@@IMajst3RI Not really. His super famous for being one of the best drummers that ever lived. He's won grammys and an HFI awards for his soundtracks. He's in a super group with Les Claypool.
@@IMajst3RI The Police were once the biggest band in the world, and all members were household names at the time. Musicians respected the hell out them, and whilst the layperson may not be able to understand Copeland's technique (you cannot seriously expect ordinary people to have working knowledge of theory, linear drumming etc), they appreciated it when they danced to the records. He probably moved a billion people over the years. How much appreciation is enough? lol.
@@IMajst3RI Every drummer I've ever met, regardless of genre, respects Copeland. Artists across the board respect the Police. There is at least one documentary about his influence on music. Who exactly is underappreciating him and what could they do to appreciate him more?
Stewart always hit so freaking hard. Really cut through the other sounds. Thank God because that is percussion that needs to be heard clearly. Such mastery.
I saw them on the Synchronicity tour when I was in high school. Seeing Stewart play in person was incredible. I've had an elevated appreciation for drummers ever since.
"World" and "afrobeat" was used extensively by The Police, Paul Simon and Genesis. People now try to call it "cultural appropriation, I call it great music.
I've told people that Stewart Copeland is my all-time favorite drummer. Their reactions are usually ones of surprise followed by "well, yeah I can buy that" lol
Although I like them both, I'd still put rush ahead of the police as for musicianship. All are amazing but neil is a better drummer than stewart, Alex is a better guitarist than Andy and Geddy is a better bassist than sting. Vocally sting is way better that's for sure lol
@@Yourbankaccount so you think sting is a better bassist than geddy? If it's a combination of vocals plus bass I'd take sting because geddys vocals are terrible lol. As just for bass playing geddy is far better and that's not knocking sting as a bassist because he's really good.
@@jlobiafra All three of them had some jazz background & chops. If they wanted, they could've played some much more technique demanding stuff than Rush back in the day
@@fleatactical7390 That's total BS. Drummers typically peak in their 20's. Ringo did. Ward did. Buford did. Mason did. It's an athletic pursuit. Peart and Collins totally lost it in their old age.
@@redrick8900 Because they had illnesses, obviously. Ward had a drug problem, "Ringo peaked" because the band essentially ended earlier than expected. But even he continued to improve as a drummer over time in the years that followed with his own project. If you take illness and popularity out of the way, it's obvious. There are thousands upon thousands of pro drummers... Bruford, Suchermann, Rich, Steve Smith, Weckl, Grohl, Hakim, Mangini, Lombardo, Phillips, Chambers, Portnoy, Bozzio, Lang Gadd... all of them are at the top of their games today. And if they did in fact peak, it was easily when they were beyond 50 years of age. More independence, refined technique, more mature compositions.
If only the members of the band could've gotten along. I would have liked to hear them do something new. Unfortunately Copeland and Sting seemed to resent each other to the point of almost hatred. This tour was famous for the band arguing and disagreeing on almost everything. To my knowledge they havent played together since.
It isn't that they hate each other. It's that they are bored with being the Police. Sting and Copeland are musicians with incredibly diverse careers. Being stuck on one instrument and one style is tedious for them.
@@morbidmanmusic Well its certainly true from my perspective having been a fan since 1979. If you don’t agree on Stewart being the greatest drummer of all time that’s your right but you’ve no right to be abusive to others
@@ImpartiallySpeaking While I don’t agree with Morbid Man’s delivery, he does have a point. The GOAT title is thrown around a bit too easily, and this is, of course, all so subjective. I, too, am a lifelong fan of Stewart, and his incredible drumming is without question highly influential and unique. He is one of my major influences. But let me give you some names to check out: Vinnie Colaiuta, Buddy Rich, Steve Smith, Dave Weckl, Matt Garstka, Virgil Donati, etc. These guys have facility on drums equaled by very few. They can play absolutely anything. Their control, speed and musical feel are legendary. Having said that, I don’t think it’s healthy to even have a label like “greatest of all time” for musicians, because music is a creative endeavor that has no empirical evidence. You either love it or you don’t. It’s not like a sports star, where the scores and stats determine greatness. There’s room for everyone in music, and anyone can make their mark on the map. 😊
@@roelkuiper9919 Hi Roel. Yes it was very much a subjective viewpoint where everyone’s entitled an opinion on GOAT. I’ve followed Stings career since 1978 and drummers like Vinnie and Omar Hakim bring their own sense of identity and style to police material as did an old friend of mine (Ronnie Pearson) who was the first drummer in the world to perform police material long before the police even existed. When it comes to the recent BILLBOARD readers poll of who should play drums with the Foo Fighters at Bonnaroo, Stewart won by an absolute mile. That said I don’t think it’ll happen! But there’s no doubting his influence on new generations of up and coming drummers like Elise Trouw
One of the 5 or 6 best drummers but not the greatest! The best is John Bonham then Keith Moon. There is also Mitch Mitchell, Ringo Starr. But I find Copeland much better than Neil Paert for example
@@redrick8900 Yeah he can, Collins was one of the best drummers of the 70s by a long shot. He was in a jazz fusion called Brand X that was really good where he showed his chops a lot more. He goes nuts on some of his stuff with Brian Eno as well.

