Ian Paice Heavy metal founding fathers Deep Purple have boasted more band members than Spinal Tap over their nearly 5-decade-long career, but only Iain Paice has ever manned their drum stool, proving himself the equal of every musical style the band has endeavored to tackle throughout that time. That's why he is one of the all time greats. Loudwire

Ian Paice
Without Deep Purple's only continuous member, Ian Paice, there would be no heavy metal drumming. A epic rock legend who has "never played with ear plugs," Paice is an old-school pro who plays fast, furious and full-on. A fan of Frank Sinatra, Ringo Starr and Count Basie drummer Sonny Payne, Paice imbued hits like "Hush" and "Smoke on the Water" with a studied, infectious swing. Deep Purple guitarist Steve Morse told Drum!, "He has a swing that feels just right. And his dynamics are great. The drummer in my trio, Van Romaine, calls him the 'Steve Gadd of rock.' … It’s like a gigantic locomotive thundering down the tracks with everything totally in sync."
