The Police-Driven to Tears (DRUM COVER)

[@oliverpearson1577]

A truly difficult song to master, which you have accomplished.

[@tblack9711]

Especially since Copeland plays how he feels and doesn't really stick to a conventional pattern.

[@ultramet]

This cover was so good, I pulled out my bass and played the bassline to the song while jam,Ing to your cover. You especially nailed the end which is tough as can be.

[@SwappingIsSaving]

Best cover I've seen of this song. Captures the energy of the original.

[@paulsharkey6576]

Copeland is my favorite drummer.

[@bluboi776]

Impressive dude, honestly, awesome

[@bluboi776]

I've just watched this again, a year later, was about to comment how neat it was, turns out I already had! Nice job man. Copeland has such a nice style, and really hard to cover properly.

[@bosephusjr]

great job! you noted a 'few mistakes'... still sounds great; I have zero doubt that if asked, Steward could replay it note for note but I've seen video performances of this one & none of them are the same as the original recording.. therefore, in my humble opinion.. you learned the song.. you know the song, you had fun.. you crushed it.. keep on rockin!

[@AlainHubert]

Wow ! Even Stewart himself couldn't play this faithfully ! Kudos ! 👍

[@Avarra14]

I'm a huge fan of the Police and I have to say that you absolutely killed this. Very very very very well done!!!

[@jtg2737]

Fantastic! Here and there not played exactly but that is understood. Had the octobans and the small splashes been present I would have thought it was Mr. Stewart Copeland himself going off of just the audio alone! Keep it up!

[@sokal777]

One of the best skills of Copeland are found in this song....kudos!

[@princereznor1]

Stewart is my all time favorite instrumentalist in Rock music.You kicked ass on here man.You are a great drummer dude

[@vaskenkazandjian7006]

Dude, I stumbled upon this while playing around and I have to say you are amazing! Good job!

[@JonathanBrindley]

Awesome tuning, sounds so good.

[@keithmccaslyn2527]

Dan came to PLAY and I mean play his ass off, right into the groove. Best cover of this song by a drummer bar none, thus far. I might be 8 years late to the party,but damn it ,I can still leave a genuine and sincere comment and compliment. Dan YOU Rock Man !! Love it. Hope you're still keep up the good groove and work. As a Fellow Drummer, really appreciate your abilties and talents there of...as Jimi used ta say "Play on Drummer!" !!

[@zoey_cairns]

Amazing performance mate, Stewart is probably my favourite drummer and you've absolutely nailed his style :)

[@timsullivan67]

This is a clinic on how to play a song without doing a standard backbeat!

[@kpec3]

Nailed it! What was neat about your cover was that you came up with your own fills, and they were dead on! Thanks man!

[@daynatg6824]

Amazing amazing amazing! Such a technical song. He’d be proud of you x

[@peetey249]

Very good. Love that song.

[@genuinerecovery]

Fantastic, Bud! Keep going.

[@genuinerecovery]

Meant Dan, has skill. Great job.

[@sarahkorver2439]

OMFG ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Absolutely smashed this to perfection 😍 gonna have a go at this one day.. I play bass but wanna give this a bash.. thank you for your upload xx

[@michaelyacci3774]

Very fun to watch -- a nice performance of a Copeland's very unusual and complex style!

[@michaelevans9320]

That was beautiful, mate! You've really outdone yourself on this one. Cheers to you on that, then! 🥂

[@AlainHubert]

Very impressive ! Very faithful to the original. I think that even Stewart himself couldn't remember the drum part this well. Two thumbs up !

[@milehighmichael1]

Dude, you killed that. Not being a drummer I can’t appreciate how difficult this song is but it sounds to me like you nailed it. Very cool!

[@MTAviationPhotoFilm]

Awesome job. Best cover I have seen of this by far

[@timneumann8515]

Great playing! Much respect. I love the drums of Driven to tears too, very unique.

[@petersciavolino6312]

I could listen to the drums on this all day long. Loved it!

[@obiwazz6929]

Excellent work Dan, loved hearing and watching that. It's some difficult stuff but you made it look easy

[@aakashindu6694]

Awesome cover man!

[@vaskenohanessian1142]

Awesome job ! Accurate drumming !

[@phoenixblack1220]

That was absolutely amazing! Great job man!

[@thechad6594]

Never heard someone nail all the nuances of copeland’s performance of the original recording. Bravo!!!👏🏾

[@wightwalker2453]

Great to watch people who can do stuff.

[@KavanaghGrainne]

Superb.... Absolutely superb 👏👏👏

[@stanley2004]

Hi. Beautiful last name of yours.

[@marcobiagiotti5513]

The best cover-performance i 've ever heard. Great job !

[@michaelglynatsis2426]

Umm, I want to leave a comment, but I can’t find the words to sufficiently describe how much I admire your drumming - seriously admire and appreciate the level.

[@jorgecarretero6155]

You f__ken nailed it,and agreed to all positive comments. You by far covered it accurately.

[@mikemaroney6688]

Great job on this song. You really nailed his whole tone. I love the punch of the bass drum toms and snare.

[@seanm6311]

Great sounding kit. Well played.

[@kinetickid100]

Awesome, love your cover of this great song. Nicely done, live long Stewart.

[@KrupaDrums]

Excellent touch and sound. Well done mate

[@rhythmantic]

Great drumming and your kit sounds fantastic and matches the sonic soundscape of the track.

[@whyyoulidl]

Just found! Man, you killed that; BRILLIANT. (Applause...)

[@tremayne3]

You ARE Stewart Copeland man......super freaking awesome playing!!!!

