Any Stewart Copeland fans here?
IMO he was the best part of the group "The Police."

I'm listening to 2 CD's I have of his instrumental music.
All of it from the "Spyro The Dragon" games.

1. Great drummer, pretty mediocre songwriter
His stuff on Regatta de Blanc wasn't too bad, but Mrs. Gradenko makes me physically ill when I listen to it. :P I really like 'Contact' and 'Does Everyone Stare' is probably the best thing he wrote, in my view.

3. I loved the Police, saw them a couple of times in concert
I wasn't real crazy about Animal Logic though.

4. One of my favorite drummers---
He does some great work on a one-off album with Les Claypool and Trey Anistasio. The group was called Oysterhead. Great CD. It might be a little out there for some folks, but I know several people who like it.

5. The Clark Kent album, Music to the movie "Fresh", and of course
his brilliant drumming for the Police.

6. Big Stewart fan here
I really dug The Rhythmatist. Not a huge fan of his voice, but love his drumming.

7. He's a God
I agree that he "made" the police with his style, tempo and meter.

9. Count me in! -
Hell yeah, you need a slamming backbeat and a lot of syncopation you call Stewart Copeland. I really dug the Animal Logic stuff - THAT is some power pop. He and Stanley played well together, imo. The Oysterhead stuff I found unlistenable. And I like the all the bands they came from.
