- Here I am attempting to be Stewart Copeland for 5 minutes. He has always been one of my favourite drummers! I used a new camera for this video. I bought a small GoPro Hero 2 camera, a cool waterproof, high definition video camera that is more geared toward sports related video. You can strap it to your wrist, chest or head and attach it to helmets. In this video, I've got the camera strapped to my head so it gives a unique "drummer POV (point of view)" If you want to see how the camera reacts to running and going underwater, check out this video...
• Video
I filmed the song a few times, Once with the GoPro on my head and the other times without it.
As in all my other videos, the audio is recorded once...usually while I'm filming the front view. In this case, I had two cameras filming while I recorded. The front view and side view. All other views were filmed separately. If I make a mistake while filming another view, I always revert back to the front view for that scene.

MAN THATS JUST PERFECT PLAYING.
Thanks very much!
Well done sir.

Getting a compliment from you is pretty impressive..Watching your videos makes me want to quit!😀
Hey I'd absolutely LOVE if you covered this with your personal style! It's one of my all timers
I didn't know Sting was such a good drummer!
Stewart Copeland is one of the highest rated drummers EVER...he has reggae and jazz influences in his fling ! All 3 Police members are very intelligent and talented individuals. You won't find that many good bands like this in the next decade!
YaHozna1 came here to see this!
Ruben Beltrandelrio wtf is your problem
I guess that's why he went solo
Everyone thought that hahaha
Well done. You don't see too many people playing this correctly let alone as tight as that. Pearl should give you an endorsement.
Thanks very much Frank....and , yes they should!! LOL
Copeland is a genius. Nice job!
Thanks!
Stewart Copeland would give this a 👍🏻
He's played this song on the drums so much he's actually turned into Sting.
@Ruben Beltrandelrio it's a fucking joke
Ruben Beltrandelrio ‘like your face’ was the best joke you had, lol.
You almost played it exactly like the original song! That is exactly what I want from a cover! Great job!
You know, i grew up casually hearing so many bands and songs that i just did not appreciate anywhere near enough, and didnt realize it until my 30's. Sooo much music just in the 70's and 80's alone with such depth and such genius and dynamics baked in, that is soooo easy to miss, if you are just a "casual" listener. I have since repented of that sin, and now study music at a deeper level. Its like a magical force in this world, for real. 🎉
Yeah, I tend to be stuck in the music of the 70's and 80's. Of course, my age plays a big factor.
I love those polyrhythms with the hi-hat and the rim of the snare in this song. You do them with so much ease!
+kchandaman
Love those too. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! Hats are 14" Sabian AA's. 16" Zildjian crash to my left (not sure what series). Sabian 18" to my right (again, not sure what series). 10" Sabian B8 splash.
Didn’t know you were lead singer for the police though 🤷♂️🤘
I had a friend that was a Police junkie. I know he would like your video. He passed away a couple years ago. Although your cover on this song is stop on, I can't help remembering my friend of 40+ years. Thanks for the memories
Adam, sorry to hear about your friend. I'm glad my video was able to spark some happy memories. Thanks for the kind words.
Man, you nailed that tune. What I like about your vids is your playing is spot on and your drums sound so damn great.
Kevin N Thanks!
That ride in between the hi-hat doe.....................
drummerdude0515 just like the original song! Copeland was such a creative drummer on coke xD
@@benst2594 The only difference is, Copeland overdubbed on the track. This guy played it in one go!
@@jqulrich No? he has done it live too.. it was all on one go
@@benst2594 Copeland overdubbed it in the studio
@@j.warburton5269 Is there a source for the info provided?
This is gonna be a tremendous help, thanks! Great playing
Thanks, glad the video will help!
Most people miss Stewart's 4 on the floor kick drum signature. You nailed it.
Shades of Keith Moon. It lets you do all the crazy stuff upstairs without ruining the bass and guitar players' timing.
Having listened to this song for many many years. I never knew the drums on it were so intricate
Yup!
Hi Vitotone! Thanks for the comment. I generally spend alot of time figuring out a song by ear. I have a fairly long commute back and forth to work so I listen to a song over and over in my car while keeping time on the steering wheel. Once I get the song tattood in my brain, I'll take it to the kit. For difficult fills, I sometimes slow the mp3 down in a sound editing program like Audacity to figure out what the drummer's doing. I don't use charts and have never taken lessons.
