Stewart Copeland is so good that even non-drummers recognize his playing style as soon as they hear it. He was the perfect drummer for that band.

Not over played, not flashy, just pure perfection.

[grindnoisegorecore]

Apparently every little thing he does is magic

[RestoringChristine]

"Every Little Thing" is a cymbal masterpiece. It's amazing how moving that song is, relying mainly on a bass line and CYMBALS.

[fizzyfozbuzz]

Look how relaxed this guy is! His hands do ALL the talking, that ride is

[dylanconrad]

Perfectly played. So many people take liberties with SCs playing, himself included seeing as he never plays the same thing twice live, but the style and feel was masterfully delivered. Well done.

[ZOB]

This dude is cool as a cucumber - looks like he’s just hanging out chillin’, meanwhile he’s laying down a note-perfect cover. Awesome

[chipsmith]

Copeland’s hats are so badass that Peter Gabriel had him play JUST hi-hats on “Red Rain, ” and within the first measure of the song you know it’s Stewart Copeland playing. Very few drummers have such a personal signature.

3:16 Nailed the Magic drum fill! Stewart never plays a song the same way twice live, but this drum fill has become the only he feels like playing it.

[evanthegreat]

This guy is pure emotion. Got touched by his feeling and words. Well done, great cover

Rob "Beatdown" Brown. I started playing drum in January, at the age of 49 with no musical background, because we didn't have a drummer at our church and I felt the drums looked and sounded bad. I've learned so much from you -- from tunning the drums, playing the shout beat as a beginner, to working on my double stroke. Thank you sir. Great post and great drum cover by the way.

[unclemick-synths]

There was drumming before Copeland and drumming after Copeland. Massive game-changer.

[pheddupp]

I'm sure that Stewart Copeland will be highly flattered after he sees this video. You nailed this song Rob. My personal drum hero is John Bonham.

[yojoebananas]

this guy was my drum teacher 25 years ago in Ajax, Ontario. So wild to see him on here. He was very good then, and is truly a master of his craft.

Not enough people know about Mr. Beatdown Brown. Such a flawless performance. The pocket, the feel, the technique, the dynamics, everything was spot on. This man has mastered the art of serving the song. I was thrilled to see him on Drumeo and I wish him nothing but an abundance of success. Truly astounding.

[theshawnfussellband]

I love Rob Brown. What a fantastic drummer and person.

[kevindemello]

Wow! Blown away! This is the first time I've heard anyone capture Copeland's playing with such fluid groove and accuracy! Shows how much love and time you spent learning. Great tribute to your hero.

[Drummer]

Those 73 people that thumbed downed this video, must dislike stellar relaxed drumming. Rob Brown nailed the cover.

[Holmesy]

One of the few songs where the drums shine well above everything else. Iconic

[drvijil]

I saw The Police on their Ghost in the Machine tour and it was an amazing concert. They opened with “Message in a Bottle” then went directly into “Every Little Thing She does is Magic” which was a 1-2 knockout punch ! Stewart Copeland is a hard hitting force of nature and my favorite drummer to have seen perform live. Well done on your cover and tribute.
