Love this track. Simple concepts, but only Copeland would have thought to have applied them in this way. His hi-hat playing is so tasty and subtle as always, and the sound of the snare, both side stick and full hits, just sublime. Zenyatta Mondatta has always been my favourite Police album for his drumming.
Listening to this, I'm realizing how much the vocals, bass, and guitar added to this song. This is a reggae beat which changes to a rock beat during the chorus and back to a reggae beat during the verse and repeat, which was the pattern for many Police songs.
Every. Single. Solitary. Part. in this thing is brilliant. At the tender age of 13, I would play this song over and over and over and over...and I would tell myself, okay, now I'm just gonna listen to the drums, now I'm just gonna listen to the bass, now the guitar...It is ALL sublime. Each one stands alone as a great piece of musicianship/creativity. But together...*chef's kiss*.
@@ASparkleross The Police have many songs like that. They were my favorite band from '78 to '84. They were so creative and artistic. It's because of the vast array of their musical influences. I saw them in concert a couple of times. I listened to Zenyatta Mondatta more than any of their albums.
Wow... Never imagined that in the Police's tracks the bass drum was so prominent in the mix... Incredible, maybe this explains why it's a so danceable music
When I sold Audio equipment in the early 80's, we used to use the song on this LP called " Shadows in the Rain" to show off good bass response from a loudspeaker.
Listening to that on a pair of Infinity RS 4.5 Reference driven by Mark Levinson power , impact would rattle your teeth, lol. They were something else.
My favorite Police track. Great title, great story, great groove. I love how he plays the ride cymbal on the chorus, almost echoing the melody. Extra credit to producer, Nigel Gray, who fattened the drum sound that gave it some extra combustion.
The foundation is set by the quarter notes on the bass drum. It provides him traverse between 4/4 and 3/4. While adding accents, that feed the song, with his fills.
The bass drum is more or less following the bassline in the chorus, and visa versa - cool. I think Copeland must be one of the few drummers who makes even the isolated drum part an entertaining listen.
I must at least say , God Bless you all and hurry slowly life can and will take your soul , and suck it up if your not carefull . Be Grateful and humble!
@@Beefnhammer no its not true He played paiste since 81. He played Zildijan before He get endorsed. I have his New book "Drumming in the Police and Beyond from hudson.
@@copelandfan6528 Did a little more research and, I stand corrected. They are in fact Zildjians. Weird to think it wasn't until Ghost in the Machine when he got an endorsement.

Stewart Copeland is one of the best drummers ever
Ironically he always thought he was horrible at his lessons
I concur ❤
Totally 👍❤ And one of the most original Drummers. (There's lots of technically proficient musicians but his style is one of a kind)
Honestly, one of the greatest drum tracks ever recorded.

Not many drummers outside of Bonham have such an Instantly recognisable style
Peart porcaro and Copeland are very distinct
@OmegaLul To drummers yes but I even know non drummers who can pick out John Bonham and I would say that’s definitely more unusual
I can’t stop listening to this. Isolated Copeland = 🤯
that bass drumming is utterly metronomic.
3:23 that fill. I remember first hearing this on cassette and thinking damn that fill.
The sound of a legend
The ghost note kick hits are just amazing

Thanks for this channel. The man is an utter genius.

Stewart is so incredibly smooth!
This is so good almost don’t need the other instruments or... lyrics! Thank you!
This isolated drums track reveals the true identity
This video deserves 1 million views! Incredible track.
WOW now that's drum track, what a machine !

Holy dynamics, what a bad ass.
Stewart copeland is the best!

Thanks for the great practice resource :)
The only drummer I know who was credited on a song simply playing hi hat-Red Rain by Peter Gabriel
He’s so unique on those things

@@kiboko_drummer thanks but the best is missing .... driven to tears
Man thanks!! Great post!!
I cried.
That kick.... damn
So unpredictable.
This is great, thank you so much!! Do you have access to any of Stewart's recordings from the mixing desk from live performances?
No, only studio recordings.
@kiboko great channel, do you know if an iso track exists for Driven To Tears?
I don't have such a track. If it appears, I will definitely share it.
I have seen this type of drums only for Driven to Tears... of course it’s amazing
Anyone that gave this a down vote cannot play drums...
I was hanging out with Keith Carlock and a old friends that owned I bunch of F

Sup with that reverb?
Who was the jerk that gave this a thumbs down?
he is called: jerk
0:52 anyone knows the size of that crash
Its a 16 or 18 Thin A Crash and 22 A Ping Ride.
@@copelandfan6528 Stewart has always played Paiste, not Zildjian. I'm not sure the exact cymbals on this recording, but they sound like 2002's to me.
@@Beefnhammer no its not true He played paiste since 81. He played Zildijan before He get endorsed.
I have his New book "Drumming in the Police and Beyond from hudson.

What software is this?
Audacity.
@@kiboko_drummerSo you take an MP3 track and it automatically separates the instruments? Sorry, I’m tech illiterate.
I'm not isolating anything. I'm just mixing the drum tracks that I have. And don't ask me where I get them.
@@kiboko_drummerNo problem.
Exact same beat as the outro for Synchronicity 2.
Havent Seen One Cover Of This By Any Of These YT Drummers🤔
And not one tom hit
No toms!
