Stewart Copeland rewrote the drumming rulebook on “Walking On The Moon.”
In this episode, we break down how Stewart fused global rhythmic influences with cutting-edge technology to create a drum part that still sounds decades ahead of its time. We also asked Stewart to send in brand-new commentary on the track—and he didn’t disappoint.
We dive into the song’s origin, Stewart’s rare influences, the gear behind the sound, and the subtle choices that made “Walking On The Moon” unlike anything else on rock radio in 1979. If you’ve ever wondered how a drummer can completely reshape a song—and leave a permanent mark on music history—this video is for you.
