Very good drummer to say he isn't pro. I think he has got a bit lucky though in his exposure as their will be others like him that are unheard of. Anyway worth checking out.

personally ive seen almost every video cobus potgieter has posted up on youtube and just by the number of respones that each video gets (some over now 1mil) he will definately get some recognition by that.
as far as his playing goes, one of the top consistant drummers on youtube now IMO. hand style is very relaxed and is very energetic and calm while playing. 2 qualities that are very respectable.
very good drummer indeed

He is my favourite drummer at the moment. His playing style is exactly like mine...just he is better :(

Big fan of Cobus and really looking forward to seeing his UK debut at the Jobeky Custom
Drum Festival on October 31st.

Robin Guy who I saw earlier this year, is also playing and trust me, if you like Cobus and
haven't seen Robin's unique style of drumming, you are in for a treat if you are going!

Lots more going on as well, details are here. (http://www.jobekydrums.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=79&Itemid=96)

Simply put, Cobus is amazing.

Not only do basically every single one of his covers top the original, but his style is damn near perfect. The way he physically looks as he plays is controleld yet relaxed, hes always smiling, and records almost everything on his own.
He completley dominates the world of youtube drummers for a good reason.

The kid has got something in him most of us don't. I've been trying to copy alot of what he does for the past year or two now, and while I have successfully figured out almost everythign that he does, its jsut not the same.

Edit-- its honeslty kind of ridiculous that cobus doesn't have his own page on the head Drummerworld home page or something. He's got way more talent and bigger fan base than a good chunk of the drummers listed.
