In the mid 1970s, I formed a three piece band (guitar, bass & drums). Our style was a fusion of rock and reggae. We gigged quite a lot, but nobody really, 'got' what we were trying to achieve. At one gig at a US Air Force (in England) a guy in the audience slipped a note onto the stage, saying, 'Play Yellow Ribbon, or I'll kill the power supply'. We obliged, but we still played it in a rocky/reggae style. And then The Police came along and showed us how it should've been done. BTW, on the original record, right at the end of the fade of the repeated, 'Sending out an S.O.S.' you can just hear Sting singing, 'Sending out an Esso Blue', which was a heating oil at the time. Good old British sense of humour.
We were called, 'The Flying Heroes'. I don't think l have any recordings any more. And l don't intend to rummage around in the attic all day looking for cassettes. I don't have a cassette player anyway.
Totally agree. The only reason I clicked on this video was to make sure the sound on my phone was working, and I ended up watching the whole thing. Simply incredible.
what i really liked was the fact that you switch hands on the hi-hat flawlessly, you are truly versatile and skilled, that was amazing, you nailed every back beat, every splash hit, every ride cymbal part, you make it look easy !! nicely done !!
Very impressive! 🤩👍 Copeland himself had done loads of overdubs on the studio recording, like the Ride bell in the verses, the descending toms in the chorus and the fill-ins in the outro 🙂
Totally blown away. That was just a superb cover. I'm 58 and The Police were a huge part of my life growing up. Never ever did I think I would see a cover as good as yours. I have just watched this 6 times in a row, your work is flawless. Well done young man. I look forward to seeing more from you.
Ive seen others play it, but yes this is how i remembered it and played it, very fast and some techno, most over play the techno jazz, when its not really that at all Great job👍😎
I like how you play your left hand on the hi-hat very cool very strong left-hand you have my friend a little bit too much sauce but it's awesome sauce but yes very well-done super impressed
You and Michalkow (and in his cover, he looks like he's been playing a bit longer than you have) - top drawer. I can only echo the praise of others in this thread who have understood the details they say you nailed down with various kit components. Outstanding!
Your drums sound killer. Excellent 4-on-the-floor Stuart technique. I've been playing the bass for 20 years - want to start a band???? You should. Get out of the house and co-mingle......
Great drumming. 👍Very close Steward Copeland. 👏👏👏👏

What was your band called? I'd love to hear your songs :P
Yes I thought I was hearing things when he sang’ sending out an Esso Blue !

@@janvanmesdag1641that’s so sad
I was just thinking to search that name
I guess you guys were great
( a respectful compliment from a younger person)
By far the closest cover to the original I’ve ever heard, awesome job!
watch Jake gilbert's drum cover
By far the best cover. He doesn't forget any details.
Like everyone else I agree that this is by far the best cover I have ever seen..SC would be proud to shake your hand
Thank you so much, Clifford! That would’ve been a dream!
Well he might soon do it, Copeland is Alive anyway
You are so spot on. I thinking for any cover for that matter. How impressive. What talent!
Totally agree. The only reason I clicked on this video was to make sure the sound on my phone was working, and I ended up watching the whole thing. Simply incredible.
I got an electric kit this week and just saw your video. And now I’m going to sell it
Haha that’s unfortunate!
This is a flawless cover, and maybe Copeland’s best work.
i have watched so many drum covers of this song and finally someone played it like Stewart Copeland. My deepest respect!
Thank you so much!
BIG thumbs up mate, that's a fuck** great cover, the best so far in my opinion.
Holy high hat! Nice

Great job ...!
Superb again
Thank you!
Awesome job! Grew up listening to the Police.
Nice playing, so cool how you use both hand on the hihat, for that song only doing it in that way makes it possible!
Thank you! Yes, there are numerous ways to play the grooves in the song but open-handed happened to be the easiest for me.
@@adamliljedahldrums9882 Love It!!!
BEST COVER EVER, AND HE ALSO ADDED SOME CREATIVITY
Thank you so much, Frank!
very cool !
perfect cover
Thanks!!
I miss my drum set! Excellent recreation, boy, let's see how you do it with One World, that one makes it more difficult in my opinion
Thank you! I can absolutely try that one :)
I have played drums off/on for 40 years. i am solid but there is no way i can do what you did with this great song.
Just keep practicing man! You’ll get there :)
Good job! 🥁
Just quality...
Beautiful
Wow i thought i was good at police covers but thats insanely close. Excellent 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Haha thank you so much!!
Excellent Drumming 🥁
Got SC down and with your own extra flavor to it. Mad Respect!
Thank you so much!
Awesome cover man, beautifully done.
Now try....
TOOL - 46 & 2
By far the exact way of drums play for MIAB..congrats..👍👍
good cover, nice drum kit
Thank you!
This drum part is Proof of the “off center-on purpose” genius of SC. It’s A real accomplishment to learn this cover. Kudos and Thanks
Yes, Copeland is a master at composing interesting rhythms. Thank you!
so good!!!
Thank you!
You and Michalkow (and in his cover, he looks like he's been playing a bit longer than you have) - top drawer. I can only echo the praise of others in this thread who have understood the details they say you nailed down with various kit components. Outstanding!
Thank you so much!
Impecable. Hats off.
What a groove. whoever your band mates are... they are lucky
Thank you so much, Oscar!!!
Amazing
Thank you!
Adam you killed it and for that reason I liked and subscribed.
Thank you so much for your support!
excelente, broder.
Pretty awesome
Thank you, Roderick!
excellent! this piece has alot of complexity - very well done!
very nicely done. this tune has some crazy left hand stuff
Thanks!!
Very well played! And perfect ride choice for this song btw.! Old classic Raker! :)
Thank you! Yes, it’s quite similar to the rides Copeland often uses :)
yooo really really good, good job!!
Nice job! Stew admitted that he added another track for the cymbal bell in the third verse, but you did it all by yourself without overdubbing. Nice!
Thank you! Yeah, I decided to challenge myself and do it without overdubs.
wow, it seems to hear stewart
A spotless cover!!!
Man oh man...I watched it a couple of times.
Gratz. Great feel and sound.
AWESOME
Thank you so much!!
@@adamliljedahldrums9882 no...thank you :-)

Well done man that was bang on