Stewart Copeland is one of those drummers who the more you watch him, the more cool shit you see him do. The dude is friggan amazing!
He is way unappreciated
@@IMajst3RI Not really. His super famous for being one of the best drummers that ever lived. He's won grammys and an HFI awards for his soundtracks. He's in a super group with Les Claypool.
@@redrick8900 That still does not mean he is fully appreciated.

The little snare break in walking on the moon is lovely
@@paulmcgrath6118 Yeah, following it with his attack on the hats was amazing.
I think he’s the best drummer in the world
These guys deserved every bit of hype they got over the years. So good
Fun fact: he started using double bass pedal after watching Joey Jordison from Slipknot.
Even when he’s playing extreme it feels so controlled and deliberate
I saw them on the Synchronicity tour when I was in high school. Seeing Stewart play in person was incredible. I've had an elevated appreciation for drummers ever since.
I graduated 1986 here in Utah.
Rock, jazz, classical, folk, metal, middle eastern, world, punk, fusion. This band could do it all.
to be fair, and as much as i love them, they never played any metal in their songs. not even close.
No : devitto face
Lol. Wrong.
There are elements of metal. And that metal is gold
"World" and "afrobeat" was used extensively by The Police, Paul Simon and Genesis. People now try to call it "cultural appropriation, I call it great music.
Fun fact: he was one of the influences of Dave Lombardo
Boring fact : you found that out from RUclips.
and taylor hawkings
@@joaquinlezcano2372 because its a boring fact...?
He basically influenced every single drummer that started playing since the mid 70’s and after
@@JohnnyMaiaaa Hawkins
I've told people that Stewart Copeland is my all-time favorite drummer. Their reactions are usually ones of surprise followed by "well, yeah I can buy that" lol
Their arrangements were so well composed and flawlessly executed.
Wow, a hybrid of "Roxanne" and "Driven to Tears" -- very cool!
And doing it with a traditional grip. Even though I'm nobody, he'll always have my respect
They were probably a better band live than in studio
Stewart Copeland is a Badass! Loved his drumming from the first time I heard it. Very accomplished.
Dang!!! And he's still a killer drummer at 70!!
Wow , he’s 70!
Wasnt in is 70s in this vid ....
@@JayCord00 yeah but he's still a killer drummer today almost approaching 71 in July!
@@voahiranarakotonaivo6480 Saw him play just a couple of months ago. Can confirm: still a beast!
@@kevztunz nah
Damn, how does Sting hold that vocal note for like 20 seconds straight? o_O
built different
A lifetime of practice
The guy can fu## for days too
One of the cleanest drummers in Rock music for sure
This guy also wrote the music for Spyro
I knew it was going to be this clip before I even clicked it! So grateful to have seen this reunion tour live!
Stewart Copeland's one of the best drummers to ever walk the Earth, regardless of boxes... I mean, genre.
Still kicking myself for not seeing them on the '07 tour! Ugh
What I love about The Police is that each member of the band is a fantastic musician in his own right. The best rock trio of all time, period.
Along with Motörhead ; )
Although I like them both, I'd still put rush ahead of the police as for musicianship. All are amazing but neil is a better drummer than stewart, Alex is a better guitarist than Andy and Geddy is a better bassist than sting. Vocally sting is way better that's for sure lol
@@jlobiafra I'd argue Summers is worse than Alex & Stewart than Peart. Andy doesn't like to show off, but he's a pretty great lead guitarist
@@Yourbankaccount so you think sting is a better bassist than geddy? If it's a combination of vocals plus bass I'd take sting because geddys vocals are terrible lol. As just for bass playing geddy is far better and that's not knocking sting as a bassist because he's really good.

