may i ask you how you get that fat ´clicky´ sound out of your bassdrum? how many microphones on the bassdrum and how do you place them? also, what equalizer settings do you use on it?
this recording has the bass drum reso with a port the size of a cd. Place the mic inside about an inch and point towards the beater impact point. Two mics are used when we don't have a port with the batter side 180 deg out of phase. I use no eq or processing, keep it a straight signal. Play with it after it's been recorded if you want.
Groove you are by far one of the best and most skilled drummers and musicians on youtube... DO you think Double Bass is a bit overused and overratted in todays society
Thank you for those kind words! Double is definitely overused. I come across many drummers who can't play my kit because there is no double pedal...I always laugh when I tell them you don't need it :)
Lovely work! Enjoyed you comment about double pedals being over used. I have been playing for nearly 30 years but I was starting to feel embarrassed by only using 1 pedal!
@GrooveDrummin Actually a drum set is Hi Hat - Snare - Bass drum but every drummers also use toms and other cymbales right ? I mean, yes, double pedal isn't ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for drummers, but you can do so much cool thing with it. I'm not speaking about playing 16th note on 3000bpm, also the double isn't used only in metal, but there's so much cool groove you can do with it. With all my respect, I also think you're the grooviest drummer on Youtube. ( Sorry for bad english, I'm Belgian )
And for all of you saying that Ian Paice did this with one pdeal...It's now widely known that he borrowed one of Keith Moon's bass drums when they recorded this song in the studio (The Who were recording in the room next door!) and DP also brought an extra bass drum along when they played this song live - just search for "Deep Purple - Fireball (Live)" and you will see some nice black and white footage from 1972 of Ian using two bass drums!
Man, can I ask you a favour? Can you tell me if you think that your Iron Cobra Rolling Glide is really good to play something like Ian Paice and John Bonham?
I tried the IC and it is a good pedal but you are stuck with one cam. I like the Pearl Eliminator better...more adjustments, change cam easily. I preferred the rolling glide over the power glide on the IC...smoother stroke.
BUT...foot technique is more important than the type of pedal. Technique is what will get you closer to play like our heroes.
@toolboxdam I know man... But I didn't know what to do. By the way, in these months I've increased the exercises with the single bass pedal and it's going now. But anyway you cannot play this song with a single one.
I went to one of Paice's clinics and met him in '99. What a modest man! At the clinic he described how he tried to play fireball with one pedal. He said he could get the speed but couldn't get the power,especially maintining it through the song. The Who had been playing in the next room. He grabbed one of keith Moon's bass drums. He used one premier kick and one ludwig kick, both 22", and as they say, the rest is history!
hfranke07 - this is the one song that Paice used double kicks. As I understand it the Who was recording in the same studio at the time and he actually borrowed one of Keith Moon's kick drums for the song.
Hi! Man, your drums sound perfectly! I like that! You are a very talented drummer too. Thanks for the show, how to play this great rhythm from master drummer mr. Ian Paice! Bye, maestro! :)
@GrooveDrummin :Yeah! Ian Paice said he used 2 bass drums 'couse he was able to play the riff with one pedal, but not for all the song, so he used 2 bass drums. Now uses a double pedal.
Thanks, this one here has the kick tuned loose reso with 5 inch port, loose batter (ps3). No internal dampening. Mic inside pointing towards beater. No eq, no fx until mix down. Even then only a little 65hz and 6k boost and slight compression. Thanks again!
hallo Dan... you are like a machine.. when i her you play, i always have a big smile on my face.. i love deep purple, and you Dan play the drumms so right.. keep up the good work.
Not bad. Constructive criticism - when you play a fill with your hands, don't drop your feet. Do something, otherwise it's almost like "dead air" underneath. your right hand is stronger and hitting harder than your left. emphasis should be on your left hand and eveness, on the snare.
Somewhere I read Paice himselfelf tell that he used two pedals on the original track, simply because it sounded more powerful. I'm playing it with one pedal, it's not that fast, but it's not a good idea ... something is missing ...
sweet...your pretty good. I went to an Ian Paice Drumclinic, and asked him bout this intro....He showed us, how he played it, WITH ONE BASSDRUM PEDAL! He's insanely good....but with 2 its also a pretty clean job....way to go..
