Ah.. the Foo Fighters. What a band.
I've been wanting to do a cover of theirs for AGES, but I absolutely love them and really wanted to take my time to do it justice. Sucky thing is, this cover was recorded 6 months ago and looking back: I keep thinking that I would have played it way differently now, haha. As most of you guys know, I record these songs in sets of a few songs each (usually for a continuous hour or so) and this song was at the end of one of the sets.. so I was quite tired. I had SO much fun (which is why I'm posting this) but I wish I had a bit more energy when recording this.
Rest assured, though.. that I will do some more Foo songs. Yup.

Thanks for being here!
Watching it now Cobus and playing it along🔥
We love your masterpiece.
this is how you play this song, is all about the passion and feelings, I don´t care about perfection in here, thumbs up
2022 now and still watching!!!
11 years later, I still come and watch your videos. I hope you’re doing well, brother. Thank you for being a huge inspiration to always keep playing.
Luis Suarez plays The Foo Fighters
what did you say ? hahaa,suarez play football
Revo Wardhana it's a joke pal, on account of him looking like Suarez
David Murphy hhh nice joke
David Murphy Actually he looks more like Alvaro Morata
+David Murphy How dare you say that !?..
Cobus is actually good looking, plus he doesn't have those horse teeth xD
"Too loud! You gotta chill!" Says everybody every time I even attempt to practice this song.
So sad how some people have fallen ignorant to the qualities of rock music.
+Juan Miguel Sanchez Please, don't give up and play as loud as you can. I'm drummer to and what more i play in worship band in my church but they wont break me anyway ;) so keep strong.
+Mates Mrozek Thanks man, I have since found my own time in the music room to play as loud as I can without disrupting.
I play drums on worship songs too, just havent played in a full band yet.
dude.....u sound exactly like me. hell it took me a literal year just to be able to practice on my church's set without getting harassed every second to either get permission from someone and/or get off of it. for crying out loud, the set didn't even belong to the church but one person(the drummer himself who's name was tod)!!

This is literally one of my favorite covers of any song on that I've seen. It's a top quality drumming performance coupled with the awesomeness of the Foo Fighters. The overall quality, your skills, the music of the Foo Fighters, and your enthusiasm and energy make so entertaining to watch. I won't exaggerate, I've watched this cover like four times in one sitting in a row.
Basically, what I'm saying is, I love you Cobus in the manliest way possible.
those toms sound bloody awesome!
credit the mics used too. they did their job well
DenverJohnBradley
credit the sound engineer who picked them, put them in the right place, mixed and eq'd them...
Anaximander29A Chances are it was Cobus himself who mic'd the kit.
Anaximander29A "This video is part of The 101 Series and was filmed, edited, engineered, mixed, mastered, and produced in its entirety by Cobus Potgieter."
Found that in the description.
Maybe the quantity of audio engineers doesn`t exclude Cobus. ;)
This cover is absolute perfection. Super talented and skilled, brother!!
Needs slightly more energy, but the actual playing is amazing.
Rest In Peace Taylor Hawkins!! Incredible drummer, this song really showcases it
This guy not only plays the drums extremely well he also entertains with the drums, thats a talent double up....jaw drop to watch.
Your playing always brings a huge smile to my face! Cobus for prez!!!!!!!!!
I have always had this thought going through my head when I've watched your covers. I love the energy you put into the performance. You're not covering, you are performing. I love the energy and passion. Especially, in the Kings and Queens cover.
That was amazing...i have been watching Cobus for years now and he has grown as a drummer so much...he is exceptionally quick now and his technique has become really really good....the thing i see is this kid spends a huge amount of time on his kit....he knows very well where each piece of equipment is and he can.play freely without having to think as much....his chops are becoming world class.
i love how it looks as if you are just freaking out on the drums and it turns out to be perfect
3:27... This captures the feeling I have everytime I sit behind the drums at home... This is the best cover I feel Ill find ever!
Every years, so many new channels doing drum cover. But I'm still return here, to watch legendary and unbeatable Cobus.
Same here!
incredible job! What makes you my favorite drummer is how you expressive you are in your playing. It makes it much more entertaining to watch
Those cymbals at the start really killed it
Only a few people can play like this and still be tight. Cobus is certainly one.
Being a hardcore Foo Fighters fan and considering The Pretender to be one of the best from them, it was still refreshing to hear this different "spiced" up cover. Nicely done!
I have been watching your videos since middle school, yet you never cease to amaze me! Well done!!!
this is awesome.
Putamerda! 7 anos depois e esse cover continua sendo um dos mais fodas.
Cobus!!! 🙌🙌🙌 I’m so glad you covered this song!!! RIP Taylor!
I never had a idol, but now after 15 years searching i finally found one!
You rock Cobus!!
What if I say i'm not like the otters
I almost spit out my Miller High Life on my monitor........lulz!
hahahaha
3:40 That face!!! XD
xDDDDD
LMAO AHAHAHAHAHA
It's 3:38...
Janakoi
J
I never bored watching this
It's great to see 4 cymbals all swaying at the same time!!!! Excellent, as always!
Can't believe the stuff this man can do with a song, adding in his own personal touches in places I wouldn't imagine it would fit :S I found some inspiration in this cover in the making of my version of the song, and would really appreciate if anyone who sees this would take a look!
Dude how long it took you to learn to play drums like that.
Forevahhh...
I'm SO GLAD you cover all the bands I like!
What can I say? That was a joy to watch...real pleasure. I'm happy to see such talented people outside there:-)
Can you do some more Avenged Sevenfold soon or some Slipknot?
That would be awesome now considering he has access to much better equipment and his drumming skills has improved so much more!
if you haven't yet, you should do Everlong
Simply amazing, drums are my favorite instrument.
Absolutely Tight as! .. & them extra drum roll fillings all around the kit in between the snare & hi-hat & all the cymbals .. Abso Fab
You have to play Red Hot Chili Peppers, my friend...
Rock band:cobus potgieter no one would ever finish
Dude you make me smile! Awesome cover!
Great cover - love the double kicks throughout! esp at the finish. Awesome!
The cymbals in this series were mixed WAY too low, especially the crashes and china. The 18" MDM crash is almost completely inaudible at some points.
Will Bainbridge maybe he wanted to emphasize the snare and toms more?
I was thinking the same thing. Think they forgot to mic them up lol.
No idiot, just a mistake
Estoy por audicionar para una nueva banda.
Ya hablamos. Les pase un video para que vieran algo de como toco. Les gusto, pero para dar más con la onda de la banda me pidieron si podía grabar mi versión de este tema.
Ojala me salga así de bien como la tuya Cobus!
Saludos desde Argentina ;)
Congratulations you are a great musician .... always looking for excellence !!!!
OMG Cobus!
My face just melted off!!!!
AWESOME!
He was missing fills towards the beginning and that disappointed me because that's one of the best parts of the song....but overall he definitely made the song his and didn't just copy it
check out my covers on my page!
4:40 The way he says years, sounds like when Donald Trump says: "Huge".
Thanks for making my day :P
simply amazing. job well done.
I don't get why all these people are hating on you cobus, you're a great drummer and I'm still a fan, keep drumming man, you're great!
Luis Suarez drummer?
I love Cobus, but there are times when the drummer needs to calm it back just a tad. Taylor did that, Cobus added some intacacies that I felt were unneccasary
greatest drumm cover of this song i ever heard.
I love this cover man" You'll always putting your touch!
Great cover but the volume mix is awfull, way to loud kick and Toms. The snare doenst really cut through, and your overheads are too quiet, at least that's my opinion
I didn't like the cover. You are an amazing drummer, but this song doesn't need that much fills and little tricks. It doesn't add anything, and the vibe of the song isn't great. In this song, the fills should be in the final chorus. This gives more variety in the song, and a build-up to the songs progression.
Totally agree. He also messed up the bass drum pattern in the first verse. The bass drum should play *with* the rhythm guitar, not in between the rhythm guitar's notes.
Y'all are wrong he played so OUTSTANDING
The intensity was incredible!!
Awesome Samson mic's. And so awesome playing!!
Sub-fucking-scribed
Honestly, not the best Cobus cover. This makes me appreciate Taylor Hawkins so much more... it's so hard to mimic his sound. Technically, this song is not super difficult, but no one drums it as well at Taylor (who Dave Grohl considers to be one of the best rock drummers of all time). Most of Cobus's covers elevate the drumming, but this one not so much.
tjdrummer90 Taylor Hawkins is indeed an absolutely amazing drummer. One of my big idols when it comes to drumming. He has such an original style of drumming. Cheers :)
tjdrummer90 Taylor is GREAT! If I was a kid in my 20's I would be all over his style and passion. Never overplays, amazing energy and stage presence/look...created to play drums in a rock band seen by millions and can sing really good too.
