30 Seconds To Mars - Vox Populi (aka Call To Arms)

This cover was recorded between 30 August 2010 and 1 September 2010 as part of The Fuego Series, released early 2011. NO drum replacement or triggering was done in this series, what you hear is just a mixed version of a 100% acoustically produced track.
______________________________
Whattt an epic song! Sheesh. I find that the covers people respond to most are the most sincere and passionate ones, regardless of any other external factors. I absolutely LOVE this song, and apart from the very "new-age" message, This Is War is a melodically monstrous album. Increeeedibly fun and expressive songs to play along to.
An interesting note.. we reskinned the kit right before we started recording, so the skins naturally went out of tune a little, and we had to keep an eye (ear?) on them. The snare, on the other hand, completely went out of tune towards the end of No More Sorrow (which was recorded right before this) and we only noticed it at the end of the recording of Vox Populi. This was a huge problem since I was too tired to try and "replicate" my first REAL performance, but since I've mixed MUCHHH worse recorded audio, I was brave enough to give it a go :) That's why this snare tone is completely different than the rest of the series, much less tone and resonance and MUCH more attack. It fits the song incredibly well, though, for which I am super super grateful.

I can’t believe it’s been 10 years. I remember watching this when you first made it.
I was in college when this cover came out!
4:15 - 5:31 aka the reason i still come back every once in a while. Can't believe that this video is actually out for more than FOUR years!
9! but yeah. same reason. i watch this at least once a year
4 years old and still the best drum cover ever....#classic #cobus
When my 5 year old son asks what is happiness, I'll show him this video.
5:11 is a deserved smile, for such an amazing cover of this song. :)
5:08-5:31 is the best part. Epic. Gives me chills every time. Well done, man.
Neraly 4 years down the line and I still think this is one of the best drum covers ever made and probably the best produced drum cover ever made!
Watching this to hype up for my maths exam, should be studying but somehow i feel this is more productive.. Nice work Cobus.
every fucking time i watch your cover. i feel so energetic !
7 years later... This is War and Vox Populi are definitely the 2 covers that has inspired me the most, these covers are the most awesome and chilling to listen/watch to
The reason so many love Cobus' covers is not because he has insurmountable talent.
He is skilled, sure, but his technique, his demeanor behind the kit, they're all so professional and so fun to watch. His covers are very clear, consistent and creative, unlike most of the other drummers on CZcams, which is why I and many others like Cobus.
Keep up the good work!
9 years ago I remember commenting on this video cuz I loved and was so inspired. Still feels the same today! Great work Cobus!
This is just so epic from start to finish. you look so happy while playing this!
So many years have passed since I’ve started watching your channel, and as a a drummer, to see you progress like you have is incredible. Still in awe of this video
ever since this video came out this became my favorite song to play on the drums. 8 years later and i’m still coming back to see this masterpiece of a cover
7 years later and keep coming back to this... So awesome!
30 seconds to mars is so much fun to play. I actually started with the kill, it was one of the first songs my band played :)
The thing I love about Cobus the most is his dedication and feeling put into the song. Whenever he hits the drums I have the feeling that he forgets everything else and become one with the rythm. Thank you Cobus, for every video u've recorded and every sound that u've made. U're the motivation for me to continue my drum practice.
Dear Cobus,
To have a quest in life is easy, you look in a direction most appealing and move forward. The successful are either those who perfect, and those who leave no obstacle unconquered. I have given up on playing for the past 4 years because my family disapproved of this career idea while others said I was talented. I saw your videos and because of you I got back into my quest. And because of you, I have made a career out of it. I owe everything to you. Thank you Cobus.
having toured with 30stm last year and having had the pleasure of meeting shannon and listening to his drumming I gotta say your drumming is as powerfull and tight as his... Very impressive!
Damn I haven't played the drums in years and watching this just gets me pumped and want to get back into it. Awesome vid! To me seems like your recruiting more drummers lol
He always multiply the energy of a song to make it great to watch and listen to his covers. Everything is just awesomely epic. All the songs he covered has been Cobused!
I've watched Cobus's videos for about 8 years now.. I've seen every cover he's put out and to date none of them fill me with such emotions as this one. His double-timing of that last chorus gives me goosebumps and even tears every single time!
2,807,495 ?
I think Im the 500,000 views of it .. and still countin' ..
Damn good cover
500.000x373 secs = 186.500.000 secs
186.500.000 / 60 secs = 3.108.333.33 mins
3.108.333.33 / 60 mins = 51.805.55 hours
51.805.55 / 21 hours = 2158.56 days
2158.56 / 365 days = 5 years 9 months.
so you're watching this for 5 years and 9 months? right...
Can't believe this is 4 years old.
+Wawawaw Wawawa Yeah 4 years ago and I'm awesome yet
6 years*
I can't believe this is 7 years old now....
