Stewart Copeland

Whilst I admire Stewart as a drummer – I take issue with this video.

Copeland chose to rest the drumstick of his left hand on the middle finger to play the snare drum, unlike his jazz heroes.

Ahem. My Dad was a drummer. The snare drum was the sound of my childhood.

As I’m feeling kinda kind. Here is a threefer :o)

P.S. I have vivid memories of being taken to 45 Commando by Dad and watching the band prepare for a big parade. He taught me about tightening the drumskin – it’s much like tuning a guitar!
