See the man behind the sticks.Ian Paice,the man ,the myth,the legand.The driving force behind my favorite group "DEEP PURPLE".A very well done production of life behind the kit.I really felt a natural connection,like he was talking to a fan, not a drummer.But I would think that if you were a "stick man", you would get alot of useful information.I just love to here and see him play.He comes across as a guy that anyone could talk to.

I am and always have been (I'm 47 years) a Purple fan (especially mark II). I was looking forward to this dvd. I must admit that I didn't quite know what to expect but certainly not this. It is mainly a presentation of how his drumkit is being build. That's interesting, but I was expecting some personal quotings and some practical drumming from the Man. So maybe it's a good dvd but wrong expectations from my side. Well, in two weeks I will enjoy him live in Copenhagen on the Rapture of the Deep tour. What I say is that it is not a bad dvd as long as you know what to expect.

I have listened to Deel Purple for about 30 yrs and have listened to the drum solos over and over. Unfortunatley when I finally got a chance to see them live, he did not play a solo.
This DVD shows him talking about drumming, making of drums and also lots of footage of him playing live. It is a great DVD for any Purple fan, especially if you like the drumming. I wish I could have attended a clinic while they were in town, as they are shown on the DVD to be very interesting and a good chance to meet a Legend of the drums.
