Ilan is a very good educator as well, not only a phenomenal drummer with incredible drive and intensity. I am a teacher and this is very well explained and showed.

Was lucky enough to see Ilan play two nights with NIN at Red Rocks a couple weeks ago. Dude is incredible.

Big River Records Saw him play for NIN, too, but it was back in 2013. I was so stoked, especially because I didn’t know he was a member of the band. Glad to know he’s still touring with them. He’s an awesome player.

Cool, I saw him too playing with Stanley Clarke, Andy Summers and a female singer I can't remember her name. They played a small venue in my area and I stood really close fascinated watching his incredible technique.

I'm with you about Copeland's approach. Always seemingly improvisational with his hihat bits, fills and flourishes. It's a style that shows his personality a lot. Always been a Copeland fan. Great vid.

"They got it wrong or something in Jamaica and played 2 n 4 n not 1 n 3" still remember Copeland saying that in the Jools Holland video what a legend amazing video..love Ilan

A young player who plays like an old school badass. He’s outstanding.

Copeland is number one. He lives and breathes percussion.

Joshua Batch...I hope he breathes air. It’d be dangerous otherwise. You mean you’re a Police fan. Buddy Rich is number 1. Personally my number 1 is Ilan Rubin. It’s subjective. Probably the least factual comment I’ve ever read.

James Reeno I saw NIN in June I London. Rubin is nuclear. It’s not just premier league technique he has (see his drum off set on KZread using Massine too). He hits the drums with such power and grace. He also tweeted me whilst in tour in Europe somewhere. Took the time out to answer a a question about left or right handed. He told me he’s ambidextrous. It’s why I said “Top man too”.

Earl Brackett...and that’s that then is it. You say it and it’s true. Idiot.

I hope no one thinks that this should diminish Stewart Copeland, one of my FAVORITE drummers, but every lick in this video is just a common reggae lick. Of course, there are lots more Stewart Copeland licks that are unique to him! :)

BRILLIANT! Ilan Rubin just gave the tightest, clearest, most applicable breakdown of the great Stewart Copeland's signature moves I have ever seen.Not only that, he empowers drummers by showing them how they too can use these basics creatively in the context of their approach. Love it! Love it! Love it! Thank you, Ilan!

He never played the same thing twice....he is incredible.

He did this hi-hat in Paramore's "Now". Very nice attacks on those hats!

This is the best lesson I've ever had on Stewart's hi hat technique

He plays this kinda groove in paramore’s now. Right after the first chorus. Super cool.

Great job on dissecting Stewart’s groovy beat patterns. Thank you!

This was amazing! Copeland for the masses. Thank you Ilan, you are the man 👍🏼

Guitar player , here - but this video, this style of drumming etc. is SO INSPIRING! Great lesson

So bloody talented this guy, it's insane.

copeland's hi-hat tone is SUCH an important sound to the feel of those records ! so lonely (through some decent speakers) says it all

My two favorite Copeland hi-hat patterns are at the beginning of Spirits in a Material World and Peter Gabriel's Red Rain.

This is the best SC tutorial out there. You gotta have that feel. The building blocks are perfect!

Awesome Ilan! Thank You. Snare/rim shot always on the 3.

Outstanding lesson, those Avedis hats are buttery !!

Another great lesson! Thank you Ilan.🍻

Admire your technical talents.....great tutorial....Stewarts my #1 drummer.

Really awesome stuff! Remember folks reverse the sticking if your right handed, Ilan plays left hand lead, open handed!

This was great, thank you for this lesson!

Astounding...thank you

I needed this video 2 years ago...

So knowledgable and just f'in great

The 3 over 2 rhythm is also the main beat of many Bauhaus songs. Their drummer used some similar methods in his playing.

As Stewart has said hundreds of times, he only got two, three or maybe four takes on tape, after Sting brought his demos in that morning and said "play this, but make it better" and he was done - meanwhile, Sting and Andy got to fuck around with everything else LOL

Love this guy! Killer musician.

I have waited 12 minutes of this video to listen to that rare Ride cymbal only to find out that it's happening in the next one. still great stuff ! tnx guys !

Such a great lesson! Makes it all look so easy.

Ilan, you are a monster! Stewart Copeland was such a brilliant drummer, and you nailed his hat technique. Thank you!

What a great explanation! Thanks for the class !!!!

Cool drummer! I like his approach!

fantastic tutorial

this guy is talented as well as being a great teacher.

