Awesome! I especially love the beginning...you even captured the reggae sound that influenced their early albums. (about 0:35-1:25 in this video). In the original, you can really hear it in the first verse.
I would have liked to see an original video instead of pics. The drummer does an outstanding job doing Copeland. I do not like this version of the song though. It reminds me of the boring version the Police did on tour.
I guess the only thing I noticed to be "off" was the drums. The guy is a fine drummer, no doubt about that, but to be a Police tribute band (having played Ringo in a Beatles tribute band myself) it seems like the drummer should try to copy Stewart's playing as closely as possible. He seems a bit too busy in my opinion.
Could you point out where you think he overplays? I'm a drummer and I'm working on a Police tribute band also. This drummer emulates Stewart's live playing on this precisely. Maybe you're not familiar with live Police recordings?
Bloody good tribute band man.. Sounds like to me and youve got the music style down pat mate. good job lads

My favorite Police song, performed excellently. The vocals really stand out to me, they resemble Sting's very well!

I've seen a few of your other videos, you have a great sound. Stings voice is very hard to emulate, but this sounds very close to the real thing.
