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!

[@kittyz1313]

4/13/21 this is badass my dude!

[@philipdrader]

I had forgotten about the sweatbands. Love it!

[@shawnandlyubovforever484]

Thumbs up watching this in '22 on 5\5. 👍

[@Cradda1]

2024 right hurr 😎😎😎

[@drewmulford3560]

Can you upload all your videos like this twice but the second one with only the overhead version so we can see the strikes without changing the camera.

[@mcubananthony088]

10 years later and this still holds up. Proud of you man!

[@ProjectGnoll]

I wish more drummers in bands would play like Cobus, he adds in things that he wants to add in rather than sticking to the exact song or the notes that show up, it makes each and every song way more exciting and seriously just makes the audience awe-struck at how amazing the art of drumming truly is.

[@moorisjensen]

Thumbs up if this hits you in 2024 👌🏻

[@LongLiveTheBeat]

This is literally the only drum cover that I favor for this song 🔥

[@KamoMustafaWWEII]

FALL

[@Paramagic29]

Not many drummers possess such a natural understanding of what grooves and whats tasty...and to look that comfortable behind a kit? It is going to be heart breaking to hear how good he will be in ten years.

[@kanavgrover7216]

Ten years have gone so fast

[@Fire0fear66]

10 years have passed, and this guy is amazing.

[@KyleLe]

Wow time flies. He’s still one of my favorites.

[@richardscheibenreif5178]

god I freaking love how good those toms sound its like an intense eargasm

[@evergrea9081]

IKR it's an eargasm

[@PeterTheAlien]

+Richard Scheibenreif my ones sound the same

[@jakemiller7078]

I like how he plays it his own little style.

[@JaxSandman]

I know you have your band BUT Breaking Benjamin is currently looking for a drummer. you should send them an audition tape.

[@JaxSandman]

Has the whole band been chosen?? if so where can I see this?

[@hugorezende199]

I still canto underdtand why theu choose Faust. Okay he makes breaking Benjamim viver, bit man, Cobus hás a really good technique and lots of diferentes aproachs on songs. Both até KZbin drummers, dia dont show really How tuff theu até on tour but.. Cobus os clearly more techno alguma and pro, playing lots of diferentes Artists.

[@TimDrumz-tp8re]

There was once a little kid named Timmy who was a hobby drummer. Then, one day, little timmy heard this song. Little Timmy's life was never the same. I haven't looked back since. This song flipped the switch and unlocked a world of possibilities in my head, and it inspired me to chase my dreams. I'm forever grateful for Breaking Benjamin! Excellent job dude! This is the best cover I've been able to find.

[@MorningStarNick]

you're truely a drumming god Cobus. you've owned respect of millions of us.

[@Gittyberg]

11 years on and still my favourite cover, keep doing your thing bro 🤘

[@WhiskeyOnFire]

This kid sure has come a long way from playing covers in a church in south africa. Big fan man!

[@Thirdsickness]

Love Watchin This Dude Play, And This Whole Cover Was Wonderful But My Favorite Part About The Whole Thing Was The Way He Started. That Pick Up Into 1 Was Genius!

[@adambrouk7952]

Dude that is sooooooo tight it's gross! Soo Awesome. Love watching you play. I think your a fellow StL boy as well? Good stuff .. REALLY GOOD STUFF!

[@thatsombiesguy]

The fact you not only played this notoriously hard song flawlessly but you also added more fills to it blew my mind. Absolutely Insane

[@MrSpyderProductions]

your drum set sounds amazing bro!!

[@SpellMorF]

1:34 EPIC

[@IkechiUkazu]

Absolutely beasting the cymbals

[@philiplauzon1743]

I had to watch three times just to make sure I saw it right!!! Crazy cymbal hits

[@Gematrier96]

Damn ! BB on drum is f*cking technical ! O.o

[@BryceWestonDrums]

That's Chad szeliga for yah

[@prizmprizn]

BB...lol whenever i call someone BB it means bitch boy.

[@camilaescobar2133]

I watched this for the first time when I was thirteen years old and had absolutely no knowledge of metal. I'm again watching it at 20 and I still get the same chills I got when I was a kid. Thank you Cobus.

[@cjlawlor95]

Cobus I've been a die hard fan of BB for about 6 years. Know every song by hear. I saw them in concer early this month. This is by far the best cover I've heard!

[@tdstudd1996]

That kit sounds so bitchin' and your super tight.. props

[@djentrification1631]

Those toms are too perfect.

[@NewbiestNoob]

I always thought Cobus looked like a slightly bulkier version of Andrew Garfield.

[@Burton32000]

OMG DUDE!!! HE DOES LOLOLOLO

[@cozzyinternet4706]

the South African amazing spider-man

[@venczchannel]

and Grant Gustin

[@zp7741]

NewbiestNoob honestly

[@mr.z0mb139]

Not wrong! Never noticed that before!

[@bigdrummerboi13]

my favorite covers are the ones when he uses this set. i know he does a lot of editing with all of his covers but i just really like these ones. great job cobus!

[@michaelhall1405]

This is the first cover ive ever watched from cobus and I think it's his best one, the song really showcases what he can do on the drums

[@HAALAND775]

you are awesome dude

[@stalker9130]

Невероятно талантливый парень!

[@SKILLETPUBG]

Интересно ты ещё живой

[@goshareyourown]

God bless u Cobus!!

[@martianshoes]

Ultra-props to the BB drummer who constructed the original drum part to this song. Major props to Cobus for his fluency...to play that part that tight.

[@emansonny]

God I LOVE the drums in this song. Just when I thought they couldn't get any better, you cover them! Great job. This is BEAST

[@childrenofthecorn918]

that drums should report you to the police for domestic violence.....f@#ng awesome!!

[@SethyTan]

480p we meet again in 2019.

[@carltafoya1367]

Nice triplets on the foot.....

[@antonkishkin]

I remember time when you posted it. I've just shown it to my friend who played drums. It was very inspiring how easily and with fun you played it.

[@NEWAGenTChannel]

Dude bro this song won't go away. Honestly the drums on this are awesome.

[@jose80775]

gg wp!

[@deusvult1633]

This cover is a little too busy for my tastes. The original was such a good blend of simple beats with tasty accents thrown in. A little too much going on here

[@eliasfigueroa3324]

yeah thats Cobus's style of covers...he adds a little more. Its not so much a cover as it is a different way of playing it. Im sure he adds it just to make it more fun than it already is

[@maltenrbk2332]

153 people bowed

[@Nibzza]

Cobus inspires people young and old to begin drumming, the world of drumming just keeps getting bigger and better.

[@ktmrooster0]

Unfreakin believable ,you are one of the slickest I have ever seen. I've been playing for 30+ years and I'm very impressed. I love it!!!

[@fallingspears77]

I have watched pretty much all of your videos, and I'd have to say that this is my favorite series. You hit the emotion of each song, and added just the right amount of flare flawlessly, and it is absolutely amazing.

[@arichylton1263]

I have watched this 100 times, it gets better each time. Simply amazing!!! And Kudos to BB for having such a great song for you to cover :).

[@frostwolfjdhfrostii]

i just love the sound of the drums in this. by far my favourite cover by cobus

[@jacobfountain5986]

Wow this is f**king incredible dude! I love your own style and take on this! Awesome playing!!

[@ClamingTheRight]

It's truly awesome to see how somebody can go from nothing to something! Cobus, you're an inspiration to me and my drumming! You have given me hope that someday I'll be just as good as you!

[@ROFLPS3suckz]

Officially the BEST Drum Cover for this song I have seen so far!!

[@beatmanbritton]

deadset... cobus you are the reason i learnt to play drums.. i like you play by ear and over the last year have grown so much. id like to thank you for helping me achieve what i have in this short year

[@winkzmusic1]

This is one of my favorite drum covers ever!!

[@DrawnUnderBand]

is this a big joke or something, 127 dislikes, this is one of the best drum covers on youtube, honestly ive seen millions of covers on all different styles, this is the cleanest; most appropriate drum track for this song and did i forget fucking awesome? The people who disliked this really need some taste or a doctor. btw Cobus if you do ever read this i think your one of the best drummers out there and you've inspired me greatly

[@HLRacing]

111 rude people ! even if you don't care the music, or even like drums, there is no way you can say 'dislike' to this guys talent. He hears, feels and plays every note, and he can play to anything! Thanx Cobus, & keep postin`

[@wiserthanu92]

You're talent absolutely amazes me. I've always personally overlooked drums a little whenever i listen to songs but after hearing you, that's all I hear. You're dedication is amazing and I can't even fathom the amount of time it must have taken to master such an art. From a fellow musician, keep on rocking

[@NEWAGenTChannel]

Chad Szeliga the most under rated drummer in the world. You did well.

[@Mayhemzz]

Wow, having this right after Face Down in a playlist is incredible, seeing how far he's come from the beginning, so inspirational..

[@s.rmusician5216]

Dude this was 10 years ago!? I can only imagine your drumming now. Phenomenal! That thing you done at 2:25 was crazy cool! I’ve never seen that in my 20 years of playing drums

[@zetok45]

More often than not, I feel that you are better than the original drummers. Seriously, that rocks.

[@arianthegreatrapist]

dude i love your type of playing . you have so much energy . i've seen a lot of drummers that when they play they're like this o_o . no soul , no emotion . n the other thing that i love about your vids is that you're just sitting there having fun playin your fav songs n i can tell that from you facial expressions :D n nice covers dude . never stop rocking \m/

[@Shane_Raw]

Damn... the best and my favorite drum cover to this song on KZbin. Incredible job!

[@kourosh1cyrus]

EPicness of this cover is beyond the comparison ...BB is gonna be honored by what u did .that's for sure

[@jakeklossing4352]

i really like his style and the way he set up his kit, and those toms sound sooo good

[@ufowam]

beautiful drumming! nothing was superfluous. Every hit was well dosed, always on time. Great job

[@forbaca]

Watching any Cobus video is bittersweet. You cant help but look at all of them because hes amazing yet you wish you could stop because as a drummer, he makes all hope and self esteem crash and burn :P keep rockin man!

[@oj2314]

*bops head* tune my boy...Great cover *continues bopping head*

[@ssbbmeteorglitchwii]

i think a drumer never end his learning and you havent finish yet. you can be EVEN better. never stop practicing. i think the thing that makes you unique its your great style and feeling.it whould be pleasure meeting you. from a drumer to a drumer

[@tannerbrowningfilms]

Love this thick KIT! Great cover

[@fa77ter]

your fills are just sick man i mean i thought mine were quick and sweet but yours are just perfect with all the variation in them it just makes me love your style more

[@mgtimp]

Always love watching Cobus play! And Breaking Benjamin, what could be better!!! :D

[@MadinX182]

Now is Cobus my favorite drummer... He covers that song much better than the original drummers do! And he covers my favorite Bands: Breaking Benjamin Blink 182 Angels and Airvaves System of a Down Paramore... And i learn very much from this amazing drummer! Thanks dude! (sry for any misstakes in my text I'm from Austria)

[@daltonburch6474]

BADASS!!! I bet you he could fill in for any drummer in any band Cobus is sick!!!!

[@jpsncds]

Very good man. Coming from a drummer I must say that you covered this song very smoothly. It's like you just let the song play with you, you didn't play with the song. Keep it up man.

[@claark]

By far, ma favorite of your covers!

[@butters22x]

This is the most solid cover man, great work! :D

[@snowprestes]

Eu acompanhei praticamente toda tua evolução,you are amazing!!

[@delvato70]

new to your vids..been a drummer over 20yrs. gotta say you tore this song a new ass..keep knockin shit bro!

[@trace517000]

I always sort of wanted to learn to play drums, but seeing Cobus play is what motivated me to finally go out and get a kit and take some lessons :)

[@bmberkheimer]

Love the back swing on the crash/ride at the start! Thats my signature and you made it better!

[@artetica66]

I can't stop watching your videos.....tomorrow I'll go to my psychiatrist and ask him to cure me..........but I think he won't be able to do anything for me.......you're too awesome for me to stop watching them. Keep up the awesome work you're doing and don't mind about the 110 people who are probably DEAF. A big "CIAO" to you my friend from Rome ITALY.

[@bob1978amon]

bad ass dude, i wish i could afford a drum set, i feel it every time i see someone playing

[@ryguymoocow123]

One of my fav songs, from my fav band and you rocked it bro! Nice cover!!!

[@Trippinovermylaces]

this wrecks my speakers, the mix is insane,, thanks!!

[@JFKDS127]

The way this sick-ass drummer put that building fill right before the breakdown just gave me goose bumps. You should definitely cover some tool man, tear that shit up!!!!!

[@nolanruiz7819]

You don't know how much you helped me just now

[@batoolroxx]

Cobus + Breaking Benjamin = Awesomeness Overload

[@Saaintan]

This has more views than the music video. Great cover, Cobus!

[@HDmanzano1995]

I was just looking at some other really great drummers like jspencerdrummer, but this reminded me why cobus is my favorite!

[@FakeMessiah94]

[@LisaMurphy]

This drum cover takes a great song and makes it even more striking.
