The Police - Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic (drums by jouxplan)

- As promised, here is the first of three 're-makes' of videos I have previously posted, but this time, using my new Roland drums. I guarantee that the end will cause you great amusement........... :-)
Every Little Thing She Does was one of my very first videos on RUclips, posted back in 2007! Great fun, huge amounts of energy by Mr. Copeland, and with his usual technical flair, fluency and speed. There is a lot going on, and it is a tough one to cover.
For those of you who might want to berate me for not playing this accurately enough, please watch my original video, which is far closer to the original than this 2011 video. The purpose of today's video is simply to show how I play it 'for fun' on my Roland, and it is NOT a 'note for note' attempt, ok? Certainly, if it were not for the very funny event near the end, I would not have posted this particular take - there are too many errors and the timing is not great: I fully realise that. But frankly, I don't care - I like this vid 'cos of the end, so it gets posted ;-)
I'm sorry you cannot see my bass drum pedal. I tried to get an angle where you could see all the toms and cymbals (I did several other songs the same afternoon), but it is not easy. Anyway, this angle gives you a better idea of the set up of the new drum kit, I think.
I have tried to get as many of the hi hat bits and bobs going on, but I missed a lot of 'em! Stewart's bass drum pattern in the chorus', and especially the outro, as I pointed out in 2007, is fiendishly random and at odds with what you would expect, and so I am well wide of the mark here. I will admit that the intricate nature of the hi hat work in this, at this speed, with the occasional slightly open sound in the verses, I find much harder to do on the Roland than I do with acoustic cymbals. Still getting used to it? Or is it really more difficult to do? Not sure yet!
Whatever you all think of the technical merits of this 2nd cover, I reckon I deserve a prize for the incident at the end! Don't think I missed a single beat!
I am finally working out the best way to create these videos with my V-drums. Unfortunately it is a lot more involved, and means me messing around with iMovie and an audio interface and scrubbing the camcorder sound and synching audio and visual and basically, disappearing up my own backside! Still, the end result is much better sound quality, non? If you listen on good headphones, you can even hear that the drums are panned!!!!
More coming very soon, including a 'tour' of the new drum kit, for all you drum geeks out there!
If you have not seen it, have a look at my Christmas Gorilla video too!!
:-)
Thank you very much. I spent 20 minutes and 8 videos trying to find someone who did “the fill” correctly. Yours is the closest
This.
One of my all time favorite songs, love to watch musicians really get into the song they are playing, really gets me into it as well. Awesome job!
Thank you so much, that's a wonderful thing to say 😊
Alex, it is your ability to laugh at yourself which raises you above many individuals ! Don't ever let that change, sir !
BTW Without the video no-one would ever know that a stick was dropped ! In fact (if anything) it provides a beautiful segue from the crescendo and tom work into the hi-hat piece. Fantastic save, my man ! Out of the chaos something artistic became manifest !
Excellent drumming ,you not only play drums but yo feel the music !!
That's a great compliment, thank you so much!
Yes doesn’t he…
love it! facial expressions come as an extra fun factor!!! Great work Jouxplan!!!!!
Ha! Ha! Yes, that seems to be what people love whe they watch me play live :) I like to think of it as pasion - some call it gurning! Thank you
@@jouxplan It's totally gurning.
To this day, still my favorite and most enjoyable drum cover to watch!
Wow, that is high praise indeed! I am humbled :)
It’s not acoustic
Great stick and strokes Bro... I love the Police and Stewart Copeland is one of my favorite drummers...
Thank you so much :) Yep, Copeland and the Police were epic and unique!
I really enjoyed watching you play. Awesome
That's very kind of you!
You play with *joy*! And skill, too, of course. A great pleasure to watch. Thanks, Jouxplan....
That's extremely kind of you, thank you! 😊
I've watched this a hundred times over the years since you posted. Still amazing every time. You are the best!!
Wow! Thank you so much! Now I know why this video gets so many views :)
Sweet, the Professor & the Roller Skater, got to be the finest rock drummers ever.
kkkk.Sensational. It gave a real show in choreography and drums .. The most fun time was when the stick fell. Top.... Congratulations.. One more like and one more written ..
Brilliant!!!! That's what the world needs...less self conscious and overly serious drummers... Also love how you have a rock guitarist lead break face when playing... Oh..and you done a good job of the cover as well.. OxO
THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!
Hello Jouxplan! YOU YOU feel it totaly , true musician 👍🏾 great drumsound
Wow, thank you so, so much!
