The avid ones who have been around for a while should by now know that my approach to drums is one of fun and passion, and not even CLOSELY one of doing it because it's "cool" or because it's "hardcore". I think I'm a wuss, truth be told.. haha. I play drums because it's FUN and because it's such an intense form of creative expression. I do songs I sincerely just LOVE, or songs I flat out enjoy jamming to, Tik Tok is one of the latter :) As I have said in previous videos, I am not even closely interested in Rock vs Pop politics, debating the difference between "good" and "bad" quality music is irrelevant to how much fun it might be to jam along to. LOVED jamming along to this song, when groove meets power, you have one very satisfied Cobus.
Just as a sidenote (for the audio engineers and mixer who might be wondering) NO replacement or triggering was done in this mix. Every single stroke you hear was just eq'd, mixed, and compressed; I didn't layer or trigger or replace anything.

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!

[@jholierycastro]

After watching the version of Cooper, I immediately check one of yours coz I know that you already have a version of this. Imagine, 11 years ago but still a lot cleaner than him. 😂 😂😂😂

I understand that it takes a ton of practice but drummers impress me more than any other musician. It's should be in the Olympics, what a workout!

[@bravepart]

There have been times where I wondered 'wait when was I breathing during that track?!'

[@pigupigu]

Try cycling for 100km on the morning, playing some Chinese level table tennis in the afternoon then having a jam on drumkit at night

[@Acecombatrules59]

this is why you are the best...

[@exceptionalish614]

Of all the drum covers I've watched of yours, this one seems to compliment the song best. Obviously that's not always the goal of a drum cover, but it matches the feel and emotion of the song the whole way through. Great stuff.

[@ynnnnnaD]

Im not here for the song, i am here for Cobus ;)

Holy shit! The world must see in a band. For real. You've got the best drum covers on KZbin.

[@bravepart]

Dat hi hat rhythm in the chorus especially is what keeps me coming back, sliiiiiick.

[@sarachaudhary451]

I can't stop watching this. It's mesmerizing to watch a solid drummer play - and more joyous still when the drummer is clearly enjoying himself. Fantastic!

[@terencechengde]

still one of my all-time favourites! this video was what made me realise i was (and still am) into drumming. thank you, cobus! maybe a 2024 version?

[@alexanderlinderson2655]

Oh man i remember watching all these old vids and tried to mimic :P You push us to do better Cobus, never stop doin' what you're doing!

[@frazzmac5150]

That was unreal. You need to do more pop song covers like this.

[@jeffhou7090]

You and this show is the initial reason I want to learn playing drum. And now I am starting my drum learning journey in NYC with a wonderful drum teacher and classmates. I never imagined this before in my life! Want to Thank you.

[@MadMarco]

I think this is now my favorite drum cover on all of KZbin. Your fills are awesome dude. And that already 13 years ago :D Good job dude

[@Midas526]

It's not about technical skill; he's got no shortage of that, but his drumming actually adds a ton to the song, really well done parts. That's why I'm a fan, at least; he's earned my sub!

[@ImOnAGoat91]

watching this 10 years ago thinking this had amazing video quality

[@welrod8425]

9 years already?God damn it, the time passed so fast...This video is why I think you are the BEST drummer.Great job all the time Cobus!

[@Rless45]

Just enjoy watching Cobus play! The sign of a great drummer is the smile on his face when he plays.

[@jrkubulex154]

Hahaha this is better than the original. Too good.

[@rockyvsrambo82]

Just love the way he improvises! Its simply amazing! This dude is seriously a machine

[@davidw.mcclain257]

After all that you've accomplished, I still come back to this video time and time again. I think this shows your skills like no other. Cheers, my friend.

[@josephnkoa1827]

Dude you're a genius. I've been watching this since at 2018/2019. This cover is fantastic beyond compare

[@jacksteel2013]

Don't stop playing drums, Cobus blow my speakers up.

