I don't think he was underrated to me he was overshadowed by Stings big ego. He was well respected by other drummers.
@budmaynard59524 жыл бұрын
Copeland is a truly amazing drummer. His timing is perfect and some of the off-beat and syncopated rhythms he plays are genius. And I can think of no other drummer that can work a hi-hat the way he does. Peter Gabriel is notorious for disliking cymbals - when he records he doesn't even let his drummer's set them up with their kits, but he had Stewart Copeland come to the sessions for So just to play hi-hat on Red Rain, one of my favorite PG songs.

Stuart Copeland (the sole American in the trio) is one of the greatest drummers in the history of rock. His rhythms are so complex and his playing so crisp and technical but still so funky and danceable. It really defines The Police's sound almost as much as Sting's voice.

His wife had their first baby that night and he flew in LATE into NY for the concert so he didnt miss it and disappoint his fans. No kidding. Back then you had to basically DIE in order to cancel a show OR even awhile later in music history like in Dimebag Darrels case you had to LITERALLY get shot on stage to stop your concerts. There was none of this baby BS of ppl just have a hissy fit that you see a lotta ppl doing and walking off stage mid concert...and then ppl staying AS their fans.

Truth. Any effort toward just intonation brings happiness. Western music has been imprisoned by equal temperament for far too long (that darn piano). Blues artists, later, Jazz and Soul groups tried to break the cycle to good effect. In the last decade, Earth received Jacob Collier from whatever planet it is he was beamed down from to further the message. Bless him. And steel pans, which often stray "out of tune" and are "unprofessionally" corrected toward "Just."
