- Drum cover of "Message in a Bottle", a song by the Police. It was released as the lead single from their second studio album, Reggatta de Blanc in September of 1979. Written by the band's lead singer and bassist Sting and Andy Summers.
Rolling Stone ranked it number 65 on its list of the "100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time".
Stewart Copeland's drumming, praised as his "finest drum track" by Summers, was "overdubbed from about six different parts."
Triggered the Terry Date drum kit from Steven Slate Drums 4.
Great drumming. I would imagine Stewart Copeland wouldn’t be a walk in the park to cover. This is superb.
Thank you, much appreciated!
Awesome, Sal! Such a great song. You'd make Copeland proud! Nice to see you back, too!! Keep rockin', my friend.
Thank you Jason, I appreciate you stopping by and checking out the cover. You too bro', keep rocking it!!!
Love it! You see a lot of drummers on youtube trying to shine more than they are supposed to. Rithm and harmmony are essencial so music sounds good. Glad you know your ropes
Dani
Thank you Dani for the encouraging comments & for checking out the cover, much appreciated.
Great song choice and playing
Thank you Drumman
Nice work. 👏
Well done! One of the best Police Songs.
Thanks, yes, and Sting thinks so too.
Nicely done :)) :)) !!!!!!!!
Thank you Tati
@4.12 - brilliant (well the whole thing was really, but that part....? Awesome!) Love ya' work Sal. I can understand why Summers thought it would have been Copeland's best work.
Thank you Antony
WOAH !!!!!! How had I missed this Ryth.?
The most amazing cross-stick groove in music. I could never get it down specially when Copeland doubles up the sticking on the rim. Then as a MUCH larger kick to my ego , I read he improvised the whole thing and the drumming was done in one take.
You make me proud Sal!
Thank you my friend mickavellian!!!
Very enjoyable Sal, thanks!
Thank you David
Sal this is for me the best song from the Police!! And I really liked your drumming here!! Your bell on the ride sounds great too!!
Thank you Zax. Yeah this is an example of cover type number one. Appreciate the critique on the sound
OMG! you did a perfect Stewart Copeland...WOW!

I will be checking out your videos, it looks to be an interesting range of music.
Thank you for doing that and yes, I do like all kinds of music!
Whoaaa, nice!! 👍
Said it before but I must say again. Just love the drumless tracks. That way we can hear only your drumming. Good tune choice too.
And I appreciate that, and agree. Thanks for checking out the cover.
Superb performance great to see you back with one big thumbs up brilliant

Tight and right........
Sounding amazing Sal, here's your big fan! :D Me! :)
Thank you Lea for stopping by and checking it out. Peace and God bless you.
Excellent job! Stewart is so unique in his style and you got his nuances down pat! Great dexterity on your playing and the drums sound awesome too!
thank you Jorge. Yea, Stewart was a big influence on my drumming. Thanks for the critique on the drum setting/tuning.
Wonderful, Sal. It's hard to capture Copeland's feel. You nailed it, great drumming.
Thank you Mike, much appreciated, and thanks for stopping by. Keep drumming!!!

chris jackson

Gee, thank you Dr. Jones.
Amazing as always, i love watching your videos!
Great song and great cover.
Thank you for checking it out.
Awesome!!! That's so cool for a drumless song!!
Thank you Austin
love this! great drumming and that always punchy drum sound that you're triggering. awesome!
btw that section around 2:20 is so smooth
Thanks Andreas.
I’ve been trying to cover this song myself after watching your rendition^^ I’ve been at it all night. I need more practice
Great stuff ^^ 👌
Take your time and go slowly. Isolate any sections of the song that give you trouble and turn that into an exercise until you get it.
rhythmantic - Sal D'Amato thank you. When I first gave it a go, I was thinking “no way can I achieve this!” .. but over the course of a few hours there’s improvements.. I’ll keep at it until I nail it!
@Thomas Martin
Why not?
@Thomas Martin
I beg to differ, it’s pretty spot on except perhaps I played the overdubbed parts in one take.
@Thomas Martin
The link to the rendition you provided I’ve seen before and the drummer is playing with 2 hands what I played with one. It’s not better, just different and in addition my cover has a drum tuning that is closer to the original one Stewart played, and has more snap and a tighter groove.
I don't how I missed this one!! But really awesome playing here!! The drums in this song are just freakin cool and you did them total justice!!
Thanks Zax, much appreciated. Keep drumming!!
Awesome.
Would you consider doing Voices Inside My Head when you get a chance, it's one of Copeland's best. And thanks for the Police playlist on your channel.
Thanks, I'll check it out, thank you for the suggestion.
How was this recorded please. Superb cover dude.... really awesome
Thank you for viewing the video.
Triggered the Terry Date drum kit from the Steven Slate Drums 4 software plugin that was instantiated within Logic Pro X DAW recording the drum track while playing to the song track with the output going to the Apogee Ensemble audio interface and output to the video camera’s audio input. Video and audio post production using iMovie and Logic Pro X.
Beautiful!
Amit BT
Thank you.
Great cover.
Which Roland kit are you using?
Sounds excellent.
Thanks. The kit used is noted above in the Description,
Triggered the Terry Date drum kit from Steven Slate Drums 4.
The ekit is a Roland V-Drums TDW-20 module with VH-12 hats with TD-12 pads and a Bar Trigger.
Such a great drum part! Well played!!!
Thanks for checking it out
Excelente forma de tocar.. !! El sonido es increíble..!!
Fantastic Sal. A lot going on in this song. You nailed it.
Thank you Dennis.
Sal This is Brilliant. Such an inventive drum track and you totally nailed it as usual :-)
Peace & Love from across The Pond.
Highly awesome, and you make it look easy, but I think drummers like yourself are freakishly gifted. Can you somehow split your brain into different parts or something like that?
Obiwazz
Thank you for checking out my cover and for your comments. As far as I know the brain can only handle one thing at a time, even though there's four way coordination with each limb doing something different, the brain is looking at it as a whole and how each of the four parts sync up with each other. To a certain degree it is also a natural God ability.
Okay, thanks... yes that makes sense that the mind is looking at it as a whole. I play guitar and I know the two hands can be doing different things, but to also introduce the bass beat with the foot, that is impressive.
Yes!
Man Sal...this is an awesome cover! I tried to like it twice, but it would't let me!
Makes me happy that we made it through a tune like this together...this song makes you work for it!!
Great job transitioning to work in the bell accent with the snare!!
All the best my friend! Have a great and safe weekend!!

Thank you bro for checking out my cover.
sal i have a question, what did you do in regards to drumming in the 70s and 80s
Hey Will, I made my living from being a drummer in a host of bands who played a variety of genres of music.
Currently, I'm "God's drummer", with playing drums as part of my day job description of being employed in an evangelical church.
A++
Cool, thanks
Drums sound really good too!..
Thanks Austin
very impressive.. I just pre ordered the Alesis strike pro.. Nothing beats a roland,, sounds amazing. you have that so dialed in.. Where do you get the tracks without the drums?
Dear Sal this is awesome Always loved this way to play drums Great!!! the way you do this.!!!.bles you and family..........Rob
Hey Rob, thank you my friend. Give my regards to The Brothers.
Good work Sal, I gave this one a crack myself, seems like it looks a lot more comfortable playing it open handed
thank you my fellow YT drum cover artiste
fabulous ! :)
Message in a bottle is the most used drum cover all of the time 😅
As usual another awesome cover! Way to go Sal!
Thanks.
perfect
Thanks
Really Cool Sal. Nice choice to play. Congrats
Thanks Gigi.
So with it, fabulous! Thank you!
terryfriend16
Thank you
That's a damn good cover my friend!
Thank you
Hello friend, excellent cover .. congratulations. I have a question for you, what model it's your beautiful ROLAND V-DRUM
Thank you. You'll find that info and more here:
ruclips.net/user/rhythmanticabout
simply awesome! I haven't practiced in a while. I should change that haha. You are motivating me
Glad to be a motivator. Keep drumming and thanks for checking out the cover.
Brillante
Thanks
With 3 different drum track going in the original song. The most common mistake drummers make is to try to play all of them at once.
Skyler Reddy
I don't think so if can be possibly covered.
Almost the same until minute 2:10, but it is a great cover,
Next do wild child by the doors
This is really nice drumming without a doubt, but I did get the feeling as if their was a little problem with your timing. And I'm talking really small, but big enough for me to notice it apparently. I only listened once though.
Thank you for watching!
I don’t hear anything off timing-wise, if there was I would have detected it and retake the performance.
@@rhythmantic maybe it just didn't feel organic/real enough because of the electric drums which is causing me to hear things :)
David Gerardi
What is seen are edrums but what is heard are acoustic drums. That is the sound of an acoustic and it feels great playing it. I’ve been playing acoustic drums for over 55 years so I can attest to it.
Besides if one has never played a good quality ekit how could one honestly lay a claim like your comment?
@@rhythmantic When I close my eyes, I can tell this is an ekit. Btw I've played them before aswell. Peace
David Gerardi
Depends on the quality of the ekit and the drum set sample software one uses. In this cover Steven Slate Drums was triggered. Superior Drummer is probably the best software which I also use.
Anyway, thanks for checking out the video
Great drumming! I have some new drumming videos out there...please check them out....thanks Sal
Thanks Micheal. Will check you out. Thank you for stopping by.
You really need to be picked up the Eagles band.
