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.
@@williamshaw6438 Definitely. If not for that connection with a fine group of fellow percussionists I think I'd lose it sometimes. And as for Neil - legend, and sorely missed. 👍
thank you,, huge difference ! Mickey Hart is a percussionist as well as a drummer,, same w/ Stewart, multi- talented instrumentalist.... Love those kettles & that marimba...... It sounds freaking beautiful.... many thanks for this,, I love rediscovering the music I grew up with....
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 !!
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!
@@streetworkoutnation6851 You'll get no argument from me on the "best" terminology. That remains to be seen, as we have more drummers coming down the pike.
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.
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!
Stewart Copeland is one of the best drummers I’ve ever heard. He has something that no one else has. I can’t listen to a police song and not listen for the drum fills. The fills made the songs.
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.
Of course. Royalties cause the big fights in bands. It's the money, obviously. Queen did it years ago because the truth was that they all contributed to every song. So they made everything a 4-way split and were much happier.

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"
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.

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”) 😂😂😂
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!
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.
@@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.
Stewart is the most unique & hard-working, & astute drummer & composer, of many, long-standing years. This is eye-candy for the soul... in sound... 🤩🌸✨💫💜
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
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.
One of the greatest bands ever assembled! 5 Albums. And together for 6 1/2 years and Sting moved on. I have and always will be a major Police fan. Andy Summers is coming to H-TOWN at the House of Blues to jam and speak about his life and how to work that guitar! Can't wait!
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.
This is one of my favorite music videos on youtube. The great thing about the net is I'm able to see videos of all my favorite drummers and I have watched all of them over the years guys like Gene Krupa, Ginger Baker, John Bonham, Neil Peart and so on. But Stewart Copeland is still the one that captures my ear the most. Fascinating to watch the Maestro perform!
Feel like my heart and soul has been fed some nourishment and mind is more at ease with refusing to give up living the late '70's through the '80s with the Police. I am partial to Stewart's percussion but this goes to all three of you individually as well.
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!
Watching you play is always inspiring to me (and many others, obviously)! As long as I can remember, your joy and love of drumming has shone through in your playing. You made me want to be a drummer when I was a little boy in the 80s, and you inspire my playing still to this day. Thank you for sharing your joy of drumming with all of us.
3 MEN/ SORRY ARTISTS WILL NEVER BE EQUALED LIVE ON STAGE FOR THE MUSIC MADE HONORED TO HAVE LIVED IN THE AGE... AND HAD MY EARS TOUCHED BY THE WAVES... THANK YOU ANDY, STEWART, AND STING, YOU REALLY ARE HALL OF FAME MEN.
i love this in so many levels. This was one of my favorite Police songs already, but this version brought it to another level. Downtuning made it more somber and this percussion arrangement is pure gold. The timpani at the chorus always gives me chills
A song reminds me of carribean islands of beautiful colours seeing them master copeland drumming beat at his best gift in music must say Bravissimo ☆☆☆☆☆
So glad my brother introduced me to the Police when I started playing drums. I was listening to alot of metal then and when I heard Stewart Copeland's playing it was awesome! I really enjoyed this performance.

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.

I’ve loved him since I was a little girl. He’s just a genius. Also, extremely intelligent and very funny.
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
So many think Neil Peart was the best.... Nope.
@@chrispile3878he gave neil peart his flowers and even said neil is the best.

Stewart Copeland has to be one of the best Drummer/percussionists ever. Just so many sonic textures, just beautiful.

He loves banging stuff
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.
I feel we have lived during the best time of existence on the planet the last 50 years. Especially in the U.S. I guess it is a blessing.

Right!?!? (Jazz guy here … with The same one exception...😁😎🥁
Replace metal head with Deadhead.

This kind of performance just separates Stewart Copeland from so many. Bravo, beautiful.
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!
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.
Stewart Copeland A true drums artist 👏👏🥁🥁👍👍
Stewart Copeland is one of the best drummers I’ve ever heard. He has something that no one else has. I can’t listen to a police song and not listen for the drum fills. The fills made the songs.
I’ve watched this probably 50 times over the last couple of years.
Gotta love the way he plays with such precision and forethought while making it LOOK like he’s just messing around.
The coolest drummer in Rock History for sure. That was awesome!
That would be Chad Smith but Stewart is fantastic.
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.

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?
Of course. Royalties cause the big fights in bands. It's the money, obviously.
Queen did it years ago because the truth was that they all contributed to every song. So they made everything a 4-way split and were much happier.
So they weren't getting paid royalties?

It was a performance that exceeded expectations.
Beck opened the show.
A great evening ...

Couldn't have said it better myself. Totally agree.
That was phenomenal.
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.
Andy’s great too. Perhaps he balances the Sting end of the talent triangle such that Stewart can then isosceles far out into space.
The Police and Stewart Copeland is Love ❤️❤️❤️
What a great song. Loved it in my childhood. 80s was the best era.
I never liked this song much, but this rendition is a gem. Stewart, what a star he is! Andy's playing is superb, too. Sting is Sting, enough said.

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.
Man... what an absolute legend.
I love watching this, theres something very meditative about watching Stewart work his magic, i love how the crowd acknowledge his talent during it.
Never get tired of this video
I was very fortunate to watch this performance live back in 2007. Unforgettable.
The incomparable Stewart Copeland! The best Police song! Enough said!
Copeland is the reason I loved The Police. I’m a huge fan!
