man i remember watching this dudes cover a freakin decade ago. man doesnt look a day older.

[@xblizbroke]

Uh. He definitely looks at least 20 here. He looked 12 for the first 5 years though.

[@goktugbasaran7591]

2:12 is one of the best fills I've ever heard... 4 snare 4 base clash snare 4 floor toms. the sound is just amazing... I've probably listened to that part 50 times.

[@MrDalekJD]

I've been subbed for literally 10 years and the original cover video was what made me subscribe. Feeling hella nostalgic watching this. Thank you for covering this song again!

[@AbdulRahman-zx1js]

Me too

[@j05h885]

@Kenny Fred Gonzalez 2.3 Million people disagree with you. Troll.

[@drock11]

Yooooo I’ve been subscribed since I was 16 I’m 31!!!

[@madetera810]

That’s a crossover lmaooo

[@mattc7615]

Same dude

[@KriptoMuhabbet]

2:00-2:20 hands down one of the sickest sequences ever on a drumset

[@nategordon3946]

Agreed! I can't help but move to the beat

[@nikibronson133]

For real its sick af

[@nikibronson133]

There's some other really good ones like live Frankenstein or some Cosmic slop by Parliament Funkadelic but this is definitely really good like this is up there

[@Mububban23]

Those cymbal spins at 2:48 were just glorious showmanship :-)

[@kleinBeule]

Dang, that snare punches AND breathes!

[@cobuspotgieter]

kleinBeule HAHAHAHA touché 👌🏼

[@christopherseymour5210]

The whole kit makes my ears very happy. Beautiful tone.

[@lifeofapotato4595]

just cherry bomb thing man

[@goshareyourown]

Godfather of covers ain't messing around.

[@BrooksHolt]

Dem cymbal grabs doh!

[@chrisdavid1512]

Right!!!

[@Keffin1]

Please do a throwback to your Kelly Clarkson cover.

[@Flashzinh0]

I wish i could like your comment more than once. This is literally his best cover. I would love if he did it

[@otonielcarlos2099]

Kevin Wong I think he is going to save the best for last... fingers crossed

[@nickdukeman8503]

I mean there’s already so many videos of him doing live performances of that cover as well as Kesha’s Tik Tok (look at some expos and clinics that he was apart of). They’re great covers but I think Cobus is probably making this Throwback Setlist on songs that weren’t as exposed as other ones.

[@MichaelSacamos]

This May or June...

[@misterjustincool]

Wish granted

[@arturolex8725]

I'm crying Man... That was the best video on KZbin. Please, upload both

[@JpDubbed]

I know right?!

[@vladimirostanin6626]

Sup! Check it out new drum video “Prodigy Drum Mash-Up” on mu KZbin channel! 😎🤘

[@TheSwede9]

You are the most talented musician I've ever seen man. I remember watching your original videos from the south african church setup and following you for a ton of years now, always come back to rewatch old videos. You're the fking man.

[@Samxsonite505]

This man ages like a fine wine

[@LindseyRayeWard]

HECK YES. This is friggin awesome

[@Lohges]

I'm a simple man. I see Cobus, I watch and upvote Cobus.

[@coreymcmullan9011]

I remember being 10 years old and watching your covers every single day on loop! These remakes that you're doing are bringing back some memories of when I first started playing! You're the man Cobus, one if my biggest inspirations. You're part of the reason I started to play drums and I thank you for that!!!!

[@MaverickCraig26]

This is the first cover I ever saw of yours back in ‘08! It made me want to drum! And here we are 11 years later with the new one! What’s great is being able to see your technique now, especially with that floor cam, and how your musical ability has grown. So crisp and smooth and better than ever. Rock on man, this is fantastic.

[@drummerpr25]

I remember the original cover of this and thinking this was the best drummer ever When I was 14... I’m 24 and still think he’s the best!!

[@matteotontodonati1869]

Love this throwback series! Every video is as good as they were back in the day with a fresh look and some sexier chops!!!!!

[@johero44]

People like you always do their best ...

[@AussieKnickFan]

This re-cover just shows how far you’ve come over these years Cobus! You were amazing years ago and somehow gone to ANOTHER LEVEL!!!

[@LukeDatema]

This might be your best video ever. Kit sounds amazing. Groove is thick. Cymbal chokes are DEAD ON. Next level stuff, dude. Can’t wait for more.

[@AuroraDante]

After all those years, you still never fail to amaze me. You're an incredible drummer and human being. Much love ♥♥♥

[@JpDubbed]

I know right!?!?!

[@hakai0176]

bro been here like 10 yrs. and still believing your skills!!! keep it up!

[@sianthompson8638]

that snare is soooo funky... love the sound

[@dragracingpainter4462]

Good job Cobus!! Choking the hell out of the cymbals on this one! Impressive playing all the way through !

[@ori1406]

One of the tightest covers I have heard

[@Darry1acw579]

Cobus, one of the greatest! love watching his drumming! incredible , gifted and talented!

[@juventus4214]

The Messi of drums.....no doubt possible!!!!

