Definitely underrated drummer. Anytime I see a 'greatest drummers' list without Gil Moore, Bill Ward and Stewart Copeland, or Neil Peart not top 1 or 2 and some Buddy Rich up in Top 10 ... I know it's bogus. Charley Charles was way better than Buddy Rich. No contest.
before we saw them live, I told my buddy, you're going to see one of the best drummers ...he might look like a math teacher but he's amazing... he later agreed. Great band!
Police stripped back the song to put Stewart Copeland on display. Normally a drummer fits into bass and guitar. Here they definitely defer to Stewart filling the song with 'lead fill'. Master of all including high hat Neil Peart was Stewart's inspiration. The great Andy Summers knew how to arrange songs. Andy Summers was the genius behind The Police.
When they did their reunion tour ~15 years ago, my wife and I chased them around the country and caught several shows. In Atlanta, we *specifically* got seats behind the stage so we could watch Stewart Copeland work percussion. He's effing AWESOME. ❤❤❤
This song works way better when followed directly by the next song on the album, "When The World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around." The last sustained note of this song leads right into it, and the ear longs to hear it.
You two guys are by far the best duo to listen to great music with. Your knowledge, disposition and love for music is so refreshing and appreciated by this 58 year old white dude in Northern Ontario Canada.
@@sarleywinkle I saw a bunch of great bands in Corpus around '82-'84. Iron Maiden, Scorpions, Krokus, Triumph, Cheap Trick, Foghat, Y&T, Mötley Crüe, Aldo Nova, and many more.
Just so everyone understands: Sting the frontman is very talented, but the genius behind The Police was always Andy Summers. Not just because his guitar technique is so amazing that allows drums and bass to shine - but because he's who is behind that musical technique for which everything Police did. He uses tone and resonance almost like a Gong in a Temple. He can pick and lay licks, but his technique to "twang" a whole tune and allow percussion to drive it is why they stood out. Talented Trio + Nobody Like Them + Great Songs. Thank you Andy Summers.
It's futile to talk about who was the best or who was the foundation or who was the support. This was a table that stood solidly on its three legs - no one member was more important than the others. They were equally the creators of the sound and equally masters of their instruments, each of which was integral to what The Police was. (And remember that Sting was creating and performing on two instruments at once.) The band would not have been the band it was if any one of them were missing.
When a band has a percussionist capable of polyrhythmic drumming and is proficient in a variety of genres (The Police, Rush, Yes, Genesis, Tool, etc) great music is almost guaranteed. This song is a fine example of just that.
No one would go with me to the show for this album because they didn’t know who they were. I bought a single seat in the center of an older venue. Truly one of the best musical experiences of my life.
Mannnnn, Stewart Copeland is one of the kings of groove! He's got such a distinct sound, you know within seconds of hearing a track that it's him on the drums. Absolute beast.
"When the world is running down" completes this song together !! Try One World (Not Three) for the BEST Stewart Copeland, he is on fire on this tune. I dig you guys !!
The police had 5 consecutive multi platinum albums and then retired on top being the top band in the world for a while selling out arenas worldwide. Sting went solo and Copeland teaches drums and score movies now
Yeah, those rim shots by Stewart Copeland are just part of his drumming wonderfulness. I remember buying Zenyatta Mondatta when it first came out on vinyl. This was one of my favourite tracks.
Bought the album, took my girlfriend to the concert. I got bonus points for turning her on to The Police. This song is a steady driving beat. A perfect song in many ways. And you aren't ever confused what band it might be. Andy Summers was a genius.
More Police!!!! The song after is great - "When the world is running Down" or "Bring on the Night" "The Bed's too Big Without You" "Walking on the Moon" they're all great. So many amazing songs..
You guys when you play the Police play So Lonely, Next To You, Walking on the Moon, Hole in My Life. Those are a few of songs you will totally enjoy. Also the song Message in a Bottle!!!
Outstanding! The Police were fantastic, three terrific musicians, and yes Copeland is a wizard on the skins. They combined ska and punk influences in a great pop-rock style, with real musical virtuosity. Love the way you guys break down the music and how it all blends together.
LoL!!! No, Andy Summers didn't refer to 'ska' at all. He was his own creative vessel. There's probably Rush, Yes, Bob Marley and some British Isles steel drums influences. Nothing from any flash in the pan fringe. It's like saying Picasso copied DaVinci. You saw his drawings but you didn't copy DaVinci. You did your own thing.
Welp ya'll have done it now! The Police, one of my guilty pleasures. Absolutely love this song. The bass & drums are on point. For a 3 man group the instruments on their songs sound like 6 people playing. Stewart Copeland is a masterclass on the drums. I hope you react to more of them. Matter of fact, here are a few suggestions. "When the world is running down" "Murder by numbers" "Message in a bottle"
Phenomenal song, great reaction. Love seeing a new generation discovering early Police. If you loved this, you will love "Message in a Bottle" and "Walking on the Moon." I feel super lucky to have been an early teen right when this came out. We knew it was great music then and it holds up 40+ years later. Incredible.
Stewart and Sting had a great push and pull within the music. They love each other, but don’t like eachother much. But that’s what makes the music so good. Most of their songs have this same dynamic.
Stewart Copeland is a drummer worth delving into. For a fresh taste of his mastery check out his work in Oysterhead. "Army's on Ecstacy" is a good place to start. At one time, a song by The Police called "Walking on the Moon" was the longest piece of known drum sheet-music to ever be published. Zillions of high-hat notes. The man is a living legend.
Makes sense that Copeland, before joining the Police, was drummer for a prog rock band, Curved Air, recording 2 albums with them. One of my favorite performances of him with the Police is "Message In A Bottle".
