in the 60's that had never been seen before - I love Peart, Bonham, Moon, however too many people are ignorant of how truly AWESOME Paice is.. this guy is easily one of the top 5 ever in my opinion..

He killed it on the drums man🤘👍

Is There One Better? .... I think NOT !!! Ian Paice IS......ROCK-N-ROLL's Percussionist, extraordinaire, Through the years, tears, and beers, America has watched this man bring Happiness to the souls of his fellow percussionist, and none has proven to be faster than the speed of sound, as this video will show, and as a fine bottle of Rothschilde wine, He has only gotten better with age.

Now imagine how great Deep Purple truly was... between Ian's drumming, Ritchie Blackmore's guitar playing, and John Lords key boards... Roger Glovers amazing bass playing and Ian Gillian's vocals, they could have ruled the Rock world...too bad Blackmore's Ego was so big. What I found funny was about 2 or 3 years ago, On American Idol, there was this rock singer kid he had the voice where he could reach those Ian Gillian high screaming notes with ease and everyone was so amazed at this like it was something new and never before done... I think that's a problem with todays music, its all cookie cutter and no one even knows about bands like Deep purple... Radio stations might play one of the big hits once every year when they do their Best songs of all time specials but by and large, kids today don't know much about these bands.

Always a good sign of a drummer's ability, competence and technique (in my opinion), is how still and straight, their torso remains, whilst arms and wrists, are going at it hammer and tongs. Ian Paice was at the height of his drumming powers here and I've not seen, many to match him, quite frankly.

Paice is just great!!!

Великий мастер..!!!

I used The Mule, from Live in Japan, to sell £1,000 speakers in the 70’s, amazing drumming beautifully recorded. 🎉

There are many drummers whose solos are boring after one minute, hewever they are technically good. I didn't noticed that this solo was 5:30, it was "so short" - cause it was so melodic. Paice is the best, just.

Stop arguing over whether Bonham or Paice was better than the other, and just listen to the damn drumming and music. Both of them are (or were, in Bonham's case) great drummers.

Ian has some of the smoothest sounding rolls in the business. The clarity and execution of his single and double stroke rolls is on a par with that of the great jazz drummers.

One of the best drummers ever.

It's good to see that Ian is finally getting some recognition after all those yrs

One of those 'I thought I was pretty good until I saw this' moments.

He is and will always be the true soul of Deep Purple!

I to as a studio drummer in the 70's and 80'this is one of the greatest drum solos ever? Why? Not one mistake and yet amazing precision.

They need to put Ian in Modern drummer magazines hall of fame

This man was a monster on the kit! The first time that I had heard The Mule was back in '73 from Made In Japan! Great live album!

In my opinion, both drummers are incredible, it doesn't matter who's better, we're lucky we had them both.

Personally Ian paice is my main inspiration along with great Cozy Powell n Copeland 👍👍

dude trsut me ive seen almost all of his drum solos and his side projects he is easily one of my biggest inspirtaions.

I'm not gonna argue with anyone. We all have reasons why we prefer someone. I JUST ENJOY Ians drumming over anyone elses

A true jazzer, he keeps that hi-hat constantly going, building his mighty solo around it's meter.

Дань уважения! От всего моего маленького сердца к такому огромному человеку! Таких людей не делают больше нигде! Ну и конечно это всё и до сих пор остаётся в нашей памяти! Какая у человека на сцене самоотдача, такая же самоотдача у публики! Это неповторимо

I had a fellow drumming friend who looked like a "dorky Ringo Star" back in the 70,s who stopped by one Saturday to show me a drum solo he learned non other than this gem by Mr.Paice he finally taught me how he had a technique he would put his hand right on the speaker while listening to it to pick out the parts if you're out there John G. Thanks 😊

Ian Paice is one of my favorite drummers. And he was gracious enough to make a drum instructional video as well. I learned all of my rudiments from that video...the drum roll and single and double and triple paradiddles. Truly great drummers pass on what they’ve learned to others. The Mule is without a doubt on par with Moby Dick and Toad as the best drum solo by a rock drummer. Ian Paice Was ranked number 14 on the greatest rock drummers list I saw a number of years ago. That is doing him a great disservice. He is easily in the top 10, possibly the top 5. Each Deep Purple musician in the original lineup was among the best in their respective roles.

Paice is just wild.

In my opinion, Ian Paice is by far one of the best drummers ever... I can't measure the quality of a drummer by his solos but by how he plays in the songs he play and Ian is a master, the rhythms, breaks, silences everything is perfect on almost every song like Burn, Maybe I'm a Leo, Space trucking, etc. If speed and acrobacy on the solos is the parameter to follow, then Virgil Donati should be the best drummer ever, but he never made it, because the be a great drummer you need to be a great musician, and Ian Paice is that without doubt. And in this solo he super technical, the snare technique is perfect and the solo is very musical.

Fully agree - the quality of a drummer is measured by how he plays in the songs as a whole (although when he can solo as spectacularly as Paice can, that definitely adds a lot!). To be honest on a lot of early 1970s Deep Purple tracks (not all, but a lot) Paice is the only thing worth listening to. He was the best musician in the band.

Захватывали своей игрой, шуткой, если хотите, виртуозностью. Жаль не осталось записей их восхитительной игры. ЯН, конечно, фигура в мире Rock Музыки. Прошло 50 лет, а смотреть всегда интересно.

I find myself coming back to watch Ian over and over again. same goes for John B, Buddy Rich, Dennis Chambers and Ginger B too.

Ian Paice, John Henry Bonham, Keith Moon, Bill Ward, and Neil Peart are all in my top five greatest drummers of all time. They are in no particular order, but, as of recently, I've been thinking of Paice as a possible #1. He is like a combo between Bonham and Moon style wise (not skill wise - they all are/were at the same skill level). It's incredible! Seriously, no one can get any better because they are literally the best at what they do.

Великолепно, драйв, Браво!!!

Over the years I've been considering Ian more and more as the best drummer of the early 70's classic rock era. The song "Speed King" from "In Rock" must've blown everyone's mind in 1970, what he did on "Made in Japan" was nothing but godlike and California Jam '74 probably is my fav Rock Concert of all time! For me, Ian has his place between Buddy Rich from the Big Band era, Neil Peart as godfather/innovator of prog rock/metal and the decades after the 70's that brought us my other fav drummers, fusion master Dave Weckl and poly rhythmic god Virgil Donati.

He is simply the best 🙂

King of the rolls

Loved it when Cream reunited. Ian is likewise absolutely amazing. Always loved 'Perfect Strangers' why I even listened to this.

Simply the best rock drummer ever, sublime!

A man who knows his rudiments. Always love an IP solo.

Ian Paice is fucking awesome!!!!

Paice is a beast on drums! Excepcional drum solo!

Ian Paice is an excellent percussionist, left handed at that. Ian is beyond amazing. Right into my PERCUSSION PRO'S playlist. ROCK ON!!!!!!

One of the best. Great influence of mine, Deep Purple as a whole too.

Paicey and Bonzo ..Best rock drummers ever!

24 years old!!!! and yet satch Roket!! I sow him more than 10 times but give me more!!! this is exactly what I miss in today's music. a 2% of Jan Paice would be a huge enancement. I can't compare him with nobody. Only him have been in DP always if I'm not wrong. All others changed but changing him would have been like shooting your foot.

I don't know man, I was fortunate enough, actually saw a lot of them in concert, they're all great! That was the era of some of the world's best music, cannot be replicated, just, hopefully it won't be forgotten!
