Don’t play too hard
Back in June, Ian Paice spoke to Russian drumming magazine Back Beat. And what you’d expect to be a quite technical talk with a trade rag turned out to be an entertaining conversation that is very accessible to laypeople. There is a lot of wisdom in here for an aspiring musician to soak up.
Thanks to Back Beat for not overdubbing the interview and to Space Truckin from deep-purple.ru forum for the heads up.
I love you Ian Paice (but not in a gay way!). What a man….. Smiles to ya!.

August 12th, 2016 at 18:13Very informative. The only thing I do not like that much is to call the new songs “babies” in comparison with the old ones and bury them inbetween. Unfortunately they have used to do this since 1984 and did not give a chance to so many great songs.
