The Police - Roxanne - Drum Cover

My first album 'Lack of Sleep' is out now!
Available everywhere: hyperurl.co/LACKofSLEEP
My name is Ewan Cunningham, I'm from Falkirk, Scotland. I'm an 18 year old, self taught musician. I started playing drums at the age of 4 and I'm now a multi-instrumentalist playing drums, guitar, bass, keyboards and vocals. I've been teaching myself to mix, record, film, edit and produce music since I was 10 years old and this is my passion.
This is a drum cover of "Roxanne" by The Police from their 1978 album "Outlandos d'Amour".

Something a bit different this week. Rediscovering an old classic that I used to listen to a lot when I was a kid. Hope you enjoy! I've got a few full covers recorded, just waiting for the Scottish weather to be nice so I can film them. I will also have my first demo coming very soon to my other channel! / @ewancunningham4206

Wow, I never realized how great the drumming in this song really was.

[@minitron8192]

Hobo Dawg Stewart Copeland was a brilliant drummer.

[@seabreeze7276]

Same!

[@thefrijole15]

Only thing that makes me listen to the police IS the drumming.

[@kademate6888]

Always get the feeling with drum covers. Or any corners for that matter

[@deadshot4245]

stewart copeland is an extremely insane drummer to try and replicate in any song

[@akattom]

Damn bro! That was awesome. What makes it even better is seeing your face enjoying every moment of the song. Roxanne is one of my favourite Police songs so this was a really fun watch. Good job!

[@Jbro952]

Ok, You may hate me for giving you this challenge. But I think the whole quadrophenia album by the who as a playlist would be a great challenge to you. Me personally, its probably my favorite album and I always put it on when Im going for a long drive. One of my water polo team mates always listened to that album before a game to pump him up. I have tried to master a lot of it but I really want to see a more professional do it first. it would seriously mean a lot if you could think about doing this for not only me but fellow who fans.

[@Bob.Silverstein]

This was a really great cover. Not only is your playing spot on, you nailed his tone really well too!

[@mikemyers2626]

You're awesome bro! I was just thinking about these drums today. I wish you the best

[@navihernandez6958]

Su playera como de Nick masón en Pompeya

[@patrickbourke2385]

How come we can't hear your drums in this?

[@petarpavasovic6333]

What's up with your Q&A and second channel?

[@thomasbentin2205]

Is it only your drumming we hear or do you play on top of the drums on the track so we hear both? Dont mean to critize your drumming, you seem like a solid drummer, but I do hear several crashes for example that I dont see you play. I am right now learning to play this song thats why I ask.

[@TheKosmonauti]

Which Tama is that?

[@langolodellapinsaepizzadir544]

bravo :) ma come studi?.... ciao

[@katieluu3177]

Noooo why aren't these available

[@langolodellapinsaepizzadir544]

cosa usi per imparare queste cover, se me lo puoi dire :) saluti da Roma

[@andymtb5714]

Cool, I was the 1.1K like

[@alexlubinski7795]

How did you record the sound of drums?

[@ikoiko28]

He didn't. It's Stewart Copelands drums (the original track). You can tell because there are certain things you can hear that he isn't doing.

[@magamixe]

I love you

[@dpjanes]

No drums only version?

[@victornunes2762]

Play message in a bottle , this song has a fucking drum

[@aalleexx16]

Symbals sound doesn’t match with video .. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@jorgegarza3203]

I think Tom 1 Is out of tune

[@romanazzii5962]

Extra fake

[@whatdyousay1566]

How?

[@TheMusicalElitist]

Good but not great. You missed a few cymbal hits and your fills weren’t exact. Good try though. C minus.