I graduated high school in 1985, I was such a huge Police fan. And I still enjoy their music. Stewart Copeland's percussion style marks every song with brilliance. And Sting's voice is always wonderful.
Got to play the next song When The World Is Running Down, You Make The Best Of What’s Still Around. Always played together. Indeed, tip of a massive iceberg with The Police! More Please!
Stew is one of the best drummers who ever held a pair of sticks. He plays an upside-down rhythm he heard on the radio growing up in Beirut. He pulled it out when Sting began to write reggae & ska flavored songs and it fit perfectly. A simple 4/4 rhythm is magic in his hands. There's nothing like it.
Stewart Copeland’s drumming style stands out in every song. Sting’s bass style is in line with a reggae beat. Another song to check out is Spirits in the Material World. Thanks for another great reaction.
@@Greg-io1ip Couldn’t agree more! Have you heard the story of how hard Copeland and Sting had to beg him to join the band? How long they had to wait for him! Andy rocks! Peace
When they came on the scene, it hit us HARD! Every member in this band is a star, I saw the "Ghost in the Machine" tour, and like you said..."magnificent".
Saw the Police in a club in NYC before their first album came out ...massive talents. This track is one of their most powerful. "Too many cameras and not enough food"....hard to be more critical of humanity than that.
That's what I love about music-a song can take you back to a certain time with a memory connected to it. You welcomed your little girl to the world with a pretty good sound track I must say!
Saw the Police in concert when this album dropped. Damn they were great in concert. So clean, stripped back and could play it without smoke and mirrors. Lemme tell you back then, girls everywhere at Police concerts. And the band was legit. Andy Summers such a unique guitarist, Stewart Copeland almost as fast as Neil Peart, and just as much precision. On a smaller kit you could seem him working. They were fantastic. And it was a busy time dating then. And you could afford the tickets!!!
Great track from a great album, especially when you follow it up When The World Is Running Down. Stewart's drumming on this both clever and very precise. Some of my favourite stuff by him.
I'm sure you guys will be digging the drumming. THE Police have their own distinctive sound, reggae for sure but so much more. You guys are in for a great ride with this music!
Dudes...the entire album is this good! Favorite album by my favorite band. Please explore this one...on or off camera. You will be glad you did. We subscribed
For me, this song is properly listened to buy letting in play through into When The World Is Running Down. Check that out. I've always heard them as one song growing up, KSHE 95 in St Louis always played them together.
It's cool that you mentioned the Reggae influence... The English Punk/New Wave scene had a close relationship with Jamaican music in general. You'll hear Ska, Reggae, and Dance Hall in a lot of the music from that period.
In no particular order, there are a few drummers that must be included in the list of the best rock drummers of all time. There may be others, but, in my opinion, that list must include John Bonham, Neal Peart, Keith Moon, Carl Palmer and Stewart Copeland.
The drummer, Stewart Copeland is the guy that invented that off-beat drum beat, and made that sound unique to the POLICE. In the 80's, the Police ruled the airwaves.
That was one of the best explanations and illustrations of halftime I’ve heard, which is a subtle concept. The Police are a great example of virtuosity held back : restraint.
my favorite police song for a long time. i always hear different drum parts. my band often starts our rehearsal with an improv jam of this song. super fun to play.
Now I know you guys know I Love Yes and Led Zeppelin ...right....This group along with Tears For Fears were my best bands of the 80's and still today are one of my top all-time bands along with bands like Led Zeppelin...Yes...CCR...Blood Sweat & Tears....Earth Wind & Fire....The Police were and still are some of best musicians on the face of the planet!!! These boys can play....compose songs....and perform....to Perfection. This album is and was their Masterpiece. I have it and play it a lot!!! Stewart Copeland is considered by music critics and the music world as oneof the best drummers in music history along with Keith Moon, John Bonham, Bill Bruford, Alan White, Ringo Starr....his fills and spacing of his beat are perfection! Great reaction!!!
Yeah, I rarely see anything from the first album reacted to (except Roxanne, of course). I’d love to see someone do Next to You, So Lonely or Can’t Stand Losing You.
I grew up with these records - and later got thrown into singing jazz (Happened to start working with a pianist who now heads Duke Ellington Orchestra) - so my appreciation for their insane talent has deepened. I recently came across this record in two dollar bin at a used vinyl shop and it's been living on my turntable A LOT. GREAT reaction!! I miss hanging with musicians or people who know enough about music to talk about the finer points. Nicely done gentlemen!
Been listening to The Police since I was a kid in the 70s (parents loved them) and I LOVE this record...they're insanely amazing, I hope you listen the whole album!!! Love you guys too
@@Greg-io1ip The stage was in the outfield bleachers and we had field tickets, so we were pretty close.. There was 70,000 people there that night. I'll never forget it.
Listened mostly to metal / rock growing up late 70's, early 80's, but when I heard these guys, they became my favorite band. Nobody else sounded like them - nobody.
stewart copeland was the engine for the Police. One of my fav drummers ever
Definitely underrated drummer. Anytime I see a 'greatest drummers' list without Gil Moore, Bill Ward and Stewart Copeland, or Neil Peart not top 1 or 2 and some Buddy Rich up in Top 10 ... I know it's bogus. Charley Charles was way better than Buddy Rich. No contest.
@@Greg-io1ip nice shout to Gil Moore. Great voice too. I suggested some live triumph to these guys. US Festival 83' specifically.
Copeland is also one of my top 3 drummer
Fun fact…Copeland’s dad was CIA….
before we saw them live, I told my buddy, you're going to see one of the best drummers ...he might look like a math teacher but he's amazing... he later agreed.
Great band!
Copeland's hi-hat work is unsurpassed.
That was some dope hi hat work and ride cymbal work!!

