German music site bonedo profiles Ian Paice. And while our regulars would find little new from the provided biography, details of his kit throughout the years may be of interest.

When Ian Paice joined Deep Purple in 1968, the then 19-year-old British drummer probably had no idea that a career with one of the greatest rock bands of all time lay ahead of him. Leaving aside the brief hiatus, the band has now existed for 58 years, and Ian Paice is the only founding member to have been part of every single lineup. More than enough reason, then, to delve into the story of this rock legend. Besides the various stages of his career, you’ll also find everything you need to know about Ian’s equipment at the end of the article. Enjoy the read!
