Ian Paice made his name as drummer with seminal heavy rock band Deep Purple. In fact, throughout their long career, which has seen numerous changes among the other personnel, he is the only drummer the band has had, playing on a whole string of million-selling albums. For three years between mid 1973 and mid 1976, Deep Purple were the biggest rock band in the world, a fact which record sales prove.
It's a fact that the key element underpinning the whole development of heavy rock was the rhythm section and, along with a few others, Ian Paice can lay claim to have been right at the forefront of this movement.
