Top 5 Greatest Drum Solos Of ALL TIME! #3 Ian Paice - "The Mule"

We’re back with part three of my Top 5 Greatest Drum Solos of All Time countdown, and this time, we’re talking about none other than Ian Paice and his legendary solo on The Mule! 🥁🔥

Ian Paice has always been a powerhouse behind the kit, but this solo hit me differently when I first heard it. As a young drummer, his speed, control, and raw energy were beyond inspiring—but what really blew my mind was catching him sneaking in licks from Buddy Rich and other jazz legends! Seeing a rock drummer seamlessly incorporate jazz phrasing into a hard-hitting solo was a game-changer for me. It showed me just how deep drumming goes and how interconnected different styles really are.

What do you think of Ian Paice’s playing? Did you catch any other influences in this solo? Drop a comment and let’s talk drums! 🎶🥁🔥
