- Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic is a great song! I can’t read that without hearing the chorus in my brain and feeling a little happier. I covered two other songs by The Police as soon as I could possibly manage a version when I first started playing drums because I grew up listening to Zenyatta Mondatta on repeat. Every Little Thing is actually from Ghost in the Machine along with some other classics. I have little doubt I will revisit Stewart Copeland and The Police again in the future as well.
I talk briefly about what makes Stewart such an interesting drummer for me but it’s a simplified explanation. I say he pushes or plays in front but he actually does it in a way that can’t really just be called rushing. Like many great drummers, he’s able to isolate the groove he plays with his hand from the feel he has with his feet. He keeps everything in the pocket with his kick while he provides so much excitement and energy with where he puts his snare and fills.
That’s without even getting into the fact that his playing style is so distinct and recognizable that IMO, he’s one of a very short list of drummers that are as responsible for their bands overall sound as the singer or songwriters. I learn something every time I sit down to play along with Stewart Copeland and it’s always a blast to decipher his intricate hat work and signature writing. Yep, I’m a fan :) If you want a laugh, you might look up my first two attempts at The Police on Roxanne and So Lonely. I think I was 10 and 12 years old at the time.
I’m 15 years old and I want to be a professional musician when I grow up. I try to play lots of instruments but the one that I feel most at home on is a drum set. I would say the only thing that impresses me more than a great musician is a great songwriter so I also spend some of my time trying to learn the magic of songwriting. I thought it would help me keep focused on music if I started a drum series where I learned a new song every couple of weeks. After 4 years, it’s now turned into a larger musical search but my goal hasn’t changed. Hopefully, I will keep doing it, keep loving music and keep getting better.

Such a surprise, to hear the Drummer talk about what she was doing; and why !! AND, for her to make mention of Stuart's snare - Because it makes an incredible difference in the way sound is produced.
Amazing Cymbal work...Very impressed !!
Every Little Beat She Does Is Magic - amazing!
4:15 40 years later & that specific drum fill still rocks my world
Yeah I got ya. Her snare sound wasn't that thrilling though.
me to, love that fill. This whole song is one of my favourites of all time. I pretty sure its the 1st song I ever liked when I was a small kid. im learing it on guitar ATM. the chord progression is really inspiring.
This is awesome. I'm an old drummer, and I studied some of the same drummers you have, particularly Bonham, Peart and Moon. And then I heard Outlandos in a pair of Koss cans around 40 years ago. I remember thinking 'This changes everything'. Steely Dan's Aja changed a lot as well, but there are at least 4 world-class, hall-of-fame drummers on that record. They were all geniuses. Stewart was only one, but he moved the ball almost as far. From the bottom of all drummers' hearts, thank you for keeping great, acoustic, organic drumming alive.
That transition into the second verse....smooth like butter
nooooice (*_*(
Great job and great choice, young lady! Stewart Copeland is one of the finest time keepers to ever sit behind a trap set. Keep the covers coming!
Thank you - I learn something every time I try to learn one of his parts.
Who knew that a guitar a bass and drums would become one of the greatest band ever
You smile every time you nail a fill. Your love for percussions bursts through in your style. Great job, Mia!!
..sometimes I laugh when I play :) By the time I've learned a song, it's been calmed down to a smile. Thanks!!
You definitely look happy while you are playing this. The stick twirl is a nice touch. The smile as always is great.
:) this one got to be a lot of fun once I started getting comfortable. He's got such a unique approach.
@@miamorrismusic Like your version. Here is a 14-year old's cover, ua-cam.com/video/yfAE6_8DVyI/v-deo.html hope you like
@@miamorrismusic def has a different approach , the beauty of stewart
You get better everyday. I just love the influx of young women taking up drums and tearing it up. 😎
Now we need some all girl bands!!! Like back in the 80's.
I appreciate you supporting some of us :)
I enjoy watching and supporting a number of amazing drummers on UA-cam. Everyone is extremely talented in their drumming but what sets you apart is your let your personality show through in every video. Keep it up Mia right to the top!
Whats with all the sexist remarks? This isn't the 1930s anymore
It's a human being. It has limbs. I don't know why being a girl is such a important distinction.
I don’t always watch drum covers but when I do, I watch Mia.
Twirling the stick with that sassy smile was priceless. Awesome performance
Thanks - and thanks for the kind comment :D
It's all the detail, fills and flourishes that I love ... you don't realise how much is going on until someone (with skill) makes it so easy to see. Thanks.
That's a nice way to put it but I know exactly what you mean. Thanks for giving it your time.
One of my favourite songs ever and you smashed it! So much talent!
Wow! Double wow wow! This is an incredibly hard drum cover, yet you make it seem effortless. Nice stick twirl thrown in just because you can! The prodigal princess!!!
:) hey John - Stewart is a blast to learn fun, thanks.
Drummers are the magical clock for any band. If your drummer is solid, your band is solid. Well done Miss! Any band that lands you is fortunate.
I"m an 80's kid, grew up with this song. Great song! I'm not a musician, percussion is spot on by the smile on my face. NICE!
I have always noticed something about Police drummer I could never really describe. Thanks for the music lesson.🙂👍
He's very unique. Both he and the Police made there own sound which is so rare.. and awesome.
I find it incredible that this young lady is only thirteen. Her technique and her confidence are out of this world.
mmmmh...13? 5 years ago she was 13.
message? Nice! Hell; I gotta get to sleep! Great job. No more for me tonight!!!!!
This young lady is truly destined for Stardom! Her musical ability coupled with her wonderful personality is a sure fire combination. Best of luck to you Mia!
Thank you very much, I'll try to prove you right someday..
@@miamorrismusic I will bet that you do!😊
I love the stick twirl. Really adds to the fun of watching these. 😁
Thanks Jeff. I love this song..
Wow you did the song justice, such passion, amazing to watch all the finer points, mind blown, excellent
FANTASTIC! I really enjoy watching her play, especially since she basically made me watch just to see WHAT she is doing as a comparison, not that I'd know what a drummer SHOULD be doing anyway. Mia is just fun to watch.
Hi Mia.. Your a great natural teacher, thanks for bringing us along with you on this brilliant journey, and making it more accessible.
Love the Police bit too... keep up the fantastic work..🙂
Awesome work on the Hi-hat. The snare and your playing sounds great
🤘🏼🤘🏼
It was a fun one to learn from - thank you.
I'm a guitar player but first thing I noticed was her great touch on the Hi-hat!
Omg Mia...love this song..what u add to this song is magic...u super talented ♥️♥️
Love this. I’ve probably watched it 25 times over the last nine or so months. This is what it looks like when you practice a lot.
You absolutely killed it! Incredible job! I love this song and Stewart’s playing in general. Your playing made my day. Thank you! 🙏🏻
You're adorable..
Ever notice great performers make their craft look so effortless...?
Yours was lovely..thx!
I really appreciate that - thank you.
My favorite thing about Mia is how she's always smiling while she plays. It's obvious this young lady just loves making music! Mia, I hope that never changes for you, no matter how long you're in the music biz, which can be a toxic environment. Rock on, young lady! 🤘💜🤘
You nailed it, David. As a dad with three daughters, the number one thing for me is to see them smiling. Mia loves what she is doing - and it shows greatly. Wishing her tons of success in the future!
I hope it's a very long time. It's my favorite thing - thanks.
Very Good and Very Pretty without a dought. But watch "Sina Drums" do Bostons , Foreplay/Long Time. And orhers that she has collaborated with all over the 🌎. Mia and Sina and other young musicians bring back the days of our youth from songs from the early 70s, 80s and 90 that most of us either forgot or no time to listen too. Thank you for that...
People would pay me cold cash NOT to sing, much less anything musical. That being said, Mia’s solo guitar videos are dirge like, make me think of funerals. The charismatic spontaneity of her drumming is no where to be felt in her singing and guitar. An exceptionally beautiful voice, but in the manner of gloom. I am no expert, but I know what I like.
This is a fantastic track and with one of my fav drum fills. Stewart is a legend and you rock!
You’re understanding of drumming theory is very astute. Playing since ‘85, you opened my eyes to the pocket, and how malleable it is, and still being correct. The consistency would have to be slightly rushed, dragged or pocket. Unless dragging during a time change and then rushing for the hook.
I’m really digging linear drumming and swimming through the beat. Learning that simple is often more and the best fill in the game is the rest.
Your sober presence is such a wonderful treat. Your clear eyes and heart are magnetic and we are invested and engaged while you play. Thanks for showing us you. You always add value to my day with a smile. You’re a great kid, tell your mom I said so.