0:56 for the impatient
It works because he braces it with softer more refined playing. Also Copeland is pretty much the best of the best.
That one time The Police played Driven to Tears and Roxanne at the same time.
One of my drumming heros.
He is one the Igor Cavalera's favourite drummers.
That’s what I love about this guy on drums ❤🙏
I love Stuart's playing very unique
These guys kick ass man
Copeland es un fenómeno. De los mejores de todos los tiempos.
Copeland has always been a beast and always will.
Sensational stuff - looked like a great gig all round. Anyone know if this whole gig is available somewhere?
Got chills when they turned into Roxanne
He was in Prog rock group in the early 70’s, so he’s got the lot.
Curved Air. They were great!
Batteur grâce à lui !!!!!!!!!!! Finesse créativité originalité il a tout !!!!!!!!!Great DRUMMER
Alwasy loved compelands playing - but i think hes an even better drummer here than as a young man! Fantastic
With the exception of Lars Ulrich, most drummers, the serious ones at least, improve with age. Same with any musician really.

More independence, refined technique, more mature compositions.
This was a brilliant reunion.
My second favorite rock drummer of all time, after Neil of course.
Atta boy, the king is in every comment section waiting to be found.
That is pretty normal for Stewart, you can never truly
judge a drummer by how they sound on a studio recording
Os 3 são excelentes músicos...
Power trio...
Give Stewart a drum kit and a pair of sticks and you'll be blown away.. his drumming is guaranteed to get you going! 🥁 🥁
They say Cliff Burton (Metallica's legendary original* bassist who died tragically) was a big fan of The Police.
*Yeah, I know about Ron.
Wonder if Andy has ever played a straightforward E A or D chord than say an A minor diminished 7th chord😅
Always loved his chord sounds. Trying to learn guitar so I looked some of them up. What the fuuuu...
@@davidgamboa918 I suggest you grab the ice pack for your fret hand then.🖐️
the steward inspired and influenced the metallica in the song master of puppets in the main verse groove
You are a monster Stu 👍😍
Music of Police is music of Police; combination and harmony of 3 different superb musicians and eclectic but unique! WONDERFUL!
That's jazz straight from the Buddy Rich playbook, but I still love the video anyways haha.
All the while doing the trad grip. Respect.
When and where was this concert?❤
It was in Buenos Aires in 2007 or 2008, there is an album of this concert named "Certifiable"
Stewart is such a bad ass musician, always was and will be
There is a time and a place for everything.
The family guy clip of this band is so damn true
Copeland. One of the greats, no doubt.
WHEN ??????
Stewart sei sempre Meraviglioso il più grande grazie🇮🇹👍💪👊
That’s the best use of double pedal I’ve ever heard.
He’s outstanding.
There is not a metal drummer alive who could touch Copeland. Regardless or musical style, he is one of the GOATs.
Apples and oranges
Lille Gruber
When I saw the title, I thought for sure this was going to be the outro of "No Time This Time", which is amazing.
DOCTOR Stewart Copeland.
He was always like this. I don't know how he doesn't have crippling arthritis.
That is a cool version I hadn’t heard.
with trad grip
hell yeah
Sting's best artistic outlet was the Police. Left to his own devices, he became an overwhelming bore.
The Timming !
Stewart Copeland is the only reason I listen to the police.
was this before the double bass peddle
this was in 2007
Does anyone know where and when this was recorded?!! Thanks.
it takes a lot longer than 17 seconds to be able to play that
“and she never put on the red light again. The End
Nope. That’s just Copeland being Copeland. That’s a Copeland fill from the Zenyatta Mondatta era if I’ve ever heard one.
Sounds like he was trying to get the vibe of his good friend Neil Peart.
Someone call Geordie Heat. Tell them it’s Mr Sting from the big house.
What's up double kick?!
Stewart is rhythm and energy incarnate.
is this a new recording?
What concert is this from?
Favorite drummer. Genius.
This hard swinging monster has no peer.
BADASS!!!!!!
godly drummer
The older I get, the more Stewart is my favorite member of the Police 😊

It isn't that they hate each other. It's that they are bored with being the Police. Sting and Copeland are musicians with incredibly diverse careers. Being stuck on one instrument and one style is tedious for them.
They made pop records to pay the bills. Really Jazzers & Art Rockers.
i see stewart copeland i click
Stuart Copeland is awesome. Sting is an ego head which takes away from how great Stuart Copeland and Andy Summers are.
Love Stewart. The greatest drummer of all time ❤️

He's the boss!
Andy with a strat doesn’t seem right
He’s always played a strat and red one for that matter, prob the same one since the 70’s.
@@tiplady not a huge police fan but i only recall the sunburst tele
special band
Copeland beats his drums like they owe him money.
rocks
underrated drummer
Wow
Sounds kinda like old Phil Collins except Phil would do all of that with one kick pedal instead of 2
Collins can't play nearly this well.

damn!!
Metal it is not, but man is he ever a world class drummer
Yes, metal. Yet also transcendent of style.
