Main Instruments Used:
- Electric Guitar – Played by Ritchie Blackmore, the song features one of the most recognizable riffs in rock history. Blackmore used a 1970s Fender Stratocaster and played the riff in fourth intervals, giving it a powerful, almost orchestral sound. His solos and power chords drive the song’s energy.
- Bass Guitar – Roger Glover played a Rickenbacker 4001 bass, providing a solid rhythmic foundation. His bassline follows the main riff, adding depth and groove to the track.
- Drums – Ian Paice played the drums, using a Ludwig drum kit. His drumming includes steady beats, hard-hitting fills, and cymbal crashes, helping drive the song's energy.
- Organ (Hammond B3) – Jon Lord played a Hammond B3 organ with a distorted, overdriven tone, giving the song its signature rich, deep sound. The organ plays a crucial role, complementing the guitar and adding an extra layer of heaviness to the track.
- Vocals – Ian Gillan provided the lead vocals, delivering powerful, bluesy singing that tells the story of the fire at the Montreux Casino in Switzerland (which inspired the song’s lyrics).
Additional Studio Production Elements:
- The song was recorded in a mobile studio (The Rolling Stones Mobile Studio), which gave it a raw, live feel.
- The distortion and overdrive effects used on both the guitar and organ contributed to the heavy rock sound that made Smoke on the Water a defining track in classic rock and heavy metal.
