This is a drum cover of RJA's song, Face Down. AWESOME song, insane drumming, loved covering this, one of my all-time favorites.
I have to emphasize, I know calling this a "cover" is wrong, seeing as I only PARTLY stayed true to the song's drums, through the WHOLE song i play some variations of the beats, phrasing and fills, I'm NOT aiming to be accurate to the original drums, I'm just aiming to enjoy myself.. :) And I thouroughly succeeded in doing that, I might add ;)

TECHNICAL INFO
Drumkit:
Tama Superstar Custom; in the Blue Metallic Fade
Heads:
Toms TOP: Remo Powerstroke 3, Clear.
Toms BOTTOM: stock heads.
Snare TOP: Remo Emperor, Coated.
Snare BOTTOM: stock head.
Bassdrum BATTER: Remo Powerstroke 4, Clear.
Cymbals:
Paiste PST 5 UNIVERSAL setup:
14" Hats
16" Crash
20" Ride
Secondary Crash: Sabian XS20 Medium-Thin 16" Crash
(please note the toms are tuned and equalized for RECORDING purposes, live they need to be tuned a lot more "open" to sound as good as in the recording. and yes, the kit DOES sound that good live :) i had almost NO equalising on the drums themselves, and ONLY removed some low frequencies from the overheads. basically i only levelled the mix and applied compression.)
RECORDING
I miced each individual drum (snare top AND bottom were miced), plus two overheads, ran this through a mixer, got a decent mix and recorded with ONLY ONE stereo channel.. no multitrack recorder(s) :) I compressed the final mix to HELL.. to get a more aggressive sound, to make it sit better in with the original song (and hopefully overpower the original drums), detailed compression settings: 20:1 with a threshold of -20db and a compensation gain of 15db, with both separate channels (LEFT and RIGHT, from the mixer) sent to a stereo sub-group, and the compression settings applied to THIS group, it gave a nice compact and aggressive result.. further mastering was needed to equalize the final mix and control peak levels and such, to have it fit in with the original music track.

@denisfulling3601 8 лет назад

I think even now after so many years of playing it will be hard for him to nail it that way even with tons more techniques and skills. This is pure passion and fun, my all time favorit cobus video!

@cheynecasino2113 7 лет назад

Yes Agree! I was a fan of cobus for many years now and I revisited his video. I was amazed how passionate he was when he started. You can feel the intensity. Recover!

And now, here I am, 17 years old, 5 hours away from our band's first major gig. We are representing our school in a battle of the bands. I just want to thank you, Cobus, for helping me get this far. I really, really appreciate it. I wouldn't have made it this far if not for you. May you inspire more future drummers with your incredible talent. Thanks again for everything.

2023! Sometimes I forget this video for 1-2 years but eventually I come back to it and it still sends shivers down my spine, like the very first time I watched it. Awesome job, Cobus.

@livnedX7 5 лет назад

The video who inspires me (and many other) to start playing drums. Quit about a year ago because it was going nowhere, seeing this on the end of 2018 makes me wrote a note to start drumming and making music again. Thank you Cobus, you still inspires people even when you weren't even active again on youtube.

@maidenlover101 12 лет назад

one thing i will always love about cobus, is that he has such a passion for the music he plays. you see other drummers online and their all stiff and look so blank and just move their arms for the playing. cobus puts his all into it and enjoys what hes doing and you can just tell he is having the time of his life doing it

@PushingDaisiesBand Год назад

I remember being in Grade 8 and just learning how to play a simple beat on the drums and showing my Dad with all of the enthusiasm in the world, my new favourite dude on RU-vid! This was in 2006 and I was lucky enough to meet the guy in Cape Town in 2020. Thanks for a lifetime of inspiration, Mr. Potgieter.

@xXDragunov25Xx 11 лет назад

Four years ago, the 13 year old me first found this video, the stick flip at 1:23 is what ignited my passion for drums. I started learning the drums by myself although I don't have my own set. I learned so much watching your covers, especially the tutorials. About a year later, my friend (our bassist) allowed me to practice with his drum set. It was a basic one but it was more than enough for me. Soon after, we formed a band consisting of classmates and friends. All is going well.

@pesquios 13 лет назад

I remember this was the first of your covers that I saw. Since then,I knew you would go big dude,you deserve it.

Hey, girl, you know you drive me crazy One look puts the rhythm in my hand Still I'll never understand why you hang around I see what's going down Cover up with make-up in the mirror Tell yourself, it's never gonna happen again You cry alone and then he swears he loves you Do you feel like a man when you push her around? Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground? Well, I'll tell you, my friend, one day this world's gonna end As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect Every action in this world will bear a consequence If you wade around forever, you will surely drown I see what's going down I see the way you go and say you're right again Say you're right again Heed my lecture Do you feel like a man when you push her around? Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground? Well, I'll tell you, my friend, one day this world's gonna end As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found Face down in the dirt She said, "This doesn't hurt" She said, "I finally had enough" Face down in the dirt She said, "This doesn't hurt" She said, "I finally had enough" One day she will tell you that she has had enough [Album version:] It's coming round again [Music video version:] He's coming round again Do you feel like a man when you push her around? Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground? Well, I'll tell you, my friend, one day this world's gonna end As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found Do you feel like a man when you push her around? Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground? Well, I'll tell you, my friend, one day this world's gonna end As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found Face down in the dirt She said, "This doesn't hurt" She said, "I finally had enough"

You're at an even now with who you are as a drummer and who you knew you would become. Congrats Cobus, keep up the fantastic work

@sincitysinner9239 7 лет назад

Cobus you are fucking amazing brother!! I just read an article in drum magazine about Cobus, and I thought he was awesome before the article, but learning what I did, your drum skills are simply amazing. The fact that he never played drums until he was 16, he doesn't know how to read music, never had a drum lesson, and was discouraged by his conservative family from playing the drums and instead was expected to study engineering. Cobus is truly a one of a kind artist, and a true testament that you can become an excellent musician if you are passionate and willing to put the hard work and time into your craft. This guy deserves way more acclaim and attention than he gets and definitely would make an excellent drummer for any band.

@doinkydeano2226 5 лет назад

I know you commented this a year ago, but i read that article as well and it goes to show that even when parents are against you, if you go with that little things inside you what could happen. It's insane to see what Cobus is now in the drum world
