This is the drums-only version of this cover:

Just a quick note on the mix, because I think many may be thinking this: yes, the mix is incredibly aggressive and also over-compressed. Hearing the drum mix by itself will actually give you a very good idea what it takes to mix an additional layer of drums (mine!) into an existing and, essentially, finished song:
Kick, snare and toms, are LOUD and especially articulate. The mix is also very bright. This coupled with a slight high-pass filter on the track underneath immediately makes my drums pop out more, and without this approach my drum mix would be drowned out by the already loudly mastered version of the original track. My goal is to get the track underneath as loud as possible (for full immersion) while still hearing every note I am playing on the drums. Tricky balance, and very subjective!
Stoked to make these drums-only mixes and videos available to you guys! It should make some things a bit clearer.

I thought I might get bored of a cover without music, but wow...

[@dbzboy50208]

We've missed you Cobus! It's great to see you back. :^)

[@atAlyssabeth]

100% agreed

[@AHairyApe]

THOSE GHOST NOTES OH MY GOD

[@Mattb6288]

You seriously have the best sounding drums I've ever heard.

[@camu123789]

[@gumbyBR2C]

Those fucking toms sound so good

[@drumbum0527]

[@dndgav]

Insane as ever.

[@venezuelasos9766]

I love the way you play the drums, I would like to reach your level one day! God bless you.!!

[@Snarea51]

KILLIN IT!

[@abigailramirez4040]

Amazing!

[@blakef.8566]

Best sounding set ever.

[@Mayhemzz]

I'd honestly kill to see you cover something from Tool or Rush.

[@MATTlovesDRUMS]

I don't think he will. I've never seen him do anything like that

[@Mayhemzz]

***** Which is exactly why I'd love to see him do it..

[@MATTlovesDRUMS]

I don't think he'd be that great at it. No offence to Cobus but he really only covers today's popular music

[@ay_ayron4615]

***** Its for marketing purposes ;)

[@yagnarabdonats2584]

Wow, those toms sound amazing! dat 3:05 though. Tutorial Video for the win!

[@bearodriguez7958]

just awsome

[@Eric_DiRisio]

Steven Slate, I hear you. those Toms are HUGE

[@joanneestillore3898]

I love the way you play drums. I play drums too! And I always watch your videos. I love the sound of your drums. For me, you're the god of all drummers here on youtube. Please make a cover of 42 and six by tool. Or any songs by tool. Keep on rockin' Cobus! :)

[@MathewxThexHuman]

0:55 love that stick flip

[@calebvandervelde]

[@vonrus89]

Faaantastic.

[@frankx.lozano5658]

whens the full version coming out??

[@MrsKingDice]

Beautiful :D

[@gersonhernandez426]

wow!!

[@StevennClark]

I'm loving these drum only version's!! I always wondered how you got your snare sound, but it sounds like you use a lot of overheads and room mic's in your mix?

[@cobus]

TONS of room mics in the mix! Took me years to figure out that THAT's where the real snare sound comes from. This room was very small, and almost completely acoustically dead/dry, so I set up two wide mics as room mics, and simulated a bigger room size with reverb. Don't worry, I plan on making very detailed "making of" segments on this series, on the video and the audio side of things, so I'll elaborate further on that soon!

[@StevennClark]

cobus Awesome!! Thanks for the info. I'm going to try that out now lol

[@TheAndyking1990]

Cobus This comment has saved my sanity. Been trying to get a snare sound im happy with for months and sending some of the overheads to a reverb channel has really brought life to the snare. It sounds awesome :D! Any news on more "making of" videos?

[@makayla4504]

+Steven Clark me to

[@TheKays]

Epiccc :}

[@TheGunfighter19]

Hey cobus! Have you heard of streetlight manifesto? I think you'd have a lot of fun in "that'll be the day" or "everything went numb" I know I have fun!

[@AlexDamgaard]

1:58 that smile haha or dance or groovedance or whatever it is, it's smile'able xD

[@soup_.69]

Lol iK it’s kinda weird tbh

[@brandonleevlogs1238]

I wish I had a drum set like that but I have one at home😳

[@yagnarabdonats2584]

Please make a tutorial of the fill in 3:05 :( 2 years have passed and I'm still hoping for a tutorial vid for this. Pleaeassseseseseasaease cobuuuuuuuuus!!!

[@FeyrezPlays]

2:34 FTW! :D

[@reviewman1444]

Nice

[@scottcartwright8824]

darm that great

[@davinalex]

would it be possible if you could breakdown the tom and bass pedal fill after the bridge? (after you mute and play the ride)

[@jodieclay2095]

You are the best

[@danielmtinez9921]

he has good skills

[@BlackenedNL]

3:05 yeaaaaaaaaaaaah buddy!!!!

[@saramusic06]

Please post this video again !! But with the track bc youtube has been removed! And some videos are not avaliable to cellphone :/

[@saramusic06]

+Carlos GFX © i know but he made another video with the track and it was removed.

[@HiMyNameIsCT]

What mix do you have coming in through your in-ears? Is it just the song? Or the song, a click, and drums altogether?

[@Zhaggysfaction]

Sylar is that you?

[@dontcryoverspiltmilk]

Hey Cobus do you think it would be possible to write out the lick at 2:35 or just do a walk through of it??

[@LapYinBrooks]

fucking genius

[@keithburgess1567]

you must do some rush covers that would be awesome....x

[@firepants20]

Eargasm

[@thyssnyders7029]

Cobus jy is n inspirasie vir alle drommers

[@Melaine360]

I love you

[@ShallBePurified]

I prefer this song without the song and only Cobus on the drums.

[@mofreljnr]

Dude, the original is blocked in the UK because of copy right, any way that's something you can sort out?

[@firepants20]

Now I have a legitimate question as I am a drummer but I am not fully knowledgeable about kits. Is there any way to tune a bass drum to get this sound or is it a specific kick drum you need for it? I love this kick and I want it so bad.

[@mistervecher]

I guess you can tune it to sound somewhat close to this but what makes his kick sound so good is the mic. A good mic and hands of a GOOD SOUND GUY can change the sound of your drum drastically! In reality his kit doesn't sound as good as it does on a video, though I bet it is still sounds fantastic!

[@d.v5237]

Vadim Vecher The first thing that makes a drum sound good is the drum itself, the way he tunes it and the way plays it, not the engineering beside.

[@ScottMapex]

DrummerDenver Yes for sure. Firstly comes the tuning. And also the skins being used. But EQ and compression can do wonders for any drum kit.

[@jessondrums]

get yourself a good batter head, for example an Evans Emad 2 or aquarian super kick 2 or remo power stroke 3 - anything similar down to preference really. - you dont necessarily need a super expensive mic, like other people have said EQ works absolute wonders, even in basic programs like garage band. Its going to sound like that through a live recording or similar through a PA, it doesn't sound like that acoustically with your own ears in the room with it. It'll still sound good though lol.

[@thegsalmon]

yeah eq compression mic placement mic selection, heads, tuning,or the lazy way triggers what I do is get a a trigger and a mic and blend them both so that the trigger does the attack sound and the mic adds the tone of your bass drum and fullness

[@user-qu3hw1wp7w]

💥👍👍👍👍👍💥

[@odressing2462]

Beste

[@jaceard6880]

3:05 yall.

[@danielmtinez9921]

I wish I could do that

[@ureat7459]

Don't get me wrong but I feel weird when it's only drum without music

[@soup_.69]

Exactly

[@andressblabla]

What happened to the video with the music? Why was it taken out?

[@bercerobry]

+Eu tenho lag copyright issues maybe..

[@user-fx7ud7so1w]

hey cobus you should try playing some slipknot and just go crazy!

[@scottcartwright8824]

skill

[@SplitTheBeat]

Dat heel-toe technique tho

[@mathiasvbl]

If you did rosetta stoned by Tool i Would be able to die happy!

[@amazingdrumvideos12x24]

ADC.

[@NMartin3]

Cobus is the best

[@wojticz3754]

This is very sad to listen videos without music. Because of that you didnt have 3 or more milions subs. But i understand that is all about the copy rights?

[@ToxxiczzHD]

gg

[@TheET121]

[@ToxxiczzHD]

[@OrgasmicPotatoe]
