I've recently purchased the Ian Paice signature snare drum..... and I'm over the moon with how it plays !
I play in a couple of bands - an indie-type band performing original material and a rock covers band playing, amongst other things, Deep Purple songs. The drum sits neatly into both types of music.
We recorded a demo track at a studio in Manchester last weekend (indie band) and the snare sound was outstanding. No moon gel or tape necessary and the rim shots sounded superb. The engineer was suitably impressed I can tell you.
One thing I'd like to know. My snare drum bears the serial number IP000032. Can you tell me how many of these drums have been made? These drums are likely to become collectors items I would imagine !
There's no chance of me just hanging on to it in the hope that it'll be worth a few more quid in years to come, though. I bought it to play it and play it to death I will !
Thanks for reading my drivel thus far !!
