He's the ideal modern drummer. No classy beats, just superb improvisation to songs.  :-)

Nice one sirs...keep it coming guys..m looking for more opinions regarding him...

Better yet, maybe you could also include your favorite "cobus" video to date...hehehe..i will start..

For me it would be the Pop (nsync), Umbrella (Vanilla Sky), and Burning up (Jonas Bros.)

He opened my eyes to pop drumming..hehehe...cheesy.. :cry:  :-D

I don't think he used drumless tracks.

Quote
*RECORDING*

I miced each individual drum (snare top AND bottom were miced), plus two overheads, ran this through a mixer, got a decent mix and recorded with ONLY *ONE* stereo channel.. no multitrack recorder(s) :) I compressed the final mix to HELL.. to get a more aggressive sound, to make it sit better in with the original song (and hopefully overpower the original drums), detailed compression settings: 20:1 with a threshold of -20db and a compensation gain of 15db, with both seperate channels (LEFT and RIGHT, from the mixer) sent to a stereo sub-group, and the compression settings applied to THIS group, it gave a nice compact and aggressive result.. further mastering was needed to equalize the final mix and control peak levels and such.

--quoted from his youtube page

Madly compressed lang yung track.

Anyway, there are sites for drumless songs out there. Yun nga lang, mostly sikat na songs lang.