8 years. still remember the moment heard this for the first time. damn times flying..so fast
It's been more than 6 years and I still come back every now and then. I just LOVE your passion especially from 04:15 and onwards!
The main reason why I love this.. is that it because it looks like you're truly enjoying what you do. Keep it up man. It's your joy and your excitement in playing that truly draws us. The music is just an added bonus.
BEAST
I don't what to say man. You're just too cool.
If I could wake up to this cover every morning, I would never have a bad day in my life.
This is by far the best cover he's done!
Your videos still evoke so much emotion after these years. You are a hero of mine
cobus u"re the man
5:09 most beautiful moment of my life :D
This my favorite Cobus cover. Not for the technical stuff and the drum fills, but for the reason that I can feel the emotion flow out of the drums and it is beautiful
every single second of this video makes me feel like i should be doing something incredible, definitely not sitting on a chair with a goofy look of awe on my face. the emotion, passion, and love that Cobus puts into his work (this just seems to shine through ten-fold) is nothing sort of astonishing. don't ever quit, cobus... you truly are an extraordinarily talented and blessed individual.
It's fucking cool! I like your play so much! So energetic and live. I feel as if I'm flying :)
Fucking Amazing! :)
There are few things more beautiful than seeing a man fully devoting himself to his skill and work. No matter what it is, it inspires and sets your soul on fire.
I watched It 12yo ago and still watching 2023 I'm huge fan of your talent work my friend , thank you so much🙌🏻 #BrasilSãoPaulo
Exactly! I just came back to this after many, many years. I came across the phrase somewhere and immediately recalled this cover. Epic.
I wish this was available 1080p60.
Damn it, the chorus at the end is different on the real song :(
Cobus's version is better... AHHHHHHHH
You feel the music, almost unlike anyone or anything i've ever seen. Drums have a voice and only incredible drummers can make them speak to people. Inspiring... beyond a shadow of a doubt you keep the meaning and feeling of music true. Your videos keep me on track when I feel like putting my drumming in the backseat. Thank you "Cobus - Next Gen Drumming"
I just wanna say, You are an extremely talented Drummer. I've watched your videos numerous times just because I respect the amount of passion you truly have in playing. I hope your greatest dreams come true through playing!
awesome - more i cant say
June 2019
Just Awesome! Cobus is just out of this world. He does effortlessly what for the most is impossible. He is so humble and nice that makes him stands out over the rest including the ones from worldwide bands. Is best for him to stay alone and keep collaborating with some nice people like him.
This is the first time I've ever watched your videos and I can say with full honesty that that was one of the best drum covers I have ever seen/listened. Epic.
i looked up awesome in the dictionary and it said "see: cobus"
This is by far my favorite cover that you've done. Not because of the layering, which is awesome, but because no part of this is really complex from what I can tell. It's pretty straight forward on what you're playing. And for a song like this, that is beautiful. You don't have to over complicate tracks to make them sound great. Sometimes it's just about the simple beat, and the passion of the song that makes it huge.
Dear cobus. my name is Devin, i'm 16, ive been playing drums since i was 6. i saw one of your videos a year or two ago. and i was just in awe. even my dad who has been playing for 40 years, was in awe. i just want to you know that you're my biggest inspiration to drumming. everytime i need help with something while drumming i stop and watch one of your videos how to correct myself. keep up the amazing videos!
i remember watching cobus first a couple a years ago, and i don't know, watching this video makes me really happy for him because it shows how far his videos and channel have become from when he started making them. :) keep it bro. you're a great drummer. i really can think of any words to describe how great you are dude. continue doing your thing bro :)
This is so good! It draws your attention to all the work that goes into drumming and makes you realize that the drums are pretty much the backbone of the songs!
I have just seen the best drummer on youtube. bar none. I have been a session musician for 30 years and I swear I have never seen better. not even Portnoy or Peart..congratulations young man. dont waste it.
been watching all his (Cobus) drum covers...I've never been bored to watch all of his video...awesome dude
this video just shows how talented COBUS is , you are truly inspirational .
I still have to say that this is my favorite cover you have done. Thank you so much for doing this song, it has made my worst days turn for the better.
It's so cool to see the smile on his face and see that he's having fun, that smile shows what drumming is about!
every time i watch this video.. i suddenly have the urge to go and play the drums. You're such an inspiration! Congrats on all of your accomplishments!
As a professional drummer for over 30 years, I can say that I am most impressed by the video production company. Good job guys.
It's almost as if you're conducting an entire orchestra, rather than "only" playing the drums..... it's just amazing to watch you! The music flows through you so easily (it seems); it is actually a moving experience to see and hear this. Thank you, and good luck! (not like you need it, with all that talent)
Cobus recorded his first series in my home town of BLOEMFONTEIN!! Here in the Kovsiekerk! I remember watching him play. He has really made a name for himself and gone places! Way to go Cobus! Represent South Africa!
