Laus Deo Semper www.CobusPotgieter.com http This is a drum cover of Avenged Sevenfold’s song, AFterlife. I had only been playing doublebass for a few months at the time of this recordig, so please be lenient with he comments about that 
For the record, ALL double strokes were played with one pedal, ie the ones at the end of the gutiar solo, as you can very clearly see by how crazily tired I was after that piece 
I would hve LOVED to show you the FootCam of this, but I forgot to rewind the tape for the whole third set, so with a few songs I unfortunately couln’t use the FootCam shots. I have to emphasize, I know calling this a “cover” is wrong, seeing as I only PARTLY stayed true to the song’s drums (or lack thereof), through the WHOLE song I play some variations of the beats, phrasing and fills, since 99% of what I play is improvised. Even though I have done my fair share of session and studio drumming, that has little to zero effect on these video’s, I kind of see them as live performances. I’m NOT aiming to be accurate to the original drums, I’m just aiming to enjoy myself. And I thoroughly succeeded in doing that, might I add Avenged Sevenfold – Afterlife from the 2008 self-titled release is the copyrighted property of it’s owner(s).

Video Rating: 4 / 5
@dumbannana no he should not because skillet is gay.
dude i wanna buy a set of drums and play just like him! god bless you cobus!
1:42 *ding
I WANT TO FUCKEN MEET HIM! SDGHLSDF
@sophieovertheworld My guess would be that he wanted the power from 5A’s for the solo, then switched to 7A’s afterward to conserve energy with a lighter stick.
Absolutely epic 0:25
Did he broke his drum after this ?
Yo dood…i Checked out the same song at JimmyDrum92 and it was very nice ..he is very talented but Cobus is better in his way of playing.He makes you wanna get into the screen and play to,I can feel his enthusiasm for the drums and I feel this way too so I will keep watching his videos and hope I become as good as him or even better!!!( I have nothing against Jimmy)
Wow! . I was wondering if people could go on my channel, i have uploaded a new drum cover of evanescence bring me to life, so if you could watch it and hit the subscribe button that would be amence, many thanks to everyone
People checkout JimmyDrum92′s channel. In my opinion he is better at drum covers than Cobus.
1:43 Awesome fill, brought together with a TRIANGLE!
Only one could surpass him. And that is the fucking wreckhabbo!!!!! I know drums. Gonna post one if someone subscribe …. Times . Stay tuned
Dogfight – Another Day imo
That snare was begging for mercy
And I thought i was good, i took an arrow to the knee.
@dumbannana
Hope for that in the 2012 series covers!
@sophieovertheworld maybe he could feel them starting to break and didn’t want to ruin the video half way through. (just a guess.) I’m a drummer so I know what its like to be half way through a roll and have your stick break on you.
Awesome cover of an awesome song by an awesome band though. 
10/10 dude.
