He is noted for his strong emphasis on the groove as a complement to the song, rather than as its core component. He once drove this point home at a drum clinic: Copeland announced that he would show the audience something “that very few modern drummers can do” and proceeded to play a simple rock beat for two minutes. Nonetheless, his playing often incorporates spectacular fills and subtle inflections which greatly augment the groove. Compared to most of his 1980s contemporaries, his snare sound was bright and cutting. He is also one of the few rock drummers to use traditional grip rather than matched grip. He is also noted for syncopation in his drumming.
Copeland grew up listening to a combination of Lebanese music, rock and roll, jazz, and reggae, but he selected from these styles what he needed rather than imitating them. In the 1980s, when many musicians were looking for bigger sound from bigger drums, he added Octobans. Invented by Tama Drums in 1978, Octobans consisted of eight six-inch drums in the shape of narrow tubes. He used another innovation, a splash cymbal based on a toy that he owned and that he helped Paiste design. He relied heavily on his 13″ hi-hats.

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 1980s. 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”.
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. He also starred in the film, which is “A musical odyssey through the heart of Africa in search of the roots of rock & roll.” (Copeland is seen playing the drums in a cage with lions surrounding him.)
