Copeland was as important as Sting’s vocals. He really is one of the best drummers of all time.

@justaroundthecorner28837 ай бұрын
The riff on the record starts at concert pitch Dflat ( on fourth fret) and its just a semi tone jump from there to second part of it ( in Amajor 5th fret), you,ll then have a full 3 fret slide down from there to Bmajor ( second fret) and then up ( on same fret) to F sharp. I,ve played the riff live at every type of gig on and off for 40 years, and people never get sick of hearing it. @@ash_530i

Not enough "thumbs-up" for that statement. I agree 100%. I've always believed that and always will. So many people automatically default to Sting as the be-all end-all of The Police, but if you listen to each member's songwriting contributions to The Police, then listen to each member's solo work away from The Police, it's quickly apparent The Police's trademark sound--and I'm not talking about just drums; I'm talking drums, guitar, *and* bass (Stewart can play all three instruments expertly, plus many more)--originated completely from Stewart. Of course, Andy Summers is a tremendously gifted guitarist with his own fantastic style--a very warm, jazzy style; however, his immediately identifiable guitar style and tone with The Police was largely an imitation of Stewart's guitar playing. And Sting? Well, to me, he's more or less the lyricist and bass player/lead singer in Stewart's band.
@JoelDTerry7 жыл бұрын

The thing is, they actually likely still do, but it's just that the world has obviously heavily changed ever since the late twentieth century and this century's first decade. Now we are to the point where we have to struggle and dig deep to find genuinely talented/good/original!/interesting music just like that of the previous decades, because "everyone" does music nowadays, and there are now so many different genres, and I'm under the impression that there's also some sort of disinterest about music now compared to before, where great bands and solo artists that were active back then and who were basically all mainstream were already achieving mass success and becoming iconic in their own right, and for very good reasons too, and they still are today. Now music just sounds great at best, but doesn't really sound like it has the potential to become timeless and iconic just like the older songs that still are to this day, and I think that's mainly because many other artists and bands from nowadays who could pretend to such a status are somehow being overwhelmed by the more mainstream plain stuff, almost relegated to some sort of underground/private status. Seems like some sort of cultural thing, with the advance of technology, social media and streaming platforms and all... Now there might be a few exceptions to that, like maybe The Week-End, whom my mother knows about (yeah I have a tendency to measure an artist/band's actual renown/fame through the knowledge of my parents about them, I know it doesn't necessarily work like that lol).

The Police were incredible because they were one of those rare bands where, at every instrument and in every member, they were each exceptionally gifted. Really, there is a VERY short list of bands in which EVERY every member was so talented. AND the music they made was exceptional - it REALLY holds up - and it transcended typical pop standards astoundingly. How many other bands so seamlessly blended rock, reggae, blues, pop, and jazz. How cool how different their records are, how they evolved, musically, as songwriters. Thing is, someone - often the singer / this case sting - becomes the focal point, the star. People so individually talented don't want their output and creativity to be diluted. They want THEIR specific vision for songs and music to go forward. In a band, there can't be multiple individualists, each having their own way. So, this is why it is rare for a band to hang together for decades - like the Stones or U2. This only works if individuals within are satisfied that their output is recognized, or they are fine with whatever is accepted by the entire band. But talents with ambition quickly grow disillusioned if their talent or genius feels slighted or not allowed to shine, have reasonable attention. Truth be told, The Police ended things JUST right - before they lost total respect for each other, and before being dragged down into the morass of the fickleness of popular musical tastes and record company stupidity. Which is why they were able to briefly re-unite so successfully. They all had to set free, so as to mature and individually prosper their talents.

Stu Copeland is up there with the best to ever sit behind a kit. His wrists are so strong that it makes me think he has extra muscles and titanium steel oiled and warm in them. He is a lefty playing right handed. I think that is why he hits that snare, it sounds like a friggin gunshot. As a guitarist of 40+ yrs., I wish I pated more attention to early police tunes. Ghost in the Machine was their last good album imho. What a trio! Rush and Cream be damned. The only other tro that has that much talent is ZZ Top as far as I am concerned. At least that is what comes to mind for me right now. ELP just popped in my mind as well. Pure originality and professionalism on that stage.

