BY FAR one of the most fun songs I have ever recorded. The cool thing about it is, it's one of those songs that you'd almost never think of jamming along to.. But I can TOTALLY recommend this song for every drummer to try out; SICK pieces to improv to.. so much fun it could be illegal.

30 лет не брал барабанные палочки в руки, но это нечто . Просто сносит крышу и вгоняет в ностальгию. Это лучший драм кавер на эту музыку, который я слышал. Спасибо!!!

You may look at the cover of "EL ESTEPARIO SIBERIANO" / "FREESTYLER | BOMFUNK MC'S - DRUM COVER." It may change your mind :D @avancake

Please tell me what you think after you watched El Estepario Siberiano!

[@MachineThatCreates]

A lot of drummers have tried this one but nobody does it as good as Cobus. So sharp,so clean.

[@Tessulandia]

You are right,yes

[@prkic2]

Cobus was great, but others can nail it, too. Watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sImygaaupMd-idE

I beg to differ kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYKWnaasn9B9hqc

[@fistan5447]

watch el estepario siberiano version. As always he makes it too busy but, what he does well, he does it perfectly.

[@MachineThatCreates]

@@fistan5447 nah..he's just too busy. Too much ratatat. Sometimes one beat requires just one note....not 4.

[@oHawkeyeo]

On a nostalgia trip and listened to the original recording but realised it wasnt my favourite version and couldnt understand why. Thank god the thumbnail for this cover was in the feed.

[@haizrocdrums6020]

[@mattdewsbury]

[@jeffhendrickx7763]

How can you dislike this? Why does KZbin show me this now and not 10 years ago? This is definitely my favorite drum video on KZbin!

[@q4rty]

10 years and youtube has finally showed me this vid

[@farqall2011]

q4rty lol i was thinking the same thing must have been the snap

[@minmogrovingstrongandhealthy]

I am on KZbin from the early days, had partnerships, collabs etc which will be 20 years or so and never seen this video here until now. The name is familiar even the video itself is but bet I seen it just rather in passing somewhere on another website then lost it forever ... well again until now. BUT I have an plausable theory why we never seen it. Due to copyright strikes I bet this video was made private, unlisted / hidden for decade or so only to be uplisted again lately with a clearance. I use to upload things (not on this channel but others) and got flagged, the ones that were not auto-deleted or banned I made them private, unlisted it and 10 years in the copyright strike lifted since the copyright itself vanished. So I managed to save bunch of videos that way. They existed but only privately.

[@lukaskopecky1814]

[@Fifoskaterboys]

This video aged brilliantly. Still blown away. New account. New decade of my life. This video still rocks.

[@quiksilvermbd]

You should totally re-cover this song. All these years later -- I'd be curious to see how your style has evolved.

[@inaazarcon5049]

[@EvergreenOliviaTV]

[@RythymBeast]

​@@NateGoesOutsideyou're cringe, bro.

[@RafidAziz91]

Some will disagree with this but at the time this video was released I’d argue that Cobus was THE drummer that started to popularize drum covers on KZbin!

[@millacentbystander2992]

Dude is incredible. I haven't played in years I miss my drum set so much and this brings back just passion for drumming and the creation of music. Music is something that the hole world has in common. Music can move people in ways nothing else can. I love heavy metal and punk, all this loud and I'll say this the people that go to those concerts can be some bad peeps but my first concert was children of bodem and I dislocated my shoulder in a mosh pit and a monster of a guy picked me up and walked me back to my seat so I was safe but that's the environment music creates big or small mean or kind we are all here to listen to the music that gives us power. There was a time in my life where I believed that if music was taken from me I wouldn't survive. Its powerful and its there for you when nothing else can be. Breath music my brothers and sisters, breath it in and embrace it as it embraces you. Be well my family....and always Rock On!!!!!

[@shanebillard156]

Cobus is what happens when you practice a lot. This boy is so good at his craft it exude from every part of his being. I personally think he is one of the best drummers in the world.

[@eminzeynali6325]

Dude added what was missing in this song. Live heavy metal drum line with jazzy additives. Thousand respects!! P.S. With slap bass line a'la Marcus Miller there will be a masterpiece

[@anonymouzxx]

Yeah, actually I didn't like this song very much when it was released cause of "dry" drum machine that was typical to all eurobeat-style songs of that era.

Goosebumps all over my body. My god give me a Time machine, back to the 90's. It was so diverse in styles, there was something for everyone, rock, techno, reggae, rap...
