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 !!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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
Hi Mia, thanks for the technical breakdown on what Stewart is doing. He is one complicated cat. I remember buying GITM on vinyl. You played it very well.
@@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.
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! 🌞
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!
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.
Very good effort. Copeland would be pleased. Thx for opening commentary. It helps to understand where your thought is as you're approaching a cover. Keep that up!
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!!!
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 :)
It’s hard to believe that you are only 15 years old. The way you command an audience is astonishing. Your ability to dissect a song and play it to perfection is only surpassed by your confidence, charisma and stage presence. It’s hysterical to read about how you want to be a musician “when you grow up”. You’ve accomplished more in your first 15 years on this earth than a majority of people will accomplish in a lifetime. I am also thrilled to see someone your age sharing your knowledge through a channel that will reach many generations, especially yours. It gives me hope for the future. Honestly, watching and hearing you play just makes me happy. You have been blessed with a genuine gift and it’s refreshing to see you using it wisely. Your passion, drive and determination demand respect and, for what it’s worth, you certainly have mine.
I'm not sure how best to respond to this but thank you for such a kind comment and for taking the time to share it. I like that this makes you happy. Music does the exact same thing for me and what a simple, cool, perfect reason to do it. I also love the idea that I might be able to be a part of keeping or reinserting musicianship and real instruments back into popular music and to my generation. Thanks Jeff.
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.

Stewart Copeland is absolutely my favorite drummer. Saw the police during the Ghost In The Machine tour, and The Synchronicity tour. Blown away both times. Outstanding cover Mia!!!
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.🤩
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.
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.
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! 👍
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
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!
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
Excellent, Mia. I'll guarantee ya that NO drummer offered a thumbs down on this video. Actually, I don't know why anyone would, but some are just so jealous that others can accomplish something where they can't accomplish anything. You've come a long way, kiddo.
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! 😀🤙
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!
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!!!🙏🏻
Amazing! I saw you on AGT an immediately subscribed. So much talent, and such a good head on your shoulders. Never look back young lady. I love the Police, grew up listening to them. CW4 L. Wilson, Retired Army
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.
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.
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
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.
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.😉😎
Out of all of the female drummers channeling on UA-cam, you are the absolute BEST!!! You have an impeccable meter, patience, and control over any kit you play. This is coming from a former "A" circuit frontman from Tampa Bay who played with some extremely talented musicians over the span of 17 years, and opened for some amazing national act e.g. Greg Allman, Cheap Trick, Foreigner, Blue Oyster Cult, Steppenwolf, Little River Band...and more!!! You are FANTASTIC, and very cute to top it all off!!!
I really appreciate the very kind comment and for you just taking the time to watch. I know being an opening band has it's challenges but I would love the chance for those challenges :)
Thanks for explaining the technique. I've always loved the beginning of this song. The Police rocked. When they hit the scene they came out of nowhere and introduced the world to something new.
I love that! I can't think of anything that would make me more satisfied to do something new and be successful doing it. I just don't see that very often. Especially recently.
Mia Morris ...Yes, the Police was one of the standouts that came along in the eighties. We (I'm rock and roll like Led Zep (before the plagiarism), my all time fave being the 'early' original Grand Funk Railroad) just never heard anything like it. The same impact was made by the B-52's. Simply unlike anything before it.
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..🙂
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 !!
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.
Absolutely agree
Every Little Beat She Does Is Magic - amazing!
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.

That transition into the second verse....smooth like butter
nooooice (*_*(
Who knew that a guitar a bass and drums would become one of the greatest band ever
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.
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
Was fortunate to see the Police in concert - early 1980s. Rock on boys and girls - and well done to this talented young lady!!!
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!😊
One of my favourite songs ever and you smashed it! So much talent!
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 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.
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.
message? Nice! Hell; I gotta get to sleep! Great job. No more for me tonight!!!!!
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!!
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
Wow you did the song justice, such passion, amazing to watch all the finer points, mind blown, excellent
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.
Everything she does is magic. Great attention to detail - amazing!
Every little thing she does
32'nd note flourishes - amazing and beautiful!
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.
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!
Omg Mia...love this song..what u add to this song is magic...u super talented ♥️♥️
I've been watching this girl for 10 years now and she's just an amazing musician!
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
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.
You're adorable..
Ever notice great performers make their craft look so effortless...?
Yours was lovely..thx!
I really appreciate that - thank you.
Hi Mia, thanks for the technical breakdown on what Stewart is doing. He is one complicated cat. I remember buying GITM on vinyl. You played it very well.
Thank you. I got buried in Zenyatta Mondatta for a solid few months. I love those guys.
You have got to be the happiest drummer I have ever watched! Very refreshing!
ha! I've been noticing a little drummer face creeping in lately when I'm playing live...
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.