When power, talent, and passion met... a surge of positive energy...excellent..
This has been and will likely my favorite drum cover on CZcams. The passion man, the passion!
8 years later and it still is!
You know I use to not be able to play drums when I first found you on here back in 2008. You have really been a big inspiration to me to teach myself! Thanks man! :)
You can really see the passion he has, and the love for his drums through this video.
Dude, sorry I showed up late to this madness, that was insanely awesome, you totally rock it!
Amazing video!!! By far my favorite of yours I've watched. Great video and sound quality, everytime I watch your videos I wish I could play even half as well as you, Cobus. God Bless!
Great technique. Been following cobus since the beginning and by far is my favorite drummer.
why would you dislike this video? this video shows talent and a lot of effort and practise, keep rocking mate!
so much passion
unbelievable
UGH me saying this ISNT ENOUGH
I want to give you so much more gratitude.
Such an epic ending. This video makes me smile every time just to see your smile, showing how passionate you are about drumming is awesome
Cobus and 30 Second To Mars .... THE BEST MIX IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!! what do I have left to wish for =))
Just as exhilirating to watch as it is to try and play, and get no where close to this level..
Love the feeling and connection with the song here, every now and again Cobus gets lost somewhere in the drumming and the song, and its pretty damn magical when it happens.
Cobus, my friend, almost 2 million views in just haf a year is really astonishing!
Keep it up man,
Your'e gonna go far mate!
You have so much of my respect right now. This is a really good song and you did it perfectly, amplified the bass as well which i adore. And its such a great thing to see how into the drums you are. It inspires people. I think i can speak for people when i say you are an inspirational person. You're so amazing at this. Keep doing what you do, and don't, PLEASE, ever give this up. Keep pouring out your heart into those drums!
This is still my favorite cover you've done.
Omg...Shannon Leto himself would be so proud to see that someone has the same drumming talent as him. One word for this whole video. Amazing. Your talented dude!
This is a very passionate cover... It made me cry... The essence of drumming
i miss this hardcore cobus 🔥
it's been 11 years man ❤️
dude seriously, I'm going to make thousands, no, MILLIONS accounts so I can like this video over and over again!!!! This is freaking amazing man!!! When I play this song, I don't play the drums of the song, I always play your version. It's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better :D keep it going man
This is like legit the best cover on youtube!
This is SO amazing. You are a beyond perfect drummer.
I love how you smile while playing the drums. You truly have a passion for drumming. Stay amazing. :)
man you never failed to have surprised me with each and every cover of yours....you will soon be something...just hopin to be atleast a 25% as talented as you ...Seriously a piece of MUSIC ART !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was freakin AMAZING!!!!! I love how the music, just pumps through his veins. This is epic
He doesn't think he's the best drummer on CZcams. It's a drum cover and you can do whatever you want, drum covers are the time where you make the drums stand out and use them how YOU want to use it. It's not overplaying. He's complimenting the music.
I can see thee rhythm of the beat flow through you, i'm more of a singer myself, but i can tell you that if you were in my band we'd be so much better, our drummer right now is good, but he doesn't play with the passion you do. I can see the pulse that runs through your body, you play with your soul, not your body. Your an amazing drummer, and i can say myself from someone who has been through 6 drummers in the last year since our original died (may God bless his soul) Your the best I've seen...
Every few weeks I keep coming back to this and I'm just awestruck at this lad's talent. Just puts such a big happy smile on my face. However crap I'll be, I just have to buy some starter drums!!
I really love their covers
Every single song by 30 Seconds to Mars never ceases to amaze me.
This song is literally what got me into drumming. Thank you cobus for wht you do. It's truely inspirational
Duuuuuuuuuuude. Same here!
Dude your the best drumer the world has EVER seen!
Your Insane!!
awesome skill, technique,and great camera's shoots and angles..good job..keep up the good work Cobus.
Magnificent I have to say, I am no connoisseur in musical instuments, but I'd say this drum cover is perfect, it sounded exactly the same as the original(TSTM's one of personal favourite). Vox Populi's a masterpiece and it's in my music playlist, I listen to it everyday, but the fact that the original song only has like 800k views, is a tragic. Your cover shared this beautiful piece of work with the vast horde of fans who listen to your covers -- 2 Million Views.
Keep Up The Great Work !
i am amazed how fast you have gone up on popularity good luck on your next big thing good luck on life looks like it set from here on out!!!!!!!!!
Love seeing someone who loves 30 STM as much me. If Shannon ever breaks his arm you could fill in for him cause you nailed it. That was beautiful.
i love this song so much!! and love Cobus drum covers!! this is a perfect mix!!!!
Hi im cobus and i wake up every morning and say im gonna cover a song like a winner and totally make the artist look like a fool. god ur so good
I like it so much ! You're really talented and one of the best drummers ever !
