Every Little Thing – The Police / Mia Morris /drum cover/ Nashville Drummer, Musician, Songwriter

Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic is a great song! I can’t read that without hearing the chorus in my brain and feeling a little happier. I covered two other songs by The Police as soon as I could possibly manage a version when I first started playing drums because I grew up listening to Zenyatta Mondatta on repeat. Every Little Thing is actually from Ghost in the Machine along with some other classics. I have little doubt I will revisit Stewart Copeland and The Police again in the future as well.

I talk briefly about what makes Stewart such an interesting drummer for me but it’s a simplified explanation. I say he pushes or plays in front but he actually does it in a way that can’t really just be called rushing. Like many great drummers, he’s able to isolate the groove he plays with his hand from the feel he has with his feet. He keeps everything in the pocket with his kick while he provides so much excitement and energy with where he puts his snare and fills.

That’s without even getting into the fact that his playing style is so distinct and recognizable that IMO, he’s one of a very short list of drummers that are as responsible for their bands overall sound as the singer or songwriters. I learn something every time I sit down to play along with Stewart Copeland and it’s always a blast to decipher his intricate hat work and signature writing. Yep, I’m a fan :) If you want a laugh, you might look up my first two attempts at The Police on Roxanne and So Lonely. I think I was 10 and 12 years old at the time.
I’m 15 years old and I want to be a professional musician when I grow up. I try to play lots of instruments but the one that I feel most at home on is a drum set. I would say the only thing that impresses me more than a great musician is a great songwriter so I also spend some of my time trying to learn the magic of songwriting. I thought it would help me keep focused on music if I started a drum series where I learned a new song every couple of weeks. After 4 years, it’s now turned into a larger musical search but my goal hasn’t changed. Hopefully, I will keep doing it, keep loving music and keep getting better.
