MAN! Back at it! Also back at writing video descriptions. It's been a while :)
What do I write here? A more detailed description of the recording process? A summary of how I'm feeling? (If you're wondering: I'm feeling hungry). Or do I write something entertaining? Does this work? I'm so hungry that I'm struggling to think straight, so in order to post this video asap and go get some food, I'll just write a few things that come to mind:
* BAT COUNTRY FINALLY WITH THE DOUBLE KICK HOLLAAAAAAA
* This is definitely my most over-played cover of all time. No shame. Come at me bro.
* These GoPro's I'm using are about 5 years old and I'm starting to notice. Anybody got any hookups or ideas for new cameras?
* Food. Just thinking about food in general. About eating it. And so forth.
* I tuned the snare too high.. it took me AGES to get it to breathe and sit right in the mix. That said, I love how the mix turned out, even though it took a TON of work. You live and you learn. Unless you're an amoeba, they live but I don't think they have the cerebral capacity to learn.
* I recorded this song for the first time more almost 12 years ago. Isn't that insane? Time flies. Life goes by fast. I'm a really thankful dude.
Ok that's it, time for food. THANK YOU for reading this, for watching this video, for sticking around. You just watched me play the drums and have fun, so it's almost like we shared a cool little connection around enjoying drums and music (even if you live halfway around the world). I think that's kinda cool. Thanks for being here, have an awesome rest of your day, and take good care of yourself.
But seriously though, food. - Навчання та стиль
What up from 2023 Cobus 👋🏼
If you liked this video: I just uploaded a video where I learn an A7X video from the latest album! If you're keen, watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/ZVf0dSUJIrY/v-deo.html
I see someone has been shedding those single strokes... nice work!
Aaaaaaayyyyyyy
What does "shed" mean in that sentence? hmm...
@@moisesgomes6191 it means practicing
@@gyroman567 thank you a lot, man.
@@moisesgomes6191 It means he's been doing less single strokes than in his other covers
As someone who has listened to this song about 1,000 times trying to learn the drums to it, I can say you absolutely killed this
Same here
Same 💯
Same 💯
Oh my gosh I was about to write this 😂😂😂
yeah same i learned the first third of this song before covid happened. the hardest part was learning the herta? i think its called
Respect to anyone that can play this song. I always thought this song shows a talented drummer
The most satisfying A7X drum cover on UA-cam !!!
Edit: the fill at 3:05 is one of the best licks I have EVER heard!!!!!
Mike Diggs cover is actually better. That guy is a beast! Check him out
ua-cam.com/video/4rTw71AahOs/v-deo.html
@@incprice9575 he's good, but Cobus is on a whole different level
@@incprice9575 he was alright. He stuck to the song very well but his kit doesn’t sound as good. Plus, cobus overplayed the song, so it sounded cooler
DUDE! This took me WAY back!
Same! Also it was way easier to play when I was ten years younger haha, this tired me OUT.
For real, a7x songs require a lot of stamina.
@@cobuspotgieter mannnnn i remember being in like 9th grade discovering youtube watching your bat country cover and getting blown away.
one of the drummers who inspired me to start learning how to play.
Bro please do an afterlife too, would be gr8 to see that
🔥
3:57 the two cleanest cymbal chokes i've ever seen
very much so...................he is very good.
I watched it back 20 times. So smooth.
you say so? go to 1:25 here ua-cam.com/video/ctLu7-eid8g/v-deo.html
@@P1nkman Ah good, someone else thought to mention Moffet. Lol
Agreed. Thanks for pointing them out. He's all over the place and I completely missed them.
2:24 GAVE ME CHILLS WHEN YOU SPUN IT
Bat country is a song where the drums are perfect as is. And people who tend to put almost too much effort into doing a cover, it's not really a cover. But Cobus does it with style and it's perfect. Amazing.
This song single-handedly brought me into this genre of music And I’ve never looked back. What an amazing rendition, the rev would be proud
Absolutely. That's why I love Cobus. He has that same saucey style.
Yes, me too! But the thing is, The Rev's taste is so unique that I can't find similar artist on this genre. They are just... different.
I miss The Rev so much.
BismoB Yeah I miss him too. When Mike Portnoy I can’t fill your shoes properly. No disrespect to Mike. You are one of the best
If you ever see a scowl on Cobus' face while hes playing, you know you're in for a treat 🤙🔥
I do enjoy a good scowl from time to time.
it blows my mind how clean this was PLUS you seamlessly added your own flourish and style to it. absolutely blown away. have never seen a drum cover to a song i love that was this good
Dude Cobus.... As a drummer of over 50 years experience you are stellar!! Of course for me there was a many decade period where I played very little drums to raise a family. But you'll find when you reach my age [65] the desire to play drums NEVER leaves you. This year I hope to put up my kit since our sons have left to start their own family. I know I'll suck but the desire and joy will still be intact. The best to you and your future for drumming.
