Copeland was ranked the 10th best drummer of all time by
Rolling Stone
in 2016.According to
MusicRadar
, his "distinctive drum sound and uniqueness of style has made him one of the most popular drummers to ever get behind a drumset".He was inducted into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
as a member of the Police in 2003, the
Modern Drummer
Hall of Fame in 2005, and the
Classic Drummer
Hall of Fame in 2013.
THE POLICE (1977–1986)
Copeland performing with the Police in 1979
In early 1977, Copeland founded the Police with lead singer-bass guitarist
Sting
and guitarist
Henry Padovani
(who was soon replaced by
Andy Summers
), and they became one of the top bands of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Copeland was the youngest member of the band. The Police's early track list (before their album debut) was largely Copeland compositions, including the band's first single "
Fall Out
" (
Illegal Records
, 1977) and the
B-side
"Nothing Achieving". Though Copeland's songwriting contribution was reduced to a couple of songs per album as Sting started writing more material, he continued to co-arrange all the Police's songs together with his two bandmates. Amongst Copeland's most notable songs are "On Any Other Day" (where he also sang lead vocals), "Does Everyone Stare" (later to be used as the title of his documentary on the band
Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out
), "Contact", "Bombs Away", "Darkness" and "Miss Gradenko". Copeland also co-wrote a number of songs with Sting, including "Peanuts", "Landlord", "It's Alright for You" and "Re-Humanize Yourself".
Copeland also recorded under the
pseudonym
Klark Kent, releasing several UK singles in 1978 with one ("Don't Care") entering the
UK Singles Chart
that year, along with an
eponymous 10-inch album
on green
vinyl
released in 1980. Recording at
Nigel Gray
's Surrey Sound Studio, Copeland played all the instruments and sang the lead vocals himself. Kent's "Don't Care", which peaked at No. 48 UK in August 1978, actually predates the first chart single by the Police by several months ("
Can't Stand Losing You
", issued in October 1978) as "Don't Care" was released in early June 1978.
In 1982, Copeland was involved in the production of a
WOMAD
benefit album called
Music and Rhythm
. Copeland's score for
Rumble Fish
secured him a
Golden Globe
nomination in 1983. The film, directed and produced by
Francis Ford Coppola
from the
S. E. Hinton
novel, also had a song released to radio on
A&M Records
"
Don't Box Me In
" (UK Singles Chart n. 91)—a collaboration between Copeland and singer-songwriter
Stan Ridgway
, leader of the band
Wall of Voodoo
—that received significant airplay upon release of the film that year.
The Rhythmatist
record of 1985 was the result of a pilgrimage to Africa and its people, and it features local drums and percussion, with more drums, percussion, other musical instruments and occasional lead vocals added by Copeland. The album was the official soundtrack to the movie of the same name, which was co-written by Stewart. Copeland is seen in the film playing the drums in a cage with lions surrounding him. The band attempted a reunion in 1986, but the project fell apart.

The Police reunion (2007–2008)
At the 2007
Grammy Awards
, Copeland, Andy Summers and Sting performed the song "
Roxanne
" together again as the Police. This marked the band's first public performance since 1986 (they had previously reunited only for an improvised set at Sting's wedding party in 1992 and for their induction into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
in 2003). One day later, the band announced that in celebration of the Police's 30th anniversary, they would be embarking on what turned out to be a one-off
reunion tour
on May 28, 2007. During the tour, Copeland also released his compilation album
The Stewart Copeland Anthology
, which was composed of his independent work.
In 2007, the French government appointed Copeland (along with Police bandmates Summers and Sting) a Chevalier of the
Ordre des Arts et des Lettres
.
The group performed 151 dates across five continents, concluding with a final show in August 2008 at
Madison Square Garden
, New York.
