      Big River Records Saw him play for NIN, too, but it was back in 2013. I was so stoked, especially because I didn’t know he was a member of the band. Glad to know he’s still touring with them. He’s an awesome player.

    I'm with you about Copeland's approach. Always seemingly improvisational with his hihat bits, fills and flourishes. It's a style that shows his personality a lot. Always been a Copeland fan. Great vid.

    BRILLIANT! Ilan Rubin just gave the tightest, clearest, most applicable breakdown of the great Stewart Copeland's signature moves I have ever seen.Not only that, he empowers drummers by showing them how they too can use these basics creatively in the context of their approach. Love it! Love it! Love it! Thank you, Ilan!

  • @MattMusicianX

    I hope no one thinks that this should diminish Stewart Copeland, one of my FAVORITE drummers, but every lick in this video is just a common reggae lick. Of course, there are lots more Stewart Copeland licks that are unique to him! :)

      You mean you’re a Police fan. Buddy Rich is number 1. Personally my number 1 is Ilan Rubin. It’s subjective. Probably the least factual comment I’ve ever read.

      James Reeno I saw NIN in June I London. Rubin is nuclear. It’s not just premier league technique he has (see his drum off set on RUclips using Massine too). He hits the drums with such power and grace. He also tweeted me whilst in tour in Europe somewhere. Took the time out to answer a a question about left or right handed. He told me he’s ambidextrous. It’s why I said “Top man too”.

    As Stewart has said hundreds of times, he only got two, three or maybe four takes on tape, after Sting brought his demos in that morning and said "play this, but make it better" and he was done - meanwhile, Sting and Andy got to fuck around with everything else LOL

    Very difficult to compare Stewart Copeland to other drummers as he is in a class of his own. His style is so unique and still can't think of many drummers who are so hi-hat heavy in their playing and the drumming in Walking on the moon is just so good and way he omits the first bass drum beat makes his playing a little more challenging for those covering him. Also he added more in the studio meaning it can be difficult to work out what he is playing as you have to imagine the extra notes are not there. He does this whooshing delay on Walking on the moon which I think is a studio added extra but makes it difficult to cover as you have to find a way around it. Stewart Copeland is definitely a drummer who will make you think. Another great tutorial.

    • @dawnrunsamok
      @dawnrunsamok 5 лет назад +1

      Truth! I can think of only a few with that distinct soundscape. Topper Headon from the Clash is also a monster on the hi-hat.

    • @BassByTheBay
      @BassByTheBay 4 года назад

      Yes, Stewart used delay on the hat in WOTM (and other tracks). I think of him and The Edge as two innovators who used delay not merely as an atmospheric effect but rather as an actual arrangement/composition tool.