[@jaj_images]

Normal person: Wow, he's really good. Drummer: OH MY GOD I NEED NEW PANTS

[@SkroutzimusPrime]

Took a very decent pop song and turned it into an addictive, groovy masterpiece! Well done!

[@Neondrake]

I can't believe people are trying to act like this guy isn't good. Im a percussion major and have been playing for a very long time, and can honestly say that His touch and fluidity are both remarkable. Not to mention his tasty grooves and awesome fills. Way to go, Cobus.

[@Fluxxxxx_]

Cobus is the best drummer I’ve ever seen like if you think so too! “Great job cobus!!!”

[@swaguilar_]

Dang I can't believe it's been 10 years when I first heard this drum cover! My brother loves your channel and he was the one who showed me this. I'm not a big fan of drums but he is and seeing this brings memories. I remember the intro was a new one from your previous videos and I really liked the intro! Awesome video never gets old 👌

[@mackenziesherry4894]

I watched this for the first time about 5 years ago.. today is a really bad day for me, and this video suddenly appeared on my suggestion list and I watch this again.. 😊 And I'm feeling so much better now.. what a blessed night..

[@joezak7258]

i’m 10 years late but this HITS

[@TheJoshery]

This kit is sick. Super fat and boomy. I've always been a DW fanboy, but whatever this is is sounding better to me than the DW's he's been playing lately....

[@Allahpaca]

But DW is overall a pretty good decision i think. Anyway i have to agree with you.

[@bravepart]

The composition on this track is phenomenal. You play it brilliantly but damn big props for putting it together!

[@mariobrothers8302]

the best version of this song indeed¡¡¡ keep up with the good work, this is te proof the music dosn't have limits when u have it in your heart and soul¡

[@FourthBase97]

Mate!!!! I'm the Drummer for My band and after watching you I am completely overwhelmed and inspired to push my skills and my bands skills to the limit. Your The best Drummer I have ever seen, even better than Nicko Mcbrain who inspired me to play the drums. Im gonna watch all of your video's man and I hope one day, I can see you on my telly or at a live gig! Your the best!

[@Tomas-qg3ig]

There is too much creativeness in one cover. Youve always had something special, that feeling which is above any youtube drummer. hope you come back soon

[@salukistyle]

Only Cobus can make a Kesha song sound tolerable

[@JoEveritt]

3:00 fucking rad kick fill...

[@jijst5]

Fucking shit, that's just training your legs... That kick fill is the least good of all his fills he uses here, even the beat is better than that fill!! This cover is fakking ingenious, but that kick fill... Not that special. Are you a drummer?

[@JoEveritt]

I wasn't even going to bother responding to someone who has nothing better to do than criticize a comment on KZbin.

[@jijst5]

Breejum Brascus You know, I was just pissed at that moment, I'm sorry ;). But I hate all those people who don't know anything about drumming talking like: "The drummer of Band X is so amazing! He plays double bass so fast!!!" I just thought: "Again one of them double bass loving fuckers!" ;)

[@JoEveritt]

No worries.

[@ibobpramadi4104]

One of the best cover by Cobus!!!

[@joseroyrallos3588]

Awesome , Keep on Drumming with the best songs , people in the world are keep on listening the beats.Its an excellent endeavor to give more life to music , more POWER

[@duncanmann2543]

[@kagome8517]

Once upon a time i download all your videos and play them over over over and over.

[@Zembassi3962]

That was powerful! Excellent!

[@MRFabulousDuck]

wow, cobus really makes anything sound good!

[@dombagundut]

i really enjoy the beat and all the fill that you do for this song!!

[@alext9558]

love those cymbal stops in the fills, that brings a lot!!!

[@samnaps1]

Love those cymbals! Especially the ride...

[@awabia]

When I first started getting into Cobus' covers, I listened to this one while playing super Mario sunshine. Now whenever I hear Ke$ha, specifically this song, I want to play SMS and vise versa lol

[@jletsfsu]

I greatly admire the flow of every song you play. 100% on beat, 100% of the time. Great job

[@RocknRolioface]

Cobus, man. That shit was SWEET! Your fills are so awesome
