Jimmy Copley. I did not find
anything on him.
I saw him play live for the
first and sadly last time on
this tour for Tears For Fears
way back when:
At the time, I was playing
matched and right-handed
matched. I actually was not
expecting him on the tour
but when I saw him I was
really pleased with what he
did and especially how he did
it open-handed and powerfully.
If I am not mistaken, I think
he was friends with Simon,
who also worked on the
Seeds of Love album.
I am only catching up really
on player's lives and I am so
sad to hear of so many of their
deaths in the last number of
years. Jimmy was a good
drummer and did a lot to push
open-handed playing besides
Billy and Rayford.
I was saddened to hear of his
death in 2017. It was a tragic
year for TFF and Roland's wife
also died crushing him.
RIP, Jimmy and Caroline, too.
Regards,
P
