A true, great drummer will leave the flaws dropping the stick in the video to show that even the best drummers can make mistakes and it's ok.

+wira aditama Iknow right, it makes it sound funny

I wonder how one notates left hand readjusting glasses....

@cobus just wanted to let you know im a 27 yr old marine corps vet just bought a drumset about 6 mos ago and watching your videos have turned my love for the drums into a passion and an obsession. My family hates me now.

The sound of that bell could just be the most beautiful sound in the world... Could listen to it all day

These videos show how much of a human he is, and not just an image on a screen. People can relate and thats what keeps their attention. Plus ***** is one of my drumming idols next to Mike Portnoy and Mike Mangini.

No it's real

I can really appreciate that this video gives a much better look at your kit, it makes it seem real for once instead of looking SO AMAZING under all the lighting and editing! Makes it all just look that much more normal for once :)

Cobus you are amazing and a large influence on my drumming. Thank you for making these videos and I look forward to more!

He's using a single pedal o.O

Yes,sometimes he used double pedal..but well,is true that he can make great things also with one pedal. And in this video he demostrates it so fuckin' well.

Ah the struggle of drumming with glasses. I know it well ^_^

Damn man every time you get on the drums you just straight kill it. Thanks for the inspiration man! All drummers need some Cobus in their Lives.

what makes him so much better is the fact that through all of that he still has time to adjust his glasses and not mess up! what a G.

This guy is a beast even in 2011

u cant really call this practice, its just jamming

Why is it so unbelievable that I'd be on the same level as a now famous drummer 4 years ago? I've been playing longer but I'm not as good, how is that unbelieveable? o_O No trust anywhere lol

I'd say even jamming could be considered as practice, because as long as you improve, it's pretty much practice :).

i believe "warm-up" is the word lol

Cobus is freaking amazing. I'm a 14 year old kid who has been drumming for a couple years, self taught. 90% by watching online videos of cobus and following him hugely. Thank you cobus, you are my inspiration.

i love the way he never does the same thing in ever solo video he experiments around the kit and they always sound immense he is awesome

I like being able to watch him just groove because it shows how much actually technique he has apposed to just following drum cover!

I can't even imagine just sitting down and being able to improv all of this like it's nothing... he's just playing around.. self esteem lowered. Sounds great as always

only a true king of drumming can repeatedly arrange his glasses throughout and still make it sounds great!

1.) Cobus is amazing. 2.) He dropped his stick in the beginning which was hilarious :D 3.) The one-handed playing with the top & bottom of his stick was just amazing. 4.) Notice how he always has to fix his glasses. Trademark right there!

the fact that this session is six minutes and nine seconds long makes it 100 times better.

ur drum kit is blowing my freaking mind right now it sounds so freaking awesome i love that flipping drum kit

youre snare , youre toms , youre bass drum, all of youre drumkit, that ABSOLUTELY the song that i looking for :' ) f*cking great sound man !!

every day I am amazed at this guy .... so I think I see why ...

I practice that all the time. I saw him practicing it and it really inspired me.

the sound of the kit is AMAZING...

nothing like having the man who makes the drums tune them...oh perfection . :D

One of the best drummers on KZread! 👏🏻

I watch Cobus' videos probably twice a week or so. Start drumming when I was 5, but I haven't been able to touch a kit since I was 13 since my dad had to sell them to pay off some debts. I miss it soooo much.

That's one gorgeous drumkit you have there, Mr. Potgieter!

I found this guy and have been watching his vids for a bit and uh... Damn... lol. I love how in this one he is fast enough to keep playing drums faster and better than like 95% of pro drummers while still fixing his glasses every, oh say 20 seconds lmao

I . JUST . DIED.... Awesome video man! Massive fan of your stuff

Its not about his technical skill but about his creativity with most of his covers that make me like him

any1 can just scrumle anything with drums..... but you, you make that sound awsome!!!!!

i love the way he has the time to push his glasses up mid role. respect

mistakes may come often but in your skill i really appreciate it hope i'll be like you someday. more power to you dude.

Gosh Cobus I would really love to meet a drummer like you some day. I look up to you. I will never be as good of a drummer as you are but i will always try. I love your style and every song you cover. Thank you. Drew Blanchard. :)

i like every beat and every fill of this solo,good job cous :DDDDDDDDD

i meant cobus sorryXD

inspirational, im sure if i watch this video a couple times i will learn more than a month of drum classes

This is so awesome that my bar at the bottom of the video that shows the time has actually frozen at 0.00! think it wants this video to go on forever!!

That begining killed me!! Was so funny :D Quality drummer, inspirational!

Respect him. As a drummer myself, I can actually understand that this talent is really something to behold.

Those fills are amazing.

omg I absolutely love the icon stack, i wonder if it would work with any other manufactured/sized cymbals

Cobus, You're awesome. It's cool to have watched you succeed as a drummer :)

Love that bell!!