Nailed it on Hawkins...most can't see past technique and miss completely feel and energy...Hawkins IS rock n rock energy! Funny how drummers give the AC/DC guys a pass but with Taylor, they are critical...absurd! Jealously is ugly...
Not sure they give the AC/DC guy (Phil Rudd)a pass. I have seen him in a number of worse drummers ever, but I now what you mean. Some drummers have IT. Some don't (Presentation, style, fills. etc).
read the description below the video, he explains why this cover was not as good as others
this is good and well done Cobus
Cobus, you are the best drummer on UA-cam. MeytalCohen tried this song and she was solid at best. You have this tendency to somehow make your drum covers unique and original and I strive to be as creative as you. Fantastic cover.
I was just going to say I dont like it, but here is why I was going to say that: If he only had 39 views and 2 subscribeers, I would say 'Well done, man!'. But with so much views, hes almost got a civic duty to be spotless and throw people in the right direction. What he is doing is doing a sub par performance with mainstream production values to it. The good old TV trick.'( It will make a star out of a shmuck kind of thing) Artistically speaking, his playing is all over the shop, and nothing goes with nothing, he is not adding anything to anything except one thing: Publicity, income (views + subs), promotion for DW (cool dudes that rock play DW). I love the guy and want the best for him, but I hate mainstream shit that sells cheese toastie as if it was caviar paste on french farmhouse bread.
Anything, but shallow. I'm just being honest to what I thought and shared it to see if it would ring true with some other folks. Don't mean to offend or take away Cobus' merits in any way.
If you can spit out all that bullshit you should be getting more views then.
It's not about views dude, we're musicians after all. Having said that, I'd love to make a fortune off youtube and pay off my house and loans. However, I dont get views, but I get gigs and respect. I'm a much better drummer than Cobus and you all, and that makes me a rich man :) how about that for a shallow view?
Luis Malvessi he has his own band and plays in gigs aswell , still dont know why your talking all this shit other than you wishing you were this good
I sure wish I was as good as someone that I took the time to comment about how he is not as good as he is painted to be. Sure, that makes sense. I'm the one talking bullshit. I wish I was as good as Steve Jordan, man.
Kind of ruined the song for me with all of the unnecessary fills and exaggerated showmanship.
but then without them it wouldn't really be a cover
This man is very passionate with what he does, and he does it well.
a true wonder of the world is seeing a master practicing his craft
You play very well, powerful and precise at the same time!!! Many compliments! :)
YOu can't cover and Change a song already perfect. Sorry It sounds awful... keep covering pop crap music you are best at that
Dousch. Nothing else to say
Zogztube Is that so? Probably every song he has covered sounds better with his drumming added to it, and it's the exact same thing with this song! It sounds great, and besides, what's so crappy with pop music? Pop music can be challenging too if you just want it to be. You can turn a completely standard pop song into a progressive pop song, and same goes for any music genre really.
I bet you haven't even noticed that Cobus is doing ghost notes on quiet a few "pop crap" songs? That is, if you even know what a ghost note is. Go puke your poop out of your mouth somewhere else or just shut the fuck up! Because you don't know anything about music!
I don’t know why anyone would give you a thumbs down... typical people always have some shit to complain about. You did awesome man!!
You're one of the GOAT COBUS
just perfect as usual!
Awesome cover Cobus!
Cobus is one of the greatest young drummers I've ever heard
This men is one of the best drumers in the history!!!!
Cobus = best internet drummer alive.
Cant wait until you preform live
Love how the toms sound!
It has become a trend to dislike Cobus' covers cause nobody in the right mind could legitimately not like this:P
You is surreal Cobus. Foo fighters its very good . Your fan of the Brazil
love this, dude !!!
Can't help but love the smiles... like always =3
Hey man im from S.A. too and i just wanna say congrats on making it this big it gives me hope that we're moving forward and i just wanna say that your drumming is "vrek lekker"
Well not sure why I never searched Pretender drum cover until now but happy to find this albeit 8 years late but damn awesome rendition.
Awesome kit

Those toms do... They sound amazing
Im not a drummer but can still sense that this is one difficult songs to drum at. Impressive stuff by Cobus
