Ian Paice drum sound varies quite alot over his career.
Here is a link to an mp3 "burn". Is this drumsound similar to what you were looking for?

if it is I could probably think of some ways to get close to it.
Seems pretty "natural". and actually quite dry.
Cymbals are distant, and seem to have a bit of reverb on them.
Ride cymbal is panned to the middle.
Toms panned out to the sides with a natural sound to them....
let me know if the mp3 is close to what you were looking for...
cheers!
