This is a percussionist. Those of us who were trained know how to do all of this. Most rock drummers only learn to play the kit and pick up other stuff as they are professional and have the time and money to do so. Copeland is still talented and a wonderful musician for creating this piece and art.
Killer percussionist indeed. The guy can randomly slip in and out of Caribbean style polyrhythms like it's nothing at all, just second nature. Most groups that incorporate that type of temporal complexity would have multiple players carry it out, but Copeland? He's got it completely under control by himself. I've been a minor percussionist for around five decades and there's no way I could pull that off for more than a short fill on my very best days.
Perfect example of why Sting ultimately did the right thing by cutting Stewart and Andy into the songwriting royalties for the Police back catalogue, as none of those wonderful Police songs would have been what they were without their brilliant contributions. I mean, it should have happened in the first place, but better late than never.
I'm a 57 year old drummer. When I was 18 ish , I was told to listen to Stewart Coperland and the police by my drum teacher, and try to get to his level . I never have reached his level , but I've done ok !!
Stewart isnt a drummer, he is a percussionist!!! And that was awesome. Im sure or i hope the boys appreciate that Stewart can do all that instead of hiring a "tour percussionist"
Beyond the obvious playing skill, the thing that most strikes me about this is how creative his arrangement is. Going from cymbals/crotales to timpani, starting and ending with gong, adding the drum set at the appropriate place... just an amazing way of conceptualizing the song for live performance.
They “de-constructed” a lot of the songs for the reunion tour in such great ways! I was fortunate enough to see this tour and have seats behind Stewart. Since I’m a drummer also, it was perfect!
If you haven't listened to "Stewart Copeland, The Rhythmatist", it's an a really great dip into world music that any Copeland or percussion fan will completely enjoy. I completely wore out a cassette copy of it in the late 80's. It's a gem.

Go sit down and STFU stop trying and failing to bother people for attention nobody care s about you ya crotch roach..🖕
Effervescent. Joyful, nuanced playing shimmers and shines. Everything Stewart plays is intentional: well placed sounds sparkle and dance, letting the song come through without superfluous distractions. The brilliance of blending of sounds exudes taste.
Creativity is off the charts here but… the best thing he has achieved in a world full of drummers is ORIGINALITY. He’s doing something other drummers aren’t necessarily doing regardless of skill level, the dude is original. Quite an accomplishment!
It's always so obvious when trolls like you are actually envious of the person you're trolling, and of course trolling is the only thing that you're actually capable of doing, as opposed to say, playing an instrument well. You're a "master mixer" eh ? Yeah I have my doubts about that. Master mixer of cocktails maybe, since you would have to be really wasted to leave a comment so simplistically stupid. OK, back to trolling for you, my friend. Remember...trolling is a full time job for you fools, so don't waste another minute... @@vintagemxer9165
I know that there were sometimes tensions within the band, but I hope Sting and Andy appreciate the wild inventiveness, fascination, brilliance and professionalism that you brought to the percussion component of The Police. Lord knows I appreciate it. When you return to that tightly tuned snare near the end is sublime. This is not the work of a musician trying to repeat his group's greatest hits, it's someone who is truly trying to find new ground to explore within existing structures.
Such an inspiration to any musician. To say he mastered the drums is an understatement! Stewart we freaking love you! This song is beautiful I sing it to my girlfriend with my trash voice but the energy is all in there!
@@DameTremonti I know it's really hard to follow along the OPs post with 4 whole replies. You might want to at least try. Further, you asserting Peart wasn't as good, is irrelevant to how the industry and everyone involved in it views where Peart ranks.
All three of them lived and breathed music. All of their most intense arguments were over music. I'm just happy they respected each other's musical skills enough to reunite when they did. We're all better for it.
I was there, BEAUTIFUL Recital, The Police The band of My Life... i enjoy that Magnificent NIGHT, Unforgettable, Thank you Stewart, Andy and Sting for the magnificent Moment,
The tastiest pop drummer of all time. No wonder you left such an impression on Peart. A significant part of Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, and especially Signals, were attempts by Rush to be the Police. (or, maybe because they were Canadian, they were trying to be “The Mounties”) 😂😂😂

