Stewart's talents as a drummer are legendary. He's repeatedly named in many "Top 10" lists of drummers and cited as an influence and inspiration by many of today's top stickmen (and women).

Stewart's early years growing up in the Middle East certainly have an influence in the rhythms he plays, perhaps more so than the reggae beats of the Caribbean often associated with The Police's music.
