Cobus - Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We're Goin Down (Drum Cover)

[@cobuspotgieter]

Thumbs up if you're watching this in 2021 😎 UPDATE: I just released a new DRUM LESSON PACK! -> bit.ly/CobusLessons. 5 lessons, 90 minutes, for 27 bucks. It will make you better at tuning drums, mixing drums, I'll show you my practice routine, my worst habits as a self-taught drummer, and teach you one of my favourite linear licks. Thanks for being here!

[@skwirls]

Wow, was I actually the first like on a Cobus post?? :-O Happy 2021 ya'll!

Great cover! Such a fun song!

Hey brother we luvd it

[@bellamuzika8712]

cobus is one of those few drummers who can overplay without being annoying

Nah fam hes really annoying

Haters gonna hate lmao

[@crawlsensei1417]

Ehem cooper

[@moel384]

at 2:41 the magic begins. Watch from there to the end and you can see how Cobus makes a quite simple song beautifully technical and more fun. I'm in heaven

[@JkDubbed]

Right!?! I have to know if that splash hit was on purpose at 3:27 😂

[@TheBlashMusic]

Moel ! Thank god the original version didn't have that lmao

[@ae171]

yeah good shit. but doesn’t really work from a recording/song crafting standpoint. doing unnecessary drum fills on a part of a song that’s focusing on the vocal harmonies and quietness doesn’t make sense and only adds something that might distract the listener from the true focus. 🤷🏻‍♂️but then again i’m just a bass player..

[@ajiguess3700]

Are you a fan or cobus second account

[@genesamatv2726]

Is cobus making a chops?

[@DeadEndNeko]

I liked how you spin both cymbals and hit the splash at 3:27

[@oreactt]

Nightshard no way he did that on purpose

[@krgrinden]

He so did!

[@Snarethedrummer]

Interesting, I very much didn't like that.

[@JkDubbed]

@rvact right?! I have to know if that was on purpose lol

[@Snarethedrummer]

I mean he made the choice to upload it like this, so he knows it's in there. I can't see how it wouldn't be on purpose.

[@ryanmischel9787]

Been years since I surfed youtube for drum covers. Had no idea that my favorite drummer from high school was still making videos. This Cobus looks way different from the one I remember, but those insane fills can't lie. Thanks for many years of great content!

[@TheMisterNg]

Drummers are just built different. Massive respect for your talent!

[@nathanriches]

This is just classic Cobus right here. So killer!

The pop of that snare is unreal 😍😍😍

[@PaulVensonsRch]

Dude, im a drummer at our church and a drummer as well on festivals. But I cant stope watching this video. Same with the "Take a Look around'" vid. THis is really hard work and a fruit of labor of how you have started way way back years ago. Keep up! Keep inspiring many people!

[@JackkReaction]

Some weird censorship on the word "friction", but some fantastic drumming to make up for it (as expected).

[@antnyneveruploads]

yeah that was strange. all the vocals sound a little off from the one I remember, as if it's a demo or something. maybe just the way the vocals were isolated when mixing in the drums?

[@frederikhansendrums]

"Sugar, We're Goin Down (Guitars Down Version)" it says in the "music in this video section", so that's probably why it sounds a little weird :O

[@cobuspotgieter]

No joke, for the past 13 years I've thought he sang "be the freak sh*t in your jeans" so I was like, sure, I'll censor this just to be safe (for the kids, you know). Now I find out he actually sings "friction". I'm laughing out loud. Also now I'm terrified of how many other lyrics I'm entirely oblivious to.

[@nazshafik4614]

its fall out boy anyway..misheard on every song XD

[@JackkReaction]

Cobus That's a perfectly innocent story! Thanks for putting the kids first :)

[@slimkt]

Ahh, brings me back to the good ol' days.

[@TrinityRourke]

I got hella nostalgia watching this one bro

[@wanasyraf8124]

There is one thing that makes cobus special.. he cover a song that doesn't focus on the drum and cobus put his magic into that songs.. thats what make it realy special.. Btw, 90% of his cover are my fav songs. Thanks cobus. U r my hero

[@couchteytoh1746]

For me, this is the best drum cover i've ever seen for this song. Awesome one! 😊☺️

[@supdudehowsitgoing]

I put down the drums several years ago after I had to move into the city after playing everyday for a decade. Cobus was one of my biggest inspirations. Very clean. He has always improvised in light of the song instead of just mindlessly improvising for his own sake.

