1. Cobus Potgieter

Cobus Potgieter is one of South Africa's biggest internet sensations. He's never had any drumming lessons (other than listening to music and watching drumming videos). He has a huge admiration and respect for the craft that is drumming and has a desire to be the best he can possibly be. He doesn't play the drums or practice because he has to, he plays the drums because he can't help it. He independently produces all his videos and records, sets up, edits, mixes, masters, performs in and uploads his own videos on YouTube. He used to record videos by borrowing cameras and lighting equipment when he started making videos. Nowadays (thanks to sponsorships) he has his own recording and lighting equipment.
