    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!

    Probably one of the last great pop songs ever produced. The whole track is a masterclass in arrangement, and the drums are the tightest driving force behind all of it. Love it, well done!

      Yeah I would hope he would mix those in more, this is obviously a show of technique, but mixing in things that fit and complement the song are a part of drumming as well. Not saying he can't do it, but that is pleasurable to the ear and heart. This is more a drum highlight.