I think Andy deserves some props for that insane guitar solo, too.
Agree. He knows when to add it in and when to leave it out.
one of the weirdest, angriest and greatest ever. he was in a mood, and channeled that superpower into angular magic.
Stewart Copeland is one of the greatest drummers ever to drum.
Walking on the moon is a must. Copelands high-hit work on that tune is sick.
These guys had their own sound and I loved most of it because it was different but done by real musicians.
one of my favorite albums...was lucky to see them on this tour. great!
This song works way better when followed directly by the next song on the album, "When The World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around." The last sustained note of this song leads right into it, and the ear longs to hear it.
Yes. I suggested this track specifically to run with "when the world is running down" right after on their request post.
I thought exactly the same thing
I agree 100
You two guys are by far the best duo to listen to great music with. Your knowledge, disposition and love for music is so refreshing and appreciated by this 58 year old white dude in Northern Ontario Canada.
Well said! I fully agree. (Hispanic, 57-year-old Air Force veteran)
Totally agree!
And the 58 year old white dude in Corpus Christi, Texas, agrees.

(And remember that Sting was creating and performing on two instruments at once.) The band would not have been the band it was if any one of them were missing.
They took the standard rock trio instruments (Drumset, bass, guitar, vocals) and created an entirely unique sound and structure. Brilliance.
This song runs right into When the World is Running Down, which, to me, is the best way to listen to these 2 songs. Great album.
Yes. Like "Heartbreaker/Livin Lovin Maid" or "Watin for the Bus/ Jesus Just left Chicago".
@@triggerwarning5762 Or "Show Me"/"Poison Arrow" by ABC and "Time"/"Great Gig In The Sky" by Pink Floyd.
@@porflepopnecker4376 Bingo
When a band has a percussionist capable of polyrhythmic drumming and is proficient in a variety of genres (The Police, Rush, Yes, Genesis, Tool, etc) great music is almost guaranteed. This song is a fine example of just that.
You have a good ear to hear the polyrhythms in this. I just love it.
No one would go with me to the show for this album because they didn’t know who they were. I bought a single seat in the center of an older venue. Truly one of the best musical experiences of my life.
This one takes me back! I was 10 in “80” and the Police were one of my favorites!
Mannnnn, Stewart Copeland is one of the kings of groove! He's got such a distinct sound, you know within seconds of hearing a track that it's him on the drums. Absolute beast.
"When the world is running down" completes this song together !! Try One World (Not Three) for the BEST Stewart Copeland, he is on fire on this tune. I dig you guys !!
I requested this track specifically saying to run it with "when the world is running down". How I always remember it. oh well. A least they did this.

Yeah, those rim shots by Stewart Copeland are just part of his drumming wonderfulness. I remember buying Zenyatta Mondatta when it first came out on vinyl. This was one of my favourite tracks.
Zenyatta Mondatta was and still is my fav Police album. There are no duds, only bangers.

