Stewart Copeland is one of my favorite humans. An insanely talented and unique drummer, composer, teacher, collaborator and entertainer. I wish I had half of this man's energy.

Very positive, always full of energy. Inspiring to hear him SO excited about things ...
Wow, another well tought out interview with Mr. Copeland. It's wonderful to hear these insights from a man who thrives at the crossroads of intellect and pure guts. I think that's what made the police so outstanding, his musical (and general) culture mixed with instincts. Thank you. This is something I will watch over and over again.

Big Stew ! Great Interview, as usual ! (-;
His humility accentuates his genius. The best!
This man is one of my drum heroes. Stanton Moore said Stewart is who he is. What you see is what you get. Love Stew.
I met Brian at Abbey Road a month ago. He is a very nice fellow. And yes, I could listen to Stewart for days... play and talk!
I now want to hear him conducting Götterdämmerung...
I had a TEAC 3340 back then, and a book on how to DIY recording, that happened to have Stingo on the cover. Cost 700 quid in 1987, had to sell it for 400 a year later, but such great fun.
This is a fascinating conversation!
Great chat! Thanks. Stewart is a firecracker! Hasn't lost any of that old mojo energy thang at all. I have no doubt that Mr. Copeland will be exactly like this when he reaches 100 revs around the sun. He is brilliant on so many different levels. Long may he bring us all that Stewart Copeland energy. It's contagious. Cheers and regards from Stratford, Ontario, Canada. (I liked & subscribed. Keep them coming!) 😎✌🎸

Hello Stratford! So glad you enjoyed it, we will be doing more cool things soon...
Great interview, thank you. I love the discussion about learning how to move air on stage and also how a sense of 'jeopardy' in a live gig is a vital ingredient. I saw the Deranged gig at the Colliseum in London, and chatted to some of the orchestra later that night. One of them was a viola player who took an improvised solo. She was very pleased that she'd 'had a go'. There was plenty of 'jeopardy' that night, as a result the performance and the vibe were great. He was the drummer I was listening to most in my teens. I feel very aligned with his attitude towards drumming and the essence of playing music, which is much more about creating and sharing moments with others than it is about demonstrating proficiency.
Such a unique drummer thank you for this interview
I always assumed the tape on the drum message incorrectly. Great interview. Great interviewee!

I've been an amateur drummer my whole life. Just play for fun and stress relief really. I tried 2 different times to take drum lessons, and learn to read music, but failed miserably. However, I can listen to a song 2 or 3 times, and pretty much play along to it. I know Stewart said that there are musicians who read, and musicians who learn by ear. It is so strange.

Like Steward said. Reading is not that hard. But it can be when starting out. My drum teacher is teaching it me one but at the time. So slowly it all sticks.

There are majestic musicians, then there support musicians. Steward is a magician who doesn't know why he is one. He feels music as only a handful of musicians and listeners can feel...This phenomena is impossible to explain in plain words. It just is. Thus, interviewing a majestic musician is like interviewing a majestic whale, or an animal. They don't know why they are or what they are.

Finally, someone notices
Someone, years ago nicked my green vinyl Klark Kent LP and my Police Zenyatta Mondatta picture star badge 45. I still go through my LPs hoping to find it. The Police is still music I learn from and love listening to. Can we get one more album of new music from these guys?

Touring is where all the money is now, not selling records anymore (with streaming etc). And they've done the big reunion tour already. Unlikely we'll see more, but there is always the future.

I always associated grownups with not cursing, at least when I was a child. Swear words used to be the domain of 10 - 16 year olds.

Interesting perspective. It was always older people who did when I was young, truckers and military types. They even had ratings for movies with cursing only for those over 18.