Copeland was as important as Sting’s vocals. He really is one of the best drummers of all time.
definitely!
the 3 togheters... WOW...
The only contemporary drummer who comes close is Vinnie Colaiuta.
Damn Skippy!!!!!!!!
Bonham, Peart, and Copeland... The holy trinity...
Props to Andy. Playing that riff so cleanly for the duration of the song is impressive. It’s harder to play than it sounds
Yeah I'm starting to try learn it atm as my first more advanced riff. It's quite an awkward stretch for the fingers & you need to change positions quickly!
It´s a stretch, very good exercise for the fingers
Exactly. An exhausting riff to get right every time.
The riff on the record starts at concert pitch Dflat ( on fourth fret) and its just a semi tone jump from there to second part of it ( in Amajor 5th fret), you,ll then have a full 3 fret slide down from there to Bmajor ( second fret) and then up ( on same fret) to F sharp. I,ve played the riff live at every type of gig on and off for 40 years, and people never get sick of hearing it. @@ash_530i
p.s. Yes the riff played properly is an awkward 5 fret stretch from start to finish, once you,ve practised it to death and put your digits in spasms and cramps in the process it is worth it though. @@ash_530i
Stewart Copeland puts 110% into the drums every time as does Sting and Andy
Ppp0000pppp000pp0000pppp0p00ppp0000p0pp000pp Q Ñ Ñ
This is my first time watching a live performance of the Police, and I never knew he played with traditional grip. Any other mainstream pop/rock bands with a traditional grip player?

31lafouine Neil Peart is the greatest if you ask me, but Copeland is right up there. I would love to see those two on the same stage. Copeland is scary good.
I prefer Copeland. I think his precision is a tiny bit superior to Peart (on the fast hi-hat for example). And his choice of drums his perfect, the plus that he gives to Police songs is, to me, unmatchable
31lafouine Either way, it's a hell of a good choice. :) Thumbs up.

Just a bass, a Guitar, a drummer and a lot of talent.

And Sting's bass pedals on the floor
Indeed and Emerson, Lake and Palmer. There are a lot of great trios out there.
Hell ya
ANDY SUMMERS!!! everyone’s talking about sting and copeland who are legends in their own right but the way summers is able to fill up the space and pull the whole sound together is just as important as what the other two guys are doing - remember, for a three piece band to ever sound as massive as the police do, all three members need to play their instruments larger than life itself, which summers handily does in my opinion
Took the words right out of my mouth. Thank you!👊
Sugar coated Andy plays like a Yankee Doodle Dandy!!! No Andy no Police!
absolument vrai ; Andy est extra et le groupe stupéfiant. merci.
Andy Summers + Sting (Gordon Sumner) + Steward Copeland = The Police. Not only 1 or 2 but all of them together, doesn't matter they are successful even in their own projects.
@@DavisReed218 Please put me down for that as well. Andy never gets the credit he deserves for being on that level.
As a drummer I absolutely love Stewart’s snare drum. The high tune cuts and gives all the Police songs uniqueness.
And the other two tried to curb his virtuosity and creativity and just play "normal"! Jealous - I imagine. He was showing them up!
is he using a picolo snare?
Yeah!I also adore his power. He manages to be precise and tasteful, but also very powerful. Much more than just hitting the drums hard, it's a crazy amount of control.
Fucking oath, so original, awesome hi hat work, I’ve always thought that 👍
And the near cocktail kit kick drum
I've heard this song played live many, many times. This is definitely one of the best renditions I've heard ever. The entire band was on fire.
Absolutely, if only the audience was, too. Stings voice is brilliant.
Agreed, I think Copeland makes a huge difference in the total sound. I've heard other bands do ok with the bass and guitar, but never a drummer who could nail this
Summers intro was BADASS

I'm an old baby boomer who took my Gen-Y kids to see Police live in Brisbane a few years back. And my son (who was about 14 at the time) loved the show and couldn't get over how three guys could hold a show in their hands the way Police ie, 3 guys did. Nuff said. xxxx

Still giving me chills everytime i see this video. All that sounds coming from only 3 person. Absolute legends.
3 people*
nirvana was also 3 people
3 mature musicians who really mastered the live creation of a "wall of sound" As much as I respect Sting's decision to go solo more often than not (and he also gets the good ones like Vinnie, Manu, Miller, McBride, Morelenbaum etc.), I still prefer the Police "wall of sound", Andy's eerie guitar against Sting's grooving bass punctuated by Stu's frantic snares and hats.
RUSH too…
ZZ TOP ,Cream And Jimmy Hendrix also 3 people
You can see the focus, intensity, and intelligence in Stewart's eyes. As much as he and Andy resent Sting's ego and past transgressions, they compliment each other sooo well musically on stage. Like Rush, Led Zeppelin, etc. you couldn't replace a member of The Police and it be the same.

