Stewart Copeland, legendary drummer of The Police, was tasked with playing along to Limp Bizkit’s “Rollin’ (Air Raid Vehicle)” while hearing it for the first time as part of Drumeo’s popular YouTube series.

Drumeo’s first “For the First Time” episode of 2025 follows acclaimed editions featuring Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith taking on Thirty Seconds to Mars’ “The Kill” in 2023, and Dream Theater’s Mike Portnoy figuring out Tool’s “Pneuma” last year, among others. The Smith episode has garnered 20 million views itself.

Copeland, who landed in the Top 10 of Consequence’s 100 Best Drummers of All Time list, was asked by Drumeo host Brandon Toews if he had seen the “For the First Time” series at all, replying, “I saw Chad. How can you not love Chad?”

Toews then started playing “Rollin'” without its drum track for Copeland, who immediately began to play along.

Attorneys for Universal Music Group have responded to Limp Bizkit‘s $200 million lawsuit against the music publisher, claiming the allegations are based on “fiction.”

As previously reported, Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit filed a lawsuit against Universal Music for $200 million, claiming the band “never received any royalties” until recently.

In the lawsuit, filed on October 8th, Durst’s lawyers allege that Limp Bizkit and “possibly hundreds of other artists” have “unfairly had their royalties wrongfully withheld for years” due to a “fraudulent” system created by Universal Music. Considering Limp Bizkit’s massive popularity during those years, and the considerable amount of subsequent royalties, the lawsuit raised eyebrows across the industry.

Now, Umg’s attorneys have hit back in a motion last Friday (November 22nd), stating that Durst’s claims are “based on a fallacy” and that documents included in his own lawsuit “eviscerate” his case.

Limp Bizkit are back in the studio recording the follow-up to 2021’s Still Sucks.

Frontman Fred Durst offered the update on Instagram, where he shared a story of John Otto tracking drums for the new material.

“Oh shit, in the studio with John Otto … we ’bout to lay it down with those drumsticks dawg,” said Durst in the clip. “Let’s get that funky funky. Let’s get that Limp Bizkit popping off.”

While no music can be heard, a second clip did feature Otto playing a snappy, pocketed beat, with Durst adding the caption: “Human Drum Machine.”

The nu-metal band appears to be using its downtime between tours to record new material. Durst and company do have a busy 2025 itinerary ahead, including an upcoming European/UK run and North American dates supporting Metallica’s “M72” tour (get tickets here).

Fred Durst, of Limp Bizkit fame, has ventured into indie films with impressive performances in "I Saw the TV Glow" and "Y2K."

Believe it or not, Fred Durst is still making music, and he's added something else to his artistic portfolio as well. There are a few ways people may know the name Fred Durst. Most notably, he's the lead singer of the controversial nu-metal band Limp Bizkit.

He added: "You can't push away the people who helped you get there. The fans should know that if two-fifths of the original band are not playing at the concerts, it wont be truthful to them."
