Laus Deo Semper www.CobusPotgieter.com http The Michael Jackson Tribute mini-series is me paying my respects to one of the most influential musicians to ever have lived. I absolutely LOVED jamming along to these song by MJ, the grooves are an incredible amount of fun to play 
RIP MJ. I have to emphasize, I know calling this a “cover” is wrong, seeing as I only PARTLY stayed true to the song’s drums (or lack thereof), through the WHOLE song I play some variations of the beats, phrasing and fills, since 99% of what I play is improvised. Even though I have done my fair share of session and studio drumming, that has little to zero effect on these video’s, I kind of see them as live performances. I’m NOT aiming to be accurate to the original drums, I’m just aiming to enjoy myself. And I thoroughly succeeded in doing that, might I add Michael Jackson – Smooth Criminal from the 1987 release “Bad” is the copyrighted property of its owner(s). (External) Drums by Cobus Potgieter.

MJ came back in spirit form , and played the song the way he wanted it
If MJ was still around, Cobus would be his drummer.
Or everyone’s drummer for that matter….

Hare Krishna is a great religion, for a school trip we all visited a temple and it was an amazing experience that greatly moved me

Is it just me, or does it kinda look like he’s imitating a moonwalk with his hands at 3:51? lol

@CrustyFace to be excact, those spikes cause anti gravity
@CrustyFace i know that i found that out during the past year
@sosor3l
So glad he did!
@TheRayquaza93
Watch the floor shortly after they slide away from the lean, you can see little spikes sitting up. MJ actually invented the special boots they are wearing for this entire song and he has patents on it. Clever man!
THERE IS A MAGNET UNDER THERE…
