I'm not sure, it's a very syncopated pattern and wouldn't fit with a great deal else. I eventually learned to play it by watching a drum teacher demonstrate it on YouTube.

The most sampled drum pattern is James Brown's Funky Drummer featuring Clyde Stubblefield.

Indeed, it is, but the stalker is the former lover.

Loved the Police, but this is one of the few songs of their's I disliked from the start.