Wow! Another brilliant cover. Respect to anyone that can keep up with Stewart Copeland. The guy is a genius, and so musical. And you rocked this. Great song, and a great cover. I'm subbing. You are a KILLER drummer, brother.
Thanks very much Jimmy Z!!
i love how you just appeared out of thin air
"on point!" love that cymbal work, to me that's what seperated Stewart from other drummers in the alternative/new wave rock music scene was that he made great work and lots of it with cymbals!
2:27 I love this part. Btw you look like Sting hahah
I do?? :)
Domenic Nardone not really, sorry... But Stewart Copeland would be proud of you :)
it's actually supposed to be played a tad differently
JuanBluesMan I fucking love that double hi-hat, probably my favorite part of the song
Fuck yes I was trying to find a video to learn from and he does it spot on!! :D
Brilliant playing to a difficult number. Loved how you added the ride bell to the main beat. Many drummers say that Stewart used to add stuff in studio and layer it on the track. You actually could do all this and more. Many congratulations to you on playing such a lovely piece. The fact that you have not taken lessons and are self taught is amazing. Best of luck with your God given talent.
Thanks very much for the kind words!!
Wow. That had/has to be so fun to play because I had a blast watching it. Great job 👏
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
You are great Domenic! 👍🏼
Salutes fromn Coahuila, Mexico.
I appreciate that! Thank you! Greetings from Canada!
2:27 i always heard that ride cymbal bell in the song, i’m so happy i found this video!!! thank you.
no problem!
The quality is excellent- so precise and accurate.
Love all the flourishes- power and subtlety together- the hardest trick to pull off
I've been drumming for over forty years and have played this tune live many times.You absolutely nailed it.Great taste Dom.
Perfection!!! Perfect timing, perfect rhythm, critical hits!! ❤️
Thanks very much! I always try and learn (play) the song as accurately as possible. Sometimes I'm way off LOL!
I love this drum cover! The sound of your mic'ed kit is just awesome!!
You nailed it. Friggin’ awesome. Drums sound fantastic too. Keep it up.
Bravo Maestro! I am always entertained and learning something when I watch your covers.
WOW...I really loved how u play it and the editing it's great too, I felt the 80's vibe. Congrats man. Really well played.
You made my night dude
Thanks very much!
This is one of the hardest songs to play on drums and you sir have nailed it! I love this cover
Thanks very much!
Maravilhosa execução! Tenho certeza que o Stewart Copeland está satisfeito! Parabéns!
Once again...outstanding!
This was so well played, i got goosebumps
I think I can play to this after watching this video, thanks for uploading
You're welcome Captain. Glad I could help!
Fantastic Cover.
Fabulous! Tight, smacking grooving beat. Your drum tuning, particularly the snare, kick and cymbals tones work so well with this tune. Love your hi-hat work. This is a tune I've been wanting to cover. Great job Domenic.
best drumming cover i have ever seen, fantastic
SUPERB.
one of the best drum covers of any song I have seen.
+Gordon Morrison
Thanks Gordon!
Excelente!! Buen trabajo 👍
So clean and sounds great. Stewart would be proud.
Again Domenic!!! just the way i'ts was recorded, the hit in the ride in between the hihat, even Steward Copeland forgot that when playing in concert....So Glad to find someone who is really listening the songs....Just...Awesome and thank's again Domenic....this is what playing drums is about...
Brilliant, really well played Domenic. Really got all the little sounds in there. I heard on the album version they used 2 separate drum tracks (but haven't heard official confirmation - if someone knows the truth) and you did really well to incorporate all of the sounds and make it sound really good! Bravo!
Some overdubs on the ride bell rather than two separate tracks; which sounds like either/or, rather than the additional pings that are present in this arrangement.
Amazing work! ^^
favourite drum track, awesome job
Very solid cover man.... And Stewart obviously overdubbed that ride part that you played damn well live... i have palyed that one before and no so much difficult is the ability to keep it steadily articulate and you did a great job there!!!! Stewart is the one who pulled me off the guitar and onto the drums.... I love the way that man plays... Live, he really blows your mind... You captured his energy very well... You seem very free when you play while at the same time minding the parts of that song...
Thanks for the comment Carl! I appreciate the kind words!
Very nice i wish i could learn to play like you! congrats
Thanks Miguel!
Play everyday for an hour and come back in one year and tell us you can play it.
absolutely rock solid! loved it, a breakdown would be might useful though.... :)
Man, you're simply inspiring, watching your videos makes me want to keep on playing the drums and improve my way of doing it. Keep rocking !!!
Awesome man. You killed it. Great job.
Copeland looks really different now, kinda like Sting. But I know my Copeland when I hear him drum, so I guess I must've entered the Twilight Zone somewhere.
I hate it when this happens.
Another guy who thinks I look like Sting...LOL
man , you are a solid player . pro
Thanks!
THIS IS CRAZY GOOD!! Like PERFECT
I have watched this 100 times if once , just love this song. Great Cover Domenic thanks for the Post.
LOL!! Thanks for all the views Ronald!
Loving the groove at 2:27 :)
Domenic is a genuine Superstar, as good if not better than Copeland :-)
Thanks but....I don't even come CLOSE to Copeland :)
Love that bass drum shot, real sweet!
Simply breathtaking skill and dedication
Thank you! Cheers!
nailed that sweet.
Dammit man.....what a clean cover....nice accents on the hi-hat ...right down to the rim shots at the end...not an easy cover to play...takes a real drummer to play that cover correctly...it's either right or wrong..no in-between....nice work man
That was sweet man - not for the faint hearted you absolutely nailed it - well done!!!!
Nice job! I'm learning this for the band I'm in. Your video really helps!
fffuuuuuuuccccckkkkk that was awesome. You nailed Stewart!!!
Top marks for drumming, sound quality and camera angles, keep it up!
Great cover! Lots of energy, I like it.
Whenever I need to look up a drum cover to learn a song for our band and I see one by domenic then thats the only one i need to click, because its always the best!
absolutely incredible! I love your feel to playing and you have matched Stewart Copeland to a tee! Amazing!
Thanks :)
Simply perfect Dom ... drumming, sound, video ... and Copeland is a monster drummer for sure!
Very very nice! I have to learn this for my band and watching you has definitely helped a lot to break it down! Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you!
Wow ,simply just wow! What a precision! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you! Cheers!
great job, I need to play this for an upcoming band night at work!! Massive help thanks
Totally LOVE the first four tacts!!!
That was awesome Domenic!
Excellent Video Production and Excellent Drumming.
Man, that was just INCREDIBLE.... This song has always intrigued me. I watched and listened to every beat and hit. You nailed this PERFECTLY! I had the pleasure of meeting Stewart Copeland a few years ago and I didn't even have the words to tell him how amazing I thought he is... Anyhow, congrats on performing this masterpiece beautifully!! -hartley
You make it look so easy!!! Great job !
This was awesome to watch. Copeland is also one of my fave drummers of all time and you did a great job.
Thanks very much!
Excellent, love it, great job.
Flawless. Victory. Outstanding.
Thanks
Wow is all I can say. Absolutely perfect. Even did the rimshots in between the ride flourishes towards the end. Copeland would be proud if he saw this. He probably has honestly.
Thanks very much King Echo!
One of my all time favorite songs and you my friend, NAILED IT! Thanks for posting this one Dom. Great demonstration, mix and camera work too!
Rob
Had so much fun watching this video. Very well done. Stewart Copeland is no easy drummer to get and you really do it well!
Incredible! Spot-on! Wow, thanks for this awesome lesson.
Thanks very much! Glad you liked it!
Oh that is just fantastic! I'm going to have to go back and listen to the isolated drums now and try to up my game :)
wonderful cover!!!! the best drum cover of this beatiful song
Flawless. Really nice job, top notch video work too!
Really nice groove, Domenic... Stewart would be proud of this cover... LOVE IT !!!
Thanks George!
Hey Man!
Thanks for recording this cover.
Watching you I learned how he plays some parts that I had doubts.
Good job!
Totally awesome man. Absolutely fantastic cover.
HM Kahn Thanks!
Great work. i love the drummer in the police, and you did it great justice.
That was an excellent job Domenic.I was playing my ole bass right along with ya !!
There are many covers but this is the best!
Very impressive! I love the changes in rhythm in this song and you nailed it.
Thanks very much for the comment!
Right on man! Captures the feel beautifully!
Thanks!
Perfect cover. Wouldn't want it any other way!
wow that was awesome. wanne try and study this in. you're a fantastic drummer and your kit sounds great too
Best cover I've seen!
I keep listening to the original and your cover back-to-back, and boy must I say that I'm really amazed at your attention to detail! Loved it to the last bit. It never really is easy to replicate a Stewart Copeland track as is. Kudos!(Special mention to the parts with the double hi-hat and ride, and with the intricate rim-shots)
