Message In A Bottle - The Police (Drum Cover)

This is my take on Message in a Bottle by the police. This is a fantastic Stewart Copeland drum track which has great energy and power.
Drum Kit: Mapex Saturn v
Snare: Ludwig 400 1967

Stuart Copeland is a virtuoso percussionist and is extremely difficult to imitate. Having said that, you did a fantastic rendition, bravo! 👏👏👏👏

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Many thanks!

[@jp00349]

You've done a great Stewart, son - even your innovative 1/16's were locked in. Good job

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Thanks 👍

[@jennybh08]

Stewart is one of my favorite drummer! You’ve done a killer job with it! Sweet kit too!

[@danieljulian4676]

You picked a great master to emulate. Really fine work, here, including tuning. The intensity in your gaze while you're working is something to see. Maturity, power, focus.

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Thank you very much!

[@crimn]

Cymbals and snare sound like the original!

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Thank you. Thats good to hear!

[@jennybh08]

That snare is killer!

[@danguitarman91]

Keep the police songs coming 💪

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Will do.

[@Jon_David77]

I haven´t heard a better cover version of this... fantastic work

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Thanks a lot. That's nice to hear.

[@oceanlbi]

Excellent! Not an easy one to play, good job!

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Cheers, thanks for the comment!

[@bh-zj4yt]

Wow you really did a fantastic job on this song. Love the finish on the Mapex, the toms sound great……I'm 66 and I’ve seen a lot of concerts, Copeland was the best live performance by a drummer that I’ve seen

[@horsefootrot5654]

😭😭 I miss my Mapex Mars Pro.. my last kit in my youth! Only in my 50's... Copeland is just so good. He was the stand out for me as a kid.

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Thanks a lot. Yes copeland was the man!

[@johnhickman106]

​@@jakegilbertdrums2169He still is.

[@filipefiat2002]

What a great Job Jake, One more time! Great drummer, even without the Copeland Octobans👌

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Thank you !

[@filipefiat2002]

@@jakegilbertdrums2169 we tank you, you should be playing elsewhere. Go for it.

[@localbod]

A quite excellent cover. Your sense of timing is brilliant. You have Copeland's slightly early feel and energy. This is the tightest and most faithful drum cover of this tune that I have encountered. Bravo! (edit:typo)

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Thank you. That means a lot.

[@localbod]

@@jakegilbertdrums2169 You're welcome. It is the truth. 👍

[@DanielDiaz-en2ux]

Lo has hecho muy bien, me ha gustado mucho tu interpretación. Tengo casi 57 años, y todavía disfruto escuchando a The Police. Gracias

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Cheers. Thanks for listening.

[@kenhigh8054]

Amazing cover! Not easy to replicate but looked note by note to me. Great job! You had me a little nervous with the right hand stick splintering at the end. I also love the finish on that kit - just beautiful!

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@powerage17]

Awesome Mr Copeland..love it !!! Fantastic

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Thanks for listening

Well done kid! Thumbs up!

Really well done!

Bravissimo!!! Complimenti!!! Continua così uguale a Copeland!!!

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Thanks a lot.

[@stujos82]

Really great job my friend and your Mapex kit sounds amazing, very tight and rich.

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Cheers. Glad you like the sound.

[@octachron_ios_drum_sequencer]

Yay! Really good job on playing one of drums absolute greatest! ✌️😊

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Thanks a lot!

[@anakina1]

Spot on, great job, you did your homework.

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Cheers. I did spend a lot of time on it.

[@soelu_1]

Very good realisation! Honestly better than Stewart Copeland has played it live in recent years! As Copeland himself says, he's someone who can't play anything exactly the same twice, and your version here - to my ears - really sounds exactly 1:1 like the original recording. Excellent!

[@ricardodecastro5793]

you are a beast!!! When your right hand drumstick splintered at the end there, not kidding you, I got goosebumps man! so in the pocket, tight tight contact with drums, flowing freely, killer!

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Thank you.

[@horsefootrot5654]

That was really nice mate!! Well done!! Beast effort on my favourite.. Copeland. I'm an old fella now... Feeling very nostalgic about my Mapex Mars Pro kit with its gleaming cherry finish😢😢😂😂

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Thanks, kit sounds nice.

[@drummerboyharm3078]

Hey Jake. One of the best you did here! 👍

Holy shite mate , that is spectacular 🙌

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Thanks Man

[@dogmart]

Great playing - you nailed the accents of Stewart’s playing well! I would tune your toms higher -your toms were too dark and Stewart’s toms were always tuned high and more prominent in the mix. Great job!

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Thanks a lot!

[@withnail70]

[@juanignaciovargaslallement5073]

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Thanks

[@HuckFinn212]

Very accurate! I play it (almost) exactly in the same way! It`s really fun to play! I always feel like deserving an award for mastering the song!

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Thank you. Yes its a bit of tricky one.

[@compostcorner5934]

Good job mate . One thing I wish I'd kept on doing . playing drums .I had a brief bash back in the late 80,s but didn't carry on with it .I played for a few yrs then sold my kit to buy a car and that was my drumming days done .doubt I could even play now

[@jakegilbertdrums2169]

Thank you. You'll have to get back to it at some point.

[@DanielDiaz-en2ux]

Nunca es tarde para aprender.

[@99ayrton]

Great! Almost perfect! Congratulations

[@danlebron2610]

Be happy not petty .Mr almost perfect.

[@99ayrton]

⁠ With “Almost Perfect” I was referring to Stewart Copeland's original, and with all due respect to the guy in the video, that's a huge compliment. You're probably the only one who didn't get it, because you're the only one having a KZbin channel with 0 followers in 7 years: a real world record, but keep pushing and never give up☝🏻