Stewart is the most unique & hard-working, & astute drummer & composer, of many, long-standing years. This is eye-candy for the soul... in sound... 🤩🌸✨💫💜
A true percussionist. And I love it ins't a gimmick. That percussion sound is perfect for that song and with the release in the middle with a traditional back best is just awesome.
Amazing..ppl don’t realize how many music lessons are in Police albums..let alone the live performances..Copeland’s playing is creativity at it’s best🍻🍻🍻

Stewart copperland in hiss generations and epics decades was creative and magic artist that inspired many drummers tutors and drums players around the world. I saw many hits and creations of him and I growth with the police hits and sucess in my hole. Love you and respect you til today you are a positive reference and inspiration for me forever. God bless and thank you Steve ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Philly Joe Jones, Sammy Davis Jr., Harvey Mason, Billy Cobham, Stewart Copeland - my all time favorite drummers and influences, in different ways. (Sammy was a top notch tap dancer and also played the drums really well.) But Stewart Copeland always stood out for me. Listening to him drumming with The Police was and still is very very humbling. When I was a teen I simply couldn't even understand what he was playing - it was so creative, unpredictable and virtuoso. And tight, tight, tight. I was listening to and playing almost exclusively bebop/jazz/funk at the time. The Police was the only rock band whose music really, really fascinated me. (And Stewart's drumming scared me. How could anyone be this good? So unbound from convention? So steeped in dub?) Their music is still so musically rich and sonically exciting. One of the best bands ever, no question. (The only thing I disliked were some of the guitar solos, hah!) Wrapped Around Your Finger is and remains a masterpiece of music and one of my all time favorite tracks. It immediately immerses my mind in an archetypal story kind of mode. Thank you for the music and all the emotions.
Wow, never saw this performance..... Stewart is a beast, this is so relaxing to listen to, perfect rain or snow music, really all year around but those moments are the best time to listen to this song
My favourite drummer and one of the world’s finest, not just drummer but musician! A privilege to have seen you perform and looking forward to the next time. 👏👏👏
Back when I was a teenager in the 80's I was becoming a drummer I was raised on a lot of heavy metal and hard rock. I guess at the time I wanted to party and just play loud and fast. At the time the Police were everywhere with this album and on the radio and MTV. As I got older I became exposed to different styles and time signatures. Neil Peart, Alex Van Halen, and Dave Lombardo were my favorite drummers. I knew who the Police were and some of their songs but I guess I wanted to hear loud distorted guitars, bass, and heavy drums. I always liked this song and it always stuck in my head. Now years later and having listened to all different kinds of music and watching different drummers on CZcams I have newfound respect for Stewart Copeland's drumming and I really like how explains what he's playing and his approach to the drums. He seems like he's a nice guy and respectful of other drummers in his interviews. Anyway, I love this song and his playing on it. 🥁
Just incredible ✝️🙏🙏🙏 an absolutely amazing drummer, musician, innovator and as Ginger Baker himself would say! You got to have fucking TIME!! Coming from the legendary Ruth's of JAZZ ginger had it and Stuart has bags of it!! Both Ginger and Stuart had alongside Jazz, heavy influences in African beats which shines effortlessly through their drumming, alongside so many different styles, with genius and class, perfection and time 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🙏✝️
I am very moved by this video - it is beautiful music to start with, played by highly accomplished musicians which makes it pleasant to let wash through me. But to see Stewart… dance? The set around him is the body, and he is the blood, the heart, it is so uplifting. Watching an artist live their art like this is incredibly uplifting to me. Thank you!
To call Stewart Copeland a mere drummer is a disservice... He is a master percussionist AND multi instrumentalist and composer. There is not a single instrument on that stage that he cannot play to a highly professional level. He is a prodigous PURE musician.
@@definitelynotcainan3353 Being a percussionist is much easier than being a drummer. I bet you good money that Copeland couldn't play that fretless bass worth a crap.
I've never been so inspired and discouraged at the same time! I'll never ever ever be able to play anything close to Stewart Copeland...The undisputed 🐐 Goat of percussion
Ok, I had FOR CERTAIN saw The Police live at two of their reunion show tours back in 2007, two nights in a row. This drum setup of Stewart's is from that tour.
I played timpani all throughout high school and college in my schools' symphonic bands. Those days are long gone and I haven't played in years, but I still like seeing rock drummers incorporate them into their playing. Stewart does an excellent job making use of timpani in the choruses. I've watched this video about four times since stumbling upon it this week.
There are drummers, there are musicians, and then there's Stewart Copeland.
Everything about this comment is flawless except Coper. It's Cope. But who gives a shit, legends don't need names.
@@Evsta ... damn you auto correct, is all I have to say 😅
This is a percussionist. Those of us who were trained know how to do all of this. Most rock drummers only learn to play the kit and pick up other stuff as they are professional and have the time and money to do so.
Copeland is still talented and a wonderful musician for creating this piece and art.
he cant be beat
Wrong!!!
There are two kinds of drummers: drummers and Bill Bruford.
At that level, playing that many instruments. He is no longer a "drummer". He is a Percussionist. What a treat to see a performer like that.

