Lol I remember when you had a competition to see who could pronounce your last name correctly (this is like well over a decade ago) and these 2 girls made a video pronouncing it correctly and you sent them sticks, drum skins, and stuff like that. That’s how old of a fan I am I think that was like 2009 or 2010-ish.

[@cobuspotgieter]

​@@rebeccaellsbury73 Haha that's AMAZING that you remember that! Those two girls are Selena and Leah, and I think Leah was the first American I ever heard pronounce first and last name correctly 😂 10+ years ago, wild. Thanks for sticking around!

[@drew_the_drummer]

@@cobuspotgieter this was amazing! also apparently it is a small world as I found out yesterday while being interview by your friend Steve. It was super cool of him to text you literally as I was speak about how you've been an inspiration to me ever since I first saw the Fireflies cover! I hope to one day meet you in person. I know things have been rough for you the last year I just want to say keep your head up and trust God to lead you to the places, people, and relationships he wants to be in. I don't know you personally but I do feel a connection to you. I am praying for man

[@B00ZEBAR0N]

Hey @Cobus - I commented last week downstream about you breaking the 1M+ Subs mark!! Was good intentioned, and just meant as a celebratory message - Of course no good deed goes unpunished and sure enough; a few days later “Someone” pretending to be you (Cobus31 or 51?) posted something like “congrats’ “here’s a special gift for you!” then gave a Cobus telegram address asking to be contacted for my “surprise”. I then checked their account just to discover that they’ve posted this same type message to many other ‘celeb accounts’ anytime someone gives them props for breaking a huge subscriber milestone… So; obviously it’s not you; nor is there any “surprise” awaiting me (except some sort of scam or con I suspect). Sorry to be the bearer of bad news - but think we need to fix this so some young kid doesn’t get sucked in - and was thinking maybe you could maybe put out a “general PSA” or the likes to your million followers in your next vid or post something on here saying it’s a scam and it’s not you? However you wanna handle it - I’ll leave it up to you. I’m just the messenger here. Contact me if you need more info or help. Cheers mate BB

[@BrandonScottDrums]

LOVE the way this is put together. Such great hangs with you man!!!

[@BrandonScottDrums]

Also, to whoever edited this… love the masked transition at 11:22. 👌🏼

[@nattauer6715]

Love you!

[@AlejandroSifuentes]

This was so much fun to watch 😂 and cereal is definitely a soup!

[@jeremiahsmarketing]

It was actually much fun to watch

[@nattauer6715]

Love you!

[@jburdsbeats]

HOT TAKES 👍👍 Thanks for having me!!! 😊

[@SoleymoonPercussion]

Cobus you're a breath of fresh air, never quit, you're an inspiration to so many 🤗

[@BrandonToews]

Dude this was SO good! Great to hang 🙌🏻

[@nattauer6715]

Love you!

[@JoshDrumClass]

Hahahaha this was great!!!!! 😆😆😆

[@LindseyRayeWard]

"LeBron James' house" was the best answer of the entire video for sure.

[@JoshDrumClass]

@@LindseyRayeWard 😂😂😂

[@marcusthomas88]

this was dope man!

[@chalinothebest]

I've been following you for like 12 years and you are a big inspiration for me man, Thank you for everything!

[@bringoutthegold]

Incredible! Such fun conversations alongside powerful messages weaved in - love it!

[@pataudi8025]

Your mental health video really helped me as well. The point you mentioned about just doing something unrelated to your profession and having fun with it is stuck with me now. This was such a great video to see you all meeting up and having fun! Thank you for your videos Cobus! ❤

[@samgodzwa7927]

Cereal is not a soup, it’s a stew. Soups are typically relatively uniform liquids. Stews, on the other hand, have large chunks of ingredients floating in a liquid. Cereals are large chunks of grains floating in milk.

[@Sonatarium]

Couldn't have made me more emotional. Drums are just unconditional love man...😭

[@eggsbigman7200]

Bleed by Meshuggah is the correct answer for a lot of drum related questions.

[@luisinho1059]

Dude best ending ever!!! “scuse me lady” 😂😂😂😂

[@Archeryattack]

This was so good, how has this not had more views!

[@jadeagles20]

So happy you got over that 1M subscribers! Cheers to you! Much love! Been following you since 2009

[@andredejager2497]

Massive well done to whoever filmed, edited and colour graded this! Cobus, jy is 'n legend en dit was awesome - jou vrae was epic!

[@B00ZEBAR0N]

1 million subs - Congrats mate! 👍🏻

[@davidlittle04]

Did I see sugarfoot at 11:31!? This is probably one of my favorite videos of yours. Keep up the killer content. You constantly impress me with your humility, humor, quality of videos, and joy you bring to YT!

[@eastonotsae]

its always a good day when Cobus posts

[@mik0t0su0h6]

4:22 Lukes answer killed me HAHAHA

[@JulesO]

You're such a cool dude, Cobus. I am willing to make a trip to NAMM just to be able to run into you and have a quick chat. I am an introvert and mostly avoid crowded spaces. lol I feel like I just introduced myself on a AA meeting.

[@Rybaq]

Why am I grinning? Midway this video I realized my mouth starts to hurt from smiling :D thanks for the video Cobus! :)

[@shedtracks]

Love this!

[@JDog88]

This is such a great video, really fun to watch. Hope you're doing well, Cobus

[@mikaelbarnard5220]

Congrats on 1000 000!!🎊🎉

[@aaronsparks9012]

I love the message Cobus brings too the table about weather or not if you've ever thought about quitting so about four years ago I stopped playing the drums and took a hiya Tus for about two years due too the fact that I had been experiencing what drummers sometimes call groundhog day with my drumming that and I just couldn't simply turn it off the struggle is real my fellow drummers thanks Cobus.

[@SICRoosterKido]

Loved the video Cobus! Thx m8. (Also that part got me - 11:56 hahah)

[@EvanLikesDrums]

Such an awesome video! An interview between yourself and Jessica would be great to watch.

[@CymbALcase]

"The sixth circle of introvert hell" *stares at floor* This line killed me :D . I'm curious though: what are circles one through five?

[@andrewscott6405]

That last question actually just blew my mind! 🤯

[@mauijim3000]

such a fun video!

[@MrDinoooooo]

this was very entertaining! more of this please

[@ezarariawan12]

Been following you from 'Afterlife Drum Cover' You still the best man

[@Weusneus]

Loved this! Also got two names I didn’t know yet, so this is also great for finding new YT drummers :)

[@AliceRiobueno]

Hey, do you know what that 72 draft whatever means? Is it a telegram bot?

[@wendyraymond1751]

Very entertaining thanku so much love and God bless always x

[@fejericktorres5539]

10:08 When Luke is not really sure what to answer but still added "for sure" haha!

[@MNDrummer]

I plan on going to NAMM for the first time next year. I can't wait.

[@DanielDrummer1000]

Love this 😂❤️❤️

[@LeosNotFaking]

Absolutely loved this video

[@Slamcrash]

This was actually great :D

[@Mayhemzz]

Please tell me there's more footage, would be so cool to get a longer form video of more of the show.

[@DarkpumA787]

Just love Brandon, such a cool and funny guy!

[@j_pry1n]

Seeing you all my fave drummers in one vid is 💖💖💖

[@handidrummer]

I made the video!!!!! Still one of the best conversations I had that weekend dude. Glad I got to meet you my man

[@ssenssel]

Great video. Do more interview stuff. ❤

[@Tophi_]

you are the best!

[@dudemungas]

Cobus and Luke Holland in one place the universe cannot handle this

[@vananon51]

- paiste or sabian: Sabian currently. But because of politics, I won’t be continuing my business with them; goin with Meinl. - pineapple on pizza: NO - first song that comes to mind: Master of Puppets by Metallica - groove I can’t play: the fast double bass before the 2nd verse in “Blackened” by Metallica - 1 album to listen to forever: Master Of Puppets, Metallica - cereal is not soup. - place I want to be: with my family and havin them watch me play drums - I don’t know anything at all about music theory in any way. I play by ear and feel. - Have I ever considered quitting drums?...never. I can’t live without drums. Truly. I don’t know who I’d be without them. Everyone who knows me knows me as many things, but especially as a drummer. My ultimate career dream is to be a renowned pro drummer at any cost. - what makes me feel better: God, church, and drums - snare size: 13” x 6”. Depth and pop. Best of both worlds. My favorite snare is my 13x6 Maple by Mapex - Blink 182: not a fan - fist bumps - teleport anywhere: Metallica’s studio to meet and jam with them

[@PW_Thorn]

Cobus : Can Obviously Beary US (in is heart) ! @Cobus 🙏🙏 thank you so much for this video : you enjoy, you share, you take us (all of us) in your pocket and give us the opportunity to share fun, kind and deep words with drums iconic youtubers ! You work hard for us, but the amount of emotion you bring us is incalculable ! Thank you so so so so so much !!!

[@dgarreis]

Great video. Hmm have I ever thought about quitting drums. I did for 8 years was the worst time of my life. If you ask me today I would say yes but know I never will. I am getting older so it brings me back to my youth a bit.

[@danielpeixoto3565]

This was actually pretty awesome.

[@rmcruzo]

Really enjoyed this man! It seems that people consider quitting drums because they have strings attached such as income/commitments/external pressure not because of lack of love for the instrument =D

[@nattauer6715]

HERE FOR THIS

[@NikkLiberos]

"Bleed" By Meshuggah. YEAH

[@jakerjac]

[@VladShpiro]

Paramore self-titled, there we go. I can basically stop watching after that :) Love that album, always coming to back to it in my player... Ilan Rubin on the drums, by the way. If you haven't heard it - do yourself a favor

[@Kubox93]

[@mawashiyomiradio]

[@EmoryDrummer06]

This was funny and entertaining at the same time 😂

[@oxfordbambooshootify]

I didn't expect Luke Holland to want to teleport to my country but yeah his show here was amazing

[@NikhilMaira]

This is the best video on the internet today! I will continue to hit play repeatedly like a bee hitting it's head on the glass window. It's that good! 🔥

[@zakhedeman9396]

I live ten minutes down the road from Glacier National Park!!

[@AliceRiobueno]