[@justinepasco7348]

Next Cover: Facedown by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

[@MKRocker2012]

I have a feeling he's going to end the series with that. By far one of his best covers ever.

[@giordanbraun3574]

yeeeeessss the beeeest :)

[@alfredthebigasshousespider9650]

nah man, that one is already perfect :)

[@Toulouse41000]

Fucking awesome, I had to replay some parts of it many times to understand what was happening. SO SO GOOD.

[@alevgmola]

that triplet pattern still giving me chills after 10+ years...

[@swotlily144]

You are the only drumer on youtube that I would watch the full video of.

[@cassaundrawilkerson244]

Watching in 2022, that was pure fire🔥

[@butter0405]

Love it! Old song but new cover, new energy

[@austinfort5127]

Dude. This threw me way back. So nostalgic! I used to watch that original cover on repeat in grade school. More than cool to watch you cover it again more than 10 years later.

[@bajbernardino2789]

Let get it started? You started it insane Man!.

[@TreeForDev]

Awesome!! I listened this one so many times, even burnt it on a CD

[@mankuwait9072]

Please make cover beautiful world by westlife cobus thank u

[@laideetena39]

Fan since 2010! He never disappoints! This is sick 🔥

[@Shara7h]

10 years on, no energy lost..!! Absolutely mindblowing as always..!! 😎🤘🏼

[@joedaquila]

This is one of my favorites here. So many intricacies that are executed masterfully! I am not a huge fan of this song but you showcased true talent here.

[@pedroped5968]

Your fav. Beat bro! ❤ love from Canada/Philippines!

[@giuseppemirkolococo7561]

Best drummer on KZbin ❤ Love Cobus! Sound great

[@JpDubbed]

Seriously tho 👌😅

[@deputyseal409]

Cobus is awesome, but I think Paulina of The Warning is the best drummer on KZbin. She's sixteen now and when she was only ten she did a perfect rendition of Cobus's cover for Kelly Clarkson.

[@venompools2907]

Yes Cobus is the best!! 👌

[@ojito91]

@@deputyseal409 Really? Paulina best drummer on Youtbue? Cmon man... Shes good but really? XD

[@coconutfresh9977]

cobus best... matt guire the best...

[@1414Gstevens]

I am convinced that Cobus only covers songs that he can choke cymbals. If a song doesn't allow for it he doesn't play it. Don't get me wrong he always does a fantastic job.

[@SethyTan]

That splash choke is subtle but insane!

[@soup_.69]

1:59 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@azlanshah3554]

this cover made me listen to BEP album while ago. Thanks for the cover, Legend. wish to watch more video from you. from MALAYSIA.

[@joshdrumr]

this guy's drum power is just complete perfect

[@lorienelmadeloso6448]

after watching all your drum covers for last 10 years, here I am again watching. Feeling nostalgic, you’re the best bro

[@xandervanijzendoorn]

Let's go!!! So sick 🙏 I wish I become so good as you at drumming! 🤩I am shaking This is soooo good!!!🤘🏻👏🏻

[@jannikwodzki932]

You are a monster at the drums!!!! Very good job man!

[@nmcbraine]

I saw one of your videos 12 years ago when I was in Brazil and didn't even use to speak English, today I remember you name I came to you channel. See you playing really make me realise that musicians like you were very important to me as I came to become one too.

[@igorvol7883]

You growed up dude! have seen your videos 10 years ago when you was much younger. It's nice to see how you getting better with the time and recovering songs again. you have big voice & support from me

[@RelMCProgram]

Wooh..! Those precise cymbal chokes! How many times have you injured yourself doing those?! 🤘🔥

[@FreZzaaa]

Broken fingers included.

[@michaelrafaell8245]

Imoral... Toca mto! Sou fã brasileiro

[@alexandra19198]

I'M SCREAMINGGGG this was literally my favourite OG video on KZbin, one of the first channels I ever subbed to 8 years ago and i couldn't wait for an updated cover ughhhhh yes ♥

[@TshepoMotaungreallife]

This cover is so hard gosh damn!!! Keeping the drum covers alive single handedly 😭

[@GiryGuitarist]

2:48 I love when he rolling cymbals

[@nathaly4222]

Que arraso!❤😍

[@thiagogrande5296]

So feeling, one of my favorites drums cover ever, I used to watch it like 4 times per day

[@graydonreynolds3237]

That was incredible. Your speed is phenomenal and you can see you digging playing the songs as well. That was the best rendition i have ever seen anybody play that song. You single handed cymbal mutes are next level.

[@takco2596]

No matter how hard you play, that hair manages to stay still

[@PaulDrummerOfficial]

Need only drum version !!

[@silversoundremix]

Agreed!

[@jonathanroot2727]

You never cease to amaze me Cobus!! I loved all the fills and how in the groove you were, but I gotta admit the true winner is the mixing! That snare punches and breathes for sure! Incredible performance dude! Keep up the good work! 👍

[@Zin1Channel]

Man I still drum to the other cover all the time! Just when you think it can't get any better, boom! This happens! I love this series, really showcases how far you've progressed as an amazin an amazing drummer. And always been a huge fan if your work, been watching you for more than ten years now! You the man!

