  • traditional grip too! nice, true Stewart fan!

  • CLASS MATE - WELL IMPRESSED

  • Congratulations, pal!

  • stewart copeland would be proud

  • NOT ENOUGH CYMBALS, THINK U NEED ANOTHER 12

  • why do you hold the left hand stick like that? idk why but it just pisses me off.

  • @MrToad321 it's called traditional grip smart one....

  • Good , it's the best band !!

  • You absolutely nailed it. I will watch this to help my own approach to this song.

  • Really enjoyed wayching you play! I'd love to post some videos as well and was wondering how you get the audio from the tunes you are playing into the video? Are you using a mixer? Any help you could give me would be great. Thanks and again...Great job!

    Ryno

  • this is hectik, man.

    but it would sound heaps better if you had proper drum mics.

  • i stole your centered moon gel idea. it works really well i recommend it to anyone struggling to get a pop out of their snare

  • did you play the high hat correctly in the beginning? this band is hard to cover on drums...i dont know just askin

  • UR PLAYING It wrong i give u credit your not bad drummer but your missing key drum parts

  • @crazydrummer816

    who cares

  • Wonderful... *_*

  • Nice, the bad sound of your drums doesn't matter cause the awesomeness of your technique and the awesomeness of the song makes it all gooood..=D

  • Stuart Copeland is a drum machine...and u sir did a great job...thanks for the post man...peace

  • love the traditional grip

  • Perfect! 

  • Me gusta

  • how come most americans hold the stick weirdly in their left hand

    nothing wrong with it but im english and me and most ppl i know who learnt to drum in england play palm downish in their left hand(im not sure if 'palm down' is the correct terminology)

  • Great cover, although I think you also cover Stewart's enthusiasm when you cover his playing haha. Naw man, you did your thing. I'm a bass player and I wouldn't have a problem jammin wit ya. Be easy.

  • Umm, not much to say here except wow, that was fantastic.

  • Brilliant!!!!!!

    It sounds a lot of the time as if you are doing one handed flams on the snare drum....really tight little drags. Is this correct? Great performance, adds to the original.

  • hey man excellent cover!

  • awesome!!

  • Your drumming is brilliant m8!!!!  I adore The Police...Keep making Police covers. You're a top drummer!

  • Outstanding!

  • Nice work on your Traditional Grip, how do you practice drumming so fast using it? I just started using it and still have trouble doing fast rolls...

  • Fantastic drumming, another good song to do is stings 7 days.tricky timing but Im sure it will be easy for you. More videos please. Loved them

  • Seamless. Flawless. [Pushes the SUBSCRIBE button]

  • this guy is the next Stewart Copeland

  • my favorite drummer ever. hes so creative

  • well if anything i nominate you for "Biggest God damn drum set EVER" award...

  • then he'll lose to neil peart or mike portnoy hands down lol, their kits are like houses

  • And they'd lose to Terry Bozzio- his kit is retarded huge!

    Thanks for the positive comments!

  • haha, they'd lose to him indeed, Bozzio has one of the sickest kits ever.

  • awesome...

  • I became 40 years old and was made to awake! Terrible!

  • wow man be proud, stewart copeland has created some of the most technical drum beats ever in my opinion, good job

  • Very nice. The accenting is the hardest part here and is excellent. Listening to you I see that it's really tough to get that tiny lift on the hi-hat Copeland uses to get the oh-so-subtle accents he does.

    Great job!

  • Man the accoustics in that room sucks, no offence

  • This guy can never compete with Copeland.

    No comparison.

  • neither can you, or 99.99% of the drummers currently alive... so why did you post that?

  • Good choice on your favourite band! I love the Police and they to, are my fave band!

    I love your kit and I would love a medium sized one with loads of cymbals so do you have any tips? However, me only being 14 and grade 5 money is always a bother :( !

    Well done! (P.S are you a fulltime drummer or what? If you aren't you should be!)

  • I was 14 with no money once! Just save! These drums are the low end Tama's from 94, I saved up forever for them and they've lasted through everything I've thrown at em for 15 years now! So buy something that's quality and it will take care of you. Cymbals- I've bought few used ones over the years, including the ride & hats that I play and have had them for almost 20 years now. Don't be afraid to go used so long as they're in great shape.

    I unfortunately do not play FT, doesn't pay the bills!

  • @specialanthony you SHOULD find a band and play fulltime, or get sponsored by Vic Firth or something. You got real skills. I've been playing for three years, and I can definitely say that you're an awesome drummer.

  • @koala381 Good News! I AM in a band now! (hence the lack of uploads...) Thanks for watching! More to come soon!!!

  • @specialanthony share somze of the stuff you're playing with the band ! :)

  • Awesome playing. Great to see you perform these songs. You are an amazing drummer. I am wondering, do you figure out the drum sections or you can get the tabs? If so, where? Thanks.

  • Thanks! I learn everything by ear, although I could read it, I've never used drum tabs to learn a song- sorry!

  • It's amazing i love the police and i love your drumming!!!!what's the ride?Thanks!!!

    POLICE=BEST BAND EVER

  • I agree!

    The ride is a 70's era 22" Zildjian A medium ride, nothing special. I bought it used and eventually took it to a metalshop to have them refinish it. Made it beautiful looking but it also completely changed the sound- got alot more glassy after that. It has a ton of wash and overtones but it's pretty versatile.

  • so sick

  • You could play in the Police, all u need are copelands octaband drums

  • superb job on this. awesome hi hat work, just like copeland. also a very interesting sticking style in your left hand, it almost seems you hold it more loose than a regular traditional grip? but once again great job. this vid inspired me to record my cover of this!

  • Thanks! It is looser I guess, never really noticed!

  • You play all of these Police songs extremely well. This one looks particularly fun to play.

  • Great

  • Stewart Copeland fanatic. Started lessons two years ago. what's a good kit for beginners? What exercise can I do for practicing 16th notes? Thanks in advanced! I hope to play "Deathwish" before I leave this earth!

  • Tama is a great kit for beginners- I'm still playing my Rockstar kit from the mid 90's- it's held up incredibly well! There are other kits that will be a little cheaper, but if you can get a set of Rockstar shells, you probably won't ever need anything more than that!

    16th notes- single stroke, double stroke rolls, and paradiddles are my favorite rudiments to practice speed and dexterity. :)

  • I'm delighted about your way to play drum! The best drummer (after stewart!!) I've ever heard on youtube!!

  • holy shit ur amazing. best I've seen . u can equal Copeland

  • Thank you, but there's no way I could equal Copeland! I did get to play a few songs with his bandmates tho... ;)

  • Nice hi-hat flourish at 1:12!!

    How long you been playing???

  • Thanks! I've been playing for 19 years now (which blows my mind). I haven't been active in a band for about 5 years though, just playing in my little drum closet when I can. :)

  • Off the hook, as usual!