I used to manage the Drum dept at Manchester PMT. They're are are expensive but well worth the money the Iron Cobra's. You cetainly do them justice, nice clean,confident style ! Great !
Thanks. Yes, they all use single kick but Paice had his roadies bring in a second bass drum exclusively for this tune...and the speed king is a great pedal but try out a new Pearl Eliminator, much better pedal.
Thanks. Yes, they all use single kick but Paice had his roadies bring in a second bass drum exclusively for this tune...
I only found this out when I got scandanavian nites a few years ago. The cheating bastard! - no probs it just meant my BD was not as slow as I thought!
DZ, your stuff is FANTASTIC! I've been playing about 4 years longer than you, but I'm not even in your league! Wish I lived near you, I'd pay you for lessons!
Easy for people to criticize & say do this, dont do that, etc, but I think you're right up there with the greats... Buddy, Neil, Aldridge, Ian, Torpey, & the likes. The only diff is, you're not as famous! :)
Your chops are world class, dude! Guess I'm gonna have to suscribe to your channel! Keep up the awesome vids, bro!
Thank you, Thank you! I am truely honoured to hear your kind comments. Hopefully, I can get more recognition through YouTube...it is very exciting to hear all the positive comments from everyone. I have always been about the music and not the fame or fortune. Actually, I turned down many bands because they did not do it for the music but other things like, girls, money, etc.
Not quite right but a damn fine job. The very first figure is a tom tom triplet. also aren't you cheating a bit by using a double pedal. I believe Ian did on a single pedal.
Ian Paice used one of Keith Moon's bass drums when they were recording this in the studio, alongside his own kit, as The Who were recording at the same studio!
Also, the only other Purple song with double bass is "Hey Cisco", off the 1996 album "Purpendicular", with Steve Morse on guitar. The album itself is a beautiful piece of work from start to finish, with every track being unique and exciting. Same goes for the follow-up, "Abandon". The two successive albums after that, "Bannanas", and "Rapture Of The Deep", didn't fare as well, possibly because Jon Lord dropped out, and was replaced by Don Airey.
If I'm not mistaken, on the record Paice maintains the beat on the bell of his ride cymbal, and maintains the double bass pattern throughout the song, not switching to hi-hat and single pedal during the verse part, as you're doing. Am I wrong? I've been listening to their music for 35 years now.
Yes, half right. I got around to listening to the album aftr a few years and the ride remains the same but the double kick has a different pattern, still double kick, but not steady 8th notes. I did neither in this take but the single kick I did had the same feel. This was a spur of the moment kind of thing...trying out the new Iron Cobra. I will probably redo it for accuracy.
I think I read the interview on drummerworld but Paice has definitely said that when they recorded the intro he borrowed a bass drum from the next door studio - so it is two bass drums on the record - and the bass drum belonged to Mr K Moon.
Thanks, Deep Purple's middle name was improv. Get a copy of Purple's DVD "Scandinavian Nights". You'll see a roadie bring out a second bass drum and you tell me if this live version of Fireball is the same as the album ;) Killer DVD btw...
Yeah, get some sticks and practice on a phone book, the rebound is close to that of a drum. That's what I used to do when we were on the road and couldn't practice on my kit.
Wow, great playing! Not familiar with the song, but you sound great!

Bridging- It's when you place your foot in between your bass pedal and your hi-hat pedal.
Therefore causing your hi-hat to keep time while your shredding your doubles.
If you don't understand I can try to explain a little better. :)
Btw big fan :) Keep up the god work :)

double pedal is good for this, well done, but alot of improv :P even if it isnt fun to copy it perfectly, i took the time to.

Thanks, Deep Purple's middle name was improv. Get a copy of Purple's DVD "Scandinavian Nights". You'll see a roadie bring out a second bass drum and you tell me if this live version of Fireball is the same as the album ;) Killer DVD btw...

i don't use a double pedal for this song. do you think it's necessary use double pedal or i can play this song with single pedal?

If it sounds right it's not necessary but those are 16th notes and you may find it easier to use a double pedal.

ha sounds like a pretty logical way to do,my only obstacle is getting a set to practice on
aaronmmcintosh 3 years ago
Yeah, get some sticks and practice on a phone book, the rebound is close to that of a drum. That's what I used to do when we were on the road and couldn't practice on my kit.
