What Is BeatBuddy?

Whether it is his great songwriting, unmistakable voice, impeccable production or ground-breaking sound, there is so much to like and enjoy about Sting. Always surrounding himself with some of the finest musicians on the planet, Sting has created his own genre-defying sound by drawing influences from Jazz, Classical, Arabic and World into Pop/ Rock.

Included in this pack are beats and fills to 10 of his most popular hits, featuring grooves by the drumming greats: Vinnie Colaiuta and Omar Hakim:

• All This Time
• Englishman In NY
• Fields Of Gold
• Fortress Around Your Heart
• Fragile *
• If I Ever Lose My Faith In You
• It’s Probably Me
• Seven Days
• Shape Of My Heart
• When We Dance

All songs contain full beat arrangements, along with fills, as heard on Sting’s original studio recordings.

For best results and to take advantage of additional percussion, we recommend the Standard Pro drum set.

* Fragile utilizes World Percussion Set.

This release is included in the Complete Collection 2023
