Damn who doesn't love the sound of Stewart's snare?! That has always been such a tight sound!!!
Stewart Copeland is in my top 5 all time favorite drummers. I think that he's amazing.
I worked that show with Stewart . I now own the whole setup . On the day Stewart used all my hardware snare and double pedal 😇🙏🏼🥁
Didn't know that. Cool. We were at that taping. It's always great to see him playing.
You are lucky 😉
That Tama Starclassic in a beautiful orange finish is beautiful! Lucky you!
I’ll trade you my 4 piece tama swingstar (well used) for that amazing kit
What happened to Jeff Seitz?
I love watching Stewart play.....always busy,and,looking like he's having the time of his life...offbeats scattered all over the place....nice little unexpected fills,and,a TON of dplash cymbal work...punchy,punchy,punchy.
Stewart Copeland is an absolute favorite. I agree with you about Spirits in the material world. Keep up the good work!
Love Stewart Copeland, so unique as a drummer. The bass drum in the intro to Bring On The Night melts my brain. His high hat work is incredible. I believe Peter Gabriel brought him into record JUST the high hats on one of the tracks on "So". I think it was Red Rain. A fantastic, original musical talent.
He's also playing on a Gabriel single B side called Across the River. Well worth listening to.
His mastery on the hi-hats is not to be underestimated! He also played drums on the same album of Gabriel's which was "Big Time".
@@IAmInfinitus208 LOVE Big Time
The Drumming is pure Stewart Copland. It may just be me, but I hear a certain Zappa influence in the orchestral composition.
I've read that Stewart really had to be coaxed into this because he doesn't consider himself a soloist, which I don't think he is. But he remains one of my biggest influences from a rhythm point of view. I do remember Tony Royster Jr. was on Letterman one night and he was remarkable.
The piece they're playing straight of the album Letterman was promoting for Stewart is called "Birds of Prey".
It's a great album! I also Really like track Genepool
Love Stewart Copeland! My first Police album was also Zenyatta Mondatta. I'm a bass player so I love listening to great drummers. Thanks for your reactions. Subscribed!
I'm also a bass player and LOVE the great drummers. I actually did a Police tribute band for a bit.
Copland grew up around Arabic rythms.
As far as I remember, his drummer teacher was Lebanese.
Copeland has always been one of my favorites. His drumming on Voices Inside My Head, One World, and Demolition Man are just sick.
One World is Copeland masterpiece by chancing tempos inside one single song.
re-humanize yourself 3 minutes of pure energy
Agree, how about "Murder by Numbers!" I can't do it I get too frustrated 😂
Godsmack drum battle is epic! Anyone here would enjoy it fully. My first concert was the Police at Seattle Center arena for Syncronisity and I went up in the stands behind Stewart and watched him play. It's why I play today. He had very inappropriate words on his drum heads.. Love your reactions from North Bend...
Copeland and Bruford are my favorites
@David Calderon Thanks!
I second that!
Some of the best, for me I would add Neil Peart and Danny Carey to that list.
@@nickavenoso7851 Neil's playing with Rush for me died after the Signals record, they went digital techno electric drum sound, and it wasn't that intricate like pre Power Windows day's.
I’m not a huge Police fan, but I’m a huge fan of all 3 as musicians 👍🏻
great explanation of what drives Stewart's drumming. I know that at least he's the best cymbol player that comes to mind. He's still using those Tama Octabans which were pretty cool back in the day. The Letterman drum off was great, what a drum kit. I like his Rhythmatist solo album. One World Is Not Enough- Stewarts drum fills are awesome- sounds great and images well on my speakers
Bonus points for the Bruford photo on the wall behind. ❤️
You win - I couldn't work it out!
That kit sounds awesome, gotta love Copeland
This Video was long overdue, thank you for posting..... Keep Up The Good Work !!!
I really appreciate your breakdowns of these great drummers, Garey. Thank you.
