Police Soundcheck Copeland drums kit Jeff Seitz St Etienne

[Lastmanonearth]

overtones overtones overtones.

[robertk2007]

why is the 3rd tom by itself and not with the other 2 like in the 80's?

[imton13]

crystal clear cymbal !!

[aldopeer]

Jeff Seitz once even replaced Stewart, just before a gig, back in the eighties. Stewart suffered from acute food poisening, so Jeff Seitz took his place. But despite the fact that the lighting-crew kept the lights out above the drumkit, a lot of people recognised that it wasn't Stewart behind the kit.

@worldcitizenforever ur kidding...

[nuklear41]

I have this odd feeling that someone in this video is running from the law......don't ask why, I just do.

[uscg906]

Lucky bastard, He has gotten a front row seat to everything Police, ever since I was 15 and I'm 45 now. Very cool job!

[chanowan]

anyone out there have the single "only you" from the Brimstone and Treacle soundtrack? Seitz plays on it and I'd love to hear it again...been so long since I've heard it!

[patton303]

Yeah Jeff you better tighten the shit out of those wingnuts.... lmao!

[Tamaslammer]

Jeff Seitz is a very accomplished drummer as well.

And.. yup that sounds like Stew's rig alright.....  : D

[godzuki444]

I want that job .

[Coolbeansification]

Why is the bigger tom higher pitched

[cornfudgeycorn]

what are those elongated tube like toms on his left?

[jaurbach]

Those elongated tubes are called octobans.

[SuperDrummerJoe]

octobans

[SOLDOUTonweb]

Are octoban!

[mglacken0410]

Octobans

[MrRenealexis]

That hi-hats sounds so high pitched . What size would it be, 10", 12" maybe?

[yousaki17]

he uses 12" hats

[SuperDrummerJoe]

yeah 12 sigantures

[jandyb79]

The second tom is tuned higher than the first tom...that's weird.

[yeuthub]

@jandyb79

It's not, that's just because of the video's sound quality, the bigger tom has a high overtone which is is accentuated by the camera's mic.

[ZelenaBananaa]

@jandyb79 some drumers play like that... theres no rule for tunning a drum or seting it ;)

[jandyb79]

@ZelenaBananaa

Believe it or not there is a right and wrong way to tune and set up. In the event that the second drum was tuned higher, it would make very little sense - even to Stuart Copeland. If you are a professionally trained musician, you can then determine your technique and tuning style. But to deviate from the natural laws of sound and tuning is like playing all the wrong notes in a guitar riff...you can do it, but your sound and audience will suffer!

[ZelenaBananaa]

@jandyb79 not true...

[jandyb79]

@ZelenaBananaa Very true...I wouldn't say such things without 18 years of experience, a music minor and 10 years of private instructing to back it up. Look me up on Vic Firths website as a nationally recognized instructor or ask Stuart Copeland, Steve Smith, Chad Sexton, Dave Weckl, etc and they would say the same...I know because I've met half of these guys in clinics and watched them perform. If you keep yourself a student to learn then you will get much further my friend...

[kirkmach32]

No that's an overtone the cam mike can't catch the primary tone too well

[jeffreygodspeed]

There were no triggers used on the toms.

[larkydozer]

Yes.

Bizzare, eh?

[Chrisdrumz]

I like his green sparkle kit more.

[Slicko37]

LOL! 2 turntables and a microphone

[blica1]

i loved the fact that stewart kept his original tama midnight blue color for his kit..it looks awesome !!!

[wolfgar2]

Midnight blue color yes, but he's sporting the sparkles with it now which I think takes away from the previously very cool basic midnight blue color.

[Kobeownzu81]

poe poe colors

[PeartCopelandDrummr]

wicked drum set- his hh work is so precise

[tofee35]

Does SC really play 12" hi hats? Interesting

[concertsinfrance]

Yes Stewart''s playing a Paiste 12" micro-hihat prototype. I know nowbody who controls so precisely the openning of the hihat. So he need very precise cymbals but that's just incredible to play so little hihats for a so big audience...

[quackbeef]

@concertsinfrance its micing... plus stewart is a masterful drummer....

[gtronan]

wish i could soundcheck his drums

[alexeiissexy]

thats my godfather

[policeinparis]

No kidding ? If that's true, please thanks him for his incredible work on the sound of Stewart Copeland during this tour ! That video was a way to pay tribute to Jeff Seitz...

[jeffreygodspeed]

Thanks for posting it. Jeff Seitz
