Stewart Copeland (born July 16, 1952) was the drummer for the band The Police.

Born in Virginia, Copeland moved with his family to the Middle East as an infant. He was famous for his blend of precise rock drumming along with a Reggae-influenced style. His brother, Miles Copeland, was the group's manager.

After The Police's demise in 1986, he went on to write soundtracks (for movies, TV shows, and video games), operas and ballets, and occasionally playing drums for other artists, e.g. Peter Gabriel.
