Ian Paice – On The Drums [2008, DVD]

Ian Paice is without a doubt one of the world’s most premier rock drummers. His reputation was established in Deep Purple, and it was during their last world tour that – in response to many requests – he came up with plans for this DVD to enable people to study his playing style and technique in detail, allowing fans and aspiring drummers to witness his technique up close, watch as he demonstrates riffs and answers questions. The end result is a unique DVD, 2 hours of specially filmed material including on and off stage footage, interviews, live and studio work.

The DVD is divided into different sections for ease of use:
