- The Police were an English rock band formed in London in 1977. For the majority of their history, the band consisted of Sting (lead singer, bassist and principal songwriter), Andy Summers (guitarist) and Stewart Copeland (drummer). The Police became globally popular in the late 1970s and are generally regarded as one of the first new wave groups to achieve mainstream success, playing a style of rock that was influenced by punk, reggae, and jazz.
Stewart Armstrong Copeland (born July 16, 1952) is an American musician, multi-instrumentalist and composer best known as the drummer for the band the Police and for his film music soundtracks. He has also written various pieces of music for ballet, opera and orchestra.
Lyrics :
You consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the Scylla and Charibdes
Hypnotized by you if I should linger
Staring at the ring around your finger.
I have only come here seeking knowledge,
Things they would not teach me of in college.
I can see the destiny you sold turned into a shining band of gold.
I'll be wrapped around your finger.
I'll be wrapped around your finger
Mephistopheles is not your name
I know what you're up to just the same
I will listen hard to your tuition,
You will see it come to its fruition.
I'll be wrapped around your finger.
I'll be wrapped around your finger
Devil and the deep blue sea behind me,
Vanish in the air you'll never find me.
I will turn your face to alabaster,
When you'll find your servant is your master.
You'll be wrapped around my finger
You'll be wrapped around my finger
You'll be wrapped around my finger

Finally a Police video focusing on the coolest member of the band.
Best instrumentalist!
Yeah, to say you are a Police fan is to say you’re a Stewart Copland fan. Nobody is going to see Andy. Sorry Andy, still love you. Truth
@@MrMarkpark Except for omegaman
My favorite rock drummer.
And the geekiest!!
Not a drummer... a master percussionist. THAT'S what Stewart Copeland is...
YEP. very technical and perfectionist. Several Opera's, movie soundtrack's, The Police is just a small piece of his career.
If you listen carefully he is playing to a percussion overlay. That sucks a little bit.
@@pimpshark it's just a conga hit on beats 2 and 4 for texture everything else is still authentic
@@MattiaPaganelliDrums Yes a conga beat which is overlaid percussion. Exactly as I said.
@@pimpshark does that really take away from the musicianship tho? not really
This is not drumming. This is magic
Every little thing he does is magic
Perfect percussion 🥁
No, it is definitely drumming.
@@yt.lilsantee i thought the same comment lol
@@alanpartridge4681
No its plate spinning lol
237 dislikes are from people who had to set up all these microphones
Or for the percussionists angry at his abuse of the timpani
😂 good one!
😂
Each person would have to set up like 3 for there to be enough mics for all of Stewart’s stuff
LMAO!
Fun fact: Right after this concert, Steward Copeland competed in The All Valley Karate Tournament.
🤣🤣🤣
But sadly lost to Daniel LaRusso!!! :)
Although Derek Zoolander was forced out of work, it’s good to see he could upskill himself and find employment as a fairly successful musician. Great success story 👏
This comment made me laugh. Thank you.
GO FOR THE LEG STEWIE!
when Neal Peart says one of his influences is Stewart Copeland, that's saying something.
They were very close friends... Along with Doane Perry from Tull.
Damn
RIP Neal peart
Copland, Big time influence among drummers,
That says everything!
Took me about thirty years to realise that Stewart Copeland is way beyond extraordinary.
It's a shame Sting never realized.
Sting has always respected the talents and abilities of Copeland and Summers (and vice versa). The strife and disbandment came because Sting and Copeland disagreed on the drum rhythm for each song Sting wrote. They all realize that The Police are greater than the sum of their parts, and the reunion tour proved that. Watch “Better Than Therapy,” you see the dynamic and how with age came the maturity to overcome the strife.
@@norgepolo translation: he didn't respect Stewart Copeland.
Same here, he's brilliant.
Same , always loved the trio that were The Police but didn’t appreciate the absolute genius of their musicianship.
I love how he plays for most of the song without using a classic snare backbeat… when he finally does add one (at 4:20) it’s like a shot ringing out.
Not merely an amazing technical drummer… a true musician, who understood how he could take the band’s sound to another level.
The whole arrangement sets up that final chorus to be so impactful like that... I mean that's a beautiful groove he's on with that one
4:38 ..adding that cymbal....love that part...whole performance is amazing
The Paiste gong cost around $6,000.
But someone *is* playing an eighth-note hit hat rhythm all the way through (or it's on tape).
@@nazfrde I keep hearing something like a tabla in the background, so it's accompanied throughout all (?) the song. Also someone is playing synth, so the backbeat could be programmed through synth.
Been a guitarist for 12 years and Copeland is the only drummer that has ever made me wished I had picked up the sticks instead
i've played guitar well over 50 years & have the same wish...still.
Same x 1,000,000,000
Same here! Guitar for 8 years and bought my first little electronic drum kit this year, all because of copeland haha!
You can do both!
@@hughmcgowan5015 yeah, ask Dave Grohl
With The Police, it's just not fair: You have one of the greatest singers ever, one of the most unique and innovative guitar players ever and one of the most unique and interesting drummers ever. What a trio!
sting is top 6 pop/rock musicians in history
other in the list in no particular order:
george michael
freddie
roland orzabal
barry gibb
david bowie
so anyone who come in contact with string and played with him in a band by de facto is absolutely great and so is stewart copeland... after all he is part of the top 5 bands in history which is a very big deal.
Yep!
so ist es
You made one mistake. Copeland isn't a drummer. He's a percussionist 😀
Sting is a great composer.
Stewart is unbelievably talented. He is so intelligent and wickedly funny. I love when he throws the mallets and drumsticks in the air as he transitions to each component. 🙌🏻❤️
I loved that too. Quite the showman, on top of everything else!
@@janinem5196 - A showman indeed! 😊
In this particular performance, he's totally beyond greatness!!!
I like to imagine the conversation going like this:
Stewart: "I'm gonna need a timpani for this concert tonight."
Drum Tech: "Stewart that's crazy."
Stewart: "You're right. Better make it two."
Eddie Hackim “Oh, and a gong. (Holds hand above his head) About this size should do it.”
I can hear this conversation in his voice
But it was such a good decision- the timpani sounds great
i mean hey compared to carl palmers kit its not that crazy, dude had a 2 ton stainless steel drum kit with 2 timpanis and 2 giant gongs on a giant rotating platform
Eddie what are u smoking mate? Your chatting shit
Without Copeland, The Police would have been a far less interesting group, and not as well known. A case can be made that he was the real star of that group.
No he is overdramatizing simple background music......No wonder Sting left and the POLICE demised.
Without Copeland, there wouldn't have been The Police as he created the group! It was literally Copeland's group and managed by his brother Miles. Copeland is also the core focal sound of the group.. wouldn't be The Police without Sting or Summers, but Copeland was the main ingredient who could not be substituted.
beamer USA - You obviously have no understanding of the complexity of what he's doing.
he is just trying to make it appear that is complex spoiling the mood of the song and the effort Sting was putting in it... look closely and you will see the farce Car Guy
Did you know Copeland STARTED the group, despite Sting's frontman stuff he's actually the original founder.
I had no idea how complex this song was from a percussion standpoint. Absolutely amazing.
A joy to see a man working and playing in his passion. So blessed
Probably the best version of this song I've ever heard. When I saw this in the concert video, my jaw was dropped for 6 minutes. Awesome.
funny this is one of my favorite songs and i dont think the tempo and pace really suit the song
I saw these guys live in 2008 and it was incredible. There were times when Stuart could easily take the spotlight away from Sting. Many times actually for me. That concert was one of the most memorable times in my life.
Too slow version
@@carlocarilli7666 That's your opinion. It's only marginally slower than the original was. The arrangement is what I was talking about. I prefer this rendition with the instrumentation. I feel it's just more impactful than the original. Don't get me wrong, I still love the original version, but this was something fresh, where the artists managed to play around and bring other nuances out of the song. At least, that's my opinion.
Mine, too.
Stewart Copeland, truly is one of the most musical percussionists you'll ever hear.
Stewart Copeland baddest drummer out there in music industry
Best drummer I ever heard hands down
Thank you Stewart 😊
The sound crew: "How many microphones do you need, Mr Copeland?"
SC: "Oh, about 153 should cover it"
Not only a great drummer and percussionist, he can beat Sting's ass.
Not any more Sting got jiu jitsu now LETS GO
@@geraldfriend256 So what? Copeland has like 3 inches and 40 pounds on him and his dad was in the CIA.
This song is a classic. Without Stewart Copeland it wouldn't have reached our radar to the extent it has. He is PHENOMENAL.
The best thing about this reunion tour was the way they reworked a lot of the songs. In the 25 years they were apart, they all grew as musicians. Not only Sting with his solo success, Andy went deep into jazz and Stewart wrote operas, ballets, and film scores. They redid a bunch of their songs to reflect this growth. Slowing tempos, lowering keys, and extending and adding sections that didn't exist before. My favorite song from this tour was their new version of "Invisible Sun". Loved this slowed, deeper version of "Wrapped" as well.
Ticket prices were very high, so they needed to give the audience something special. What they did was take the hits, what the audience is there for, not the deep cuts, and extend them with solos and new material. A band of geniuses.
Copeland's drum tech earns his money!
hahahahahahaha
Jeff Carlson he is great mam in what he foes
In the 70s people where more inlightment then this fast world today. I played in a band I love this man Grace how he moves with the music love Lydia. .
lol..4 real man.
@@lydiasoto8723 .... are you drunk?
Copeland is a percussive genius, a true musician.
Totally agree. A true drummer's drummer.
Second only to Bill Bruford in my book. Superb!
I agree with you, but you did murder half the cast of season 4
He is a pro. However considering he has been drumming all his life it’s expected. I mean if you were brought up under same circumstances it would be you here. Not taking anything away from him. If you have passion, time and money you too can be great.
Yes, agree, absolutely
'Wrapped around your finger' from start to finish is one drum/percussion solo..by one man, Stewart Copeland. I consider this one of the best drum solo's ever...P.S. From an era when Sting by just opening his mouth, gave me goosebumps. Nowadays, not so much..
Stewart the Best in the world
Drumming is not a sport; and it's not a speed competition. The thing that I feel sets great drummers apart is the use of "space", and timing, and unexpected and off-beat fills and recoveries. Stewart is the man; every video I see of him is a drum lesson in musicianship.
I remember back in the early 80's (yea, I'm old), the Police came to the Washington D.C. area. The buzz around high school was that Copeland was coming to town - gotta get tickets for Copeland.
Cheers ...
Yes!
thx for sharing, i believe so
there's no need to excuse yourself for being old, because so are the police, and they are OUR generation. So when a young dude would aks me why i still go to a concert,
then i would ask him what he's doing at a police concert, because he wasn't even born when the police started to get famous, and we the old people had the privilege
to grow up with them and their music. REAL MUSIC that is, not that fake shit from today's "artist" who are dead in the water without auto tune.
Agreed - just one example of judicious restraint is how he leaves the cymbals to the end of 'Every Breath You Take'.
Saw them live, twice, here in the UK! That was way back in the day.
Let’s be frank. Copeland’s talent is unmatched. This man is percussionist extraordinaire rather than just the best drummer I’ve personally ever witnessed. I’d love all The Police materials to be re-released with the lyrics removed so we can focus purely on the musical dexterity of all three members, which is totally stunning in itself.
Let's be Frank? You mean Zappa? oh hell ya Frank found guys like Stuart Copeland, geniuses, prodogies!
@@BogartChannel7 yeah, Copeland is def an all time fav percussionist of mine, but not sure anyone holds a candle to Bozzio
@@BogartChannel7 Then why do his drummers always suck?
@@GoldenMinotaur having a lot of drums isn't a substitute for being a good drummer.
@@redrick8900 Drummers don't ALWAYS suck, it's a thankless montonous job that attracts cocaine and alcohol, every band the drummer always dies first. Spinal Tap they were always getting new drummers. Stuart was the exception, Terry Bozio, Phil Collins, Ginger Baker, Moon and Bonzo, plenty of good ones were out there.
I was lucky to see them live in Bombay in 1980, couldn’t believe that 3 guys couldn’t sound so good. One of the best shows I seen, ever.
"How to make a drummer's dreams come true."
Lightening struck three times in the same place with this band …
Stewart Copeland make percussion look like a true art.
it is art... what is true art in relation to drums...? Do you think drummers are less "artful" than a pianist, or sax player? Art is art.
@@morbidmanmusic absolutely not. Every musician is an artist. I was talking about SC.
Goosebumps. It's not often that I applaud a video at the end. this man is one of the greatest percussionists in pop music history.
Mr Copeland....wow...you are no drummer..you are a scientist in the percussion world..your way beyond drums...Excellence......pure Excellence.......
he is a Rhythmatist - remember?
Why dont musicians in today's bands put this much effort into their craft? An absolute master at work.
They do - The Police so unique - to this day their musicianship is hard to match.
They do, they just aren't popular enough to be easily discovered
Ya, really? Looped shit. I love the police but 80% of this shit is looped
@@thomasrudder9639 This isn't looped, but you are loopy.
@ bull freakin shit it isn’t. I’m a professional drummer.
Stewart Copeland GEANT !!!!!
The fact that every cheers for stewart shows how amazing he is
See kids, percussion is cool.
i love this particular performance of this song, especially this alternate-angle-view; it demonstrates very effectively just what a great musician stewart copeland is...
no question.
Truly Genius, Stew !
This punk is over-dramatizing it. Credit goes to Sting......No wonder Sting left the band.....
beamerUSA Stings music was and is, boring w/o the Police.
LOL yeah what a genius. Rhymed "knowledge" with "college." Shakespearean.
The Master at his best. Love this !
This guy didn't miss a beat that's all years of a percussionist and one of the best
Guess what?. I got a fever! .. And the only prescription is... More Splash!!
TheKinoEye 🤣🤣🤣 hilarious ....and i get it 🥁
That is some of the classiest musicianship you'll ever hear. Ever.
I could loop this all day and not be bored...!
I would say Stewart Copeland is one of the finest police was outstanding in concert❤❤❤
My favorite Police song, and there are many to choose from. Always brings a tear to my eye. I remember sitting on the top of a cliff with the deep blue sea behind me in Malta and this on my walkman in 1984 listening to this - a perfect moment of synchronicity. A beautiful song.
A perfect moment of... synchronicity. ;)
I see what you did there. :) So many amazing Police songs. If I could only hear one band for the rest of my life I think it would be the Police.
It was always about the drumming with the Police. Some fantastic songs by a great band. Mr Copeland gave those songs a unique edge with the use of his imaginative and creative drumming, but also his ability to know when to use the silence. He allowed the music to be enjoyed by refraining from the classic mistake of over playing. Great credit to all the members of the band and a big thanks for the fantastic music.
You point is fantastic,he really did allow others to express them selves.
Well, let’s be fair...he also knew how overplay the fuck outa the space left by the other guys lol
@@jahread3322 yeah I can see that 😂 but it was always with such a phenomenal feel to bring a ton of tension into the picture.
Sting was good with just a simple drum track. Stew added all the rest.
@@seanmalatesta4957 A lot of bands need another guitarists, or keys, or other elements to fill the space. Stewart did that with his drums and percussion.
What broke up the band was, Sting never learned to trust Stew's mastery of space and timing. He wanted a metronome, not a multicultural percussion section.
Good God that man is a genius!
Always considered this man the greatest drummer of all time…..Sting’s voice is phenomenal as we know….but the police were …….STUART COPELAND and his beats …..totally amazing🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
It looks like he's playing an Italian deli..amazing
Dude really?
@larshoneytoast33 instead of sausages, hams, cold cuts, and a skinned cow hung up/on display, he has chimes, splash cymbals, crotales and a gong :-)
@@matthewhartman7269 I think he means the pots and pans, ladles and plates, etc.
Stu style and feel make my spirit soar and reach to the sky. That's my experience of the man.
He is right up there with the professor...
I was never a Police fan. But a Stewart Copeland fan
our man is not revered enough
legend. no more words needed.
A masterclass in percussion.
Schöne Erinnerung an die Jugend, am Samstag zur Disco Tanzen 👌❤️
Copeland you have inspired a lot of us. A true genius.
I could watch this dude for hours. Amazing, total mastery of the drums. He UNDERSTANDS his place in the music.
Mr Copeland : Excellence as standard. He has the W@W factor times a Million !
Drummers: part musician/part athlete. Love all of you! Stew is the man.
He's very precise in his playing. It's like he has a perfect ability to duplicate complex beats several times over without a single mistake
He misses many things if you pay attention
@@lechavs I disagree. He’s really not missing a ton of things. His recoveries flow into the rest of the song which is just his natural ability. His fills and said recoveries are what make Stewart Copeland in a different league than any other drummer.
@@patrickbateman5088 objectively he misses things. He's improvising quite a lot. He's awesome, but that doesn't change the facts, and I was replying to someone saying he's perfect
Truly a genius of his own craft. Stewart Copeland is the best!.
Damn ...
I never recall the song was this good ...
My housemate introduced me to the Police ...
When we were both studying in Lincon, NE, USA, in the 80s ...
It was Synchronicity album ...
I was hooked ever since ...
Ringo was always my fav. drummer....and Stewart grew up in a different time and is absolutely awesome in this and in general.
stewart is a master class....period
Stewart Copeland is a genius
I liked the Police when I was young because they were cool.
I appreciate the Police now because they’re artists of the highest caliber.
Always love police always on the radio 😊and top pops ❤here in Ireland 😊
The 60's had it's magic in music but the 80's did too, especially when i hear this song.
I'm glad there's a video that focuses on just the amazing drummer...rare to find. This is Excellent!
There are gongs and then there is THAT gong.
It's a 60 inch paiste symphonic gong
Just confirmation that the police were one of the greatest rock bands in history. One of the rare occasions a band sounding even better live than the recording
If a band sounds better live than the recording then they did a bad job recording the song.
@@redrick8900 It must suck to never enjoy a concert when the band you're there to see plays all of their songs slightly differently than they did when they recorded it years (and in this case, decades) ago. "Aja" by Steely Dan is often touted as one of the best studio recordings of all time. I've seen Steely Dan several times over the years and, other than Donald and Walter (RIP) being present as they were the two core members of the band, they had a rotating group of musicians who would tour with them any given year. As incredible as the "Aja" record is, nothing compares to when the band is playing it live right in front of you. Anything can happen during a live show and that's what makes it amazing. You shouldn't go to a concert expecting them to sound exactly like the record. That would be boring as hell. It's the imperfections of live music that makes it great!
@@gustafsone You don't know how concerts work.
Miss these gents but still listen on in this year 2023👍🎸
Master of percussion there is no one to equal him it does not depend on the speed it depends on the feeling when he plays I see him play and it moves me to tears ... Steward is the man
The greatest showman and an iconic drummer. The Police was a band where the sum of the parts was beyond compare but the rivalry between Sting and Stewart Copeland was a catalyst for magic and a toxic entity. Stewart’s percussion work is terrific in this film!
Never really thought about the drums in music till the police and Stewart. It's like I woke up and became aware of everything before him and afterwards.
The real show of this song is the guitar, this delay/reverb effect is the best, i love.😊😊
Never was a big fan of the Police or Stewart, but as I get older I’m appreciating him much, much more. He’s an excellent percussionist.
How can you not love this guy? A true master!!! Thank you Mr. Copeland for yet another inspiration. I need to get me a gong!!!
That gong is approx £10,000
to everyone else yes you are right, but I doubt Copeland is paying for ANY of his cymbals, being one of their highest profile endorsers on a world wide sold out tour, Paiste is handing him anything he wants.
I dunno.. maybe.. he probably pays for some stuff, and gets tons of kickbacks and preferential rates through endorsements.. £10,000 is a lot though they can't hand them out to every high profile drummer ;D
Not to mention the Paiste Sound Set he is playing and the two octave crotales & cup chimes, which are not cheap either, with the gong you're looking at about 20K in percussive sounds. I would not be surprised at all if they loaned him that stuff the tour, you be surprised at how well top level endorsers are treated with free gear though.
Oh btw he mentions in that video I just linked to, a free amp given to him by Ampeg. He IS extremely wealthy though, so free gifts or not it wouldn't seem to matter. :) I do know that celebrities get 20/30/40% off supercars like Lamborghini. Incidentally hs police kit sold for $122k. After nearly 30 years in storage I wonder how it sounded compared to the early days! www.julienslive.com/view-auctions/catalog/id/216/lot/89702/
Damn…. All this time I had I crush on sting since I was a teen. I’m now 55
A master at work
We love you, Stewart.
you are only one person
You get those singers that sound like nobody else, like Copeland, I have not heard a drummer yet that sounds like him... only one of a kind, he has been a big influence in my drumming.
Brandon van Heerden Will give it 2 Copeland 1 other band were 4getting with the bad gas drums.NIRVANIA!!!!!!!!!DAVE IS THE MAN ON THE KIT......
3 words: Total. Fucking. Legend.
i've heard a lot of drummers but stewart has his own sound is in a league of his own
Ah the man who gave rhythm a meaning in the 70`s and 80`s.
His style was so unique, it baffles drummers even today
I live for this track. The best drummer of all time
😲Forever Musical Weapons!
They Were Meant For Each Other!
THEY ARE JUST LIKE WINE!
THEY GET BETTER OVER TIME!

The Genius of Stewart Copeland
I sold Andrew a New BMW in Beverly Hills, for his Son, in 2012, and being a ex touring professional musician and drummer myself, I expected some form of ego, before meeting him in person, but there was nothing but a warm gentle soul, and we talked music for a while, and he even played and signed a Strat that I had brought in for 15 Minutes, amazing person, and absolutely phenomenal guitarist.. he actually found the harmonic in the wood of the guitar body in 30 seconds, and it sounded like an acoustic, in our glass showroom. It was truly an amazing sight to see and hear. Will never forget it.
bay all accounts, Summers is a genuinely nice person
Definition of the great musician. You can tell who's playing with your eyes closed. The Police have three of those.
They have one. With my eyes closed I can't even tell there is a guitar in this band.
Magical. Sounds. Of the. Eighties. Up close. 🤙
Best rendering ever of this song and...by far.
The thing I love about Mr. Copeland is that when he plays drums it’s not like he just plays for fun, instead he plays with passion and emotion much like he is telling a story through is drumming.
I love this version. Inventive. Textured. Dimensional. Percussion forward to a classic song. Giving the audience the hits they love but also making interesting for The Police to perform. 👏🏼 Wish I saw this reunion concert!
You are not the only one!! 😢
Thankou so much Stewart Excellent drumming😅🎉❤ you are brilliant🎉🎉 ❤sheila Duke
Definitely one of the greatest percussionist of all time! Long live Stewart Copeland & The Police Thank You England !!!