Voices don't age lol

Stewart Copeland was always the heart and soul of The Police. Period!
Not enough "thumbs-up" for that statement. I agree 100%. I've always believed that and always will. So many people automatically default to Sting as the be-all end-all of The Police, but if you listen to each member's songwriting contributions to The Police, then listen to each member's solo work away from The Police, it's quickly apparent The Police's trademark sound--and I'm not talking about just drums; I'm talking drums, guitar, *and* bass (Stewart can play all three instruments expertly, plus many more)--originated completely from Stewart. Of course, Andy Summers is a tremendously gifted guitarist with his own fantastic style--a very warm, jazzy style; however, his immediately identifiable guitar style and tone with The Police was largely an imitation of Stewart's guitar playing. And Sting? Well, to me, he's more or less the lyricist and bass player/lead singer in Stewart's band.
if you listen to each member's songwriting contributions to The Police, then listen to each member's solo work away from The Police, it's quickly apparent The Police's trademark sound, and all the musical talent, belongs to Sting. Copeland IS a great drummer, though.
Copeland separates this group from all their contemporaries. After 6 live concerts ranging from 1500 to 50 000 venue I can attest to that.
Summers is incredible too neither get enough credit
Completely agree. Even if I'm a drummer, few people understand Robert Fripp and Summers way of playing. Andy poured of Fripp way of playing, they had albums altogether when The Police was altogether, and this are big words.
Hey kids……this other worldly sound you’re hearing is coming from the instruments of 3 people. Yes…..3 people. No rhythm guitar. No keys. No backup singers. NO AUTOTUNE. I count my blessings each day that I was able to grow up with actual artists that perfected their craft. This is incredible
They prefer autotune, they aren't listening to this.
Copeland is a Drum MACHINE!!!! STAGGERING talent!
God damn Stewart copeland is a fucking machine
Yes. He is a god Damn fucking machine. Being tall is a definite blessing. He rules that set. That groove. For me, I would like to hear a lower sounding snare and longer crash cymbal delays though. His hats cut nicely though, as does his kick
@@dougzander4959the master knows whats best, who are you to say it should be this or that? Sit down.

It's fairly modern sounding and somewhat challenging to play.
The_Alpha_Fox kzhead.info/sun/ictmmtBvjKZrfZs/bejne.html
Yeah and on a long scale Strat as opposed to a shorter scaled 335 or a Les Paul.
If The Police had any other drummer not named Stewart Copeland, they’re just another good trio-but his drumming-the fills, the spaces, the backbeat-makes all the damn difference and gives the band its massive sound with an almost frenetic force driving the songs forward.
True! (I'm a drummer)..BUT Sting is an incredible songwriter! Wait..Andy is phenomenal on guitar.
Nobody plays like Stewart Copeland. He was Neil Peart's favorite drummer for a reason.
Wow. That’s high praise. Deservedly so.
The sound of Copeland's drums, especially that ride cymbal just makes me smile for days.
that snare tho...

