The Police Truth Hits Everybody (drums by Jouxplan)

[grotesquegoth7]

You are covering the 11th most amazing drummer in the world according to Rolling Stone magazine.... personally he is my favorite in the world anyway....GREAT JOB! <3

[menswear2112]

You are one of my favorite drummer on Youtube.

[jouxplan]

@menswear2112 I am humbled! Thank you!

[leconnarddu34]

verry niceeeeeeeeeee

[fig8slomo]

WHEN ROBOT PIGS FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jouxplan]

Er, which bit are you referring to?

[JVanC4tania]

hey can you play "Next to you - The police"??... i want to learn it

[jouxplan]

Not one I have ever really studied much - it's quite tough, that's for sure.

Anyways - I'm sure you could learn it yourself without having to watch me playing it?!! That's cheating that is!!!!

People keep asking me to do 'No Time This Time', which I am fairly sure I CANNOT do, so I might try Next To You instead, which is a little easier :-)

[dRaK0RaMone]

better plat the live version, it is more cool but uours is cool too

Cheers

[bds1167]

Kick ass playing!!!! Stew Copeland is a god!!!!

[jouxplan]

Hey, cheers!

And yes, Mr. Copeland is a God!

[bds1167]

Best Police song, hands down!!! Great choice!

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

Great playing!

[sandiego032006]

i like your garden behind you.

[jouxplan]

Damn it all LOL! I killed myself trying to play this, and you comment on my garden :-)

Anyway, thank you very much!!

[NERDZKANDY]

you remind me of Mister Bean, lol. good drumming btw. I can never get this song right.

[leonkennedy52]

what type of kit is it?

[jouxplan]

It's a 1986 Pearl Export 5 pc, which I got when I was a student, with money I did not have! I added the 8 and 10" toms a few years ago, and changed the snare to a Chad Smith Signature. Lots of zildjians and some dw pedals and hi-hat.

:-)

[SomethingAlan]

That was amazing!

[wvd1979]

I like this tempo from the original recording. When I saw The Police in concert, they seemed to have slowed this song down a little bit.

[Classdrummer95]

what sticks are u using

[jouxplan]

Flix Sticks. They are made in Scotland. Get them off an Ebay shop is the easiest thing.

[thewish4]

peart uses the same tubulars in closer to the heart?but he had much more time and yes i think stu hit them on that extra 8th you improvise, when i thought it was a hi hat synth attatchment you were using (is there such a thing?),there is time to hit those bells ,isnt there?ding/2.3.4/dong2.3.4,you do hear the different notes...you are a drummers teacher.thx

[jouxplan]

Yes, I think you are right about Mr Peart. He uses them beautifully on sevral songs.

I suspect Stewart dubbed 'em on top, but that is not to say he could not have played it in the way you suggest - lets face it, the guy was more than capable of playing the bells at the same time!

If I had some bells, it certianly would be fun to try and play it as you suggest - I think it would be possible.

Don't know much about synth attachments (actually, I know nothing about 'em!)

Cheers!

[thewish4]

outstanding man!!!!i was wondering ,are the dong sounds tubular bells?,i played them in high school,in turn learned glockinspiel.i hear you create the sound ,is that a synth on your hat?what did stuart use? thx

[jouxplan]

Hello, and thank you!

I guess they are tubular bells on the original, but I don't actually know. Perhaps someone else can answer for me? I love the sound they make - they really work brilliantly on this song!

I have not actually re-created the sound at all - my hi hat is 'normal' and accoustic. I guess you can still hear Copeland's bells over my recording, is all! All I do is splash my slightly open hats in quarter notes and with some extra eighths thrown in for good measure!

:-)

[buknoy101482]

hello there...I've been watching all your police covers and I really like all of them especially truth hurts everybody and one world.I can see how very particular and a perfectionist you are on playing your covers.I just have a couple of requests.Can you cover Driven to Tears or Spirits in a Material World. They're two of my favorite all time Police songs and I'm also trying to play them on bass guitar and I would love to see what you can do with those songs. Cheers mate!

[jouxplan]

Hi, and thank you very much!

If you look at my channel page, you will see that I have listed all future covers that I intend to post - and you will be especially pleased to see that Driven To Tears is on the list! You are not the first person to ask for it!

Spirits is not one I had thought to do, but I could certainly have a look at it.

Cheers!