You too - thanks. I hadn't heard that about Peter Gabriel but I can certainly see the logic in it.
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.
Your drumming is more smooth than most people can even walk lol👍
Very good effort. Copeland would be pleased. Thx for opening commentary. It helps to understand where your thought is as you're approaching a cover. Keep that up!
I appreciate that - I love his drum parts, so fun to learn.
I'm 52 and grew up with my 63 year older brother listening to them...this is my favorite and damn you got on!
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.

Fantastic to hear/see it up close.
Looking forward to the next one.🤩
Thank you very much - I love the band as well!
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!
💞💞💞 Awesome Stewart is one of my Favorite Drummers I kind of play my Traditional Grip like him
he makes that look so cool!

My favourite police track, heard fresh first time around 1981
Love this really!.
Stewart Copeland is my #2 fave drummer. He is quite the artist and you do him justice.
Thank you very much.
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.
Wow, great job on a real tough drummer! Your smile is magic! You are stunning!😘

First time listener, man you have some skill with those drums. Very well done. Subbed.
I really appreciate that. Thanks for taking the time!

I'm with ya on Ghost.. so much great material over several albums! Thanks :)
Charismatic lady with loads of personality and talent. I thoroughly enjoyed this so I’m gonna watch it again...and again
Thank you for giving it your time and thanks for the kind comment.
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!
Yessss!!!...did I say yes?.yesss!!!..thanks for vid.."it's been awhile"..haha..love ya!!
yaaaasss - such a fun one to play!

I didn’t realize drumming was so complex and stylized. Thank you, Mia, for broadening my horizon!
Amazing! I saw you on AGT an immediately subscribed. So much talent, and such a good head on your shoulders. Never look back young lady. I love the Police, grew up listening to them. CW4 L. Wilson, Retired Army
👏🥁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.
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.
you make it look easy. You are really 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.
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!

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.
Mia you are a gift to humanity great skills , bless you.
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.
Great! My favorite Album is Ghost in the Machine. from Japanese
I love the Police and that's a great record for sure. Thanks!
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!
Your drums are the drums that resonate my heart! I was so excited! It's the best!
Well done Mia Morris , wow I can hear the technical subtleties , I appreciate the drum composition even more. Thanks
would love to hear you play 'in the air tonight' by Phil Collins
No
Stuart Copeland was absolutely awesome. But I like looking at this drummer better.
hehe
@@miamorrismusic you are so cute!
1st?
Yep!!!
Yes, mail in a screenshot for your free Chicken Sandwich from Chick-fil-A.
:D hey Eric!
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.
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.
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!
Out of all of the female drummers channeling on UA-cam, you are the absolute BEST!!! You have an impeccable meter, patience, and control over any kit you play. This is coming from a former "A" circuit frontman from Tampa Bay who played with some extremely talented musicians over the span of 17 years, and opened for some amazing national act e.g. Greg Allman, Cheap Trick, Foreigner, Blue Oyster Cult, Steppenwolf, Little River Band...and more!!! You are FANTASTIC, and very cute to top it all off!!!
I really appreciate the very kind comment and for you just taking the time to watch. I know being an opening band has it's challenges but I would love the chance for those challenges :)
This is a fantastic track and with one of my fav drum fills. Stewart is a legend and you rock!
Love the twirl of he drumstick! You are amazing playing.
My favorite Police song. Thanks. Loved every second.
Man, I love it too. They've got some really great stuff - thanks.
Thanks for explaining the technique. I've always loved the beginning of this song.
The Police rocked. When they hit the scene they came out of nowhere and introduced the world to something new.
I love that! I can't think of anything that would make me more satisfied to do something new and be successful doing it. I just don't see that very often. Especially recently.
Mia Morris ...Yes, the Police was one of the standouts that came along in the eighties. We (I'm rock and roll like Led Zep (before the plagiarism), my all time fave being the 'early' original Grand Funk Railroad) just never heard anything like it. The same impact was made by the B-52's. Simply unlike anything before it.
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..🙂
Mia, missed you behind the kit, glad to see you back behind the drums . Fabulous job. 🤘
Thanks. This one was a blast to do.
Just.. WOW. One of my favorite drum pieces, played masterfully.
man I love song too - thank you.
Excellent job on the high-hat. That is the toughest thing when playing anything by Stewart.
One of the best of The Police. Great Cover! Thanks for sharing.
