#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 KZbin when I just started uploading covers :) This was fun. More to come.

I keep coming back to this video. I'm just so taken aback by how good this is.

Took the words out my mouth. Was just telling my girlfriend about how idek why but this is just one of my favorite things I've ever seen. Im an avid musician and know some good shit and still just in love with this orchestration. Amazing grooves Cobus would love to see you play in person

Your mission should you choose to accept it is to write, perform, record, mix and edit a cover of Limp Bizkit-Take a look around. You have 12 hours to complete this mission.

Metallica level when they first kinda made that popular

[@Tiyath]

By his movement, by his demeanor, you can already tell, he's obsessed with drumming. He's the guy on the train that will virtually play Limp Bizkit or Led Zeppelin or YYZ for you, if this air drums were connected to a drum set. The guy that'll sit there drumming their thighs whenever he feels like orchestrating a beat. He's done all of these on any mode of transport you can think of. And that's why he's not only good at it, but loving it in the process

[@jtnoodle]

Air drumming and beating/tapping on things other than drums is usually something that fades as you get better (and older). Professionalism sets in after about 10 years of consistent playing. It looks and sounds kinda corny at that point. When I was in High School, us new drumline guys pounded on everything, including ourselves. However, I never saw any of my drum teachers randomly air drumming or banging on anything that wasn't a drum

[@pataudi8025]

Great comment bro. Check out his Kelly Clarkson video if you haven't.

[@vangtk10]

Bro... How are you not on a world tour with a band right now? You're a beast.

[@EnglishLad]

The thing that gets me about this drum cover in particular isn't how powerful it is, nor is it how groovy it is, nor is it Cobus' facial expressions or how in time it is. I've sort of come to expect that from Cobus, he's that talented you just know he will produce a masterpiece every time and have an absolute blast while doing so... The thing that gets me though is the transitions. The way Cobus can build up to the chorus, turn it into a huge crazy eargasm that has everyone rocking out, and then as soon as the verse starts again he's back into the groove on a dime. Just phenomenal. Cobus, I salute you!

[@mikerae-design]

I was at 6th grade when the first time I’d heard this. Now at 31, still having those goosebumps. Damn! LIMPBIZKIT!

[@shadowuser00]

I love how the snare had that real tinny/metallic sound at 4:14 like in the original. Tiny detail but nice 👍

[@sheashankle6620]

Brother! Your talent and what you’ve done to self teach is remarkable. I’ve followed you for years. Won’t lie. Haven’t seen every video but it’s crazy to watch what you’ve done thru the years. It blows my mind the dislikes and some comments. When playing it’s all about taste and what you need to put where. Not sure I’ve seen a drummer that does cover that approaches it like that especially with you talent. Seen a comment where they thought you were pushing to much. I didn’t think it one time in this. Maybe cause I know your talent and know you can put a lick anywhere you want when you want. The placement was killer. It was as if Otto was pumping for a show and added shit. People are spoiled or don’t know what it is to think further into playing. It’s more than just playing what you hear. When you play what you hear you get creative to replicate that sound but use the tones to make you think it’s the original. Every second you’ve poured into the craft is not unnoticed from me and my fellow playing buddies here in Nashville. Great cover as usual brother. Stay safe and will continue to watch!
