Hello, world!

Hello WORLD!
...(first off, I'm SO excited, there exists a very real chance that my head might explode. true story.) ok. so.

WELCOME TO THE NEW SITE!
As you can see, it looks friggin aaaaaaaaawesome (that's my handwriting up there by the way, even though it looks like it might be some 5-year old kid's) and I am SOOO stoked to have this up and running. There are SO much new stuff added, I don’t even know where to start! Let me just give you guys a rundown of the new website and the new features:

Homepage: Pretty much what it says it is :) The central starting point for the website, home base.. woot! The homepage will also show if any new products have been added, recent blog posts, as well as the countdown timer for the Cobus Live show.. which I will get to a bit later.

Check it Out:
This is the part of the website where you guys can buy some exclusive stuff, and it will be the main hub for the DVD sales. Other than the DVD you'll see we also have some other kickass products and things posted there, like hoodies (which will be made by Billabong at their head office in Jefferys Bay South Africa with my branding on it, and sold exclusively here to all of you. - SWEET!) and t-shirts and stuff (which, might I add, is something I have yet to get used to. seeing my handwriting on a hoodie.. that's some heavy cool shizzle.)

Up for Grabs:
My favourite part of the website.. FREE STUFF! Along with the regulars you guys are used to (high quality audio and video downloads of all the covers) we're going to add some other wicked cool things; small games, backgrounds, quick lessons (i.e., how to do the cymbal crossovers in Umbrella) and some other stuff all in good time so keep checking back. I LOVE this section.. heck, who doesn’t like free downloads?! :)

Blogroll:
A play on the words drum roll and blog :) Pretty much exactly that, a nice pimped out blog section where I can share some thoughts and stories; should you be interested in reading. Niklas (the brilliant developer who programmed this WHOLE mindblowing website) also added some cool toys for me to play with; so expect blog posts full of hyperlinks and images and even some flash graphics.

Say What:
The forum section! SOOOO excited about this, I am STOKED to have a place where we can build our own community around drumming. I know it might sound corny, but Say What is *NOT* going to be about me, at all. I can’t wait for it to become a place where we can swop ideas about recording covers, sick fills, equipment reviews and opinions, and a ton of other stuff. Get cracking with some wicked cool topics so I can join in :)

Cobus Live:
The Cobus Live show.. haha! :) This will be a weekly broadcast of 15minutes, I'll try to make it as interesting as possible, I promise. It will obviously be going out live, and we're going to have a chat room function going.. so if you want me to speak about something specific I'd be happy to. Heck, I might even turn the camera on my electric kit here in my room and show you guys some new grooves I came up with :) So check the countdown timer, to see EXACTLY when it will start every week.

FAQ's:
Frequently Asked Questions.. this is a section of questions that I get tons of times, answered truthfully and straight out of my mouth. If I get certain questions more than others I will add them to the list. Also, if you don’t find your answer here, just post it in the forum and I'll do my best to get to it.

Ok, Awesome, I think that clears some stuff up. The White Series has also gone LIVE if you are reading this, so please check it out and let me know what you think!

Right, enough talking. You can get to RAVAGING this website and check out all the awesome new stuff, and PLEASE be sure to join the forum so you guys can tell us what you think.

I'm off, see you in the forums!
BOOYA!