Wow! What a phenomenal performance of a very difficult part- As I said, there's a reason Peter Gabriel hired him to play just the hi-hat...⛰🎩 Love him working the faders of the old school board in the vid 🎛🎚 Have a great weekend Mia! 🌞
You too - thanks. I hadn't heard that about Peter Gabriel but I can certainly see the logic in it.
Everything little thing you do you do it with apparent ease & a smile..;-))
Ha! Apparent belongs in there :) thank you.
@@miamorrismusic Apparently the better you become, the more comments you'll get...or so they say..;-))
I love when one of your videos pop up to start my day❣️ My days are never easy but your talent make the day much better❣️A true gift to music❣️ Thank You❣️
Oh yeah great job👏👏You sure make it look easy 🥁🤙great skills look forward to seeing more 🤙🤘👍✌️
Wow, spot on Mia!!! What a awesome drummer you are and it totally shows when you play! I grew up listening to The Police and was fortunate to see them in concert! One of my all time favorite rock group back in the day!
I hope your still keeping up with Mia. She will be making history in the music world!
Mia...that was fucking awesome!!!
My favourite Police song and one of my all time favourite drum performances.
Fantastic to hear/see it up close.
Looking forward to the next one.🤩
Thank you very much - I love the band as well!
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. You love these songs and it really really shows. Thanks for making and sharing this, it's wonderful stuff.
Amazing playing!
Your understanding and respect for what these musicians created is really cool.
I love the Police :) I really wanted to do Stewarts part justice.
Absolutely killed it! I think Copeland is such an underrated drummer. Thanks for doing this cover!
My pleasure. I think he's one of a kind and one of few for having so much impact on a bands sound.
Stuart Copeland is underrated by NOT ONE single person on the planet who knows even the slightest thing about music.
Your drumming is more smooth than most people can even walk lol👍
This ladies chops are unreal 🔥 great accenting with every piece of the drum kit, very talented 😊
Only in Nashville - your name, your knowledge, your character and charisma are contagious. Your parents must be musicians - very forward thinking smart people. Congrats on your future success
Every thing you do is also magical. Great drummer! Mia!
:) thank you
💞💞💞 Awesome Stewart is one of my Favorite Drummers I kind of play my Traditional Grip like him
he makes that look so cool!
I love the joy you exhibit when playing. Infectious. Keep those sticks swinging Mia Morris 🤘 🥁
I really appreciate that :) thank you for taking the time.
Copeland was (and still is) an absolute beast, and incredibly few can duplicate what he does. But wow, that was incredibly good. Sky is the limit with your amount of talent.
wow - thank you very much and I certainly agree with you about Stewart. I LOVE his playing.
Awesome job, great song! Love your facial expressions while your playing. 🤣
Thank you and thanks for taking the time to comment.
Damn Mia you nailed it 😋👍
Had me tapping along.
Really synced like you were live in the band😘🤘😉 just awesome!!!!
Thank you, I really enjoyed playing this one.
Mia, one word describes this one................."PERFECT!!!!!". Best video of yours to date! Had me in tears as I watched! What a NATURAL you are! Stay humble but be the BEST at your craft!
wow - I really appreciate you taking your time to watch and comment. This one was very rewarding to learn and play and I'm really glad to hear that comes across in the performance.
OMG this a great cover! You totally have captured the Stewart Copeland feel. Those extra hi-hat flourishes were just out of this world perfect. I have to go listen to this again.
Very nice job!!! You're awsome with them stix!!! ☺☺☺
:D I love the drums!
Awesome job Mia. You manage to make it look easy as well as fun.
I try to get the songs dialed in to where I don't have to think much.. then, they are totally fun to play - thanks!
One of the best of The Police. Great Cover! Thanks for sharing.
Phenominal! You captured the essence of the grove and Stewart's unique sound flawlessly. I haven't been on your channel in a while but I am glad I rediscovered you. Tons of new stuff to explore. Keep it up Mia. You are a true talent. Thank you!
Well done, Mia🙂. You work those cymbals so well! Drumming is in your soul, no doubt about it...you make a difficult song look easy, plus you have so much fun doing it...it comes right from your heart...that's a true artist, no doubt about it
Man that's a great job. Steward Copeland stuff is super challenging and you make it look easy.
