12 years ago, Cobus introduced me to A7X with Almost Easy. Now we're here. Wild full circle moment for me. Much love Cobus!

[@Miam_miam_la_gauffre]

Why would that be a circle? 😅 A7X are not done with music right? 🤔

[@GracefulSwan]

Nah it's more full circle for me personally. After all this time, this video popped on my recommended. Cool personal moment.@@Miam_miam_la_gauffre

[@pataudi8025]

That one was a killer! Cobus' Afterlife drum cover had introduced me to A7X in 2009 (he uploaded that one in 08 ofc) and that was a banger. An absolute pleasure to keep listening to Cobus shredding on A7X songs.

[@Kloud412]

This is even more satisfying to watch after watching the video of you learning the song. It shows how all that work turned into this dope ass cover 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾 you never disappoint

[@frollard]

Obligatory- Is that a dope-ass cover, or A dope ass-cover?😅

[@sentpain8354]

@@frollard i think its a-dope ass cover

[@WHoneV1]

was coming here to leave the exact same comment. Makes it soo much sweeter. Well done @cobus

[@fernandocarpinitti3706]

agree 100%

[@BryanKD35]

MORE FROM THIS ALBUM PLEASE

[@sanjithechef]

Ah yes, from the deluxe Barbie soundtrack

[@seyanasokere1529]

😅🤣🤨😒

[@jaredbaum]

I wish lmao - that's a movie i'd actually go to

[@chinjowey5762]

imagine credits roll and you hear this song. i would watch the movie just for that

[@alejandroalves9264]

😂😂😂😂

[@jackbrinskelle9640]

Learning Brooks’ part is not a simple feat! Outstanding performance!

[@pataudi8025]

Man what a video. Cobus with long hair, A7X on the cards, now not forgetting to rewind the tape for the kick drum shots, less camera angles, and the fun.

[@brunofernandes4298]

1:54 as a fellow drummer I can definitely feel that smile 😂

[@ChaerudinMaskuri]

Sangat berat pastinya

[@yom3r3ngu3s]

Easily one of the best double bassdrum lines.

[@user-oh9dx3wx8t]

Hey! Happy birthday Cobus!!! Good luck of drums,God Bless you!

[@cobuspotgieter]

Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@neilBjohn]

That was excellent! 😮 Love the cymbal adjustments at 1:09! 😂

[@lifeofapotato4595]

Can relate, drummers' OCD be like

[@SamuelZP9]

Bro, you absolutely destroyed it!!!! You should definitely consider to cover the whole album. AMAZING PERFORMANCE!

[@PoliAstroN]

Badass song, Brooks is a very groovy and unique drummer

[@Justin-px5nu]

I saw how tough the practice was, sick job man!!

[@maskijaebae353]

Brooks is simply a genius writing this song. Nice cover!!

[@jackoats4911]

This album is NOT the most commercially friendly but its undoubtedly they're mist technically skilled. The drums, the guitars, absolutely insane level of skill and intricacy

[@santiagoarciniegas722]

Dude i love the álbum but The Stage is 10 times harder

[@donatozordani]

Yeah the stage is a lot more complex with drums atleast

[@drummercarson896]

Awesome drumming Cobus. You have neat hair and a proper shirt

[@jaimelara9815]

why is nobodyyyyy talking about the ENTIRE outro improv & fills!! WOW DUDE!! 🤩🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@podcastallthingsirrelevant]

Hell yea bro...i know that wasnt easy. Awesome job man. 💯

[@benoitfan672]

This cover is sick! I started watching you at 15 when you did the Bat Country cover, and here I am at 30 still listening to you doing A7X Covers. Cheers to you mate!

[@pedrolacerdam]

My fav drummer on KZbin since 2009. Lov u, bro! Greetings from Brazil 💚🤍

[@ChipsNeeson]

Awww Yeah! Sensational job, Mate. Nailed it. The heel toe was nice to see.

[@sk8083r]

I hope you know how many drummers you have inspired. I know for a fact you started at least 7 in my neighborhood. . Legend. Sincerely, thank you.

[@burakturan2932]

I was just listening the song and saw this video. Great performance. Tutarial video about that song was awesome too!

[@dyfedjones8499]

Foooking spot on dude!! 🤘🏻👌👌👌👌

[@XBOXGUYnaPSWORLD]

I can't describe the satisfaction I had watching you play through this after watching you trying to learn it as fast as you could. I literally couldn't stop smiling as you got to each section of the cover. Always a joy to watch you work, Cobus!

