Yes! This is a really superb drum cover of this tune! Thanks for sharing! I love the floor tom action, which I think was an overdub by Copeland, along w/ the cymbal chokes. This is a great way to approximate it all live. Excellent drumming!
Thanks for the post Rob. Your pocket is Grand Canyon big man! Loved it. Your respect for the track really shined through. Stewy is a living legend and one of the most creative, original and musical drummer ever heard.
Christopher Clark Thanks for the props, man. Stu is definitely the reason I picked up the sticks in the first place. I think I've copped every signature lick in that dude's pocket and to this day I can't seem to play with anyone without pulling at least three of them suckas out. :)
nice work bruh! I had never even heard this Police song before, I see why you picked it . I'm putting this on my list. I haven't even worked up the chops to play "Don't Stand So Close To Me" yet, gettin there though. Thanks for the drum tuning videos too. It helped me stop worrying so much about equipment and working on getting better. Keep posting vids, we appreciate it.
It's nice to see Rob cut loose...he always tries to educate dummies like me,but seeing him in full flight is amazing. Now,you look knackered at the end of this.Stew kept this up for hours... :)
Great job, man! Next time record your feet as well and it will be even more useful. Still, you helped me a lot, I've watched it 30 times yet, I'm studying it. Best cover I've found of this song.
Hi im recording a demo for my band , se have already récord everything but the quality of the drum sound is very poor im interested in buying some songa from your online drum studios , hoy can i contact you??

+Rob “Beatdown” Brown He's a hi-hat master and one of the kings of rhythmic displacement.
NIce to see someone do this justice after suffering through so many terrible videos of other drummers.
Thumbs up!
Awesome! Good to see you playing a cover and with such a powerful and in-the-pocket groove & expression.

+The Big Deal Wow. You dug deeep to find this one! lol Thanks dude 🙂👊🏽🇨🇦
Rob Brown - I was checking out your drum tuning videos and this one popped up and it was damn good!
A true classic. Love this one!
Nice...Love that floor tom pattern!
MASTERFUL TECHNIQUE !
Love your style and attitude
@penski77 Very cool...i love the sound of it. Thanks
You rocked that one! Nice cover!
@aggahee122 That's a 20" Zildjian K Custom Dark Ride. Every household should have at least one!
Awesome brother, just awesome!
Nice job Rob! I like this song too.
Learning this for a cover band and this was the only correctly played version I could find.. great stuff as usual bro!
Durn!!! When was this?!? Long time ago! How we all love Stewart!!! LOL!
Thank you, Mr. Brown!!
Stewart would be proud..
Very nice sound 🤗
you nailed it, bro great job
SWEET MY FAV POLICE SONG!
Oh my gosh, I just realized you covered this 🤣. I was just talking about it on your latest Drumeo video 😂.
Damn! Amazing.
@penski77 That's got a great sound, thanks. Have you ever played on the A series Sweet ride, and if so, how do they compare in your opinion?
Sounds great. Nice ode to the original parts with your own flair. Your sounds are right one too. Love the hi hat sound. What kind are those?
tdrum21 Those are 12" Zildjian A Custom Mastersound hats. I was playing the bottom hat on the top.
That's a huge sound for such small hi-hats! The bottom heavier? They look bigger than that!
Congratulations on an awesome cover sir!
Bravo!!
Snare tuning is exceptional
Love it!
You sir, are a BadAss!!
Well played buddy!!
Spot on yo👌👍✌️
Master!!!
Well done!
Man - that was f$&ing awesome m8!
Nice Rob! You've managed to play Copeland's parts and make it your own. Digging this!
P.s Its my favourite Police song too.
I see this is an old vid, but it sounds so good I had to comment. Was this a drumless track?
I was thinking how Stewart Copeland looks great on you, then I read he's the reason you picked up the sticks...it shows man! You are certified BAD AZZ
Epic.
Great playing as alays Rob :)
Nice!
You switched to Zildjians? Sound very very nice!
Great job, man! Next time record your feet as well and it will be even more useful. Still, you helped me a lot, I've watched it 30 times yet, I'm studying it. Best cover I've found of this song.

What type of Ride cymbal do you use?
" kick ass" (Cartman voice)
Anyone who plays K's is instacool. Anyone who plays a perfect Copeland beat goes the extra mile!