[cokelalo]

i waiting for ¨voices inside my head

[jouxplan]

Ooooofffff! Yeah, I am thinking about doing it, but it is really, really tough to get the groove, and I am not at all sure that I can do it well enough to post on here! I got a kicking from my attempt at Reggatta De Blanc, so I dread to think what will hapeen if I ever get around to posting Voices!

:-)

[thenxtbgthng]

good stuff man! can you do next to you?

[jouxplan]

Cheers!

Hmmmmmmm. Maybe! But that is pretty fast too! I found this Truth Hits cover very hard - it is not really my style of drumming, so I was outside my comfort zone already (which is a godd thing to do!).

I will think about it!

[bensonagdgdgwngo]

there's not many drummers in existence who can player No Time this Time properly - i'm not even sure Copeland himself could do it now.

[thenxtbgthng]

does it make it easier to play when it is a song or band you really like?

[jouxplan]

Definately! If you love the song, then you can almost picture how it goes, making it easier to try and copy. I would struggle with all these covers, especially the long and complex Genesis ones, if I did not actually like the music!

[chipiekkl]

very nice play

I'm waiting of " no time this time"

[jouxplan]

No way! I can't do 'No Time This Time'!!! Its WAY fast!!!! And the end - it just makes me orgasm every time I hear it! Copeland plays it so crisply, so controlled, so tight and so fluidly, it is just an awesome piece of drumming.

I would not dare to try and cover it!

:-)

[TheLegioniare]

Your sticks are awesome :D

[jteezy89]

You play in a blues band? yeah thats way more mellow than this. you covered this very well though. Rock bands are always looking for drummers, i bet haha. I'm trying to assemble a rock band over here in California. Everyone wants to be a guitarist here since that damn video game came out, so i'll be hard pressed to find a drummer and a bassist myself lol

[piemasta64]

sweet kit man, and nice playing. are you or have you considered being in a band? i'm in one, but we just started about a month ago.

[jouxplan]

Thank you and thank you.

I am in a band, yes. It's a Blues band, which means I play slightly more subtle stuff then I post here on YouTube!

Best of luck with your band!

[piemasta64]

thanks. we might have practice this week. i play lead guitar, but i can also play bass, drums, and many other instruments.

[cateca9]

Esta muito  bom!!!

[jouxplan]

Portugese for 'this very good!'

Thank you!

[cateca9]

Gostei muito!!!!

Toca perfeito,se calhar toca melhor que profissionais.I´m portuguse.Traduction(I enjoyed very!!playing maybe btter than profissonals!!Where do you live?

[cateca9]

I play the guitar.

[jouxplan]

Thank you, again!

You are very kind, but I am not that good! For me, it is just a hobby! I live in the middle of England, a long way from Portugal!

[cateca9]

Givme the your email please.

[jouxplan]

Hello - sorry, I forgot to reply to this. You can send me messages via YouTube 'send message to jouxplan' and we can chat like that, if you like.

I don't like to give out my personal email on here - no offense!

:-)

[Yyrkoonyyrkoon]

You've got a nice garden mate :D, about as nice to see as you to listen to =)

Heil from France

[jouxplan]

That's very kind of you, thanks!

I have just moved house, so garden will change, but view from drums will still be good and green!

[Jeffmonicon]

ok my bad...i just requested you play this song (from your "every little thing she does" page) and here it was already posted.

thanks. joux da man!

[jouxplan]

sorted!!!!

[Jeffmonicon]

i like you, joux man! you seem like my kind of people.

[jouxplan]

'joux da man!' - that's really very funny!

You seem like my kind of people too :-)

[cianclan]

you did a great job!

[ThePoliceRocks]

to volendos2:

I consider Stewart Copeland a better drummer than Phil Collins - and I like them both..

Yet another good performance! Like the fact that you use (like Stewart Copeland) the Splash.. I personally think that he took the use of Splashes etc. to a whole new level..

Like this song a lot -- wouldn't happen to know where I could find the drum part?

[jouxplan]

Thank you!

I agree with you re Stewart and his use of splashes.

Drum part - sorry no. I learned it by ear. Maybe someone else knows?

[Fymious]

The drums for this song is very intense...good job with it and keep playing!

[ricardo0123]

good imitation!! great job

[udrivemeupthewall]

How about doing "Driven' to Tears" by the Police?

[jouxplan]

Hello. Yeah, I could do it at some point if you like - I have not really studied this one before! It's got a great drum part, certainly! Let me get through the rest of my list first.

Hope you enjoyed Truth Hits?

[volendos2]

Im not really a fan of the police you know im a genesis fan but that was still some great drumming.