[@thedibbfactor]

You have the sickest cymbal chokes! I love it!

[@ahduhj]

the original video was one of the first covers i’ve ever seen from you wow ! incredible (-:

[@Cuzjudd]

The most fluid drummer on Earth

[@prosenjitroy4824]

the coolest drummer ever seen.....

[@HamzaKhan-bp7pl]

Choke on meee bro instead of those cymbalssss ❤️❤️❤️

[@cobuspotgieter]

benedict cumberbatch calm down benedict

[@HamzaKhan-bp7pl]

@@cobuspotgieter your snare really breathes n punches just like u told us in the insta story maynnn

[@drummerboyatharva1562]

That fill at 1:28!!

[@nickolasbell4005]

I always wondered what your old covers would sound like now so I was beyond thrilled when you started this series! Better than I even imagined!!

[@tainuibabe1812]

Wow! I don't think I ever want to play this song on the drums again, after watching you. Amazing!! Thank you for sharing your serious skills!

"Hey, it's been a while since I last saw Cobus playing Let's Get Retarded, one of my most favorite videos on KZbin of all times, lets search for it." "Cool, he did a new version this year! Let's give it a chance, but the vibes will not be there anymore..." "Holy shit, he does the intro exactly the same and he still looks the same and the vibes are still there!" "Omg turning cymbals! Why no more drummers do that? It looks cool!" Not dissapointed, sir, keep up the good work! I love the way your sticks fly through the air :)

[@dk_noobmaster46]

Fabulous!!!!! i am still waiting for "Afterlife" tho :"v

[@andreaaldy697]

Me too dude.

[@Toxicfox63]

Yesss! Your original cover of this song was one of my all time favorites of yours, but this just blew me away! I was smiling through the whole thing. I love the work you do man.

[@Finch33093]

one of the covers that originally pulled me in. so cool to see you update it

[@fitzman86]

Cobus.. I feel honored to write on your KZbin. I've been following you for a while. Like years. I am a drummer myself. And I have even modeled my own kit after you. You are a gift from heaven man! Please don't stop! We love your style, sound, and personally; just you man. No homo. ... but.. a request.. Not sure if you have heard of them.. but they play some similar to what you cover. Gojira. Low Lands. It's a beautiful song. The lead singer's mother passed away, and they wrote this song. But I wanted to write you and actually request a song. You play everything I like. I have a whole playlist of "Cobus". But I feel you should check out, "Low Lands", by Gojira. I know you would do a beautiful cover!! Check it out! and rock on!!

[@roeiamr]

Awesome! Maybe a Dream Theater cover next? 😉

[@rakaakbar1673]

That won't happen. Because now Cobus only makes #ThrowbackSeries which means he will only cover the drums that he has already covered.

[@viveksingh-nt3po]

I watch your videos when i wake up and before going to bed..what a pleasure!!

[@nickolasbell4005]

Nothing makes my day quite like seeing Cobus properly shred on drums!

[@feras6722]

Please make a cover for Killswitch Engage - The end of heartache

[@Andy4543]

i remember watching your first cover of this song everyday, your covers got me into drumming and i got my own kit now and i love it, check out some of my drum covers

[@Hotecce1]

man, this is the most creative and unique drum cover ive seen. They way you spun the rides, amazing. The the ending was better than a fade out.

[@leohausen]

The monster is back !!! Amazing cobus, congratulations!

[@BashIpsen]

Tbh. I liked the first cover more. Low key and not too overdone. Still awesome though (:

[@kassiooliveira6396]

0:57 - 3 hi-hat beats, 4 hi-hat sounds... 🤔🤔🤔

[@pleasantmoment]

wow!!! 11 years ago i've subscribed on you because of "let's get it started" cover and now you do it again! historical moment! awesome as usual ❤

[@hollyjohnson2165]

The energy you give off is so strong, you always give it your all in your videos ❤️

[@pedrolacerdam]

If exist a better drummer, i really unknown... Thanks for this! You're amazing. Greetings to a Palmeiras fan from Brazil

[@detekwatson9743]

Super crisp, note perfect and awesome cymbal chokes. Yet another faultless performance. You were put on this planet to inspire others to be the best they can be. Fenominal !!!

[@anuragsindhu1994]

Watching your videos till the end is not so rare...

[@drummerboyatharva1562]

This is what I was eagerly waiting for!! Great cover Cobus!!

[@MrTangl]

amazing! That level of energy combined with that precision!

[@MasterVDrumming]

That fill in the beginning gave me goosebumps

[@akhileshnair13]

For some reason watching you play is somewhat satisfying

[@kruse8888]

This cant be taught, its pure talent at its best. BIG 👍 from a +30year veteran.

[@berberdodo]

One of my go to guys when in need of inspiration for practice and flailing !!...

[@eyesburning]

That was definitely my favorite Cobus cover back in the day! Thanks for replaying that one!

[@Deodenthedisturbed]

2:20 that transition just gets me pumped every time

[@clanwaddell5628]

Best version of this song. Thanks to this flawless drum performance
