NO drum replacement was done in this mix, this is a 100% acoustically recorded and mixed track: absolutely no supplementation, layering, or triggering was done (recorded on a DW Performance Series kit).
An enormous thanks to Bret Munoz from www.brettmunozp... for providing the cameras for this shoot, I appreciate it VERY much.

Lighting by Jose Altonaga.
Filmed and recorded in the Drum Channel Green Room, Drum Channel Studios, Oxnard, California, USA. www.drumchannel...
This video is part of The 101 Series and was filmed, edited, engineered, mixed, mastered, and produced in its entirety by Cobus Potgieter.
______________________________
I didn't stray too much from the original track in this one, there is already so much going on that I decided to just go with the flow and play the phrases that Dominic Howard wrote, that already compliment the song so well.
There are a few fills here and there that I loooove, though.. like I mentioned in the BTS video of this cover, I improvise 99% of my fills.. so I'm always surprised when they sound good :) FUN song, as always with Muse.

[@sntskjf]

I didn't reach a minute of listening to his drumming and is already on of my favourite drummers!! he plays with soul and has fun when he plays, I think he enjoys it and is what many drum players have lost. Such creativity and spirit, keep on man!!

[@bgirlsweetmuser]

okay now can you cover Muse's Map of the Problematique? would really love to see that! 😁

[@omarshahnawaz3659]

I'd love to see city of delusion

[@emilandresen7577]

@@omarshahnawaz3659 yes please. One of my favourites from them.

[@FIintztone]

The way you move around the drum set is so smooth and appealing to the eye!

[@geno6288]

I first listened to this cover 6 years ago, i'm so happy to find this again, it still gives me chills just to see him playing with such passion

[@rafiki3597]

I understand why this is the favorite song of Dom :)

[@troymellor]

Very little of this song is how dom plays it

[@indietjafs4509]

troymellor Cobus mainly edited the fills, the grooves are still pretty much the same... it is a cover after all

[@troymellor]

Nibor No they're not

[@Musabre]

troymellor Yes.... they are. It's indisputable.

[@helmmoritz2821]

Tom's Awful Videos That's the points! There are enough covers with the drummer playing exactly what dom is playing!

[@liamjohnson5087]

That outro was the best interpretation I've heard yet. This has been my favourite Muse song since release and you absolutely nailed it.

[@patriced8643]

Definitely the best Stockholm syndrome cover out there. Awesome job Cobus!

[@Cuzjudd]

I normally don't like ppl changing arrangements in covers but I enjoyed yours.

[@jhmoss124]

This cover is the reason you're my favorite drummer on KZbin

[@Joshrofllee]

0:31 to 1:03 Listen to that part over and over again. The amount of bass in that drum part is perfect.

[@nk47digitalnatives]

That fill at 3:48 is just TOO clean!

[@wirawhyra]

Nolan Krueger TOO clean dude i can't do that but i DO want to learn that

[@양윤영-r5y]

holy shit nicenicenice

[@rahrrdrums]

Love this song and the drum cover. Never heard of TRX cymbals until I started watching these covers. They sound awesome.

[@robbyatmaja6896]

you add more "colors" to the song. the original one is darker. love your fills and your interpretation on this. making me having another option of interpretation and possibilities to offer to my band mates. thanks Cobus. love the original song while loving your version also.

[@SuperUltra]

Whoever his drum tech (if it's not him) and sound engineer is, they are amazing at their jobs. He's using Samson mics on his toms and from what I know, they're mid-range, not high in quality like Shure's high end stuff, but they sound amazing in Cobus' videos.

[@beatsbydanfurnari]

3:47 - had to watch that a few times. you always do have cool linear fills but that one was just so smooth and tasty.

[@SkaterYung]

i wish there was a button next to every song ever that i like called "the cobus button" to turn it into one of his covers. YOURE AWESOME COBUS!!!

[@ZeroFoxGiven0]

Muse has the best tom grooves.

[@Musabre]

BAkos It really is a signature trait of theirs by now isn't it?

[@ZeroFoxGiven0]

MusabreGames Yeah, I suppose!