[@rev6925]

I absolutely love the way you play. Seems so effortless and looks like you're having so much fun doing it as well. Good job!!

[@IanReyesXD]

Literally, cobus was the reason why i got into drumming.. I was just watching all this videos back then and that's when i knew how to drums. I didn't get any lessons how, i just watched his videos and i learned a thing or two.. Cobus is my hero..

[@FourLoopMedia]

Dude you have been at this forever and have only gotten better. Straight up session musician, pro-level, better than the artists quality at this point. Very cool to see.

[@rogerdiy]

His talent and impeccable ability to translate into his own style are always jaw dropping. Awesome cover Cobus! A fantastic drummer always.

[@hackwise]

Cobus I love all your covers , huge fan from a while !

[@bittymongoose]

LOVE that you put your own feel on the song but left the fill, after the bridge, the same. Cobus is a god

[@ericgawministries]

THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE COVER YOUVE DONE! Ive loved this song ever since i was a kid an now one of my favorite drummers does a cover. FREAKIN SICK BRO !

[@Auxxy]

cobus, from watching you 6 years ago sparking the music inside me. went from drums to rap, but i’m still doing it and it all came from you. thank you my friend

[@leolora4980]

Your covers make me love the songs 10x more it’s amazing

[@HouseDaddyHouse]

The cymbal work is unreal with this guy.

@3:25 not totally sure if that was an intentional splash hit or not but it was perfect.

[@davids1inwestholl45]

Man! What a work-out! You really worked up a sweat. Like the old saying goes, "If you don't sweat when you finish, you're not doing it right." Love your set up & kit. You got everything needed to add those impressive flourishes. Sure, it's a FOB cover, but you own it b/c it's your style...It's unique. Just amazing!

[@onetwogroove]

Please do more covers like these!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@whateveryouwantmetobe.1489]

This has to be one of the funnest drummers to watch I've ever seen. Not only is he good at what he does, but he has so much energy, happiness, and excitement when playing. I just found this channel and I can already tell you you I am going to be part of this community. Great work...live long and prosper my friend.

Haven't heard this song in ages. Great memories. Nice work brother!

[@danlemueltioaquen9942]

[@brandoncharles74]

Where do you find tracks without the drums? It’s great only hearing YOUR chops through the mix. Alternate fills can usually be heard through the mix, but you eliminate that. Good shit

[@Wardmediaproductions]

How did you get a drumless track?

[@cobuspotgieter]

99.9% of the tracks I use for my covers are just the normal studio tracks (not drumless) but with this song I was able to find a drumless track online, my guess is that it's because the song was featured in Rock Band. Just Google it, shouldn't be hard to find!

[@ceesbrt]

Anything you play just turns into absolute masterpiece ugh

[@CantonMasterDrummer]

Damn son, another nail in the coffin. Lol. When you record, are you playing the track in your IEM, or are you listening to a solo click, or maybe you listen to a podcast and just know what you’re playing and the right tempo. Hahaha!!

[@hoesanalrachid8197]

Probably click or click with backing track

[@CantonMasterDrummer]

Hoesan Al Rachid I figure it’s both, just crazy how on point he is with the additional fills with a backing track in his ear if there wasn’t a click. Lol.

Should be arrested for murdering that song.

[@agh1889]

Graeme Brown Wow thats alot of anger for a simple comment. Does it upset you that you actually like the comment but just cant admit it?

[@graemebrown9243]

It's a comment aimed at trolls who feel the need to comment negatively on something when all they could do is just not watch it. Also, not angry person.

[@graemebrown9243]

But you know, you can just sit behind your keyboard and lambast someone for doing something without showing face. your call

[@agh1889]

Graeme Brown Ok let me clear this up “Murdering that song” aka “Killed it” aka “one of the best covers of this song that I’ve heard”. My comment was not negative.

[@graemebrown9243]

Where I'm from "murdering something" is a negative...

[@stormtrooperholds]

Cobus....the drumming for this song was so full. I don't see how you managed to make a cover of it. Must have been outstandingly challenging to find spots to embellish or add
