VIRTUAL REALITY Drum Cover (Opposite The Other - Stutter Love)

- SONG: Opposite the Other - Stutter Love

A few weeks ago, I was planning on shooting my first ever drum cover in Virtual Reality (specifically VR180). I thought that it might be cool to cover (and give exposure to!) a song by a relatively unknown/indie artist, instead of covering Justin Bieber or The Beatles (you know). So, I asked fans and supporters and subscribers to submit their own original music, and within the first 24 hours... I received almost 400 submissions. I did NOT expect this madness.. so I quickly got to listening through them, and I was blown away by the amount of killer songs you guys submitted.

I picked this song by Opposite the Other, which is a band started by Samuel Burger. I've actually been aware of Samuel for a while and loved his music, so this was such a fun track to cover.

The response was such a rad surprise, and because you guys submitted so many epic submissions, I've decided to record two more videos like this: two more drum covers featuring songs submitted by subscribers. STOKED!

I thought you were going to be playing a VR drum kit instead 😅

[angelcanatta]

Wow the sound of the drums in this enviroment, actually sounds like a studio, Great Cover!!!

[LukeDatema]

Your kit in a forest sounds better than mine in a studio 😒😂 Great playing, man.

[chrishaigh]

Mate... Your playing never ceases to amaze me. Watching your journey for 10 years now and you’ve been a huge inspiration for me as a drummer. Vox Populi, This is War and 21 Pilot medley are my favourites of your covers… check em’ out people if you haven’t already! You always find the tastiest most musical ideas in your covers and I love the detail you put into micing/mixing/tuning/filming and lighting. But thanks for the inspiration bro. Never stop posting 🙏

Cobus is one of my favorite drummers. I wish the camera was back a bit for this shoot.

[matthewleininger]

This is literally the coolest video I’ve ever watched!! Love the VR and the song!! (And of course the drums🤙🏻)

[nateshearer]

Not gonna lie that was the most surreal and epic drum cover I've seen. The song, the tune of the drums, the drumming, and the forest. It beautiful🙌

[Rustykou]

After all this time seeing you for almost 12 years, It's unbelievable how you grew up on this plataform and ur personal carrer. You deserve the best a musician can achieve if not more, for never surrending and always doing what you love no matter what. Love from Argentina.

I love watching your videos every time you upload one. This video was very difficult to follow because of the camera movements. Aside from the camera, another amazing cover remix. You’re a massive influence on my own playing Cobus. God bless you man.

[nikhilkrishnav]

Thanks for introducing me this underrated amazing band, Cobus. And drum cover superb as usual! :)

[alejandromayorga]

Man It's amazing, thanks for sharing this song though, added to my Spotify songs :D

[gverran]

Hi Cobus, such an awesome drum cover and thank you for picking this song and bringing it to our attention. There are so many great South African bands out there that many of us aren't even aware of. Cheers from Cape Town.

[HalfCycle]

BRO I CANNOT STOP SMILING THIS IS THE BEST THING FOR FUTURE TECHNOLOGY PLEASE DO A SERIES OF COVERS WITH THIS

[SteveCoxDrums]

Awesome tune, brother!! Drums sound so good, can't get over that hi-hat either. So crispy!! 👌