lamalordddd Hate to say it, but, I thought Copeland was actually the weakest link during the reunion tour.
Based on what?
Just 3 guys, their equipment, and no auto tune in sight, just pure talent and energy. They don't make bands like this anymore, and if they do, its a rare occasion.
Oxymoron?
Look up the great rock band "Kensington", amazing sound with 3 guys as well
The thing is, they actually likely still do, but it's just that the world has obviously heavily changed ever since the late twentieth century and this century's first decade. Now we are to the point where we have to struggle and dig deep to find genuinely talented/good/original!/interesting music just like that of the previous decades, because "everyone" does music nowadays, and there are now so many different genres, and I'm under the impression that there's also some sort of disinterest about music now compared to before, where great bands and solo artists that were active back then and who were basically all mainstream were already achieving mass success and becoming iconic in their own right, and for very good reasons too, and they still are today. Now music just sounds great at best, but doesn't really sound like it has the potential to become timeless and iconic just like the older songs that still are to this day, and I think that's mainly because many other artists and bands from nowadays who could pretend to such a status are somehow being overwhelmed by the more mainstream plain stuff, almost relegated to some sort of underground/private status. Seems like some sort of cultural thing, with the advance of technology, social media and streaming platforms and all... Now there might be a few exceptions to that, like maybe The Week-End, whom my mother knows about (yeah I have a tendency to measure an artist/band's actual renown/fame through the knowledge of my parents about them, I know it doesn't necessarily work like that lol).
Greta Van Fleet. Rock talent is still among us
Copeland is the best part. Love his drumming.
The way Stewart Copeland handles the left stick cannot be cooler...
Well it's known as Traditional Grip and it does originate from Jazz after all ;)
Richard Retro Vazquez actually originates from marching drummers because match grip wasn’t practical and then used by jazz drummers on the kit
The syncopation and upbeat accents in a niche of their own!
He actually has an even more unique way of holding the left stick than almost any other drummer.He uses a form of traditional grip but regular traditional grip is with two fingers over the stick and two under. He has just one finger over and three under which actually feels really awkward to most drummers but it works great for him!😊👍🏻
bro it’s literally traditional grip
what a drummer.. amazing.

One of the greatest fillers of space with a guitar. He truly is/was the missing piece for this band. Having someone’s chops like him on the guitar helped pave the way for their catalog to be what it was.
Andy Summers is underrated by absolutely NOBODY who knows anything about music.
The absolute peak of mastery for the trio. Sharp, polished.
Always preferred Sting's work with the Police to anything he did solo
I recently revisited Ten Summoner's Tales and I gotta say there's a lot of brilliant stuff on it. It doesn't hit as hard as The Police, but it's really great imho.
oh I don't know, fields of gold and Englishman in new york are high competitors, but otherwise, absolutely.
Yep. I wouldn't trade a single Police song for his entire solo discography
I liked copeland's solo works, mainly because he wrote the Spyro Soundtrack, and it was amazing.
The Police were incredible because they were one of those rare bands where, at every instrument and in every member, they were each exceptionally gifted. Really, there is a VERY short list of bands in which EVERY every member was so talented. AND the music they made was exceptional - it REALLY holds up - and it transcended typical pop standards astoundingly. How many other bands so seamlessly blended rock, reggae, blues, pop, and jazz. How cool how different their records are, how they evolved, musically, as songwriters. Thing is, someone - often the singer / this case sting - becomes the focal point, the star. People so individually talented don't want their output and creativity to be diluted. They want THEIR specific vision for songs and music to go forward. In a band, there can't be multiple individualists, each having their own way. So, this is why it is rare for a band to hang together for decades - like the Stones or U2. This only works if individuals within are satisfied that their output is recognized, or they are fine with whatever is accepted by the entire band. But talents with ambition quickly grow disillusioned if their talent or genius feels slighted or not allowed to shine, have reasonable attention. Truth be told, The Police ended things JUST right - before they lost total respect for each other, and before being dragged down into the morass of the fickleness of popular musical tastes and record company stupidity. Which is why they were able to briefly re-unite so successfully. They all had to set free, so as to mature and individually prosper their talents.
The Eagles were also one of those....
Beverly Wümmeland Led Zep, The Who, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream.. there is plenty of bands like that
Ezio Auditore RUSH another trio of truly talented people
Too many great bands even before Police can make the same claim. Cream, Rush, Jimi Hendrix Experience, all had amazing drummers, bassists, and guitarists as a 3 piece band. Not to take away from The Police of course.

Certainly one of those drummers that mere mortals like me just can't emulate; he is always on the front edge of the beat, which is tough to do for a number of reasons, and which works perfectly to create the driving and seemingly frenetic sound of The Police.

Good call. Front edge of the beat but still grooves.

stewart copeland is one of my fav drummer
I'm so glad that the band was able to reunite to bring us Copeland on modern drums. His intensity and endurance cannot be overstated. You cannot accurately describe in words how amazing this guy is. His abilities are beyond human comprehension, outside of witnessing it for yourself.
Stu Copeland is up there with the best to ever sit behind a kit. His wrists are so strong that it makes me think he has extra muscles and titanium steel oiled and warm in them. He is a lefty playing right handed. I think that is why he hits that snare, it sounds like a friggin gunshot. As a guitarist of 40+ yrs., I wish I pated more attention to early police tunes. Ghost in the Machine was their last good album imho. What a trio! Rush and Cream be damned. The only other tro that has that much talent is ZZ Top as far as I am concerned. At least that is what comes to mind for me right now. ELP just popped in my mind as well. Pure originality and professionalism on that stage.