I know this is an old video now, but i just want to say that it makes me feel the joy that you clearly feel.. It just makes me feel good.. Thank you
Thank you! Yes, I love these drums, though there are plenty of people who hate v-drums on sight :-) I find them very versatile and it is great to be able to change the sound so much, depending on what I am playing.
I think this is probably the most accurate drum cover of this song on youtube, I wish non-musicians could see how much truly goes into something that sounds so effortless.
You are very kind, thank you! :)
Excelente hombre!!!!!!... Una versión muy buena del maestro Copeland.
Every little thing that Stewart did was magic an you just nailed it my friend
That is very, very kind of you :)
Steward Copeland would be happy with his performance. plus he's having fun with it and loves playing. once again great job.
That is very high praise, and I am so glad I did not ruin your favourite song for you! Cheers!
The recovery - definitely my best one of all time. Still makes me laugh now when I watch it :-) I really don't know how I got away with it!
I’ve seen this video a bunch of times and enjoy it always. Great song and great drum set 👍
my man jouxplan slaying it again
I can watch this all day :)
Ha! Ha! You are very kind :)
@sharkfarm44 Remember also that the sound you guys get to hear on my vids is actually recorded directly into Garageband, meaning you get the 'headphone' sound - being usually much sweeter than what you hear out of speakers! This drives me mad, and I am still trying to find a way to get the sound out of a PA to sound the same as it does in my headphones. Anyway, the point is, my Roland will sound sweet on RUclips, sweeter than if you were standing in my drum room listening to me through speakers!
That was both cool to watch and funny as well mate. Love your passion and you sure can play👊
Dude I love your drumming faces so much! Screw the funny bit at the end, the whole video is funny!
he looks constipated, so funny xD
Very inspiring and really funny at 3´50. Enjoyed it very much.
Regards, Robert
I'm a (severely) amateur drummer and we've been working through this song. I have never seen it covered perfectly. Congrats. The drummer for the police was very unorthodox and hard to predict. Requires 100% of my concentration to nail it........even then i'm not beat for beat but close enough that it passes.
Thanks for the video
Brilliant 👋👋👋👋👋 i play police on bass and got to hand it to you really enjoyed that and will play along with you thanks to RUclips well done sir
OUTSTANDING JOB! Copeland is difficult to emulate.
I so enjoy watching you play
This is one of my favorites videos in RUclips! I always see it again and again!... Congratulations, Jouxplan!
copeland is the best drum player so its hard to play like him really good job bravo bravo
Thank you so much!!
😏 Steve Gadd is the best
@@SUGAR_XYLER yea he is the best in drulers Who play boring noices and best steward copeland is just magic
I love how much fun you have playing!!
Ha! Ha! Thank you so much!
That was great. The show must go on. Fav police song
That was brilliant! Even dropping thd drumstick you kept it all together lol. Legendary drumming, mate.
Perfect, i enjoy it alot, most importent, i felt it! Thank you
great excellent, cogratulations guy.
Woowww, I always have found this song the best of the Police!!!! 1981...Fantastic to get a spirtit of the drumming Yeah!!!
Well done. So into what you're doing
jouxplan, as usual you are awesome. I come back to watch your performance alot, so you are indeed my favorite re-run! Cheers, Mark
@n8gr81 Ha! Ha! Ha! I'm glad you clarified that! Many thanks!
I have to say that when I look back at the vids I did back in 2007/2008, I am amazed at how much better a drummer I have become. Doing all these videos over the years and getting the incredible feedback from all of you has really made me strive to do things I never ever thought I would be able to do. It's been a lot of fun and it just shows how we never ever stop learning, even when you are as old a git as I am :-)
I can only imagine the high you got when you played that, it emanated through the web, i just had to watch that again. Superlative!
Ha! Ha! Thank you so much!
that was amazing!!!
Wow! great job! can clearly tell you're having fun!!
Simply superb!
Yo that set looks dope yo, especially the hi-hat that actually moves! Dope drumming btw!
Didn't expect the funky (and still perfect) groove at the end. I am subscribed!.
Maybe the best "drum" cover I ever seeing !
Muy bien interpretado , con bastante feeling y muy buena salida al perder la baqueta, la verdad no se notó en el sonido
It shows that you enjoy playing! Great job!
Loved it - thanks!
fantastic....
great ,awesome you was into it emotional and laughed .i really enjoyed it
Wow! Absolutely fantastic! You lost a stick but you carried right on. Great cover and performance. There is some 'Keith Moon" in you.
