Cop Rock: Mountie Hops On The Drum Kit And Jams

When Constable Douglas Sokoloski showed up at a jam session in the woods in Alberta, the musicians thought they'd done something wrong. It turns out the Constable just wanted to jam. In the video below, Sokoloski messes around on guitar for a bit, then switches over the drums and rocks out.

The video was posted by Shawn Salberg, who lives in Lethbridge. We spoke with Shawn, and he says the media attention he's received is "all very surreal" - he's been interviewed by various television networks and local radio stations since the video went viral. Shawn is also going to try and reach out to the Constable to organize another jam session: "I plan on trying to give him a call early next week ... Hopefully he will be up for a second jam!"

Check out the Constable's drum skills below:
