Cobus - Breaking Benjamin - Breaking The Silence (Drum Cover)

[@cobuspotgieter]

Thumbs up if you're watching this in 2021 😎 UPDATE: I just released a new DRUM LESSON PACK! -> bit.ly/CobusLessons. 5 lessons, 90 minutes, for 27 bucks. It will make you better at tuning drums, mixing drums, I'll show you my practice routine, my worst habits as a self-taught drummer, and teach you one of my favourite linear licks. Thanks for being here!

[@ctskifreaks]

You are absolutely killing these re-covers. EDIT: I realize it's not a re-cover in hindsight - it was the fact on the Pop video at the end, and on this one, he calls the whole thing the Re-cover Project, is why I made the comment.

[@benjamingazdik]

+Andrew Quartararo Seriously some one call the cops, there has been a murder.

[@Azhdeen2]

+Andrew Quartararo Except this isn't a recover

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

+thedrumguy re-cover.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

+thedrumguy frosty was talking about this not being a REcover, not a cover, which the title says. recovers are something different.

[@Xeranx]

+kodiak wild Exactly. And a quick look at the description would show that this song came from Breaking Benjamin's Dark Before Dawn album released this year.

[@JustinKing94]

This year has been a good year, BB and Cobus came back! !! !

[@alanlordini2502]

BB cpt?

[@JustinKing94]

Alan Lordini Breaking Benjamin

[@gnmarte]

+Stin i thought you meant Blackberry xD

[@Arkoudos]

+Stin Still think that the new Breaking Benjamin album is subpar. Maybe thats only me ...

[@aarontena9080]

+GGOnline you also gotta think that Breaking Benjamin isn't as young as they once were lol. So for their age, and for the time they've been out of the game..it's a very well recorded and written album

[@ajgrove95]

2:25 2:40 I gotta say, I am impressed by your ability to create pure platinum out of thin air.

[@JonLombana]

Dude, you have such authority in what you do; not only behind the drum set (which is so clearly visible) but also 'behind the scenes' - it comes across the production of your videos, what comes out of your mouth and what your fingers type... I don't know if that makes sense but seriously bro, you're an inspiration.

[@xRamZx]

THIS is how you do a drum cover! Color inside the lines, but venture outside them tastefully and when it adds a unique element to the original music. Take notes, people! Cobus is the king of drum covers!

[@revell55]

I'm still here man, it's been 8 years and IT STILL makes my day when you upload a cover. I've missed you Cobus, my man. You are the very essence of energy that made me pick up my drumsticks and enjoy it to this very day. Thank you. Will always support you as on of ur most loyal fans! Also submitted my song from Black Bourbon Sunday to your Re-cover project.. I will pray each day to see you play MY SONG.. when one of the reasons I play like I play is you.. Cheers man, love you and thank you for giving me this passion, this meaning of life that is drums.

[@benmccreery7450]

1:29 How do you come up with these fills?!!?!?

[@benmccreery7450]

+Ben McCreery Love the creativity you bring every cover

[@domlewis6250]

That little trick of pressing down the tom to change it's pitch has been used before in some drum solos but I've never seen it in an actual drum full like this! And he plays it so flawlessly too! Major respect for Cobus!

[@domlewis6250]

+Dom “Dommy459” Gilburt *fill

[@evansaincome5161]

That fill was sick, watched it like 5 times

[@mahensiriwardana1334]

I know ryt????he is amazing..one of the greatest legends of my drum life.

[@JotunStudio]

2:26 Where did it come from??? Wow, I really liked the cover, but that was awesome. Congrats, Cobus!

[@oskartreborg3372]

+Jotun Studio That's so fucking awesome!

[@JotunStudio]

+Oskar Treborg I didn´t expect that at all and liked a lot the double kick plus choking the crashes. Amazing!

[@oskartreborg3372]

+Jotun Studio Yeah, he's so creative when in it comes to fills!

[@TheBendixSA]

2:40 That high noon though, simply amazing.

[@phanithjd]

That second is freaking awesome!!!!!!!

[@guitargodpetrucci]

im a guitar player, been playing for about 10 years. but cobus is the only person that has ever EVER made me want to get behind a drum kit.

[@jfarras]

I'm in love with their snare sound!

[@JeffDonnelly]

its awesome to see how fluid you are. probably one of the most relaxed/kill playing I've seen in a while. 👌

[@Ynek237]

Wow... I gotta say this cover gave me goosebumps... absolutely amazing

[@angelvelazquez3325]

I've watched this about 50 times and I'm still in awe........