This has got to be one of the greatest rock songs ever written! So uplifting! And those drums lines?...Oh, my! You play with such feel and nuance! Really awesome! You made my day!
Very very gooooood!!!!!!!! Thank you for this!!!!!
The way you transport the notes from your head to your body is incredible.
Lol I haven't watched this in years! I forgot about the stick drop at the end, nice recovery my man, and freakin awesome cover!
Ha! Ha! Thank you so much, can't believe you came back to after so many years :)
I am humbled, thank you! However, I assure you I am not capable of catching every beat - Copeland is incredible, and I only catch about 90% of his beats, I think :-)
More like 96.5% :)
Great job!
Amazing!!!
I enjoy it same as you, very fun! Keep going
that stick recovery :D AWESOME COVER!!!!!!
Thank you! I don't know how I got away with it :)
great well done
A good performance, sir. This is one of my favorite Police tunes and you did it justice. I think Stewart would approve. By the way, I have seen performances from Stewart where he has lost a stick or destroyed a snare with his intensity and vigor. So you are in good company👍👍👍
Ha! Ha! Thank you!
Excellent!!!!!!
no complaints here. very very nice, and great recovery of the stick...hahahaha
Ha! Ha! Thank you!
You really have fun playing drums. Love the 3:50 minute part x). Nice video!
Playing drums should always be huge fun :D Thank you so much!
Great job! Best cover I've seen!
I enjoyed this greatly.
Very Good!! down to the millisecond. funny at the end, but good recover. :)
I'm so glad you kept the stick drop in and decided against another take. So many videos on RUclips are flawless due to an unknown amount of takes to get it spot on and this standard is unattainable for budding musicians. Your video shows that it happens to even the best (and you are definitely in that league for me).
We are only human, keep loving what you are doing!
Your faces are funny and awesome... shows how much you're getting into it (Y)
Great job .
Wow, friend, I love watching you drum. I have been playing and I look so, SOOOO serious when I play. You are a lesson to the joy of the craft. Good job from Memphis, Tennessee
Mr Bean on drums

Awww, thank you so much!
Very good! Very Good! Very good!!!!!! Very, very, very, very, very gooooooood!!!!!!!! You are a faaaaaannnntaaaastic drummer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh crazy, man!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Thank you so much!
Dude that was AWESOME!!!! One of my favourites and favourite drummers.
Dude, I am speechless - thank you so much :)
Tradgey about Neil Peart. RIP to one of the best drummers. You ever tried playing lowdown from Boz Scaggs? That’s a cool drum piece. Love your playing man. 👍👍👏👏
Brilliant work, Dude. I love watching and LISTENING to your percussion covers. Wow, the Police had some tricky rhythms here and about. Obviously you are disciplined and patient to dial those licks down. Might you be a session musician? If not, you should be! Cheers Sir! Bravo. Bloody well done, and thanks so much for your time to rehearse, practice and record and share online. Very sincerely and respectfully, Mark
Wow, Mark, thank you so much for this comment. It's greatly appreciated. I have been off YT for three years now, and I'm overwhelmed with all the comments I have been missing. I'm slowly going through them all. I am not a session drummer, no! I play live in various bands here in UK and in Germany. I'm going to start uploading stuff again - with my new drums :)
Job well done 👍🏻
Spent a good part of today watch all your stuff again!
That's amazing and very humbling! I can't bear to watch any of my older videos - it amazes me how much I have improved during my 12 year RUclips career!!
fantastic
Realmente extraordinario, una de mis canciones favoritas.
Oh my god you are amazing😰😰😰
10 years ago....still magic
This is masterful
Exelente , bien tocado y con ganas
Ha! Ha! I thank you - that means a lot to me! It is my personality, so I doubt it will change. I refuse to take myself seriously, and drum becuase I love it, and love sharing it with everyone, mistakes and all :-)
I will admit that this has to be the best 'save' I ever made - I laughed my head off when I watched it back for first time, and said 'that HAS to go on YT!'
You are very kind
Good, very good, but the best part is when the drumstick goes flying, and you do not miss a beat. Show!
That was excellent!
Nice save man!!
Ha! Ha! Thank you!
Congratulations! Very good job!
"I remember saying, 'Okay put up Sting's original demo and I'll show you how crummy it is.' So Sting stood over me and waved me through all the changes. I did just one take, and that became the record. Then Andy did the same thing on the guitar. We just faced the music, bit the bullet, and used Sting's arrangements and demo. Damn."[6]
- Stewart Copeland, Revolver, 2000
Loved it! Well done.
Dope! Right on point, loved it!