[@dimasdeepee5023]

4:34 perfect !

[@clydekaila123]

BROOOOOKKKKSS 💯❤️👏🏾🔥 by COBUS..UNREAL!!!!

[@KingListener]

YES YOU DID IT!!! I have mine finished too just need to get it finalized and posted 😊

[@spencerbrown4817]

I've been waiting for a "clean" version of this cover and I'm so glad you were the one to provide a crisp performance. Been watching for years brother. Great job

[@antonioguinoo]

Ah! Very nice to see you have polished this track since the last time!

[@tonilahdelma9255]

A HUGE BANGER!!!🤯

[@shawnvmartin]

Very cool to see the finished product!

[@Archetypes_Tyler]

Revisiting this cover. That first verse groove is so fun and clean man. Well done my friend!

[@PhiferFootball]

Years of watching the Cobus facial expressions!!

[@LucasOlyntho]

Man... Brooks is a MONSTER! You're fucking awesome Cobus!

[@Jamesbonz_12]

This song makes me happy such a masterpiece

[@IamNOTyourSLAVE]

Inspiring stuff...

[@MusaTariq25]

Was so cool to see you learn this so fast and put your own spin on it. Brooks drum parts are no joke, you nailed it!

[@poutineqc9263]

That was a hell of a trip, thank you

[@Bimbjj]

DW Blues, nostalgia pure I remenber 8 years your playing your version excrilex, very very Nice, I miss you.

[@jesse40900]

Brooks is so nuts.

[@1dudecrush]

Wow.

[@ronswanson8394]

Amazing song, amazing album, amazing band, and an incredible cover 🤘🏻

[@TheSaksutin]

Your best cover yet.

[@andrewpatrick4254]

Outstanding!

[@VanAnon51]

The video of you learning this was awesome, it seeing a refined cover is just brilliant. You’re the greatest drummer on KZbin to me, Cobus. 14 year fan here from the Deedlebag days. ✝️

[@SirWilliamJ]

Loved watching the learning vid in conjuction with this one. So awesome

[@philcook6757]

haha, I love the smile after the double bass hertas, like "thank god I got it that time". lol amazing job man. Loved the video of you learning it too. Love seeing that process.

[@davidbranthwaite44]

Here we are full circle. Followed you from afterlife and now, 14 years later. Here we are dude. Personally i think WE LOVE YOU and NOTHING will go down a treat on your channel too. Keep it up bruu. ❤

[@idoperkal1355]

Amazing you actually did it🤘🥳

[@BattleBean762]

[@luluthedrummer]

4:35 LOVE THE FILL

[@NirfeDrums]

This is 🔥

[@johnnywilliam8134]

Very Impressive man, I hope to more drums cover from This Album!👍🏻

[@bamandy01]

Dude yes! Was sick to watch how you go about learning a song. Sick to see the final outcome of it! This song rips!🔥🔥

[@cheddles5329]

Loved seeing this cover from planning to end product. You're still the king Cobus

[@asamann1738]

Oh yeaaaahhhhh babyyyyyy Cobus you slay it!

[@AnkanRouth]

Cobus playing A7X .... nothing makes my day better

[@TheReverendTholomewP]

the beast is back at it again, damn!

[@TheSentinel909]

Wow, only by seeing you play this song do I realize how actually difficult this track is!

[@undahandeddrumma]

I love this new format. Learning the song and then uploading the cover. Best drum cover channel on KZbin

[@WarDrile]

Cobus NEVER disappoints.

[@Endlesspizza365]

Always killing it man! Awesome Cobus is sure to get some A7X in.

[@Joakiller88]

Fu.cking genius!! Good job bro. That previous work getting de song gives this another perspective.

[@dholanda1]

absolutily amazing, u nailed it

[@LaurenceSouthDrumsUK]

so insanely clean.

[@benp9125]

w cobus for always making covers with his own style while still retaining the base structure of the song. and done tastefully at that. i dont wanna sound like im blowing smoke either. if it heard this over the track for the song, i'd be completely content with it and wouldn't think it sounds out of place. cause thats a common issue people have when trying to add their own "flavor" to a cover but nah, in my opinion i'd say its done great. keep grinding like you always do

[@leflyxdvd]

this guy is still alive lol, i was inspired by you when learning to drum, meanwhile im an pretty decent band and was wondering about ya, thanks :)

[@gsocast77]

Great follow up after the learning and practicing video. Awesome!!