[@AmrddH]

DAYUMM, killing it man. those cymbal chokes at 2:25 are too smooth for me to handle

[@MrStrongBro]

Fan freaking tastic as always Cobus. :D Tutorial for 1:59 please!

[@TheMrGerrie]

LLKKLK RRKKRK LLKKLK RRLL(RL together). Something like this. 32nd notes. Timing is a little hard to explain, but I think it stards at the '4 and'. Please correct me if I'm wrong. ;)

[@MrStrongBro]

Ty ty! :D

[@Adiaf8oros]

+TheMrGerrie It was perfectly explained, but you made a typo, at the last "RRLL". Let me correct: LLKK L K RRKK R K LLKK L K RRKK(R+L)

[@TheMrGerrie]

+Adiaf8oros you're absolutely right, thanks :)

[@marwan88jo]

And 2:25 :')

[@iplaySchecter54]

Watching Cobus is never boring he's so into the music, I can relate. Perfection man so tight well done to my favorite drummer

[@maxadrums]

Oh, what's this treat!? Now you're really at it.

[@rendrumstv]

5 years later and I’m still coming back to this video for these 4 time stamps 1:30 2:00 2:26 2:41 🙌🏻

[@corytuzzo]

You ain’t kidding! So smooth

[@bigfan3788]

6 years

[@demonteagan8295]

Add 2:50 to that list 👌

[@QuirkyFactos]

Sweet lord 👌

[@Icemankg]

No kidding, these are all amazing but the four cymbal choke section is just god tier. I have shown this to so many people and they just don't understand how impressive it really is to pull that move off so cleanly.

[@matthew1306]

Such an awesome drum play through. Amazing fills, and great song. You’ve been an inspiration to myself as a drummer over the years Cobus. Thank you ! 🙏🏼😁

[@mhalldc]

I been watching your covers from since the beginning , I bet ya I’ve watched them 10,000times . That said I am blown away with this one man. Thanks

[@Mattb6288]

I love that you're making videos again. can't wait to see what comes out of the re-cover project.

[@polarnightaudio]

[@kwdrummer2211]

Cobus dude....blowing me away. You're an inspiration for me, thank you!

[@gedmin383]

watching you drum is so hypnotic. love seeing you post covers

[@manishkarjol]

I love the end parts of your videos, how natural and wonderful they're. Fantastic drum cover!

[@MichaelClaudio13]

Brother i just want to say been watching your videos since the beginning, its amazing! how much your abilities have grown you've been just killing it, and i just love your videos brother best of luck!

[@CDIngallsMusic]

Oh my word!! Cobus, you are killin it on your covers just like always!! Please don't ever stop creating incredible content! You are an inspiration to me to keep creating drum cover videos on KZbin!! You are a flippin BOSS!

[@heelflip1993]

Cobus, I'm absolutely in love with this new Re-Cover project you're doing! Watching your video on your site melted my heart! My band is in the process of writing material right now, and I think your project is the thing our band needs! Much love from Minnesota, USA!

[@angelvelazquez3325]

I cannot wait until I get my drum set to start playing like Cobus in this video....too much fun covering this song in particular, Breaking Benjamin needs this guy to play them with this melodic touch.Bravo!

[@Niloy63]

Amazing build-up fill going into the bridge at 1:59, Cobus. Very creative and very catchy. Keep up the awesome work!

[@717musicfreak]

Dear Cobus, Can you please stop making me wait a week for your next cover. When it comes to your covers I am very impatient and I would appreciate if you just launched them all at me so I could feel like a kid in Christmas again and stay in my house all day watching your videos. Sincerely, just a bro who loves your covers

[@dwightfontenot9064]

Holy crap! 1:31 is killer!

[@joecool136]

+Dwight Fontenot he does it in the 'club can't handle me' cover with tyler ward

[@WhittlingWizard]

Loving the meaning behind the re-cover project! I look forward to hearing them!

[@MoisenLP]

this is what I call freaking precision and intuitive playing. love that kickass fills man. great job by editing the sound, too.

[@Rachel-bo2cw]

You are amazing Cobus!!!!! The launch of your new project, the flawless cover of breaking the silence by my favorite band and your overall goofy smile/attitude made my day. Year infact!! I can't wait to hear more from you. 😃👍

[@kbeking2610]

Honestly this to me is as inspiring and motivating as anything I have encountered. Phenominal.

