Drum clinic in Toronto
Ian Paice will hold a drum clinic in Toronto on Monday, February 13 at 2:00 pm. The clinic will take place at Just Drums located at 137 Willowdale Ave., Toronto, Ontario, M2N 4Y3. Admission is free. There will be raffle tickets on sale at $5 each, $10 for 3, with no limit, for the Ian Paice signature snare drum as the main prize.
Thanks to Jim Irons for the info.

Damn, would have loved to win that snare for the mere price of a $5.00 raffle ticket instead of paying the full price of $349.99 plus tax back when it was first introduced. Hey, it was well worth it. Plus he signed the drum head for me later on after a Purple show. What a great snare though. I of course changed the head and don’t beat on it.
Cheers
January 26th, 2012 at 22:36Have one myself and will be taking it with me on the 13th to have Paicy sign it and add it to my ever growing collection of Purple memorabilia. Nice job by Just drums setting this up by the way.
January 27th, 2012 at 01:20I had this snare but I sold it…now I regret…great one
January 27th, 2012 at 13:14I bought Ian’s signature snare when it came out years back. Best snare i’ve ever used! When you hit a rim shot it gets people’s attention for sure!
January 27th, 2012 at 16:42I wish he could come down under and do a clinic tour…My Fav drummer since I first heard Black Knight…Luv ya Paicy….
January 28th, 2012 at 06:05There s a million drummers around ,some really great..but No one sounds like Paicey
January 28th, 2012 at 21:23I thoroughly enjoyed the clinic Paicey did in Utrecht, way back in the 90’s.
Must have been 1995 or so.
January 29th, 2012 at 13:49The ADVANCE tape of Stranger In Us All was a very hot item amongst us who went to the clinic.
I will never understand why Bonham, Peirt and Moon are rated above Paice…never…
January 29th, 2012 at 13:56Roberto, it’s about band popularity and exposure. Even Charlie Watts from the Stones gets more notoriety. Come On!!!!
February 11th, 2012 at 03:00Nothing is fair in this world… I’ve seen Ringo Starr on some best drummers lists. According to John Lennon Ringo isn’t even the best drummer in the Beatles…
February 22nd, 2012 at 19:29Feb 15, 2012 Winnipeg, Canada.. Just wanted to send a thank you to Mr. Paice for tossing me “The Stick” as he left the stage for the final time. That was a long throw Ian & you gave me a shot at it & there was no bloody way I wasn’t coming down with that one. Truly the greatest catch of my life… sorry honey! Deep Purple Live in Winnipeg, who would have thought. Great night for us.