[@ItHipScene]

oh man i had a break from youtube and i come back to find that you have covered this this is one of my favourite songs at the moment cobus, i have missed you

[@valeriangg]

Omg you are just amazing, one of the best muse drum covers that I ever heard.. continue like this

[@saiageez]

didn't know that Luis Suarez playing drums

[@ulics313]

Jajajajajajaj good one x)

[@victorino_gnr1935]

[@travisd9432]

Some people don't understand what a COVER is. Great job putting your style onto a great song!

[@arulantz9593]

Hade pisan euy maen na.. Salut aingah ka maneh teh jang cobus.. Pokonamah keep on rockin weh nya... :D

[@galihdwiyana4983]

arul antz moal ngartieun mang 😆

[@triasteriinterioranddesign7659]

cobus said : asal bukaaan the jak

[@thevarsh]

Man you smashed on that. Great cover. One of my favorite Muse songs and you brought all the energy of the track.

[@romain3125]

I don't know Suarez can play drum as good at this !

[@justyobbin]

I love the lighting in this video, and, obviously, the drumming as well.

[@AnathanPram]

what a beautiful perform by suarez

[@wannacry9056]

Lol hahahaha

[@a7x4eva124]

I've learnt to Fave and like all cobus videos before i watch them because they all blow my mind!!

[@naytonmendeslong]

Parabéns,vc tem um grande talento

[@pdublt3d]

I see Cobus is now shopping at the Jared Falk shop of clever tee shirts! I love the pants off of this song, and you did it great justice with the cover, as always. Keep 'em coming Cobus.

[@hotmixal]

didn't know that _David Villa_ playing drums

[@GiryGuitarist]

Luis Suarez David Villa Cesc Fabregas Anyone else?

[@udiddy682]

i love you dude edit: been watching since your super mario bros 2 cover and haven't stopped. you da man.

[@Gingerbearded]

You deserve more subs bro, cooperdrummer ain't got nothing on you

[@ryanfernando9112]

+Ivo Petrovski indeed

[@saputro5384]

cooperdrumshiit are suck ,to over for evrything

[@RaynP]

Cobus's production quality is far superior to Cooper's, without a doubt. Both really great drummers in their own way in my opinion.

[@xreasezanmoody7633]

Gingerbeard that'd still be 1 cool ass drum of(Cooper's over show boating aside, he's still a good drummer).

[@ronyganang5851]

yuore right dude.... too much unecessary hit.... overplay and over show off....

[@TCELL24]

I'm really glad you stayed more true to the original track than on your other drum covers.

[@mrbungle3310]

anyone that wants to talk about dom and double bass xD

[@Tfrne]

I love reading the comments section on Cobus videos. Everyone is so nice to one another.

[@seventysevenstoriesz]

2019 ma man!

[@Fogheart1]

Dude its been a while since I watched any of your vids, but when I saw you'd covered my favourite band, and one of my fave songs, I had to. Muse couldn't have played it better dude that was amazing!

[@MtnXfreeride]

Never seen that brand of cymbals before, honestly though not a fan of their sound. They seem weak and die out to quick. Cobus is awesome though.

[@sasakimakina764]

I agree, there's just no sustain to their sound, and a song like this needs more aggressive symbols. I love the rest of his kit though, and a great cover.

[@vollidiotcool]

that brand is called TRX, i personally really like their sound, but cobus switched to sabian anyways.

[@lukebogartmix]

TRX cymbals bro, they're awesome, they open up really well, especially the harder you hit them, the better they sound lol.

[@darianhughes5063]

Oh my god. I am a huge Muse fan and I love Dom Howard's drumming, but this. This is wonderful.

[@awewrtmbin]

luis suarez as drummer 😄

[@999margoth]

hahahaha now i wonder if he bite his drumsticks! LOL

[@MrRandomnese]

You're amazing man. Pure talent, crazy talent. Very few people have the ability that you do, Crazy muscle memory mate. Keep it up

[@jonatanbg8746]

you changed too much the song

[@bidder321]

Agreed..

[@aliefsuryo]

thats why this video called 'cover'

[@rustyjames4575]

Jony B If you want to hear the actual drum part so badly why don't you just listen to the song. The reason people do drum covers is to give their own twist to a song.

[@buzztrucker]

I actually like his take on it better. Tasteful but not modified so much to take away from the substance of the original !

[@GraveSplendor]

What? I thought this was TOO MUCH like the original. I was hoping to hear something new 😢

[@blackhareband]

People that don't play drums really don't understand how complicated making random fills can be. Great Job cobus!

[@Aka_daka]

This is not the correct way to play this song.

[@nbvu1]

Who cares? It's awesome anyway...

[@JakeTheMDog]

***** It doesn't matter if he's better or not. It's called criticism. So basically you're saying nobody can say something bad about somebody else if they can't produce it.

[@Aka_daka]

I stand by what I said it's not the correct way to play it and it is one of my favourite muse songs, there is better drum covers on youtube than this of this song.

[@TheKevlar4]

***** That's really dumb.

[@feenixe9868]

Indeed, and this is why he can make N'sync sound like the most amazing band ever. It's a cover, which means he creates something else with the song, not replicate what Dom Howard does.

[@rockgodlegendary]

omg i didnt ever realize how much of a great drummer dom was, and you played it pretty much perfect :D

[@goodshoes07]

Cobus you do it every time. What an epic cover of an epic song.

[@aliasnate]

cobus you really know how to make the song your own man without taking out the essence of it. Amazing job buddy!

[@AliceRiobueno]

One of your best covers after Kelly Clarkson's "My life would suck without you" :)

[@cuttydarlin2572]

i am amazed how every cymbal and drum is so shiny. like new.

[@POUGASDR]

Cobus is a beast 936 K subs is nothing for that talent

[@banksfletcher]

The drum fills in this cover are so clean! And quite tasty, too. Nice job.

[@shimmenator]

If you look in all the other videos from this series, his shirt and trousers are the exact same, suggesting he does all the recording in one or two days, then edits and brings them out separately, just like you would on an album, record all at once then edit and show separately, he's not a smelly gorilla smashing a kit every now and then! :D

[@liowhitetiger]

One question: How many different drums kit do you have ? About every videos got a different drum kit ^^ Seriously, you're just amazing... I love drum sounds and I really like what you do, you're a real artist :) Keep doing it !

[@smn4me]

BEST cover of this series

[@remaercsify]

When I saw this on my subscriptions feed I thought it was too good to be true. I like ALL your work Cobus, but two thumbs up for covering Muse. :)

[@sandmaster9412]

I've been trying to figure out why this series doesnt have as good a viewing sensation as his earlier series and i see all the time oh i miss the old cobus and stuff like that. its the same cobus i think i finally got it. Cobus doesnt look like he's enjoying it as much anymore. He doesnt look like he wants to explode with happyness anymore. and I dont see him smile nearly as much like he did in his older videos.

[@TheGenericPlayer]

Really impressive! And you're a fun drummer to watch. It looks like u are having fun, and you are one of the few.. Keep going!

[@maximust1976]

I tried this song about a year ago this is not a easy song awesome job liked and subbed I might try it again soon you nailed that song

[@AdsoSebastio]

I knew the drums were good on this song but that just showed me they are twice as good as i thought :D

[@Antchovi]

Oh my gosh dude I love your drum videos! Haha I've been practicing a lot and will continue to practice because I want to be able to play as effortlessly as you, it looks fun!

[@perfectfiresky]

You made this song better! Too awesome, Cobus!

[@hadair407]

Never knew suarez could play drums ;-) nah but seriously great work mate, your covers are all class!

[@sondevirofficial]

i like the part after 4:39 is more energic than the original drums, good job.

[@IsaacSturdee]

I. Love. It. I'm a muse fanatic and that is brilliant! Dom would be proud (Muse Drummer)

[@ILiveForMusic11]

Each series he does is recorded in the space of either a day or a few days. In this case it was over something like a weekend but he kept wearing the same clothes for a sense of sameness through the series.

[@edsomau]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! THE BEST Cover Drum....

[@CallMeRandomVG]

The vocals are entertaining to hear. His vibrato sounds like legit shaking while singing :3

[@GeorgeChatzimanolis]

Wow!!!!!!! This is a SUPER COVER!!! Thanks Cobus, you are a fantastic drummer!

[@watford1881]

Check out the making of the series video, it wasn't shot in one day he just used the same shirt (presumably so they series had the same look/feel etc)

[@brinleyhall]

I'd like to sum up the negative comments on this video. Bear in mind I have been watching your video's from the beginning, and have the utmost respect for you for getting as far as you have! With this cover, it feels like you haven't really listened to the song before you played it. The fills you playing, whilst good, aren't appropriate most of the time, and the act to take all sense of dynamics out of the song, and take any climax/break out of the song. More to say, not enough space to do it!

[@darksephiroth3000]

this man has given a new meaning to drum covers haha!

[@nathanboone6605]

great job man! love the little extras to make it your own.

[@RafaelMinerbo]

you can get master tracks if you are good on searching the web. by doing so you get all the separate tracks, put them on the editing software like cubase, pro tools or whatever and delete the drums and re record it

[@Netherchild]

Generally for a studio recording, the Master Track comprises of several tracks, each of which has a different instrument or voice. Some companies (such as Harmonix, for their Rock Band games) buy the rights to utilise a full Master Track to split up the instruments into seperate tracks to make the game work as it does. I can't imagine it being easy for "just anyone" to obtain these master tracks though.

[@blackcoffeepls]

Nice cover bro. I love the whole "I look like I just did a couple bumps of coke" facial expressions.

[@daveb731]

Awesome job man. Really put your own stamp on it.

[@mfioramonti]

I'm totally speechless. This is soooo awesome.

[@sharon879]

Finally!!! muse drumcover by cobus!

[@wtrbtha]

COO3RDRUMM3R is as tight as... no wait, he isn't. he has an extremely expensive set-up and uses it like a child who know's the basics of walking. Also his drums is tuned to sound like, I believe they call it shit. Cobus, you're the man!

[@dano1999]

the bass drum sounds amazing!

[@maggieanneseers3171]

OMFG this dude is awesome and i love muse too

[@AllenIverson444]

Of course but doesn't really sound the same with only one foot, it may be a bit less heavy. "Jumpy" I could say and it would sound better. Just my opinion, it's a question of interpretation ! Awesome cover as always ! At the end of the song Cobus is so epic ! Love the way he plays !

[@Woulsey]

Your kit is gorgeous 😍😍

[@orlito]

Absolutely amazing performance. Love this song. Great job!

[@davidjackson5989]

So True! Thanks so much for all your covers and insperation.

[@acoebaronk4460]

SIMPLY AND PERFECT. BEAUTIFUEL DRUM.

[@aanfaizal]

i'm muse fans,and i love this cover

[@Yooooooo2464]

That drum kit is perfect!

[@bambionsteroids]

he cuts out some of the highs and lows from the original song's EQ, muting some of the highs from the cymbals and some of the lows form the bass drums and toms, but he doesn't remove the drums for the original, you can't do that, he simply "silences" or dims out the original drums a little bit and when he increases the volume of his drums over the cover track it kinda just gives that illusion.

[@MangoHombre]

My grandparents bought me a Slingerland four-piece drum kit in 1969. If I close my eyes, I can still smell it.

[@terryjackman]

In the 1700s, you would have been seen as a prodigy, a musical genius. I just think..... YOU ARE A GOD :-) WOW!!!

[@Sebi8818]

He makes sets of covers! one set, one shirt! :)

[@helowako]

Ahhhh Cobus I love watching you.. and in 1080p

[@arseniyseriy]

I've been waiting you for a long time to make Muse cover! )))

[@HodsdenFilms]

If you care to go to the end of his description you'll find that he's correct. "I didn't stray too much from the original track in this one, there is already so much going on that I decided to just go with the flow and play the phrases that Dominic Howard wrote, that already compliment the song so well. There are a few fills here and there that I loooove, though.. FUN song, as always with Muse." Do some research before you slam someone.

[@Alchemic49ers]

When Cobus comes to play he doesn't just come to play...he come to f*** it up 🤘🏻

[@AdamBriffa]

I was fortunate enough to see Muse twice..Where they also played the WHOLE of 'Origin Of Symmetry'!!

[@roryando]

Didnt see this until now :O!! SO HAPPY U DID IT!

[@TheOneTheOnlyPhilip]

you are amazing. truly a gift