Throwback series?
Then I'll wait for "my life would suck without you"
Oh yeaaah! Freakin love that cover
let's wait
Yesssss
Yessssss..agreeeeddd
Yeah Me too...
My favorite song to drum cover performed by my favorite youtube drummer. My life is complete.
This song is like crack for drummers. NEVER GETS OLD. (also don't do drugs, crack is bad, drugs are bad, drums are good, play drums)
@@cobuspotgieter Actually, music is my drug and drum is like my way to get dope. lol
And Cobus replying me? What a day!
Me too
@@xROPendragon Also dreaming for that someday.
Me too, two things really
I am LITERALLY speechless! ANYONE who can knock out "Bat Country" on drums is either an alien or possessed! I seriously consider this EQUAL to discovering penicillin, or Gunpowder, or putting a man on the moon....... Bravo, you are a CHAMP in my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At 3:55 I love how he mutes his cymbals to make accents it just creates a whole new grove to it. Keep up the good work
The Rev was so essential to their sound, critical actually. Damn
Couldn't listen to any of their new stuff after he died.
Brooks is still a beast. Reminds me a lot of the Rev's playing with his little nuances.
I agree. Avenged is still great but just not the same anymore. Brooks is an amazing drummer but i really dont think he matches avenged's style
@@sinfulpsyche Be glad they aren't the same. They could be making HTTK 2 or CoE 2, but they don't because they aren't sellouts.
@@sinfulpsyche Brooks matches them really well. He does all those cool tricks the rev would do. And the Stage is an awesome album.
Please do A7X- Afterlife again!!
his best video!
Up
Up
Yes pls
Only if the pad with the microwave oven ring sound comes back :D
Dude is so bad ass! One of my favorite drummers. Hes so smooth and his transitions are absolutely amazing and flawless!
Look Chris Turner.. THIS is Sic
I didn't realize how difficult this song is on drums until really paying attention to this cover.... shit man that's talent right there
the nostalgia in this video is almost depressing; Cobus, A7X, The Rev. Takes me wayyyyy back. keep up the videos, I love watching them
It's insane to see how much progress has been made in your abilities and musicality since the original cover. Congrats my dude!
I’m been watching your drum covers since I was 5 and I would watch them with my dad, I’m 15 now
Dude I been watching you since I was 10 years old and now I’m 23 your still the best man!
A7x and cobus? Sell me everytime
A cube of ice, $5000
Your snare is absolutely killer in this video.
Love you, Cobus! I binge watched all of your videos when I started playing the drums 10-12 years ago. Thank you for being awesome!
this was an amazing job. lots of people try to cover this song, but almost nobody pulls it off faithfully with all the crazy little extra cymbals and full rolls that make the song what it is. truly amazing.
That fact that this has almost 500 thumbs down makes me lose faith in humanity a little. Absolutely killed it.
Dude this was one of the first Avenged songs that got me into them and is still an amazing song from an amazing album. Jimmy's style was so unique and groundbreaking, and it's so cool to see your take on him and hear the ways you play off of what he did. Love you Cobus!

Absolute perfection. After taking a 10 year break you've inspired me to set my drum kit back up. Thank you for sharing!
Great video dude! I love that song! You are a great drummer! Rip The Rev🤘❤
❤
I literally found your channel from the 2007 video of you doing this exact song. Shit brings a tear to my eye to see how much fun you still have doing this song.
It’s so impressive to me how you can show off so much and it never sounds like you’re overplaying. Great stuff as always man.
Everytime i watch 7fold songs drums covered it always reminds me of The Rev was The best drummer in the world🔥 R.I.P 🙏 James Owen Sullivan aka The Reverend Tholomoplague👑🥁
Someone else who remembered his full stage name! Hes drinkin 40s with the stallion duck in a better place.
The surely was a big Fucking duck
Just to see the pure enjoyment and passion in his face while playing is inspiring to say the least! YOU GO DUDE!
all i can think about is "this dude became a MAN"
He made a beast out of himself.been following him since my college days and this cover brings nostalgia to me
Hell yeah, he's comeback. Fans from Indonesia. Cobus " the rev " Potgieter
Smaa bang saya juga fans nya
This makes me so happy, the nostalgia is heavy. Straight back to the old one after this.
