[@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.

[@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.

[@moorisjensen]

Thumbs up if this hits you in 2024 👌🏻

[@LongLiveTheBeat]

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

[@KamoMustafaWWEII]

[@richardscheibenreif5178]

[@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.

[@MorningStarNick]

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

[@WhiskeyOnFire]

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

[@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.

[@frostwolfjdhfrostii]

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

[@Gittyberg]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@djentrification1631]

Those toms are too perfect.

[@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`

[@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!

[@MrSpyderProductions]

your drum set sounds amazing bro!!

[@goshareyourown]

God bless u Cobus!!

[@HAALAND775]

you are awesome dude

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@stalker9130]

Невероятно талантливый парень!

[@MIXANk1410]

Интересно ты ещё живой

[@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

[@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

[@SethyTan]

480p we meet again in 2019.

[@tdstudd1996]

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

[@childrenofthecorn918]

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

[@Nibzza]

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

[@Mayhemzz]

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

[@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

[@carltafoya1367]

Nice triplets on the foot.....

[@jose80775]

gg wp!

[@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

[@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.

[@maltenrbk2332]

153 people bowed

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@daltonburch6474]

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

[@HDmanzano1995]

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

[@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

[@winkzmusic1]

This is one of my favorite drum covers ever!!

[@shovelmasterx593]

@2011distortion so damn right, cobus is a drumming God!!! hes the best iv ever seen, theres no one better then him

[@TheFollowthrough]

Solid, and VERY EXCITING! I love his clean style.

[@NEWAGenTChannel]

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

[@jakeklossing4352]

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

[@LisaMurphy]

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

[@kourosh1cyrus]

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

[@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

[@ROFLPS3suckz]

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

[@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.

[@sadieball1886]

I friggin LOVE Chad too!!! He is the best!!! And you do a helluva great job and I wish I had your skills. ROCK!!!

[@zetok45]

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

[@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

[@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)

[@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

[@claark]

By far, ma favorite of your covers!

[@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 :)

[@SoshiroGames]

I keep watching this, in my opinion this is his best cover.

[@MorningStarNick]

Cobus you are my idol man.....!!!! Hats off to your genius...!!

[@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!

[@NEWAGenTChannel]

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

[@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 :).

[@DrumsRmyLife97]

WOW!! my all-time favorite cover by you.

[@antoniogarcia-prendesferna5500]

The under & over hits on the crash at 3:28 are a nice touch.

[@HornsAndHalos]

I agree

[@jeremyschroer6445]

Breaking Benjamin is my favorite band. Chad zeliga is one of the best drummers. And so are you to brother with your wife range. I love watching you 🤘💪💪💪

[@bmberkheimer]

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

[@thatlonewolfguy2878]

[@MultiDruster]

[@ufowam]

[@sk8theimpossible]

[@Ektambo]

I never get tired of this.

[@PrecedingPie]

Good God, your groove is unbelievable.

[@SuperCoolDomino]

this kit has so much tone and is wayy explosive!

[@nsalerno12]

Cobus awesome job. Chad Szeliga is So fricken under-rated

[@Dragonball-sk9qw]

Cobus the beast And to me i think he's the best drum cover drummer

[@batoolroxx]

Cobus + Breaking Benjamin = Awesomeness Overload

[@MrSuperbeast23]

greatest drum cover i've ever seen i've watched this like 5 times straight

[@tyrex1942]

Epic bass drum! Its shaking the freaking camera! Own that thing!!

[@hellokymie]

the best improvisation drummer i've ever seen!! :D

[@BobSteveLarry18]

@TheGh0stGamer Well said. I definitely understand what you're saying, and after thinking about it for a bit I guess I can agree with that as well.. A good drummer shouldn't always be about what makes him sound better as a drummer, but rather what makes the song sound best as a whole, and chad definitely did an amazing job at balancing both of those in the original. So I retract my statement that said cobus 'blew him (chad) away', but this is definitely still a badass cover.

[@Luisosmar1205]

Damn what an awesome kit!!!! who would want to have a kit like this one..

[@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!

[@nolanruiz7819]

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

[@MakeCookiesNotWar4]

I listen do this every day,it became a part of my daily routine,love you

[@alexxgarza2247]

I love those under-cymbal hits man... Top notch!!

[@SoundGuyDavo]

love the upswing hits to the cymbals