[@DanSilverDrums]

Pete Mago I wish I was Copeland. lol Anyways thanks man! Appreciate it.

[@provocase]

Respect! You hit the Stewart-feel nail right on the head. Your drums sound really well too. Kudos!

[@SuperTreemendus]

Love the last bit! 🙂

[@ljay79]

Awesome cover

[@DanielS-pu4eu]

Good job on a very intricate drum part from a master

[@12alozada]

Great Job! Thanks for posting this video!

[@jimmyjames1636]

the symbols during the chorus...goosebumps!

[@deanpapadopoulos3314]

Your energy is just right.

[@m.rambio5441]

Bravissimo!!! Grazie...

[@THEATREofPAIN270]

Awesome Dan. Stewart Copeland is a beast. Been a fan of his many yrs. Subbed to your channel.

[@1kindredspirit1]

Excellent job

[@fju1107]

Very well done! I'm just starting out playing myself so if you don't mind I'll just copy what you've done here because you nailed it! Cheers.

[@chadstrohmayer541]

Fantastic performance Solid and precise

[@RemsCover]

Nice cover ! I just posted a police's drum cover and it brought me to yours! Good Job

[@michaelbousfield6114]

You smash this one out of the park. So very tight and the licks were on song. Stewart Copeland is my favourite drummer or very least top 5.

[@unclespeedy]

nicely done. congrats and thanks for posting.

[@victorygah]

Very vey good, Dan. At 99.6%, reaching the Excellence.

[@gfp38]

You totally nailed this. Brilliant.

[@gutbucket260]

I always listened to Sting's Bass on this song. Never realized how much cymbal work was going on till now Thanks.

[@shaneweightman]

So good I had to watch it again cheers shane uk 🇬🇧

[@KyleWilliams-it7de]

Totally nailed it! You're one with the drums my man

[@ericquiroz2729]

Awesome cover dude, relly love this song, and your interpretation with power

[@montraix]

Great feel on that

[@gocanadien]

Unbelievable. Awesome

[@NigelMarston]

Dunno why this popped up now but I'm glad it did. Too few KZbinrs really capture Copeland's ultra tight snare but you have it 100%. Playing was also top notch. One of my two fav Police numbers for "that" fill where he plays too many notes into the next sequence but it's perfect. The other is Every Little Thing... of course.

[@Daddy53751]

This is the best cover of this tune out there! You got game kid!!!

[@DrummerGrrrl]

WOW!!! You nailed it.

[@giannitama]

Very well done and accurate cover, I would suggest to implement it playing along the octobans and splashes which are a great part of such drum part, I think you may match even more the very personal style of Copeland at that time. As a personal impression, rhe ride work seems not to be as accurate as the hihat one (not easy!), Stewart played a very unconventional ride beat on this tune using the bell and the body of the ride cymbal at the same time creating a "wall" of sound very particular, you should implement this tecnique in my opinion.

[@spenceragain]

Wow, wow, wow!! Probably my favorite Police song and what you pulled off here is a big reason. Excellent! Yeah you tripped up *slightly* a couple times but I wouldn't even use the term "mistakes." You not only executed Copeland's part amazingly well (WHO else would think of playing that song the way he did?!!!) but you FELT it and it showed. It's not classical. It's not bossa nova. You don't bring charts and a metronome to this gig. You kick 'em in the balls, you take a few risks, and you have a blast doing it. And that's exactly what you did. Bravo!

[@timneumann8515]

This is great! Best drum cover of this song! Respect, Dude!

[@douglaspalmer-oit4244]

What mistakes? You nailed it! Great work!

[@zephead2002]

Nice Solid Performance,... great accents on the Ride with cross stick on the Snare,... love the transitions to the HH and the Tom Fills,... Ohhh and rock solid 1/4 notes on the BD,... you nailed that song man,... Keep On Rockin'!!!

[@DanSilverDrums]

haha thanks a lot man! Really appreciate it!

[@daveinnh2292]

Strong meter, nice work. Finally found someone not afraid to attack his kit. Will someone get that guy a set of octos and some splashes?!

[@rachidboukhlifa4054]

nice job, really

[@dekizivac5591]

Bravo.........

[@TBullets85]

Greatest open hat ever. Then the wakes one of these nights.

[@eborona817]

I'm a drummer...this is a progressive style on the surface, but those beautiful dramatic pauses makes this such great art in an ere of hairbands.

[@chusmaestro]

Congratulations, you nailed it and played so loose and confident. With your permission, I will use your video as a reference to try covering it by myself...even if it will drive me to tears...

[@josecoayla]

Voilà such a master! 👍

[@JD-eq4dp]

Well done old sport. Copeland not an easy drummer to copy. Great stuff 👍

[@robertu4301]

That was fun!~

[@shredder5214]

Nuts buddy I bet you a legend these days.

[@Builtlikekevinhart]

That was giving me goose bumps

[@dvanbenthem1230]

me too

[@fitzyboy4591]

the fill at 2:21 sends me everytime

[@winchesterknickerbocker1652]

Holy cow.... Best Stewart Copeland cover ever!

[@yogamazing]

[@Rebornthrudoom]

Yo, absolutely killer. Thank You.

[@fbsl_drumming5983]

Best cover. Very good drummer.

[@TheDaaazer]

Well done! Not an easy one at all, but you nailed it.

[@brettwatson-will3388]

That was shit hot. I love the drums in this song. Stewart Copland would be proud of you.

[@paulwilkinson8099]

Loved it

[@j4johnfox]
