    I've been wanting to do this for ages! Right after I filmed the video about my bass drum technique (this one: bit.ly/JHXaFd) I decided to use the already set-up gear to record this quick little kick/snare/hat jam. Tons of guys have done this, and it's so SO much fun to break everything down to the basics and see what you can come up with.
    So, here is my first kick/snare/hat video. Thanks for watching!

    Sometimes even the most simple setups can inspire so much creativity. This can definitely be seen here. Big kits are great, but I love seeing people do awesome stuff on a three piece. Great playing. ;)

    A while back I filmed a bass drum technique video, and thought about just recording a few stand-alone grooves as well. I was tired so it was never going to be incredibly coherent, just wanted to film a quick vid for some feedback, I LOVE feedback. That said, your comment is so condescending that it makes it difficult to take you seriously, even though I would have loved to. If you have some constructive criticism, please throw it my way! Who should I listen to? Which exercises can you recommend?

    When people say he is over-rated, they aren't comparing themselves to him. They are comparing some of the other amazing talent on youtube, which isn't getting enough attention.
    All I will say is Mike Johnston has 50k subs, and has been making amazing videos since 2006. He is the most humble guy ever, and his drumming/tutorials are freaking mind blowing.
    All due respect to Cobus though, I have been a fan of him since the beginning, and he is a great guy.

    I completely agree
    I think one of the major reasons why cobus has more attention than his current skill level would suggest is because he has gained popularity by being so awesome to his fans, with the cobus method, constantly telling his fans whats going on, and forming a band with some fans...
    I wish people would realize that just because he doesn't fit into their skill-to-popularity ratio doesn't mean that he's over rated, it means that he's doing more than just playing

    • @seanevans1992
      @seanevans1992 10 років тому +7

      Highly debatable topic.. A lot of people say to get a full size starter kit; personally I would say to begin with just a kick snare and hats and learn to GROOVE. The amount of beginners that have been playing for 3 years that still can't groove is insane.. All the fun stuff; speed and agility comes in time, but you have to groove as a drummer or you won't have anything going for you..

    I also agree that he overplays a lot of the time, but that's just because he does it for fun more than anything else, and his groove isn't entirely tight for the same reason, and it makes him really likeable, I love that he's pretty much just messing about to songs in his videos.
    But I think the main reason I and many others (probably) respect him is cause he worked his ass off to do his hobby for a living; he didn't get famous at all til he'd flooded youtube with probably a few hundred covers

    Agreed. It also depends on what you call the "best". Some people consider timing, and accuracy, others emotion, or originality. Everyone likes a different drummer for a different reason. Some are fast, some are smooth. Just like music genres, Its all your own taste, doesnt mean one is better than the other, and if one gets more attention, that is for many reasons too! Sometimes luck! Just enjoy the beats, the rhythm, and relax all!

    I thought this was a couple months old. No, 12 YEARS! Crazy.

    Right on! I am glad to see another drummer who can do diddles between foot and hand and knows how to tune a snare. now try doing swiss triplets with hand and foot. that is a tough one.
