I'm stoked and thankful to work with the following companies:

This video was filmed, edited, engineered, mixed, mastered, and produced in its entirety by Cobus Potgieter. I know that seems like a weirdly self-serving sentence to put in here, but I just like the fact that we don't need a full production team to make high quality content - if I can do it, you can too!
Filmed and recorded in Los Angeles, California, USA.
This is a 100% acoustically recorded and mixed performance: no drum replacement or triggering was used.

What up from 2023 Cobus 👋🏼 If you liked this video: I just uploaded a video where I learn an A7X video from the latest album! If you're keen, watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVf0dSUJIrY

I remember being a teenager watching the original video, 14 years later still awesome, The Rev would be proud.
-
when he put on the white wrist sweatbands on, a couple of tears starting falling from my eyes. I still remember the day you upload the first cover of this song! Because of you i started playing drums. Brought back many memories. I truly thank you Cobus.
-
Dude, you don't know how much you made me emotional in this. I started to play drums because you covered this song 12 years ago. I showed my friends that video and told them I'm gonna play it myself. I mastered the song a year after, all because of you. So thank you, man. And those wristbands... just pure nostalgia 😭😭😭
-
I lost it at the "bell" at 1:42. Brilliant!🤣You nailed this cover all those years ago, and it's even better now. Killer as always
-
shit, now I have to reschedule mine for tomorrow brother! hahahahahahahah what an amazing coincidence! Looking forward to this, Take good care!
-
Ah not only a tune that defined pretty much all my teenage years, but I THINK this was the first cover I saw of yours back in the day. Multiple reasons for me to be VERY excited about this!
-
Look at those stick tricks!🔥🔥🔥
-
The Rev vocal always have and will always give me chill damn ... R.I.P JIMMY
-
Your original cover was the reason I started doing my own.. I remember posting on Facebook saying "I need to get up to this guy's level. ...I have yet to, specially not after seeing this video, so can you like.. I don't know.. Let me catch up or something? 🤣 Hats off, my dude.

This man plays with love. Watching him play is like walking through a park and seeing a father throwing a baseball with his son. You're not quite sure why it makes you feel good on the inside, but it does. When somebody is doing what they truly love, it somehow leaks into the air and become contagious to the point where you can't help but smile and feel what they are feeling in that moment.

What kind of non-appreciating music, drumming, A7V person can give this video a thumbs down? Cobus is one of the best drummers (COVER AND ORIGINAL MATERIAL) that I've heard EVER. I've been listening for several years. I even have a set of signed sticks that he gave away about 9 years ago and I keep them prestine because I'm not worthy of playing drums with them!
-
Yo why tf am I only seeing this now?? There was seriously a teardrop in my eye when you put those armbands on my dude. Been watching you since 2009 and have followed you ever since. Even started learning how to play drums at the time, and am now teaching my goddaughter the basics. All thanks to you Cobus!!
-
DAMMNNN WHEN HE PULLED OUT THOSE BLACK STICKS... MAN IT HIT HARD
-
4:55 dude I have the biggest smile on my face. Wow, so much nostalgia! Grew up watching you and to see that little throwback is so awesome. You the man Cobus, always be here to support you!
-
Only a true fan would remember when you released this cover 12 years ago… I sure as heck do. What a progression!
-
Legend....🔥🔥🔥 Pertama kali nonton drum cover di YouTube cobus sekitar tahun 2009, dan masih yang terbaik 🔥🔥🔥 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩❤️❤️❤️
-
At first. I watched your video covering umbrella when i was 16. And after that, i began to learn drums until now. I feel the joy and superb when i play the drum. That because of you Cobus! You are my inspiration!
-
So much nostalgia.The wrist armbands are legit. It's been 12 years the drum beats even getting so amazing played by you Cobus. You're always the best for me no matter what. 🇵🇭
-
You sir are a legend. No joke, Jimmy Sullivan and Joey Jordison were the two drummers who got me interested in drumming, but your cover of this exact song was what pushed me over the edge to the point where I decided to start playing myself all those years ago. I'm proud to say you've been one of my biggest inspirations, and you still are to this day. The recent news of Joey passing threw me into a tailspin, realizing that two of the three people I admire the most in this regard are gone now, but this video, revisiting the song, brought me some genuine joy. Great job, thank you Cobus for everything you've done for the whole community. ♥
