The great Stewart Copeland visited Brandon Toews at the Drumeo studios in Abbotsford, British Columbia, where he recreated his legendary percussive line in The Police song “Driven to Tears”. Copeland was rather casual about this performance, amusingly checking both his watch and phone as he played.

Stewart Copeland performs “Driven to Tears” from The Police’s 1980 album “Zenyatta Mondatta”.
