Stewart Copeland

****THIS IS A FAN PAGE****THIS PAGE IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH STEWART IN ANYWAY****Borrowed from wikipedia Copeland is known for a blend of precise, energetic, and creative rock drumming along with a reggae influenced style. His distinctive sound centers on a hard, high-pitched crack on a snare drum or rimshot, subtle hi-hat work with understated flourishes, while often playing only hi-hat with bass drum. Copeland's distinct use of a polyrhythmic approach solidifies his stance as an important drummer, subsequently influencing generations of drummers. His credit on Curved Air's Airborne album was "Heavy Artillery" rather than "drums."Copeland is also noted for his heavy emphasis on the groove as a complement to the song, rather than displays of technical prowess. He once drove this point home at a drum clinic: Copeland announced that he would show the audience something "that very few modern drummers can do," and proceeded to play a simple rock beat for two minutes. Nonetheless, his playing often incorporates spectacular fills and subtle inflections which greatly augment the groove. Compared to most of his 1980's contemporaries, Copeland's snare sound was very bright and cutting. Another novelty was his used of splash cymbals. ****THIS IS A FAN PAGE****THIS PAGE IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH STEWART IN ANYWAY****