More Police!!!! The song after is great - "When the world is running Down" or "Bring on the Night" "The Bed's too Big Without You" "Walking on the Moon" they're all great. So many amazing songs..
Underrated song by the Police. The drums and Sting's bass!!!
You guys when you play the Police play So Lonely, Next To You, Walking on the Moon, Hole in My Life. Those are a few of songs you will totally enjoy. Also the song Message in a Bottle!!!
My favorite Police song. Stewart Copeland is a world class drummer - few approach the hi-hat close to him. Just brilliant.
Outstanding! The Police were fantastic, three terrific musicians, and yes Copeland is a wizard on the skins. They combined ska and punk influences in a great pop-rock style, with real musical virtuosity. Love the way you guys break down the music and how it all blends together.

The Specials, Selector, The Beat, Madness...those bands were part of a ska revival. It was originally popular in the 60s before reggae.
My favorite song of all time and its not even close
Nice pick! Lots of very very cool songs in the Police’s catalogue

Yes I know Sting was the singer/songwriter/rockstar, but I’ve always looked at the Police as Stewart Copeland’s backup band… he’s that good
Stewart Copeland’s drumming style stands out in every song. Sting’s bass style is in line with a reggae beat. Another song to check out is Spirits in the Material World. Thanks for another great reaction.
Walking on the Moon is another classic performance on the drums (hi-hats). Roxanne was a big hit of theirs, where again, the drums are amazing.
Sting's Bass so underated..plus was an English teacher before the Band exploded in the early 80s....his lyrics are second to none.
Watch the live version ..driven to tears 1980 frejus France..best example of the police live..
Best live Police video for sure.
Andy Summers is a woefully underrated guitarist!

When La starts shaking his head side to side, you know it's on!
Another great review. Reggatta de Blanc, is my favorite album. Played it at 4am,upon arriving home from the birth of my daughter on 1-1-80...

100%, Copeland is overlooked sometimes I think
And while I can hear all the others working in a similar way, he is completely unlike any of them...
Phil Collins and Bill Bruford come to mind!
One of the greatest 3 piece bands ever.
one of the best drummers ever...
I love when the drums kick in with the guitar in the second to last section of the song. I want that part to go on much longer!
The drummer, Stewart Copeland is the guy that invented that off-beat drum beat, and made that sound unique to the POLICE. In the 80's, the Police ruled the airwaves.

Stewart Copeland puts on a drum clinic on almost every song. You almost can't go wrong with any Police song.
Ace album all around. Yep. Copeland is the heart of this tune IMO. ❤️ Damn that bass line! Ok. Everyone is great.
my favorite police song for a long time. i always hear different drum parts. my band often starts our rehearsal with an improv jam of this song. super fun to play.
I was listening to them in 1977 to 1981 and still today it still has no use buy date
More Police... Please

You should think about doing their whole first album. Another great one that came out of nowhere and took everyone by storm. Good stuff

My favorite song on my favorite Police album
A great choice guys. Totally agree with you - excellent tune!
I grew up with these records - and later got thrown into singing jazz (Happened to start working with a pianist who now heads Duke Ellington Orchestra) - so my appreciation for their insane talent has deepened. I recently came across this record in two dollar bin at a used vinyl shop and it's been living on my turntable A LOT. GREAT reaction!!

You guys NEED to this same song live! so so so good live!
That guitar solo is so incongruous, doesn’t seem to fit, yet…it’s perfect.
I saw The Police, REM and Joan Jett 1983 at Shea Stadium NYC
Even though I bet the acoustics were terrible (like all football stadiums), I am very jealous!!!
@@Greg-io1ip The stage was in the outfield bleachers and we had field tickets, so we were pretty close.. There was 70,000 people there that night. I'll never forget it.
Those ‘driven to tears’ guitar chords in the chorus are so hard/ unique
The 2 greatest 3 band musicianship ever..Rush and The police
My favorite track by the Police
Listened mostly to metal / rock growing up late 70's, early 80's, but when I heard these guys, they became my favorite band. Nobody else sounded like them - nobody.
Love how you guys exploring the crazy variety of classic rock. You guys rock! Best on the tube!
One of my favorite bands
Love you dudes take on The Police!!!! You dudes to cool for yaw own-self!!! Peace to ya!!!
If you want to see The Police rocking out, check out live at Hatfield Polytechnic 1979
This always used to be followed by the next track "when the world is running down" when played on the radio back in the early 80's
Three great musicians!
Stewart Copeland's drumming fantastic!
Magnificent indeed.
You definitely have to let this song flow into the next. It was meant to be!
The Police were one of the most important and influential Bands in history.
Outlandos d'Amour changed my music world.