The best drum cover of Bat Country ever i seen. So greatful of epic fill 🙌🏻
Jimmy is in his grave excited af right now. Thank you Cobus, for reminding me how much i really love a7x
I’ve recently got into drum covers due to UA-cam’s sometimes golden algorithm . Very satisfying to watch the energy and flow
I literally have been watching you since a few months after you did the first cove of this song. You are 100% my favorite drummer on UA-cam. And one of my favorite drummers ever. Good job man
After ten years!!! Doing it again! My gosh!!! Thank you!!
Really loved the tuning on those drums, sound so perfect for this music
By far one of the best drummers I have ever seen. Smooth, precise, and his timing is perfect. This guy sets the bar really high. Watch and learn kiddos. If you can keep up.
Dude, you kicked ass back then and you still kick ass now! I’ve been subscribed to you for almost 5 years now and I’m proud to see how much you’ve grown since then! Keep up the great work! ❤️
Dude, the best cover i've seen of bat country yet! The Rev would be absolutely blown away by this!!!
That fill at 4:49 is really great
Insanely impeccable timing....Deep pocket the entire song. A joy to watch.
@cobus The GOAT . This was amazing as always brother. I remember watching these videos back in high school like 8-10 years ago, it was inspiring ! Ur the best can't believe I just discovered your videos again . Keep it up man
It´s awesome to find this channel again after 5 years, dude, the progress from the last time I saw you is huge. You´re a beast, dfinitely going to watch your videos more often. Keep on Rockin´.
Now the best Bat Country drum cover in YT. 💯 Great feel Cobus. 👍
I've been watching you from junior high school, and now i'm 23yrs old still amazed
This man has some of the cleanest fills my ears have ever experienced
2:50 I felt that breath. Nice work.
And I thought the first cover you did was amazing. Your growth over the years can be seen and most definitely heard
so flawless absolutely love it, keep it up COBUS, hearing the song and seing you smash the crap outta the kit brings it to life
Hands down best drum cover to this song. Love the aggression on those sticks
WOW COBUS YOU SEEM COMFORTABLE BUT POWERFUL EVERY Fn TIME!!!!
KEEP IT REAL HOLDING IT DOWN FOR US MUSICIANS!!!
LOVE U BUDDY!!!
Omg cobus in HD! Glad to see you back here. foREVer
Fantastic job! I still say this is one of the greatest written hard rock/metal songs of all time. It’s just perfect start to end
This is easily the sickest drum cover ever! Great song!! AND A KILLER COVER!!
I can’t play drums for nothing but this looks like the funnest song to play!
it is!
oh geez, this is bringing me back to my teen years in the 2000s when I obsessively watch all your drum covers haha
The rev is one of the greatest. This.... oh boy this is INSANE!!!! The way your drums are EQ’d.... like angels 🥰🤤
The fills, the accents at the bridge... just wow. Congrats man. Amazing cover. Impressive confidence and freedom on the kit.
Effortless!!! One of the cleanest covers I’ve ever listened to
THIS IS CRAZY!!! I GOT CHILLS!!! DEFINITELY A FAN NOW!
Cobus... the only drummer in the world who can take a rev part and somehow make it better.
Dude... Friggen beast mode! You killed it! I never realized just how technical the drums were to this song until now!
Trivium - pull harder on the strings of your martyr 👍👍
We need to get this to the top of the comment section!
Second this, I'd love to see a cover of it
He would slaughter that track!!!! His cymbal and tom work is so sick he could easily pull it off.
yeaahhh!!!!! I want it too!
*PULL!* *HARDER!* *STRINGS!* *MARTYR!*
3:20 Anyone else notice the guitar part was changed slightly?
Awesome cover as always. If there was ever a request for a re-do, it#s gotta be "My life would suck without you"
yeah I noticed that too. I always think in my head, "...we rather live than di- (wah wah wah wah waaaaaah)... look up towards the sky.." but it didn't come and I got confused
my favorite cobus drum cover...insanely clean
Freaking killed it! Love your videos, Been watching from the beginning. Keep 'em coming.
He's so good it's depressing. Love the work Cobus!
Pretty sure he impressed himself at 3:58... so good man!!!!
I keep coming back to this drum cover, man you did an amazing job. I haven’t lost enjoyment watching you play this and just straight up kick ass.
Totally freaking insane... overplaying has never been this satisfying and enjoying
dude your amazing, i want to get to your skill level eventually! you look so free when your in the zone, effortless
This was great cobus! I missed your uploads
As much as I admire his skills, he's one of the few people who actually seems to care about fans and support. Amiable and friendly, great personality comes above everything and Cobus has got that!great job bud!
Stunning cover...one of the best ive seen for a while
So glad your back man!! This was really really good !!! Wish the REV could watch this you have done him proud one of my biggest influences :D
