Stewart Copeland , every single beat is different , he added his own personal touch to every beat , yet he keeps the tempo , very original , he has an uncanny talent and genuine feel to the beat , all long being supersonic fast
If you really listen, it's not just reggae, It never was. They have MAD influences. This is very jazzy and funky. It's spacious...just sick sick. Love them forever. The audience is dead. I would have been BOUNCING!
Sting is such a freakin icon man... They have the bass drum up supper loud and the toms super loud, and then that crack of the snare towards the end, and stings vocals how raspy they are on top of that chord is just EVERYTHING
Steward and Andy don't get the credit they deserve. Absolute top end musicianship and playing feel. What a band the police were. It's still fresh after 43 years.
What people fail to grasp is that these guys were trained musicians with serious chops in a simple New Wave/Punk youthful amatures genre. It was really unfair cause these three experienced guys could blow other musicians away. The whole band was started by Copeland who is truly a genius.
Am I the only one noticing Sting uses a fretless bass? Just amazing… including Stewart out-of-this-world performance, even though he made us used to it! They were very young at this time. Just amazing

Andy Summers does not get as much respect as he deserves. Seriously on of the greatest guitarist ever.
can we all acknowledge, the greatness... of Mr. Stewart Copeland, on drums.

Surprised? Don't be. They sold millions of albums and tickets for three good reasons.
NEVER, has a whole band been greater than the sum of its extraordinary parts.
wow, Copeland is SUCH a busy drummer! Fills out the sound so incredibly well, all these little ghost notes and triplets. Super talented.
Drummer is pure copper
Stewart Copeland is the f-ing bomb. This duel between triplets and fourths eats my brain alive.

Probably the most influential, talented and inventive band of its own era (late 70s - early 80s) after the Beatles (60s)
Mr. Copeland can bang the hell out of those drums and never tire. I just love it.

To me the greatness of the Police is Steward Copeland's drumming prowess. Top 5 all time.
I grew up on the Police and I still love it to this day.
Stewart Copeland - true musician - its like he's playing a whole collection of instruments, not just a "drum kit".
I cant believe how many people aren't dancing to this legendary song!!
This song - just so poetic and timeless.
