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.

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.

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

I agree that he "made" the police with his style, tempo and meter.

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.
