The Police Every Little Thing She Does.. (drums by Jouxplan)

- Me trying again to drum like Stewart Copeland. The drum part is incredibly deceptive on this - it is not 'intuitive' when you try and copy it. I reckon this is one of the hardest Police songs to drum to, assuming you want to try and play Stewart's original part. Every verse and chorus and bridge is different, there are awkward ride bell accents, tricky hi-hat work (even by Stewart's standards), and the bass drum pattern coupled with the bell at 3'05 is very awkward. Apologies for the stray bass drum note at 1'23 - don't know what happened there. It's all too hectic! Anyway, I say it again - Stewart Copeland is a God. Oh, and yes, that is a pigeon.....

man you play really well, why the rods tho, those things are nasty!

[jouxplan]

@bentecho Thank you! On these old videos, I used a camcorder and cd player only to record sound - so needed to be quieter - hence the Flix Stix.

Have a look at my more recent videos (including a much better version of Every Little Thing She Does), where I use wooden sticks and my Roland TD20-KX. I think you will like that video more :-)

AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING! THAT´S MY FAVOURITE POLICE SONG DRUM PART! i ENVY YOU! ALMOST LIKE STEWART ON THAT SONG! CONGRATULATIONS!

[jouxplan]

@SonnyBurnett2008 Glad you enjoyed it! Er, but if you look at my more recent cover of this, done on my Roland kit, I think you will find it far better, and also much more entertaining - I won't spoil the surprise, but you will enjoy the end :-)

this IS the hardest song to cover of The Police on the drums IMO. amazing!

[jouxplan]

@BLaZe071775 Ha! Ha! It is certainly not easy, but to be honest I find them all frighteningly difficult to do. Walking On The Moon is outrageous, but for me, the one I simply can't do is Driven To Tears - cannot get from verse to chorus without making a horrible mess!!!!

Thank you!

Hello, congratulations really enjoyed it! I'm also trying to get this song on the piano, but I'm not professional. If you have any tips on what I can improve, if you can write to me, let me know, please! Michel Nader - Sao Paulo, Brazil!

Olá, parabéns gostei muito! Eu também estou tentando tirar no piano esta musica, porém não sou profissional. Se tiver alguma dica no que posso melhorar, se puder escrever para mim,  me avise, por gentileza! Michel Nader - Sao Paulo, Brazil!
