Lighting by Jose Altonaga.

This video is part of The 101 Series and was filmed, edited, engineered, mixed, mastered, and produced in its entirety by Cobus Potgieter.

Quite a while ago I did another song by these rad dudes, Freestyler.. and it was one of the first times where I felt I covered a song that hadn't really been covered on the drums before. These covers have always been a creative outlet more than anything, and doing Freestyler as creatively as I could (at the time!) and seeing the response, really opened up my perspective to try playing drums along to any and everything I possibly wanted to. Rad feeling.

So.. in continuing this approach, I took another Bomfunk MC's track, and tried giving it a unique spin as well. I stumbled onto the groove in the first verse and was immediately amped about it, LOVE the vibe between the two sets of hats! I also borrowed from another cover of mine (Tik Tok) for one of the B-sections, altered the groove slightly, but the pattern between the bell and the snare is pretty much the same.

All in all really happy with this, such such a fun song to play with! There's just something SO rad about writing drums for something that didn't have drums in it before you started playing. Awesome feeling.

Thumbs up if you're watching this in 2021 😎

Yeah I totally agree with you, he has supported and been a role model to so many people... I don't know can he even imagine how many guys and girls he has helped =) I just keep hoping that he never quits putting these drum videos to you tube cause this inspires so many people. Cobus has helped me so much and I'm going to buy my own drum mics this week and I will start my own you tube career. Thank you Cobus !

[erjabrify]

He IS talented but remember he worked and still is working realllly hard to get where he is now and beyond! Keep it up Cobus and keep practicing, drummers around the world!!

[BFMVrocks]

Cobus, your such a talented drummer and honestly i watch your videos of bands and music i really don't like but i still love it cause your soo talented and your very entertaining to watch, just keep doing what you're doing!

[timoam]

Haha Yes this man is a very great role model not just for young drummers such as myself but aspiring musicians of all ages. I really love the way he brings his love and passion into a drum video for us all to share. You sir are my favorite drummer of all time!

[Zhaggysfaction]

This is actually first time that someone actually explains it in more detail than just "YouTube can't keep up". Thank you for that.

Damn! i really love this series, please tell me it's not over yet. simply love them

[WhiteBlue]

I don't think I'm ever gonna get over how crazy good you are, wow!

[Hotshot]

To be honest this is one of my favourite tracks which Cobus has covered in the series, simply because of all the techniques, ideas and movements he makes like how he chokes the cymbals, plays between the two hats, and also sticking close to the heavy beat of the song which plays a HUGE part because thats where the real fun from playing it comes from :)

[Fanaticnd]

One of my favourite drum cover videos by far

[SPSNIPER]

I am a huge fan of bomfunk MCs a nice group when I was a teenager, but these drums are awesome... they really give this number a Boost :D

[sammycadour]

Excellent, you're one of the best drummers ever.

[sugarth]

one of the best drum session from The Amazing Cobus!

[RaaschMedia]

Sick intro! I love how musical you're playing style is along with your attention to detail. You really make the drums an instrument (not just something people hit) which is really cool! Congrats on another great video!