Sting did the right thing. A lot of greedy songwriters never did the right thing like in the group The Band
When I thought they were still arguing over it
Isn’t andy sueing sting over every breath you take?
Not just a drummer but the ultimate professor of percussion
Exactly! Well said
I'm a 57 year old drummer. When I was 18 ish , I was told to listen to Stewart Coperland and the police by my drum teacher, and try to get to his level . I never have reached his level , but I've done ok !!

I am so blessed to be alive to have seen this performance even if only on youtube! Stewart, a magical artist!! Such an amazing band!
I needed this perspective change today. Thank you for teaching me how to be more positive.

@@user-te6wt5rk3v You're gonna be ok.
what yr is this?
Heard this song so many times but never relaized what's really happening in terms of drums/percussions. I'm speechless. This is brilliant!
Wild, because I'm a drummer and I always thought of this song as a skeleton with a drum solo built around it.
Agreed!
They “de-constructed” a lot of the songs for the reunion tour in such great ways! I was fortunate enough to see this tour and have seats behind Stewart. Since I’m a drummer also, it was perfect!
Did Andy and Sting play on the tour you saw?
IKR!
To call Copeland a drummer is an understatement he’s a genius
Stewart Copeland has to be one of the best Drummer/percussionists ever. Just so many sonic textures, just beautiful.
If you haven't listened to "Stewart Copeland, The Rhythmatist", it's an a really great dip into world music that any Copeland or percussion fan will completely enjoy. I completely wore out a cassette copy of it in the late 80's. It's a gem.
He loves banging stuff
I was a metalhead all through the 80s with ONE EXCEPTION. The Police.
Same here...
Yep, but I kept it hidden. I didn't want other metalheads to know I was listening to "that band the girls like".
Right!?!? (Jazz guy here … with The same one exception...😁😎🥁
Replace metal head with Deadhead.
I WAS THERE!
It was a performance that exceeded expectations.
Beck opened the show.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Totally agree.
Gotta love the way he plays with such precision and forethought while making it LOOK like he’s just messing around.
I saw the Sychronicity Tour in Denver in 1983. My seat was about 50 feet straight back of the drum kit. Stewart kicks and plays the drums REALLY HARD!
He used to for sure. If you watch him on the kit in this performance, it's all finesse.
Simply beautiful!
The incomparable Stewart Copeland! The best Police song! Enough said!
Such an inspiration to any musician. To say he mastered the drums is an understatement! Stewart we freaking love you! This song is beautiful I sing it to my girlfriend with my trash voice but the energy is all in there!
Sting is a great musician. Stewart is an obnoxiously great musician. How these two have not deleted each other in the past 45 years is amazing.
Stewart is a natural drummer. The beats flow out of him.
Textbook definition of the difference between a drummer and a true percussionist. Copeland was one of the best!
I was very fortunate to watch this performance live back in 2007. Unforgettable.
I got to see The Police during the big reunion tour in 2007 and clearly remembered this number as one of the highlights of the show.
Saw them in Montreal in 2007. I had the best time of my life
Me too. In Melbourne for me at the MCG.
Saw them in Toronto what a joy! Always loved the Police never thought I would ever get to see them live ❤
Watch Rick Beato’s interview of Stewart Copeland to get Stewart’s perspective on this song. Very fascinating.
The coolest drummer in Rock History for sure. That was awesome!
That PAISTE gong is 80 grand fricking awesome!
For me Stewart is the best rock drummer of all time! Period.