What I also like is how you engage the camera/audience. You've been doing this since your early videos and seems to be something that you do naturally, which is an amazing natural skill to have,.
I really appreciate that and it's funny you mention the early vids. Not everyone likes how much I smile or that I perform, and I used to consider doing something else occasionally. Then, I happened to be answering a comment on my very first video and I watched it and laughed as I saw it's exactly how I played when there was NO WAY anyone would see what I posted. I love to play and apparently perform. I'm glad you like it because it's me :)
Love the twirl of he drumstick! You are amazing playing.
Your drums are the drums that resonate my heart! I was so excited! It's the best!
Wow, great job on a real tough drummer! Your smile is magic! You are stunning!😘
i really appreciate that, thank you!
O, you make it look easy. It can’t be that hard. 🤔
Jk
Your amazing the range of music you do is very impressive. U go girl!
My hats off to your parents as well. Great job Mom & Dad! 👍
:) thank you and I will pass that along!
I have to say I've been a fan of The Police since I first heard them in the late 70's and in my life I've only heard two drummers that came close to the 'swing' Copeland gets into his hi-hat, you are one.
Well done!
Just.. WOW. One of my favorite drum pieces, played masterfully.
man I love song too - thank you.
Awesome cover Mia!!! Keep rocking!!!!
Thank you. It's a fun one to play :)
Geez, that was great! You're so good at figuring things out. Bonus for me, since Ghost is probably my favorite album. We'd wait for MTV to play this because it was so fun. Once again, awesome Mia! 😀🤙
I'm with ya on Ghost.. so much great material over several albums! Thanks :)
Awesome job. Fabulous and very technical. Your very Talented ❣️
Each time I see you, I am amazed at how effortless you make it look as time goes on, almost like you're just messing about, so relaxed.
I appreciate that comment. If I can get the song to that point, it's so much fun to play.
Bravo!
A+ for song selection! One of my favorite songs from perhaps my favorite band.
Stewart Copeland is such a great drummer...so technical and precise, I know it’s him playing, immediately. His stuff is not easy to do justice to, but you killed it!
Thanks for another smile-inducing post! Keep up the good work and keep on rocking!
I'm with ya on Stewart and the Police. How cool that a drummer is so distinct that you can tell listening :)
Yessss!!!...did I say yes?.yesss!!!..thanks for vid.."it's been awhile"..haha..love ya!!
yaaaasss - such a fun one to play!
That was amazing! Keep up the great work, my favourite song ever.
My favorite Police song. Thanks. Loved every second.
Man, I love it too. They've got some really great stuff - thanks.
👏🥁You did Stewart Copeland proud
:) that's a cool thought - thanks.
Your own stylings and finesse are tremendous! You have a mind like a metronome and yer killin' it! Fan forever!
I appreciate that, thank you very much. This one is a blast.
One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands and drummers.Mia you killed it.I,ve played along with this song a "thousand times a day" and its way harder to play than what it sounds.Stewart's style is completely unique and difficult to mimick.Beautiful job.Really enjoyed it.
I really appreciate that and it makes me smile to picture anyone playing that - sooooo fun.
I remember seeing this three years ago, and I forgot how absolutely amazing it is. So glad it came up just now as a recommendation. This has always been one of my favorite Police songs and you absolutely nailed it. You perfectly captured everything about Stewart’s playing style. All the little subtle hi-hat things are just so impressive. And I’ve always loved his snare flams which you also re-created of course. You make it look so easy, but this took a lot of hard work. First to actually learn it, and then to be able to execute it with total perfection. You are a very gifted musician. Not to mention all of the other instruments you play. And on top of everything else, you’re only 14 here!! Just so impressive.
First time listener, man you have some skill with those drums. Very well done. Subbed.
I really appreciate that. Thanks for taking the time!
Jeremiah Hessian
Im sure this won't be your last Time listening. Mia is
a very talented and fun to watch musician. Check out all her performances you'll understand! Enjoy her!
Great Job! Covering a Iconic Song! You’re A Great Drummer LOVE ❤️ your Personality so high energy Great Beautiful Smile 😃 Very Cute And Talented!