[@stevelycinadale]

Nice cover you made. +1 sub

[@itsDarrell]

You have so much groove. I love it. I missed your covers!

[@Decroys]

dude, do Failure! i dont speak just for myself when i say this, but i and your fans would really enjoy listen to a cover of that song!

[@JacobBaptistaDrums]

Welcome back Cobus! I hope one day my drum covers have the production quality of yours! Killin' it!

[@JianJos]

Awesome work dude! I LOVE Breaking Benjamin.

[@destructorofjay]

[@Terinigan]

You've grown so much during the past years. Much more mature playing, fantastic finesse and awesome details!

[@DavidSalcer]

Cobus took quite ok song and made it completely outstanding !!!!!!!! I seriously thought that this wont be such epic cover!

[@x--WarHawk--x]

After all this time and I finally stumbled across an amazing cover of such a great song. Your fills are crazy good and on point...I may not have the coordination to play the drums but I certainly have an ear for it...and for you sir, job well done !!!

[@walterjessicabuck7019]

Brother the emotion you have is awesome bro....i love it man.

[@huntson1]

Really enjoy your vids. As a fellow drummer I check your stuff out from time to time for some fresh ideas. Thanks!

[@jackkelly9991]

Hey cobus I just wanted to say how much of a great drummer you are! You are truly blessed!😄 Keep up the great work man!!😄😀

[@hulkaman64]

I'm so glad you covered one of the songs from their new album. This song definitely has a lot of great double bass transitions that give it a great aggressive tone. Very sharp. Just when you think you can't surpass perfection, you always keep me watching man! Keep 'em coming man! Especially if you cover another one from this album (cough cough, Defeated, cough cough) (P.S. nice touch with the rack tom sound manipulation when you hit the tom while your other stick was resting on the skins. Cool sound overall)

[@Lute_Waffle]

You are an amazing musician, would love to see you 'sessioning' with all the great artists

[@ummtone]

Great cover, and hearing about the new project is very exciting! I can't wait to hear all the music I've been missing out on. Also, sent in my own application!

[@Peppizzz]

No words for you man. Simply amazing, as ever.

[@djentrification1631]

2:26 is the reason I return to this cover time and time again.

[@brenttopa2172]

[@andrelabat6684]

[@ryanhosier8785]

i LOVE the fill at 2:25. Well done Cobus!

[@NickWishesHeWasCool]

It's crazy to see your progression over the years

[@mikkorantanen2544]

[@prince_adobo]

Always impressive. Jaw dropping covers

[@frollard]

Love it as always. My only qualm is I can't see the kick hammers doing the magic often enough.

[@DanielJerrehian]

How did you get your GoPro's to look so good? The video quality is incredible for using GoPro cameras!

[@jeremy144713]

I don't like breaking Ben but I had to check it out cause cobus' awesome work done here! You should do some AVA or bkink covers agains I LOVE those covers! Thanks for always inspiring

Favorite song off the new album. Well done.

[@kitvillamiel]

[@EzequielVelez]

awesome re-cover bro. it would be so awesome to see you re-cover Face Down by Red jumpsuit apparatus. keep up the great work

[@RudalPL]

Hi Cobus. have you ever considered covering anything played by Gene Hoglan, especially from times when he was playing with Death? I would love to see you playing one of those songs. :)

[@vladnikolai3830]

Hey cobus I knew the exsitance of your channel just a month ago. i wanted to play drums for quite i while and ive recently just started, ive been cheking out a lot of covers from many other channels and i gotta say your the one with more style and musical taste than any other. I really want to learn your cobus method but it is out of sale in the drumeo website where can i find more? i want the physical Dvd. thank you in advance.

[@Telepuzique]

STRONGER THAN EVER. just wow.

[@theBroG]

JUST INCREDIBLE

[@I-Wallace32]

This is the first video I've ever viewed from your channel. Absolutely loved it! You just picked up a new subscriber my friend (: outstanding job! Cheers!

[@ringosteve21]

Man, Cobus, that snare sounds excellent!

[@sweetassdrummer1]

Amazing drum cover dude! I love the energy have, Like always keep rocking out

[@mar.c1]

snare sound is PERFECT

[@ryanblumenow]

Was wondering on the perspective on the flat and low cymbals - do you find this more comfortable? Easier to move around the kit? It's a different aesthetic from the elevated cymbals more commonly seen.
