Is that a pair of ant goggles?

Actually, I think it's the mathematical symbol for infintile.

I think he's been taking whatever Micky Hart did.

I found Mr. Copeland's varied thoughts to seem remarkably lucid, and his observations to seem especially pragmatic.
 
 

Perhaps he was acting.

The presentation seems refreshingly dissimilar to Mr. Hart's romanticized portrayal of music as a mystical experience.
 
 
Just in case...
 

Mr. Copeland's first words:
 
"Hunter gatherers would just sense that a certain place has a feeling of divine power."
 
And the Gods live in his studio. 
 
And he seems to believe vintage gear has mystical properties because "they have sung" and have "mojo" and "voodoo". 
 
Oh, you're right - no, mysticism there. 
 
Never mind. 
 
 
 
When Copeland was talking about four on the floor and no back beat when he was exploring African music, it reminded me of something from (I believe) one of Mickey's books, where he described Indian master percussionist Zakir Hussain's  decision to leave the Indian traditional music he was playing with his father and come to America and join one of Mickey's early world music ensembles - because he heard and felt something inside that he didn't recognize in the music he was playing with his father and didn't know where it came from - the back beat.
 
And "everything is miked up" is the exact technique Micky used for the Apocalypse now sessions.

I forget - didn't he also say that particular drum was "organic" or something like that?
 
Anyway, I suspect we all notice certain things that connect (or disconnect) to our own viewpoints and experiences. I happen to see connections to another musician even though Mr. Copeland does not come across as  a 4th-degree black belt space cadet.