[@KidsGoneWild0814]

I asked my mom for a drumset as a Highschool Graduation gift in 2004 and I played everyday. Sorry neighbors. I started watching Cobus in 2007 and got inspired more in playing drums. I have my own family now and I’m glad Cobus still rocking it in 2024. Dang, I’m old. I hope my toddler will take interest to any instrument, he can start covering CocoMelon, Dave and Ava stuffs. P.S. I even bought some of his online tutorial videos. Really good stuff.

[@RSW_HOBBIES]

Haven’t seen you in a while man! Been watching for years🍁🔥💨

[@AmrddH]

ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT BRO!

[@BoosDosGamers130303]

O tanto que eu gosto dos seus drums covers não tem explicação 🔥

[@trentonstavely5476]

let’s freaking go! i’ve been waiting for this. great job, you are still my favorite drummer on youtube 😎

[@AmericanBastad1776]

I’ve been watching you cover my favorite songs for years, you fucking killed this track bro!!!!

[@drewrobertdrums]

Sick dude! Man i've watched you since 2009 or something like that, amazing drummer i wish you would play live more I would see you in concert with a touring act or even just videos of you performing live in your hometown local venues lol something about the concert experience and performing in front of a crowd brings out a different drummer in me at least and stretches my experience of being said drummer :) regardless keep the rock on brotha!

[@pataudi8025]

He does play some gigs and also did a US tour when he did that Ventura Lights project. Also ofc the Busted stint. Anyhow yes we would like Cobus tour, for maybe A7X haha if he gets that chance.

[@elifierro8309]

You're a damn beast! Watching how you broke the song down to learn it was certainly interesting and now here you are. Killing it!

[@Nicolas20205]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE! What an amazing play and cover. Completely sick and nailed!

[@blaisedrums]

great shit man, and congrats on the mil!

[@WannaGoToAShow]

10/10 drumming…I like the new editing style and that you considered more kick cam :D

[@little11clarinet]

You made this look much easier than it is. Like you took a water break before that one part FOR A REASON

[@Lemordison92]

The legend is back with a hat😮.

[@asamann1738]

You know it’s serious when Cobus got that hat on backwards 😁.

[@lewismaclean8849]

Another amazing cover.

[@francisconavarro9629]

The outro was sick!

[@bruinsroll8359]

The smile after nailing the double kick part at 1:52 says it all

[@igdeoka]

The sound of double bass drum 😍😍

[@takco2596]

When can we expect to see some new blink songs being covered :D Thanks for doing what you do

[@leonardopecanha4252]

Pra pegar um som do Brooks, não é pra qualquer um! Monstro, sem mais.

[@Sergioavejunior]

I JUST CANT STOP LISTENING TO THIS MUSIC! THE DRUMS ARE JUST PERFECT, LISTEN TO ME, IM NOT SAYING THEY'RE INSNE, IM SAYIN P E R F E C T AND YOU NAILED IT!

[@user-ze7mj6xj6q]

Really enjoyed your cover. Watched you learning the song. Excellent. Bring us more.

[@ShesInsideUs]

Wow, just wow! The performance was straight-up epic

[@TrevorPrinceMusic]

You’ve done it again! 😊

[@Humptydumty1]

Good cover, brooks is so great on this album

[@user-xq6sk2vc5r]

unbelievable

[@darenstafford200]

Awesome as always! Loved the video where you were learning it too!

[@diversedad7954]

As an A7 fan I still am not sure what I think of this song yet. However, this drum cover is INSANE! Such a hard song on a whole new level! Well done man. You are still one of my favorite drummers and have been since I found you almost 10yrs ago! Love your smooth style and groove.

[@N3V2-Nevto]

An Avenged sevenfold, just like i used to back in 2008 Cobus. Top tier cover 👌😁

[@TheReverendTholomewP]

You got some creative fills and additions, I love it man

[@UltimateDBZ2000]

amazing cover of a really hard song

[@HoltStudios53]

Fucking nailed it! It’s cool to see the difference in confidence here vs the other video of you breaking it down and practicing. Do the rest of the album! Lol
