Words cannot describe the gratitude I feel towards Stewart Copeland. The soundtrack he created for the Spyro trilogy is not only timeless but also incomparable. As a child, I used to play these games and I still play them due to the memories I connect with them. Thank you, Mr. Copeland!
Seems like a very gracious, good guy but I can also see how he and Sting may have clashed (if believing what is written). I, personally, enjoy the company of guys like Stewart 'cause I'm the complete opposite - they 'bring me out'. Imagine being stuck in an elevator with Stewart and Robin Williams, though....whoa.
I am loving this guy more and more! Stewart is just the coolest guy. He's so animated and cheerful, happily showing his music room. I'm seeing a 16-year-old spirit in 60-year-old body. ☺️☺️☺️☺️And I love how Stewart refers to his father's trumpet, "my daddy's trumpet", not "my dad's", not "my father's". That's so sweet.His daddy would be so proud of him. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ God bless you, Stewart! Rock on, brother!!
One of the finest percussionists alive today, a true master, fast, accurate and so versatile. The room is indicative of what's churning in the beatbox brain of his, a museum of his talent. If my son can play anywhere near this man, I'll die with a great fat smile on my face.
Thank you Mr. Copeland for sharing your musical playground with the world. As a musician I am in awe and would love to play with all the instruments too!
I put this guys telephone in his house back in the 90's near High Wycombe he was pretty cool and just a normal dude I also got a coffee! .His next door neighbour (if you call 300 meters away neighbour) was Ian Anderson where I also installed a fax machine ,Mr. Anderson was also a gentleman !
Love him or hate him, he is a musical genius. Copeland is to The Police as Peart is to Rush or Lombardo is to Slayer. Wouldn't be the same without them.
I can tell you from personal experience on the So Cal studio scene that Stewart doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He's just a thorough task master who is also so much fun to be around. And while The Police were a British band, Stewart is American. And as with Sting, Americans love nothing more than to deflate British pomposity (since 1776) and take them down the ego ladder a few steps. And that's what Stewart always did to Sting. And despite all that hype, they're still best friends.
patton303 sting and Stewart are most definitely not friends. They could barely stand one another back in the 80s and they barely made it through the recent tour they did.
That was ace. Stewart is a nutter, but in a good way. I reckon you'd have a hard time keeping up with the guy because he seems to go in a hundred directions at once. It'd be a laugh a minute though.
I don't try nothing because I KNOW that I will get hooked. But I think I should start to smoke pot to cure insomnia and social anxiety, although the paranoia can make you even more prone to panic attacks? God damn why does it have to be so complicated....
Negative comments? REALLY? Stewart Copeland is an awesome drummer, awesome percussionist and seems to me to be a great guy. Been following his work since 70s and his later Rhythmatist era. Go and have a listen to ONE WORLD (not three) from Ghost In The Machine. His feel, and cool fills are EPIC. And for having to put up with the ego bullshit of Gordon 'Sting' Sumner'....he deserves a medal. Stewart was The Police founder member. Brilliant drummer. (Man, I would LOVE to spend a few hours in this place with the percussive stuff. What a room. To all the naysayers....I'd say, if you appreciate the true form of musical instruments, the history, the design and workmanship, the distinctive sounds, how in the hell could you be negative about this? I was smiling all the way through it) Meh
The grove is MAGICAL, and I wanna come play. OMG. all those amazing instruments and their history. Love the story about his Dad. Choke up time. Amps for the Hard of hearing, LMFAO. That incredible Drum kit. Drool. I am so going to EBAY to check out stuff now. AWESOME!! Thanks for these videos. STEWART.
lol it's funny. Sting tries to have this big celebrity vibe about him. But Stewart is just a regular dude like any of my guy friends. He doesn't even seem like a multi-millionaire at all
Stewart Copeland’s like a schoolboy playing with his toys! His enthusiasm & character is like he’s still on stage playing with the police! Great guy! I used to practice my air drumming listening to my police cassette’s all those years ago in the early 80, then execute them when I used to play for a church band!
4:41 "Tell me about this trumpet" "Oh this trumpet over here, this is my daddys trumpet" Pulls out a completely different trumpet out of his pocket. Gotta love Stewart. Lol 😂😂
Holy cow. My grandfather had a Hammond C3 that he taught himself to play on. Same thing starting up. You didn’t just turn it on. Oh the memories hearing that organ...
I used to think that if I could ever be someone else I would be Stewart Copeland. His family background is intriguing, where he grew up all the places he went to, where he went to school, life before the police and then after the police, being talented, being rich, read his biography. Yeah It’s good to be Stewart Copeland. And oh yeah almost forgot, he made the documentary ‘Everyone Stares’ with a super 8 camera documenting the police tour in the early 1980s. Damn cool! How many musicians can claim making their own documentary?
Say whatever but Stewart was and is one third of the Police!! The great band from my youth!! There is no Fan alive who didn't tap their foot, toe, hands to this guys' drums!
Stewart Copeland's music sounds like nothing else. Trully unique! His stuff from the 80's sounds like a postmodern Gershwin. Hope there were more of his records arround.
Wow I would love to hang with this guy!! It's so great to see a successful professional musician who still gets that initial kick and love for music that you get from the start.
You needn’t speak, sir. You, Mr. Stewart Copeland, are one of the all-time greats, a drummer with extraordinary chops, one of the best skin slappers that ever has been. Thank you, sir, for your impeccable work. Seriously. Wow, as in “I just heard Stewart Copeland play drums. Fookin’ WOW!”