Cheers 🍻
Thank you very much :)
Classic song. Covered it awesomely. And I loved how you explain the sound travel, because your right. And to catch that bell is chilling. Great job!!!! =-),
Great job Mia! Unrelated, but still... I am forever baffled by how nobody ever addresses the steel drums during the chorus. It's the most amazing and unique part of this already exceptional song.
Dang..... props for doing Stewart Copeland
thanks for giving it a chance :)
Mia Morris
My pleasure Mia! Stewart is without a doubt my favorite drummer of all time. I had the pleasure of seeing the Police twice when I was a young man. He is mesmerizing to watch. I am very impressed with your skills. You are certainly gonna go far. Rock on young lady!!!🙏🏻
Mia, Mia, Mia...
Too many great things in this performance to mention here.
Truly some Big Girl hi-hat work going on.
#bettereveryday
Peace. JR
hehehe - my Dad likes to mock me with, big girl comments occasionally. (He really thought this one was good too tho). Thanks!
As always... Excellent!
Its wonderfull! Thanks for sharing with us!
Every little cymbal she hit was magic!
hehe - such a good song..
Aw, everything you drum is magic... ♪ ♫ ;)
:D Thank you very much!
I'm 52 and grew up with my 63 year older brother listening to them...this is my favorite and damn you got on!
Love Stewart Copeland...and the Police. Awesome selection. Great job...sounded just like Stewart! I actually listened to it twice in a row...AWESOME!
:D I really appreciate that. I really had a blast playing it once it began to sink in and I've got so much respect for how unique his playing is.
@@miamorrismusic You know the cool thing is that you're teaching us about music too. I am a huge music lover...but I myself am not musically inclined (I can't sing and I can't play any instruments)...but I love and appreciate music. I really had never heard of the terms, "playing ahead, behind, or on top of the beat". But when you mentioned it, it made me research it, so I could understand what you were talking about. I guess, I always assumed that drummers always played on top of the beat ALWAYS. I appreciate the lesson and the awesome playing, on your part. Keep it up! Love hearing you play.
I wasn't sure if I was talking too much about that so I appreciate you letting me know. I find the subtle difference really cool and if I don't sort of adopt the drummers feel, it sounds consistently sloppy, if that can be said. Stewart really is one of the more unique drummers with his approach so I thought he's be the guy to talk about it if I was ever going to.
One of the best covers I've seen you do yet, Mia! You look so confident and at ease behind the kit. Curious, how long do you practice a song usually before you shoot it?
Thank you. That varies of course. This one was maybe 3, one hour sessions of really digging in and figuring out what he's doing then another couple of sessions trying to really lock in with his feel, memorize the part and get to where I'm really getting to enjoy it without thinking too much.
Great job. One thing: you could move your stick a bit forward on the rim shots for a tighter sound.
I'll experiment - thank you.
And Stewart recorded that in just one take! Insane!
Amazing all the exact arrangements, cool cover.
Great! My favorite Album is Ghost in the Machine. from Japanese
I love the Police and that's a great record for sure. Thanks!
Well done - Stewart Copeland is one of the Gods of drumming... will be interested to see you tackle Neil Peart
:) Thanks. I'm guessing I tackle some Rush when I have time to do it justice.
Thank you Mia!! 😃😁 Im 56 going on 15, and its just so nice, so cool that younger people enjoy and appreciate 70s and 80s music! Im a drummer too and I love playing, sometimes I think thats why I still have a pulse! Lol. but to see the younger generation putting time, effort into playing a musical instrument is simply Amazing!!! keep up the great playing.😉😎
I can see drumming keeping you young - I hope it does the same for me :) Thank you very much!
That was awesome 👌. Love Stuart Copelands drummin
Stuart Copeland was absolutely awesome. But I like looking at this drummer better.
hehe
@@miamorrismusic you are so cute!
Made my day..great work..love the floor shot w the vid in it..is that new?..I don't remember seeing that before.. anyway...thanks again gorgeous..have a great weekend
Thanks, pretty new - you have a good one as well!
Awesome job 👏 like always thanks for the cool into an telling us what's hard about a song and kinda breaking it down for us
I'm really glad to hear that wasn't a bore - thank you.
This is just soooooo great! I'm just sitting in Uruguay, with a beer and an autobiography of Steven Tyler on my table... and when feeling that we lose all the great music, then I just need to watch your videos which always calms me down as your music sends me back to the time when I felt the music was pure and true... Stay Rock!N!Roll
