Drum Teacher Reacts to Stewart Copeland - Drum Solo 

Damn who doesn't love the sound of Stewart's snare?! That has always been such a tight sound!!!

I worked that show with Stewart . I now own the whole setup . On the day Stewart used all my hardware snare and double pedal 😇🙏🏼🥁

Stewart Copeland is in my top 5 all time favorite drummers. I think that he's amazing.

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.

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...

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!

The piece they're playing straight of the album Letterman was promoting for Stewart is called "Birds of Prey".

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.

Great channel man, really appreciate your analysis!

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 Drumming is pure Stewart Copland. It may just be me, but I hear a certain Zappa influence in the orchestral composition.

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

Copeland has always been one of my favorites. His drumming on Voices Inside My Head, One World, and Demolition Man are just sick.

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.

Copeland and Bruford are my favorites

I’m not a huge Police fan, but I’m a huge fan of all 3 as musicians 👍🏻

Bonus points for the Bruford photo on the wall behind. ❤️

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!!!!

Thanks Garey !

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.

That kit sounds awesome, gotta love Copeland

Copland grew up around Arabic rythms.

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 RU-vid.

Youthful exuberance! Most enjoyable.

Very well spoken, Sir

Big fan 👌 no more need to be said!!! Thanks again Ragu.

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

Sensational

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.

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!

stewart copeland easily top 10 drummers of all time great beutiful drummer

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.

On my list of all time favourite drummers. Stewart Copland is at number 2.

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.

hey dude can you react to A Ouzoulias, Pewee Desfray? COllins, Chester Thompson, Richard KOlinka, Manu Katché and Renaud Hantson and Damien Schmidt ?

Stewart Is im my top 5

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🤘✌️🎸🥁👌.

Please check out the Danny Carey drum cam from Vic Firth during the song Pneuma live! It's mind blowing!

2:46 you should listen to ghost in the machine, the drumming is phenomenal

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...

Hey Gary check out Yoyoka shes a 10 year old drummer from Japan!

danny carey pneuma live reaction?

I woule like to see you talk about Lenny White and Billy Cobham, Carl Palmer and Vinny Coliuta.

Check out his work on the original pilot of Babylon 5 amazing

You should react to the ‘Buddy Rich vs. Jerry Lewis’ drum battle. 😁

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 :)

spyro jazz. i can dig it

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?

Next episode check Han Bennink ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WWcr8a-8XO4.html

Manu Katche is a very musical sounding drummer-

Copeland gave me the PHYSICAL URGE to pick up sticks, it physically hurt me inside to stay put

react to "JD Beck" please!!!!!!

North Africa! Iirc it was more middle eastern rhythms than african dito that influenced Copeland at a young age.

I have the man for you Dave Disceno he’s my buddy rich

Hey, please react to *Mick Tucker* from *Sweet* . He was *LEGENDARY* !! This is *No You Don't* : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ndnidos5HRU.html

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!

4:22 Everyone has this tendency to want to go back and 'fix' things. Just ask George Lucas.

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 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aVDn-n3Xm7M.htmlsi=x5ofhQj6aThD9y3P

This isnt my pick for his drumming

Bad song to review

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 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.😒
