The Velvet Underground drummer Mark Nauseef. After Sesnick failed to show up in London to meet the band with the necessary money and equipment, they played the handful of dates to secure enough money for flights back to the US, and Yule left the band when the brief tour ended in December 1972. Yule recorded the Polydor album (ultimately titled "Squeeze") under the Velvet Underground name virtually by himself, with only the assistance of Deep Purple drummer Ian Paice and a few other session musicians in an unspecified London studio. While Yule intended to recruit Tucker to play drums on "Squeeze", Sesnick vetoed
Ian Paice 2014 2015 2016 Today Ian uses Pearl drumkits as his main performing drums, incorporating Paiste cymbals, Remo drumheads and Pro-Mark drumsticks. He used Ludwig kits during the seventies and early eighties in remarkable large sizes: 26" Bass drum, 16" Tom, an 18 & 20" floor tom and 14 x 6.5" Supraphonic snare which was a blueprint for his signature snare from Pearl. In 1982 he switched companies, because Ludwig's development stalled and he got a better deal from Pearl. He also prefers a single bass drum set-up, both live and in the studio. Pearl Drums produce his signature snare drum.
