So Lonely - The Police - Matt Flacche

Here you can watch Matt play the drums to "So Lonely" by The Police. Don't miss the never-before seen/heard ending, as it is extended beyond the originally faded-out ending on the Outlandos d'Amour album. The drumming is clearly not a note-for-note reproduction Stewart Copeland's arrangement; in many cases, the drum parts are completely original. The video was shot in full-HD (1080p), while the audio was taken directly from the mixing console.

love your ride man!

[@michaelbrown3128]

Our minds work a lot the same. It was weird watching those extra fills because I felt them almost like something I would do! So, great job! I consider myself an above average drummer, so giving you big credit! Great looking kit, and great skills!!!

[@flacche]

Thanks Mike. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment on my video.

[@flacche]

I'm glad you liked it Sam! Thanks for watching!

[@rogersgonc]

Nice! Extra colors on it. Really fitted fine. Congrats

[@flacche]

Thank you!

Nice! I noticed the opening of your video features "!00,000 Years" by KISS from KISS Alive. I use to play that entire song on my drum set as a kid when it first came out (it's how an 11-year-old me honed my skills at the time.) Looking to get back into the drums and am researching kits, which is how I stumbled upon this video. Nice playing and killer drum setup you have there!

[@flacche]

Thanks! Kiss is one of my all-time favorite bands. My first concert was Kiss Dynasty, September 1979, at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, PA. I was 8 years old hahaha! My parents just dropped my brother and I off out in front of the Spectrum... it was safer then... at least we thought it was.

[@Genshi]

Yep, saw that tour in 1979 at the San Diego Sports Arena. 15th-row, dead center. I think they did something like 5 encores that night. I was 15 years old at the time, so not my first concert (that, and my Dad was a Concert Promoter and Radio DJ, so my first concert was seeing my Dad's friend Johnny Cash perform when I was 5 years old!)

[@hollycaringi8706]

Rock on!

[@flacche]

Thanks Holly! How is your new baby? I hope she is doing well!

[@ldcalhoun5436]

Great job! You can really tell how much you enjoyed that one! Superb playing!

[@flacche]

Thanks SD! I was listening to The Police as there albums were releasing. I was amazed each time!

[@TwoToedSloth]

Well that was a good way to spend 6 minutes of my life!

[@flacche]

Thanks LD! I did enjoy recording this tune. I'm sick of it now... but that's only because I've heard it 100 times in the last few weeks LOL!

[@YourDailyGooch]

Really nice cover! Not many people can play up to the standards of Stewart Copeland. Great job!

[@flacche]

Thanks YDG!

[@Bson34]

Awesome man ! Especially liked the double bass added in gave it a little extra flavor. Love the masterworks kit too, if only I had the dough.

[@CraZedAnaRCHiSt89]

did I see this on CL for sale? for like 13 grand?

[@jangobango2847]

Lol I bet you did wish u had screenshots that's a beast of a kit

[@betofortal]

Amazing work man! Good Job! :)

[@larrytate1657]

Nice work. Gorgeous kit. What kind of shells did u go for? Pearl lets u mix woods together even on these?

[@larrytate1657]

How do u like the octopad, ?I'm thinking about getting one or yamahas version of it.

[@flacche]

+Larry Tate That kit was maple, bubinga, and mahogany... long gone. I don't play Pearl drums anymore, other than some of their special snare drums.

[@flacche]

+Larry Tate That is for sale as well, I only used it for some extra percussion sounds. The pads are too small for my taste.

[@KHfan4ever23]

What drums are you playing now?

[@flacche]

I'm playing an e-kit now, since I live in a townhouse. Here is a link to my latest video. When I move back to a single-family home, I will get a new acoustic kit. I will either be a Tama, Gretsch, Ludwig, or DW kit... I haven't decided yet.

[@AlainMulder]

Do you play 7A sticks? Nice cover!

[@flacche]

Thanks Alain! Yes, I use Pro•Mark Oak 7A Nylon... sometimes Hickory, sometimes wood tip.

[@AlainMulder]

Aah nice, thank you!

[@flacche]

Thank you trommelmann! I appreciate you taking the time to check out my video.

[@TheMrGhostlore]

Those Master's sound awesome man! Good drumming also