I did a gig a few years back with Stewart and John Chimura Parker in a church in Ottawa. The space was very reverberant and still is. John was playing a 9 foot Steinway full stick and the drum set was only a few meters away. In soundcheck he felt the drums were very loud. This with the PA basically muted. Stewart said immediately, "Would it be better if I played the show palms up?". He changed his technique just like that. It was brilliant. A real treat to witness one of my childhood hero's bow to the gig. I learned a lot that day. Stewart is an amazing player in so many ways. Not the least of which is he plays the gig with the entire act in mind. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had as an mix engineer.
Absolutely fantastic Gary And I'm not talking about Stewie Copeland's playing which is of course fantastic as well. Roxanne did it for me. I was playing in a shitty low-level band but full of music lovers. That off-beat. Wow. What a great feel. Rock music is SO underestimated. The level of musical skill with SO many of its practitioners is astonishing. And it's all straight up and true. No AutoAnything or computer-generated plastic music rehashed over and over. Gary, you've done everyone a favor with your wonderful expositions on these great musicians. Thanks so much. The continuing education of the music public beckons. Maybe we'll do away with autocue and go back to people just playing amazing music - who knows!!!!
That "re-recording" has in a way already been done. Stewart (and Sting, Andy) often played in a more exciting way and with a more jazzy feel in live settings than on the LPs, especially around 1980-81. And some of these concerts are available on UA-cam.
stewart copeland easily top 10 drummers of all time great beutiful drummer
Good video. I really love when the drums (and bass) come in on Synchronicity 1. Sounds like a bomb going off. Kaboom. And that crack sound of his snare! ooooooohh. Great stuff.
With the Police, I had the opinion that Stewart's drum tracks would not be complete without Sting's bass tracks, and Andy's guitar. In an interview he even said as much with several songs he would just play the kick, and it would free him up to play fills, however, if the song was a jigsaw puzzle, the bass guitar lines were what made that possible on many of their songs, like walking on the moon, Roxanne, and message in a bottle-even the guitar parts were intertwined into the songs -all 3 instruments rounding out the drum kit, sometimes the guitar being the snare, other times the crash, this freed up Stewart to do mini-fills just about anywhere in the measures, Sting, and Andy had the "kick" (bass guitar), and "snare" covered, Stewart mostly had to constantly work the hi-hat, and kick drum, which freed up his right hand, to do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted.
I used to get into deep discussions about Stings bass playing with the Police... People saying he wasn't that good. I did a Police trib band. I was Sting. Yes, his lines weren't that complex. They didn't have to be. Indeed Andy and Stew provided plenty of complexity. Sting provided the space that made them shine even more. AND... The bass lines aren't that difficult to play on their own. BUT... Try singing Stings angular lyrics and playing those lines... They often are very out of sync with one another. It's a workshop in veiled complexity!!! It took me a good while to get Driven To Tears down. The next song, When The World Is Running Down, was hard too sing and play too.
Great channel man, really appreciate your analysis!
Big fan 👌 no more need to be said!!! Thanks again Ragu.
I don't do traditional grip a lot, but I prefer to do it the way Stewart Copeland does it. I get more power that way.
Sensational
On my list of all time favourite drummers. Stewart Copland is at number 2.
Very well spoken, Sir
Hi Gary. I agree with Naxrox Druid. The new VIC FIRTH video of Danny Carey is amazing. I feel that the people who follow your channel would love your take on it.
It's an absolute must do!
I found an early example of Gary Husband in'77 at the age of 16.
Syd Lawrence Orchestra Featuring Gary Husband"Drummin Man" Its Swing.For your consumption Mr.Williams.Thank You
Thanks Garey !
Youthful exuberance! Most enjoyable.
Great review as always! Looking forward to that Manu Katche reaction video. His performance in Secret World tour with Peter Gabriel is a masterpiece. Thanks!
Please send me a link. Thanks!
2:46 you should listen to ghost in the machine, the drumming is phenomenal
I have :-) I saw the concert when that album came out :-)
Stewart Is im my top 5
Hi Gary, hey... so you mentioned your familiarity with Zenyatta Mondatta .... please have a listen to "Regatta De Blanc".... you will no doubt thoroughly enjoy Stews' employment of intercontinental rythms....Its a fan fucking tastic album to boot... peace...
