[@JustALowClassWarrior]

@gravyblue I know this is out of the blue sir, but is there any way you could get in touch with him? My younger brother and I have been hugely inspired by him in our musical development, style, and attitude our whole lives. I know it's not likely, but it's always been a dream of ours to go out and meet him (or even video chat sometime). It was a particularly hard year for my 29-year-old brother (a former prodigy of Ted Mackenzie, of Buddy Rich fame), as he's been recovering from a mystery neurological illness for over a year now with no apparent diagnosis or cure... Years ago, I had gone to the trouble of producing him (miking, pre-mixing, recording/shooting, post-mix, leveling/mastering, etc.) drumming a couple covers to video mixtape in order to showcase his abilities for an audition, which ended up helping secure him a tour with a Peruvian rock band, Corban ("El Dueno" east coast tour). It's just a shame to see him not playing out like he used to.. I know he misses it, and honestly, he and I both know he's not living up to his full potential anymore (the pandemic didn't help either). If you can help, I know it'd be life-changing for him and I'd be forever grateful. If not, I completely understand. Thank you for your time, brother. ✌🏼

Hello Mr. James how are you doing 😊

[@davecummings7477]

Amazing. What's really incredible is understanding guys like Stewart Copeland, Neal Peart, Danny Carey, and other legends ACTUALLY INVENTED THE DRUMLINES THAT WOULD LATER BE PROGRAMMED INTO DRUM MACHINES. It's like a master architect who builds something by hand with his whit, imagination, and genius, and then years later, others try to recreate it by building it with tractors and machines. But there is only one Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Duomo Florence. Nothing else can ever duplicate it! Why because it was made by the masters. And here we have the maste's still mentoring through their passion to the next generation of music lovers.

[@buzzedalldrink9131]

I play guitar and never think much of drummers but Stewart is an exception. Simply amazing.

[@mykull666]

There's a reason no one will ever know who you are if you're a musician who doesn't think much of drummers. Singers and drummers are the hardest to replace in iconic bands. Most well-known bands that lose their original or classic lineup singers hardly ever recover, and losing a drummer changes the whole feel of a band, like Guns n Roses, The Who, Slayer, and a plenty of others. Duane Allman and Randy Rhoads were both easily replaced as are plenty of others. The only truly irreplaceable guitarist was Eddie Van Halen.

[@buzzedalldrink9131]

@@mykull666 pleease!! when your instrument can be replaced by a machine you really don’t count. There are a few exceptional drummers, but I’m guessing you’re not one of them.

[@mykull666]

@buzzedalldrink9131 yeah, I'm not a drummer, but I was in a band in the early 90s with a shitty drummer and we were going nowhere, then we got a really good drummer and got signed to Roadrunner Records less than 2 years later. He completely changed the dynamic of the band and the direction of our lives. Although the band didn't last due to bad habits, I was able to get a career in the music business as a tech and tour manager. Name one great or even good drummer that got replaced with a machine because I can't think of any but maybe you know of one. Also, I can run a program on my computer that has guitar sounds and tones which means guitarists can also be replaced with a machine. You can even change octaves with a machine and play guitar with a bass. Once again, Duane Allman and Randy Rhoads were replaced and not only did their bands not miss a beat, they arguably got better. You really can't say that about bands losing their classic/iconic singers and drummers. Give me a list of 10 bands that got better after replacing their classic lineup singer or drummer.

[@buzzedalldrink9131]

@@mykull666 then they got better when the drummer was replaced? Try the Beatles! how about RUSH? or even KISS? better singers that just comes down to taste and Randy Rhodes was the best guitarist Ozzy ever had in his band. I wouldn’t say the band got better but it survived which doesn’t say much because now there’s bands today they have one original member and there’s even bands that have no original members like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet. You can’t tell me that’s better. It’s just surviving.

[@mykull666]

@@buzzedalldrink9131 The Beatles were unknown when Ringo joined, you had to know I meant after they we a known band. If Randy was so good, why did Quiet Riot suck when he was in the band and got better when he left? Prove to me that he was more than a guy with some good solos without the help of Bob Daisley, Lee Kerslake, and Ozzy, because Badlands and Black Label Society have proven Jake and Zakk were able to write great songs without Bob Daisley's help. I love the mythical tale of Randy leaving Ozzy to go study classical and coming back to blow us all away. Yeah, we already had Yngwie for that and the majority of rock fans don't give a shit about classical music mixed with rock. It's a good story to have a fairy tale ending to a dead flash in the pan, but he was nothing without Ozzy and I don't believe for a second he was gonna come back after years of studying classical and form his own band that would be worth a damn. He would've come back right when thrash and glam were about to take off and he'd be begging Ozzy to take his broke ass back. Randy is a soloist, not a songwriter, which is why he should never be compared to Eddie Van Halen, who could write entire albums of great stuff by himself. Any L.A. shredder could've played on those first two Ozzy records and due to Bob Daisley, they would've been great, like the albums he wrote with Jake and Zakk. George Lynch would've done as well or better than Randy with Bob, Lee, and Ozzy.

@@sergiocarlos5395 Oliver is right, though. The term “underrated” means almost nothing anymore. Mr. Copeland is easily in the top ten most well known drummers in the world, and shows up on every list of best rock drummers. Therefore, he is literally rated more than almost any other drummer on the planet. Simply because the metal drummers you know haven’t taken the time to check out his work (despite his massive fame, and the fact that tons of metal drummers love him), don’t regard him as great, etc, does not mean that he’s underrated. He’s rated so highly rated, in fact, that it would be far, far, FAR easier to make the argument that he is OVERrated. Not that he is, of course; just that it would be an easier argument, due to how widely rated in all aspects of rating he is when it comes to great drummers.

Literally one of my favorite drummers of all time, and as it pertains to influences of mine in the world of drumming, and outside, because Stewart is a musician as well he is absolute badass, but he is right, 'Spirits in the Material World' is a harder time sig to sequester in your mind while laying accents over it then 'Murder by Numbers' which when you cop the groove for that, you're pretty much locked in the pocket. Are masterfully played rhythms, and just simply... What I enjoy about Stewart playing is he takes exotic grooves and then locks it back into a rock and roll time pocket... and trades off until the song is complete, there is in my mind nobody that does that better

[@Nash4Nashville]

Some 13 years ago I had the honor of getting on stage with The Police at sound check in Dallas. Greatest day of life (don't tell my wife:). Sting gave me 3rd verse of Message in a Bottle...in his mic...with him! Wild experience. When my turn came, I was NERVOUS!!! I will never forget when Sting heard me, he immediately turned to the band and stopped everything. Silence. He turned to me and joked " Hold on! You're not gonna take my place now". Then, Stewart came out from behind the drums to shake my hand and said something to the effect of "Stick it to him kid'. I'm paraphrasing but it was the single most amazing experience of my life. I actually impressed my hero! After that night my music career was totally different. I didn't care what anyone thought about my signing anymore. Sting liked it! What else is there?
