Musician of the Month!

Music fanatic I am, and one thing that seems to be such an unusual thing “now” in music, is when the decision is made to use a real live band.  Once, that was never a question, because that is what you “had” to do.  Over time of course, we humans invented other ways of catching that sound without having to have a “real live band” experience.  Now entertainers mention that like it’s a novelty of sorts, “Yeah, we used a live band because I wanted that authentic sound”.  Like really people, it’s gotten to this point and can you tell it trips me out?  

Well of a live band the star to me is the drummer and if you study your craft well then you’ve got a fan in me.  One of those people whom I’m highlighting today is Steve Copeland of, The Police.  This man is magic behind a drum kit, in which he evokes that fire within your belly, the heartbeat of the rhythm that you feel when a drummer is playing with shear emotion.  There are times within a drum solo he is murdering the kit to death!  Not only do you see it happening, you feel it in your soul.  

Synchronicity 2 is my all-time favorite performances of his!