Talking the 80's Peter Gabriel, yeh & the eagles' Van Halen, Icehouse, Starship, Jerry Harrison, Queen another one bites the dust, eye of the Tiger by survivor, & Toto Rosella rosella another Epic song from the 80s Rock on bro🤘✌️🎸🥁👌.

Hey Gary check out Yoyoka shes a 10 year old drummer from Japan!
Copeland gave me the PHYSICAL URGE to pick up sticks, it physically hurt me inside to stay put
Stewart was a huge inspiration to me as well. Thanks!
spyro jazz. i can dig it
danny carey pneuma live reaction?
Please check out the Danny Carey drum cam from Vic Firth during the song Pneuma live! It's mind blowing!
Check out his work on the original pilot of Babylon 5 amazing
You should react to the ‘Buddy Rich vs. Jerry Lewis’ drum battle. 😁
In 1983 I met Buddy Rich the week I saw him do two shows. He was glad to hear I saw both shows. Witnessing greatness is only the start with Buddy Rich. I sat behind his drum kit (in the audienc) at one of the shows only 15 feet away off to the right to get a birds eye view. Other than Buddy's great Tonight Show appearences, drum offs with Ed Shaunessy and Johnny himself, many other videos out there, I realised how fast and precise he was. It defies physics because he never misses the intended hit and beat. All this while he's wearing a three piece suit. Still the best ever IMHO. BTW, Buddy;s fav rock drummers were the late great Neal Peart and Carl Palmer. I've heard him say that in a few interviews actually. I think Gene Krupa was a big influence on Buddy and big band jazz in general.
Hey man, great work!! Could you maybe take a look at Shofukan, Outlier or Lingus from Snarky Puppy? Drums in each of these are SO good!! its worth a look :)
Send me a link. Thanks!

Drumset Artistry basically any song from this album is amazing 😉 but it’s on you what song ist best from a drumming perspective
@@DrumsetArtistry ua-cam.com/video/fuhHU_BZXSk/v-deo.html thats also great
Manu Katche is a very musical sounding drummer-
hey dude can you react to A Ouzoulias, Pewee Desfray? COllins, Chester Thompson, Richard KOlinka, Manu Katché and Renaud Hantson and Damien Schmidt ?
Next episode check Han Bennink ua-cam.com/video/WWcr8a-8XO4/v-deo.html
North Africa! Iirc it was more middle eastern rhythms than african dito that influenced Copeland at a young age.
I've had a quick flick through your video list. I don't see any reactions to the great jazz-rock drummer, Billy Cobham. How about it?
react to "JD Beck" please!!!!!!
Send me a link. Thanks!
Stewart is one my top favourite drummer's for sure, far from "simple" I don't think Stewart was/is much of a drum solo guy, I don't know why his playing is fantastic. Kids need to learn it don't need to be 1000 km an HR to be great and hard. I'd like to see the average Joe sit down after playing "Fight Fire With Fire" by Metallica then play "Murder by Numbers" 20 bucks he can't!
I have the man for you Dave Disceno he’s my buddy rich
4:22 Everyone has this tendency to want to go back and 'fix' things. Just ask George Lucas.
Hey, please react to *Mick Tucker* from *Sweet* . He was *LEGENDARY* !!
This is *No You Don't* : ua-cam.com/video/Ndnidos5HRU/v-deo.html
This was semi-lame compared to the ferocity of Stewart’s display of unrivalled talent when playing in a pub with a police tribute band. Its a wonder the drums survived such a remorseless thrashing! The intro to this live version of Driven to Tears is unlike any other -

Hated this. Neil Peart and Stewart playing with a subpar Letterman band. Not a congruent showcase of talent when they don't vibe with a preselected band.
This isnt my pick for his drumming
I totally agree. Reggae/rock -mix-style is the thing. Not this.
Bad song to review
This solo did nothing for me
Yawn. Those drums sound very generic and bland. I don't care for the Police after Sting disrespected John Bonham in 1979.
Overrated.😒
