PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- About Ian Paice Born in Nottingham Paice got his first drum kit at age 15 and began his professional career in the early 1960s. The first band he was in was called Georgie & the Rave-Ons which after being renamed the Shindigs released their first single featuring the 17-year-old Paice and George Adams. In 1966 Paice joined the MI5 which soon changed its name to the Maze. Primarily a club band the Maze produced a number of singles recorded mainly in Italy and France. The Maze featured vocalist Rod Evans who alongside Paice was to form the original line-up of Deep Purple in March 1968. Given that Deep Purples first choice as drummer Bobby Woodman had expressed dislike for the bands musical direction the group hastily arranged an audition for Paice with guitarist Ritchie Blackmore leading the charge. Blackmore in interviews years later stated: "I had looked for Ian Paice for about a year after seeing him perform in Hamburg. Hes an incredible drummer. And he was the motor of the band". Before arriving at their current lineup Deep Purple has undergone numerous lineup changes since its inception with Paice being the last remaining original member that remains active until today in the band.
