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!
Anyone notice how happy Cobus was when he played this song-all the smiles, singing of the lyrics, and constant head banging throughout (so much that his headphones almost fell off). There is just something about Christian music that makes you feel so humble and happy either playing or listening to it. God is so amazing and I'm glad to see Cobus worshiping him! Truely inspiring for us all!
So I'm sitting here now watching this. And I remember when Cobus first released this 4 years ago.. This is literally the video that made me love Cobus and drums. Still do to this day... God bless Cobus Potgieter :D
Was looking through my old RUclips playlists and I found this in a playlist with 3 other Christian song covers. Due to my upbringing, I used to be super religious and while I like ALL your covers, I remember finding these especially dope. It's been about a decade. I grew up and have since let go of my faith. Watching this makes me miss that time when I still believed in something.
Cobus you were one of my first favorite RUclips drummers when I got into drumming. I now have that Adrian young snare because I remembered you had it in these videos so long ago. I wanted one ever since and 15 years later I finally have one. Hope you’re you’re still doing good.
every time i see you drum i gotta cry man...stop drumming LOL NO MAN DRUM TILL U DIE!!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST DRUMMER I HAVE EVER SEEN MAN YOU R THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST IN DRUMMING HISTORY!!!!!!! LOVE YOU COBUS
I almost cried when I saw you playing this song... I'm deeply inspired by your drumming. Like you I'm also a drummer and whenever I hear songs that you play by your drumming I feel super happy especially when you're playing christian songs, especially praise songs.. God Bless you and remember that God is the one who gave you the talent so always use your ftalent or the glory of God. *thank you for reading*
Bro, you have a great gift and you are using it for Yahweh's glory. You have inspired me and given me hope that drumming like this, with passion and love for the instrument and the Giver of the gift, DOES have a place in church. My drummer's heart soared listening to you, thank you for taking me into the presence of our God through the gift of drums. May He bless you always.
your open-mindedness is seriously such a treasure and if only all religious and non-religious people could be like that, the world would be SUCH a better place.
I'm really really glad that you're using the talents God gave you and serving him with it....theres a reason why you're so talented! And God is that reason so keep serving him!
Love seeing one someone worship while playing the drums. Im a drummer at my church and im trying to get the band to play this song. Your a role model to so many people and its awesome seeing you show that your a Christian!!!
THIS is what music is all about - taking a brilliant song, making it your own and absolutely LOVING doing it! NEVER heard a better drum cover of this song - this is fantastic!!
Still, THE BEST, rendition I’ve ever heard. Ten years later.... omg!!! I’d be awesome if you could cover some Lincoln Brewster songs. Or anything off of the Echo Album from Free Chapel.
best song : planetshakers- endless praise...turn it up... dance... nothing is imposible... this love... no compramise... put your hands up. hillsong- I believe Godbless u cobus!
@RightOnBobbyD i dont know how God works, i only know that he is so real, that i can feel him just going to church, and having the enough faith to believe in what is happening. dude i dont know your religion but i dont care, im going to pray for you, your family, and everithing. God bless u
I really like this style of Cobus. Nowadays feels like he adapted to a more mature style which is also great. But there was something special in Cobus 7-8 years back
I love how much you're lovin' it while you're playing. How you pull off one of those perfect fills and smile to yourself. Excellent. You inspire me to be a better drummer.
I love watching this video. I love how he smiles & sings along to it while just completely falling into the drumming! All about Worship in this one..LOVE IT!!!
I still think this might be your best cover.. Fits your style so perfectly well, and it's worship as a bonus. I always come back to watch this, inspiring!
It could just be me, but you look like you enjoy playing Hillsong stuff more than other covers, you just look a lot more joyful and happier, you smile a lot more in this song that other, but that could just be me, but I love your christain covers, would like to see more
You sir are spectacular! God says we should praise him in all we do and you have excelled in that! Never stop praising and never stop believing! God Bless
Yes Cobus, your God is everything and His words never fade. He can make a normal guy into one of the greatest drummers in the world, that's probably because of your heart dude, you're amazing. Keep working, keep praising His name and Living His life. You're gonna go far kid!
i think it is absolutely amazing to watch you play the drums because the smiles that come across your face really tell me that you love it and with it being a worship song makes it even better!
@Andrenlb that is also a valid way to perform a cover, to make it you own, as some people would rather listen to the cd rather than listen live to an exact imitation of what can be heard from the cd. Musicians perform covers like this all the time
Tremendous! Amazing sense of rhythm and great creative combination of different hits during the whole song. But most impressive... your passion for the One who you are playing for... Jesus... You are not playing for people in order to make impression but you play to impress your Creator. Keep on moving.. God bless you!
i like how hes just naturally groovin... unlike other drummers, whenever they do fills it looks so studied its like "hey im gonna do a RLKKRLKRLKK here" and you can only have a natural flow if you feel the music beat by beat.
Man you have the greatest smile on your face when you play this sing, i can tell you really feel that bridge.... you have great passion when you play worship music bro...keep up, your destined to be one of the greats!!!!
It's 4 flams. A flam, if you don't know, is two drum strokes played by alternate hands, it's supposed to sound close to hitting them at the same time, but still off so you can easily hear both strokes. The first of the two is on the floor tom, the second of the two is on the tom, after 4 flame you hit the slightly opened hi hat then crash.
Hey cobus don't worry about uploading christian songs...music was how i got saved. i heard a song and felt convicted. that night i started praying and gave my life to the lord. But dude, i have been drumming for 6 years and dang dude! After watching all your vids i have yet to find a flaw anywhere. god really blessed u dude =P
Although not much of a religious person myself I find it quite nice that some churches have moved forward and use current music to get their message out. Chanting is not for everyone.
Music is not solely about religion people!.. come on, faith is one thing but following the beat in your heart is another.. no matter what the rhythm. he's an artist, can't we just leave it at that!?... Cobus, please allow me the honor of becoming a fan! =)
GOD BLESS YOUR LIFE AND YOU HAVE A GIFT OF GOD TAKE CARE VERY WELL. DIOS TE BENDIGA MUCHO, TIENES UN TALENTO QUE DIOS TE DIO, CUIDALO MUCHO. QUE DIOS TOQUE TU CORAZON A TRAVES DE LA MUSICA Y QUE SEA UN INSTRUMENTO PARA QUE LO CONOZCAS DE TODO CORAZON. ESPERO ALGUN DIA CONOCERTE Y ME DES UNAS CLASES DE BATERIA. SALUDOS DESDE MTY NL MX. BYE.
@rush2ryme because i personally am a praise and worship leader at my church and i totally respect people a lot more when they use their talent for God! cuz he's the one who gave us our talents in the first place!
hooh! I added one famous christian drummer on my list!.. Thank God for your life!. Don't forget the creator who gave you all this talent! God bless you my Bro.!
you know why you smile in this video more than others. Its because God is flowing through you!! your an amazing drummer. i can play nut not like you. God bless man
honestly cobus watching you play kinda makes me never want to pick up the sticks again lol man you are an amazing drummer and one day id like to be as good as you
