I'm stoked to work with the following companies:
DW Drums & Hardware
Sabian Cymbals
Evans Drumheads
Promark Sticks
Earthworks Microphones
Audix Microphones
Alclair In-Ear Monitors
Arturia
Presonus
GoPro
VEGAS Pro (video editing)
Steinberg Cubase (recording & mixing)
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. There isn't much that you can't learn with a good ol' Google search. Except how to stop being a terrible person. Jk you're not a terrible person. Or maybe you are, honestly I have no idea. I don't think you are, though. Terrible people don't read this far into meaningless YouTube video descriptions. I love you.
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 66SAMUS (jk your content is amazing and I don't actually know how to trigger drums).

- Doing something a little different this week - more groove, less fills, same amount of stank face.
In August I got to attend a live recording of Lauren's Christmas special, and you guys, she is just *insanely good*. Next level live vocals and SUCH a crazy good band - I'm still recovering from jazz envy (her drummer is phenomenal). The live recording is called "Christmas Under the Stars with Lauren Daigle" and it's premiering tonight (like, three hours from now) on @BYUtv and you can watch it *FOR FREE* on either the BYU website or the BYU app (links below) - go watch it and send me a comment if you see me in the audience! Merry (early) Christmas and enjoy the show!

What a wild year it's been so far! Holy crap I miss making videos for you guys. I started making videos in 2006 out of pure curiosity and wanting to share how happy drums made me, and from my heart of hearts: I'd love to keep doing that.
I've worked my South African butt off at making my Patreon page as valuable as possible (TONS of exclusive content, lessons, vlogs, etc) so if you've ever enjoyed any of my videos over the past 14 years, please check it out! Even $5 a month will make a HUGE difference and will get me one step closer to making videos again.
Mad love for you guys. And who even reads video descriptions anymore? You, that's who. Because you win at life. Thank you a flippin ton for being here, I am hopeful and stoked to be able to make more videos soon. Stay safe and healthy and talk soon!

I love just jamming on the kit, but the thought of playing a solo for the purpose of "impressing" people terrifies me, because I'd much rather play along to music and riff off that. I'm really self-critical, so the thought of having to play a "flawless solo" with zero mistakes is kind of paralysing, it's difficult for me just to have fun when I'm more focused on not making mistakes.
That's the primary reason why I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that I mess up in this video. And right at the end too, haha! It keeps my ego in check. I find that I only stress about not making mistakes when my goal is to impress people, when my goal is to use drumming to prop up my ego. But when I'm free from that pressure, when I give myself the freedom to make mistakes, when I accept that mistakes have absolutely zero meaningful impact on my life, then it actually makes everything SO MUCH MORE FUN. Weirdly enough, the vulnerability to be ok with mistakes actually makes it MORE powerful and enjoyable, not less. What a weird paradox. So that's my intention here, and I love that this isn't perfect.
It also just so happens to be filmed in Virtual Reality 😎 Enjoy!

- SONG: Opposite the Other - Stutter Love
open.spotify.com/artist/3YPzVOVeAXdzhmnffu1WjZ
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!

BREAKING BENJAMINNNNN. Man. This band. Love 'em. But these short sentences. Hate 'em. Ok I'll stop.
I was lucky enough to hunt down a drumless version of this song, which made mixing this so, SO much easier. Drumless versions are super rare (I usually just do drum covers with the normal full-band mixes that everybody else has access to) but when I do get one, it makes it possible to really crank the music and the drums still sit really nicely in the mix. Stoked with how this one turned out.
Playing wise there's not too much going on here, I stayed mostly consistent with the drum parts, except for a few fun patterns here and there. The double cymbal grab at 1:29 might have been my favourite part of this video to play, and the linear fill at the end of the verse was super fun too. Hertas and cymbal grabs. Can't get enough.
You're rad. Thanks for reading this and for being here. Have an awesome day.

This is something a little different.
I grew up in South Africa.
I've lived in Los Angeles for the past 7 years.
I usually go back to SA once a year to see my friends and my family and my home country.
When I went back to SA in February of 2019, I scheduled two drum clinics there. These would be my first time ever "playing drums professionally" in the country where I was born, where I started playing drums, and where I started recording drumming videos. I called my good friend Howard (a great filmmaker and a spectacular human being), told him about this, and asked if he would be interested in finding & telling a story within this weird set of circumstances.
Howard excitedly agreed, found a story, shot it, and masterfully produced this short film. More than anything, he captured how this crazy drum cover/social media story of mine has reached so much further than I ever planned or anticipated, that it certainly changed my life, but that so many things are also still the same.
This is an ode to creatives, dreamers, immigrants, musicians, those who feel like they don't quite fit in, the passionate ones, the introverts.
If you've found even a shred of entertainment or inspiration from any of my videos, then this story is just as much yours as it is mine. Thanks for being here, from the bottom of my heart.

MAN! Back at it! Also back at writing video descriptions. It's been a while :)
What do I write here? A more detailed description of the recording process? A summary of how I'm feeling? (If you're wondering: I'm feeling hungry). Or do I write something entertaining? Does this work? I'm so hungry that I'm struggling to think straight, so in order to post this video asap and go get some food, I'll just write a few things that come to mind:
* BAT COUNTRY FINALLY WITH THE DOUBLE KICK HOLLAAAAAAA
* This is definitely my most over-played cover of all time. No shame. Come at me bro.
* These GoPro's I'm using are about 5 years old and I'm starting to notice. Anybody got any hookups or ideas for new cameras?
* Food. Just thinking about food in general. About eating it. And so forth.
* I tuned the snare too high.. it took me AGES to get it to breathe and sit right in the mix. That said, I love how the mix turned out, even though it took a TON of work. You live and you learn. Unless you're an amoeba, they live but I don't think they have the cerebral capacity to learn.
* I recorded this song for the first time more almost 12 years ago. Isn't that insane? Time flies. Life goes by fast. I'm a really thankful dude.
Ok that's it, time for food. THANK YOU for reading this, for watching this video, for sticking around. You just watched me play the drums and have fun, so it's almost like we shared a cool little connection around enjoying drums and music (even if you live halfway around the world). I think that's kinda cool. Thanks for being here, have an awesome rest of your day, and take good care of yourself.
But seriously though, food.

I know drummers obsess over the mix in review videos (and rightfully so) since it's quite tempting to get a stylised or "better than real life" mix of a drum or cymbal by removing some overtones. The mix you hear in this video is mostly overheads and room mics, to get as natural a sound as possible. I did use some of the close mic on the snare for body and punch, and it is slightly EQ'd, but mostly just to get rid of the proximity effect. Some drummers/engineers think that if you leave all the mic levels even and unequalized/compressed it would be the most natural sound, but if you think about it, the mics are right next to the drums, and our ears never are. So it takes a little bit of mixing to get it to sound natural and organic, which is what you hear here. Light compression on the room mics and snare close mic, and some multiband compression on the overall drum mix. This snare really sounds this sharp and "shotgunny".

#QuicklyCovered is a really simple idea: I ask you guys to suggest and vote for a song you want me to cover, and then I learn it, cover it, film it and finish it before the day is over. It forces me to move really fast and removes the temptation to over-think - kind of like the old days of YouTube when I just started uploading covers :) This was fun. More to come.
