I'm loving these drum only version's!! I always wondered how you got your snare sound, but it sounds like you use a lot of overheads and room mic's in your mix?
TONS of room mics in the mix! Took me years to figure out that THAT's where the real snare sound comes from. This room was very small, and almost completely acoustically dead/dry, so I set up two wide mics as room mics, and simulated a bigger room size with reverb. Don't worry, I plan on making very detailed "making of" segments on this series, on the video and the audio side of things, so I'll elaborate further on that soon!
Cobus This comment has saved my sanity. Been trying to get a snare sound im happy with for months and sending some of the overheads to a reverb channel has really brought life to the snare. It sounds awesome :D! Any news on more "making of" videos?
I love the way you play drums. I play drums too! And I always watch your videos. I love the sound of your drums. For me, you're the god of all drummers here on youtube. Please make a cover of 42 and six by tool. Or any songs by tool. Keep on rockin' Cobus! :)
Hey cobus! Have you heard of streetlight manifesto? I think you'd have a lot of fun in "that'll be the day" or "everything went numb" I know I have fun!
Please make a tutorial of the fill in 3:05 :( 2 years have passed and I'm still hoping for a tutorial vid for this. Pleaeassseseseseasaease cobuuuuuuuuus!!!
Now I have a legitimate question as I am a drummer but I am not fully knowledgeable about kits. Is there any way to tune a bass drum to get this sound or is it a specific kick drum you need for it? I love this kick and I want it so bad.
I guess you can tune it to sound somewhat close to this but what makes his kick sound so good is the mic. A good mic and hands of a GOOD SOUND GUY can change the sound of your drum drastically! In reality his kit doesn't sound as good as it does on a video, though I bet it is still sounds fantastic!
get yourself a good batter head, for example an Evans Emad 2 or aquarian super kick 2 or remo power stroke 3 - anything similar down to preference really. - you dont necessarily need a super expensive mic, like other people have said EQ works absolute wonders, even in basic programs like garage band. Its going to sound like that through a live recording or similar through a PA, it doesn't sound like that acoustically with your own ears in the room with it. It'll still sound good though lol.
yeah eq compression mic placement mic selection, heads, tuning,or the lazy way triggers what I do is get a a trigger and a mic and blend them both so that the trigger does the attack sound and the mic adds the tone of your bass drum and fullness
This is very sad to listen videos without music. Because of that you didnt have 3 or more milions subs. But i understand that is all about the copy rights?
You seriously have the best sounding drums I've ever heard.
Insane as ever.
We've missed you Cobus! It's great to see you back. :^)
100% agreed
Those fucking toms sound so good
THOSE GHOST NOTES OH MY GOD
I thought I might get bored of a cover without music, but wow...
I love the way you play the drums, I would like to reach your level one day!
God bless you.!!
That fill at 3:05 is just next level dude!:)
Wow, those toms sound amazing! dat 3:05 though. Tutorial Video for the win!
Best sounding set ever.
duuuuude! Sounds clean! Love your set up and cymbals :)
Steven Slate, I hear you. those Toms are HUGE
I'd honestly kill to see you cover something from Tool or Rush.
I don't think he will. I've never seen him do anything like that
***** Which is exactly why I'd love to see him do it..
I don't think he'd be that great at it. No offence to Cobus but he really only covers today's popular music
***** Its for marketing purposes ;)

would it be possible if you could breakdown the tom and bass pedal fill after the bridge? (after you mute and play the ride)
Faaantastic.

What mix do you have coming in through your in-ears? Is it just the song? Or the song, a click, and drums altogether?
i played the song and this at the same time sounds so nice
1:58 that smile haha or dance or groovedance or whatever it is, it's smile'able xD
Lol iK it’s kinda weird tbh
Hey Cobus do you think it would be possible to write out the lick at 2:35 or just do a walk through of it??
Sylar is that you?

Vadim Vecher The first thing that makes a drum sound good is the drum itself, the way he tunes it and the way plays it, not the engineering beside.
DrummerDenver Yes for sure. Firstly comes the tuning. And also the skins being used. But EQ and compression can do wonders for any drum kit.

Beautiful :D
Epiccc :}
Dude, the original is blocked in the UK because of copy right, any way that's something you can sort out?
I wish I had a drum set like that but I have one at home😳
you must do some rush covers that would be awesome....x
Don't get me wrong but I feel weird when it's only drum without music
Exactly
just awsome
What happened to the video with the music? Why was it taken out?
+Eu tenho lag copyright issues maybe..
I prefer this song without the song and only Cobus on the drums.
You are the best
Cobus jy is n inspirasie vir alle drommers
