This cover was so good, I pulled out my bass and played the bassline to the song while jam,Ing to your cover. You especially nailed the end which is tough as can be.
Fantastic! Here and there not played exactly but that is understood. Had the octobans and the small splashes been present I would have thought it was Mr. Stewart Copeland himself going off of just the audio alone! Keep it up!
Dan came to PLAY and I mean play his ass off, right into the groove. Best cover of this song by a drummer bar none, thus far. I might be 8 years late to the party,but damn it ,I can still leave a genuine and sincere comment and compliment. Dan YOU Rock Man !! Love it. Hope you're still keep up the good groove and work. As a Fellow Drummer, really appreciate your abilties and talents there of...as Jimi used ta say "Play on Drummer!" !!
great job! you noted a 'few mistakes'... still sounds great; I have zero doubt that if asked, Steward could replay it note for note but I've seen video performances of this one & none of them are the same as the original recording.. therefore, in my humble opinion.. you learned the song.. you know the song, you had fun.. you crushed it.. keep on rockin!
I've just watched this again, a year later, was about to comment how neat it was, turns out I already had! Nice job man. Copeland has such a nice style, and really hard to cover properly.
Umm, I want to leave a comment, but I can’t find the words to sufficiently describe how much I admire your drumming - seriously admire and appreciate the level.
OMFG ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Absolutely smashed this to perfection 😍 gonna have a go at this one day.. I play bass but wanna give this a bash.. thank you for your upload xx
Dunno why this popped up now but I'm glad it did. Too few TH-camrs really capture Copeland's ultra tight snare but you have it 100%. Playing was also top notch. One of my two fav Police numbers for "that" fill where he plays too many notes into the next sequence but it's perfect. The other is Every Little Thing... of course.
Wow, wow, wow!! Probably my favorite Police song and what you pulled off here is a big reason. Excellent! Yeah you tripped up *slightly* a couple times but I wouldn't even use the term "mistakes." You not only executed Copeland's part amazingly well (WHO else would think of playing that song the way he did?!!!) but you FELT it and it showed. It's not classical. It's not bossa nova. You don't bring charts and a metronome to this gig. You kick 'em in the balls, you take a few risks, and you have a blast doing it. And that's exactly what you did. Bravo!
Congratulations, you nailed it and played so loose and confident. With your permission, I will use your video as a reference to try covering it by myself...even if it will drive me to tears...
Nice Solid Performance,... great accents on the Ride with cross stick on the Snare,... love the transitions to the HH and the Tom Fills,... Ohhh and rock solid 1/4 notes on the BD,... you nailed that song man,... Keep On Rockin'!!!
I have tried a lot of things to get the channel going. Mostly friends and family who support me and help share my posts. I tried some marketing in the beginning videos and found if the videos are not super strong they don't go anywhere. So just posting to friends and family now. I picked up 70 new subs in two weeks from the Luke Holland contest.
What I do is put it on Facebook and instagram and twitter. I ask people to vote for me even though it is not up to them. That way it engages people in my videos and builds views, likes and comments. Those things help your vidoe rank and get served up on suggested videos on TH-cam and drives more traffic to your channnel. Tagging, titles, and description also helps with ranking. EVEN naming your uploaded video file with the proper keywords helps with rankings.
Oh, also I always try to watch my subscribers covers and like and comment on theirs. It is an online community and we all try to help each other. So if you have a new video, just let me know by commenting on one of mine and I will go do the same for you.

A truly difficult song to master, which you have accomplished.
Especially since Copeland plays how he feels and doesn't really stick to a conventional pattern.
This cover was so good, I pulled out my bass and played the bassline to the song while jam,Ing to your cover. You especially nailed the end which is tough as can be.
Best cover I've seen of this song. Captures the energy of the original.
Copeland is my favorite drummer.
Fantastic! Here and there not played exactly but that is understood. Had the octobans and the small splashes been present I would have thought it was Mr. Stewart Copeland himself going off of just the audio alone! Keep it up!
Wow ! Even Stewart himself couldn't play this faithfully ! Kudos ! 👍
Dan came to PLAY and I mean play his ass off, right into the groove. Best cover of this song by a drummer bar none, thus far.

As a Fellow Drummer, really appreciate your abilties and talents there of...as Jimi used ta say "Play on Drummer!" !!
I'm a huge fan of the Police and I have to say that you absolutely killed this. Very very very very well done!!!
great job! you noted a 'few mistakes'... still sounds great; I have zero doubt that if asked, Steward could replay it note for note but I've seen video performances of this one & none of them are the same as the original recording.. therefore, in my humble opinion.. you learned the song.. you know the song, you had fun.. you crushed it.. keep on rockin!
Impressive dude, honestly, awesome
I've just watched this again, a year later, was about to comment how neat it was, turns out I already had! Nice job man. Copeland has such a nice style, and really hard to cover properly.
One of the best skills of Copeland are found in this song....kudos!
Dude, you killed that. Not being a drummer I can’t appreciate how difficult this song is but it sounds to me like you nailed it. Very cool!
Very fun to watch -- a nice performance of a Copeland's very unusual and complex style!
Stewart is my all time favorite instrumentalist in Rock music.You kicked ass on here man.You are a great drummer dude
Fantastic, Bud! Keep going.
Meant Dan, has skill. Great job.
Amazing amazing amazing! Such a technical song. He’d be proud of you x
Nailed it! What was neat about your cover was that you came up with your own fills, and they were dead on! Thanks man!
This is a clinic on how to play a song without doing a standard backbeat!
I could listen to the drums on this all day long. Loved it!
Great playing! Much respect. I love the drums of Driven to tears too, very unique.
Awesome tuning, sounds so good.
Awesome job. Best cover I have seen of this by far
Umm, I want to leave a comment, but I can’t find the words to sufficiently describe how much I admire your drumming - seriously admire and appreciate the level.
Dude, I stumbled upon this while playing around and I have to say you are amazing! Good job!
Never heard someone nail all the nuances of copeland’s performance of the original recording. Bravo!!!👏🏾
The best cover-performance i 've ever heard. Great job !
Very impressive ! Very faithful to the original. I think that even Stewart himself couldn't remember the drum part this well. Two thumbs up !
OMFG ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Absolutely smashed this to perfection 😍 gonna have a go at this one day.. I play bass but wanna give this a bash.. thank you for your upload xx
Awesome, love your cover of this great song. Nicely done, live long Stewart.
Respect! You hit the Stewart-feel nail right on the head. Your drums sound really well too. Kudos!
That was absolutely amazing! Great job man!
Amazing performance mate, Stewart is probably my favourite drummer and you've absolutely nailed his style :)
Great job on this song. You really nailed his whole tone. I love the punch of the bass drum toms and snare.
Just found! Man, you killed that; BRILLIANT. (Applause...)
Excellent work Dan, loved hearing and watching that. It's some difficult stuff but you made it look easy
Great drumming and your kit sounds fantastic and matches the sonic soundscape of the track.
Very good. Love that song.
Great sounding kit. Well played.
That was beautiful, mate! You've really outdone yourself on this one. Cheers to you on that, then! 🥂
Excellent touch and sound. Well done mate
the symbols during the chorus...goosebumps!
You smash this one out of the park. So very tight and the licks were on song. Stewart Copeland is my favourite drummer or very least top 5.
You f__ken nailed it,and agreed to all positive comments.
You by far covered it accurately.
Very well done! I'm just starting out playing myself so if you don't mind I'll just copy what you've done here because you nailed it! Cheers.
Good job on a very intricate drum part from a master
Superb.... Absolutely superb 👏👏👏
Hi. Beautiful last name of yours.
Awesome job ! Accurate drumming !
Awesome cover man!
Love the last bit! 🙂
Great to watch people who can do stuff.
I always listened to Sting's Bass on this song. Never realized how much cymbal work was going on till now Thanks.
Dunno why this popped up now but I'm glad it did.

Very vey good, Dan. At 99.6%, reaching the Excellence.

haha thanks a lot man! Really appreciate it!
Bruh, killed it! 🔥🔥🔥
Sounds incredible!
I'm a drummer...this is a progressive style on the surface, but those beautiful dramatic pauses makes this such great art in an ere of hairbands.
Bravissimo!!!
Grazie...
Greatest open hat ever. Then the wakes one of these nights.
the fill at 2:21 sends me everytime
Voilà such a master! 👍
Wow!! That was so tight
What mistakes? You nailed it! Great work!
Best cover. Very good drummer.
Probably one of the best drummers around from the Police. Great job!
thanks, and btw, howd you get so many subs?
