STEWART COPELAND

I just bought the July 2007 i#133 issue of DRUM Magazine and guess who is on the cover with a cheshire-cat type of grin with his drum set. It's a great interview with a cool timeline of his career and a cool selected discography that even goes into some more obscure stuff. There is a cool, color-coded diagram of his latest set-up. It appears that this interviewed occurred around the time they were rehearsing in Vancouver.

Dietmar, if you need a copy of this, let me know!

Hey, thanks for the heads-up Conroy! I knew this was coming out but didn't know it was on the shelves already.

Haven't read the article yet but the photos are great; I have three up already at tookool:

I'll work my way through the rest later...

I just picked up my copy today... really good article. Re: new music, he mentions that the reason he's not confirming anything is that he's waiting to see if Sting comes up with anything, and he refuses to pressure Sting to start writing anything new. Basically the whole "All we know is that we're gonna have a blast for a year and so far that's it" thing is a pretty good way of keeping everything light and mellow and easy-going, without the pressure of looking forward (or dreading) going back into the studio. From what I read, he refuses to say that they intend to come up with any new music, but he never fully "shuts the door" on the prospect.

"This year, we're playing as The Police and that's all we have to worry about. This band is going to be way stronger than it ever was before. We are in a whole new place now, and those songs that we have to play, those are great songs. So, new material? I don't know. New Police? Absof**kinglutely."

Let's see.

I'll scan in the image that breaks down the entire kit & make sure all the text is readable - should have it up by tomorrow.

Thanks alot Laz and Sockii

go to www.paiste.com and check out stewarts reunion cymbal set up with the 22" prototype ride complete with rythmatist logo!

Ive noticed from the pictures its the coloursound ride, and it says in the listings about the dark metal ride. So far ive seen the dark metal ride feature in the tuscany rehersals and the coloursound in the vancouver rehersals from the videos of the official site.

LEt me know if you can't find it. I'd be happy to pick one up for a fellow fan and send it over. Not sure what the postage would be but if Media Mail is available internationally shouldn't be too much.

Feel free to PM me.
