Yet another list of best drummers. It appears the drummers are listed in random order. Not posting this because I think these lists have any particular validity but more for just "why not?"
Here is what they say about our STEWART:

While the Police may not be the coolest band on the list, there's no doubt Stewart Copeland's jazz-influenced beats were a key factor in their massive success.

I'm not sure I would list jazz as the main influence in STEWART's playing with the Police. I think reggae influences when I think STEWART's playing with the Police. Maybe it's just me.
I think there is no doubt STEWART was the embodiment of Kool in the 80s. Too Kool to Kalypso in fact.
