Heavily influenced by Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich and other jazz drummers, Ian Paice is one of the few hard rock drummers who uses swing and jazz inflections in his powerhouse style. He is also left-handed.
Paice brought forward from a previous generation of rock drummers the tight, precise playing and crisp, clean sound of the best of his predecessors but added power, formidable speed and technique to create a unique style and sound giving the best of both worlds.
Ian is endorsing Pearl drums, Paiste cymbals and Pro-Mark sticks. He switched from Ludwig to Pearl drums around 1984.
You can buy tickets for this event online from www.adcdrums.co.uk, and by telephone or personal visit to the shop.