Not only was that amazing, of course, but I also found it amazing of how many times you readjusted your glasses. :P

@volcom80912 not really at the moment, triplets are quite high on the list right now. also really focusing on my left hand, getting the ghost notes more even. I've also been neglecting my single strokes for a LONG time, so I've been trying to get them a bit cleaner and faster. I've dabbled a bit with 7/8 recently, will venture there in the next little video.

Cobus loves his drums PERIOD!

amazing cymbals!

Cobus, you are the reason I strive to be the best drummer in my area.

cobus you're kit it sounding freaking awesome even without mics

This is 1000% productive! He is practicing his drum beats and his speed around the drumset

Great drumming by the way! Much love!

amazing talent, especially when you consider he's only been playing for 10 years or so...great feel, dynamics and chops....also, access to worlds best drummers cant hurt. He will be a monster!!

Good job, you doing very well. I love it.

@Ileikdrumzz this is a very VERY valid comment.. I've never been too good at strict "solos" because my approach to drumming is very melodic, I see different patterns and phrases in a musical context, not really a solo and stand-alone context. that definitely influences my jam sessions and solos :) I don't think that's a bad thing at all, but I agree.. it's a completely different way of soloing.

Too badass-even cooler is how you adjust your glasses in-between your playing. I do that all the time, too when I am practicing guitar. Being able to keep on beat and fix ones glasses at the same time demands extreme disciplined talent. We both know! GREAT drumming bro. Want to start a band? I live in New Mexico but have no problem working through computers. Hails from New Mexico.

Oh my gosh! Ur amazing... God Bless you. Keep playing dude... and dropping ur sticks that was funny... good job man

How.... the double kick is hard to master, but I think you've over mastered it, awesome job. You've got a great talent with the drums. Some day, I hope to be the same like you

Great skill. Even better composition.

Grande baterista , excelente técnica !!!!!

well that's just your opinion if you watch his videos from the beginning then you'll see how far this guy has come. just something to think about

5:24 WTG?!?! IVE BEEN DRUMMING FOR YEARS AND YOUR ONE HAND IS 10 TIMES BETTER THAN BOTH MY ARMS! YOU SIR ARE PHENOMENAL!!! XD

really genious as someone said early ...wow!!! especially hyper-fast pedal and one-arm hitting!!!! 0_0 BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!

@DaCheznik Its 2 cymbals put together. i dont remember what he said the size was, but the bottom is an inch bigger and he put it on upside down, then put the smaller one on top. they're trx cymbals like the rest.

love how he so casually adjusts his glasses throughout the vid!

Cobus you are sick man. you play so well.

Very good playing dude! Killin it!

good job as always cobus

most of the things I've learned are from looking this excelent drummer's videos

This guy has a pretty good groove. Keep it up man!

DAMN!!! COBUS YOU ARE SO GOOD... YOUR FOOT IS SO FAST!!!!

am now using this in my everyday sentences. thank you

I WISH MY PRACTICES WERE THIS FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!

beautiful!

awesome set

Cobus is one thing if nothing else, he's having fun. People need to lighten up, the guy has never proclaimed to be a great drummer and seems to be a pretty humble dude. Im a fan so I can lay out the basics for you. His original videos were performed, recorded and edited by him. Bands he has covered have complimented his covers. He has an education ( I believe his math skills help with the drumming :) and most importantly, he's inspirational to would be drummers. Next time guy, do some research.

I can definitly hear why you Love DW ( yes i love it to ) but damnnn Cobus your kit is sounding awesome!

My search for inspiration has come to an end :o

He plays out of this world.

soooo godly with the double heal toe.

@AnEpicMouse I was blown away too. Damn fast.

this shows so much more of his skill then his covers

That foot work is insane.

You are awesome Cobus

doubles on hi-tom, heel-toe, floor tom, GLASSES, snare, tripples on hi-hat, GLASSES, crash1, crash2, splash, DAMN GLASSES. Love how he does that :)

LOL at the beginning hahahaha. I love Cobus.

This is wisdom right here. :P It's not that people think he's the most amazing drummer ever, it's exactly like you said. Personally, I love his videos because of how much fun he seems to be having. I don't want to watch someone play an instrument with no emotion at all; that's just boring!

anybody who can wear glasses, keep the glasses on, and still drum like a beast, is worthy of being called one of the best drummers in the world

That was awesome!

cobus i hope you answer my question and my question is when you practice what do you do or what do you go through or how do you practice? Hopefully that makes sense and i think your answer would help me in my drumming skills

Que monstro ! rs quebra tudo !

man I like your cymbals..can you tell something more about them ?

nice, you are AWESOME! I hope to have the same skills as you some day.

Man I wish I had your fast hands and feet! You rock man

@rdavidr to get a feel of the time of the groove before you actually play it. only a part of drumming is "keeping time", the other parts are all musical and expressive.

Hey Cobus, I see you've been dropping some sticks lately! I found when I choked the stick at the very end I was dropping a lot more because I wasn't getting the full rebound of the stick back at me. I'm no pro, but I thought if you read these and saw this you might give it a try. :) . Cheers and happy drumming.

OMG amazing!

You can't just get enough of that bell can't you Cobus? xD