manualLaborer dont forget neil peart geddy lee and alex lifeson of rush!
+A Ar - indeed, in the studio.
Oneida Wolf You beat me to it! I was going to mention Rush.
And Nirvana as well.
Jimi Hendrix Experience too :)
3人の天才が作った名曲、30年後でも演奏できている、これまでの努力に感銘を頂く
SC is rocking the drums on a very quick tempo for their age. He's flying on the drums. Much respect!
I come back to this once every while, the fact that all this sound comes from just 3 people still amazes me
No wonder Stewart kept skinny all these years...what a workout! HE ROCKS!
Police debe estar entre los 10 mejores grupos de la historia de la música.
Doesn't get any better than this, great job friends.
Sting looks like hes truly loving this reunion thing - nice man!!!!
Stewart Copeland has to one of the best drummers ever, amazing
Copeland's heart is an atomic clock
I do not get tired of this song! A great classic!
I saw these guys in July, '07 at Fenway Park on their reunion tour. My first concert. I was 11 years old, and it fucking changed my life. Had a newspaper route that I did, and I paid for the tickets entirely with my tip money. Never before had I experienced such energy and volume before. It was stellar. I'll never forget that show.
Hah cool story 👍 I also saw them as my first concert at 11 years old. But that was in 1983 in Denmark 😎 Super loud but great experience 📢🎶
Dude I’m one year older than u. So jealous that you got to see them on the last tour !
You witnessed something legendary! That memory is worth a thousand times over. I'm in awe seeing them through the screen, I can't even fathom how it must be live!
That is awesome. You’ll never forget that for your whole life.
Stewart Copeland
Every member of that three-piece made that band the BAND!!! Stewart’s energized playing kept a simple song moving. Just a fabulous band!
Incredible how much sound these 3 put out. Got to be up there with Rush as the greatest trios ever.
Cream and Jimi Hendrix Experience too
Saw them in Dallas a long time ago. Stewart was amazing!!! His drums were mic'd perfectly. I was just stunned! So glad I got a chance to see them.
This was the best time for the Police. Sting in top form 🔥
Copeland è il direttore e il motore, il generatore del trio.
Those ninths played by Andy Summers are simply Genius ! Love it ! One of my fvorite Pop Rock tunes of all time ! ...
I have a lot of appreciation for Stewart Copeland he makes the band what it is. The sound and technological thought he did for his part is astonishing
I love this drummer
Three supremely talented musicians
The police are one of those 80s bands that don't sounds cheesy. They sound full and unique. If I grew up then I would be blasting their music
I did! Still love them and in my 50's now!
@@just-sayin67 EVERYDAY!!! Them and Journey are my two favorite groups. I miss the 80’s.
Andy Summers always rolls into the song like a Pro. No Andy, No Police!
Try playing that riff thru the whole song, fuking brutal, gotta hand it to Andy Summers brilliant playing skills.
Hugely inspirational guitar part from Andy Summers. Have heard many other pro's quote it as a very innovative riff of it's time. Phil Collen from Def Leppard is one of those pro's mentioned.
I'm really surprised how good sting sounds.. He's really a good singer..... Some other ageing rock stars don't sound half as good
It’s amazing how a three piece sounds so massive, these guys are amazing. Each and every single one of them are amazingly talented
Bientôt sur Montpellier en France !! 😍😍😍
Hands down, the drums make this song. So much sound and feeling coming from out of that kit. With that said, for a 3 piece band to push out that much sound is incredible
Three guys filling the air with magic. Timeless.
Just a castaway An island lost at sea Another lonely day With no one here but me More loneliness Than any man could bear Rescue me before I fall into despair I'll send an SOS to the world I hope that someone gets my Message in a bottle A year has passed since I wrote my note But I should have known this right from the start Only hope can keep me together Love can mend your life But love can break your heart I'll send an SOS to the world I hope that someone gets my Message in a bottle Walked out this morning Don't believe what I saw A hundred billion bottles Washed up on the shore Seems I'm not alone at being alone A hundred billion castaways Looking for a home I'll send an SOS to the world I hope that someone gets my Message in a bottle
