The Police’s former/current drummer played in Rome’s auditorium a few years ago (at the time of writing The Police have played in Turin). Being the drum aficionado that I am, I couldn’t miss this one considering that in August, 1983 I actually saw him together with Sting and Andy Summers just one month before they split up (until their reunion in 2007 circa).
I believe that the band’s name actually comes from Copeland’s father who had worked in the past for the CIA (Copeland is also the only American of the band). Unfortunately, he didn’t play any Police songs that night in Rome. Nevertheless, Copeland was incredible as at one point he looked like an octopus hammering away at the drums with at least 8 arms (all pics by M. Rimati)!