Great breakdown. Thank you.

Short and to the point. Nice.

Great lesson! Thanks!

Wow, great video. Thanks for breaking that down.

Ilan Rubin is one of my top 100 drummers

Roxanne on the live disc is epic, his work is legendary

Stewart’s hat work is emblematic of his left-handed ness playing a righty kit set up. Genius!

Its sad to see that some people are more interested in the dudes hair than his awesome drumming 🙄 Rock on man!! 🤘

Those hi hats sounds so good

Please never delete this video

Great lesson…Thanks for post this….you are awesome

Nice job man, very cool video. I really like the way you broke it all down. Can’t wait to work on it with my son. 🙏

Very cool vid. didn’t know Ilan was into Stewart Copeland, but now I hear it, especially in his earlier work on a tune with Denver Harbor - Outta My Head, on the Scenic LP. one of my fav tunes on that album!

This guy is the epitome of, fancy playing doesn't land u gigs. This is simple stuff, but he's playing it with conviction, and he sounds awesome.

Fabulous‼️great lesson that unlike some others, makes me feel like I’m getting there. Thank you and I’ve subbed you Ilan✌️🌻

Damn, where was this video when I was 17? I pulled my hair out trying to learn Regatta de Blanc. It sounded like three drummers playing it.

@commonman317

Stewart said he used an echo/delay machine on that intro too. I pulled my hair out too trying to learn Regatta de Blanc. Usually dropping the stick doing cross-sticking on the rim.

Very difficult to compare Stewart Copeland to other drummers as he is in a class of his own. His style is so unique and still can't think of many drummers who are so hi-hat heavy in their playing and the drumming in Walking on the moon is just so good and way he omits the first bass drum beat makes his playing a little more challenging for those covering him. Also he added more in the studio meaning it can be difficult to work out what he is playing as you have to imagine the extra notes are not there. He does this whooshing delay on Walking on the moon which I think is a studio added extra but makes it difficult to cover as you have to find a way around it. Stewart Copeland is definitely a drummer who will make you think. Another great tutorial.

Yes, Stewart used delay on the hat in WOTM (and other tracks). I think of him and The Edge as two innovators who used delay not merely as an atmospheric effect but rather as an actual arrangement/composition tool.

Great video brother!

Ilan is such an underrated drummer

Grew up trying in vain to replicate Ian Paice (Deep Purple), then John Bonham (Led Zeppelin) and when I heard Stuart Copeland I threw my hands up in the air in resignation. This tutorial is amazing in that it breaks it down to a level that appears so easy to follow. Well done Ilan Rubin.

¡¡Increíble!! Que baterista más brutal..

Stewart Copeland is one of my top 3 influential and favorite drummers after Carl Palmer and Neil Peart

Excellent!

Veri clear. Exelent class

Shadow in the rain copeland hit hat crazy!!

Effing brilliant. Thanks.

Love it

Brilliant

In ways Copeland, and Bonham were very much alike. Just an example or 2......I don’t think either could play one of their own tracks back as it was recorded. As you said, but both have that ADD drumming. They were both extremely influential to drummers who followed them. You do a great job!

Awesome video u are a beast

That 1 and 3 groove is basically the groove he uses on "bed too big without you"

WOW !!! U R VERY GOOD !!! THANKS !

You sir, are a god.

Joe Jackson-Fools in love has that same kinda sound. The whole Joe Jackson “Look Sharp” LP seems to be kind of Copelandish as well. At least I’ve always thought that

great speaker

Wonderful vid!! There may be this question already asked...Ilan, what snare drum is that?

his 12" hats are b20 on top b15 on bottom, makes them very cool

Ilan sold that exact kit on reverb like a year ago... Kicking myself in the ass for not buying it! It's the only one of its kind. He owns his own drum company and designs and makes his own drums! Q Drum Co

thanks ! greath

Wow! ..... This'll keep me busy for a few months!

WHAAAAAATTTT THAT WAS SO COOL

Killed it

Nice, is the ride stuff going to be on another video?

Awesome! Hope that one day you'll make jaki libeziet (can's drummer) lesson.. Unfortunately its too unmainstream.

Miss your 'Angels & Airwaves' days..!!

Well this is nothing short of brilliant...

What is awesome is that i have kindof an "ADD" and change stuff bar to bar. I have a feeling its because i listened to copeland at a young age.
