Cobus - Breaking Benjamin - Breath (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!

[@BrandonTownsend]

I was just watching my cover of this song that I did a while back. I grew up listening to these guys. This song never gets old.

[@TheRealKaveman]

Shit... I'm a guitarist man, but FUCK if my panties weren't drenched at the end of this video. If I get to the point I want to pick up the drums as well, you bet I'm hitting up your lessons. This might be the best song BB has ever written, and you NAILED it.

6 years ago I left a comment on how I keep coming back to this video, had to find the login to this account just to say after almost 13 years I am still coming back and listening to this masterpiece. I've long since grown up since my orignial comment but yet every time I come back a little bit of me still feels like that kid that used to sit here and watch videos like these all night long. This song and this cover will always have a weird place in my heart that I can't quite explain.

[@madisonarwood8985]

Note for note. Drummer my entire life. Came from a long list in my family. This guy is by far one of the best I've ever seen

[@SouthernBuilt]

I've watched all of his videos.. For the 100th time and still his drumming amazes me.. He's not just playing a beat. He's playing his heart! Keep going bro! Full support!

[@sdf1597]

Almost 2025 and still watching🎉🎉 Cobus will always be my favorite cover drummer. You can tell his passion behind the music he covers. You can tell it hits him on a personal level and you can see his general love for the talent that Gods given him. Keep rocking!!!

[@theshagman9779]

This is my new personal most watched video. I watch three times at least every time. Just enjoying the talent and trying to memorize what he’s doing. And I can’t afford a drum set! Anyone in the same boat? ……. One day boys, one day.

[@CastroFlows]

broo that’s how you know we all be thinking the same things at some point. i swear at this very moment im feeling exactly that my brother. one day man.❤

[@beejaybaumgartner3358]

Man bro what a cover. Could watch you play all day. Keep it up. Nice snare tom by the way.

[@Scottrose3]

Your kit is perfectly tuned. I love the snap and pop it has on the snare especially. Your style and fills are killer. So drawn in. I haven’t played since 5th grade. You make me want to pick it up again

[@chazbanx]

I seen this when he forst posted, i still watch it today to jam out

[@jase276]

Cobus is like the only one i've seen on this site actually showing some passion and grit in these covers. Absolute legend

[@redeyedrubin]

Amazing! So fast, hits hard and there is a lot going on there.

[@OwenMotors]

Ive been coming back to this cover for like 7 years holy shit. This and all those artist that take me back to when i was a kid. good shit.

[@rmchaleii]

You have some serious talent dude

[@lando6420]

Seriously

[@TheRmoney95]

@Baggsiv you inspire him and me ! Breaking benjamin will be in our hearts no matter what !

[@zdfinical]

I saw these guys live a couple of months ago, When they played this song, I freaked out! They where touring with Shinedown and sevendust. It was an awesome concert!

[@GuinnessJunior]

I simply don't get tired of watching this video. Not only is it one of my favorite songs, but Cobus, you really play it well! Keep up the excellent work!!!

[@r9590]

Let's not forget he had Chad szeliga , that said great job on this cover 😉

[@Scottrose3]

2023 and I’m STILL HOOKED. I LOVE your fills and the passion behind every note. Yes ..just fucking YES.

[@Volentry]

chad is better, at this present time, look at his chops, they're really advanced and stuff. just look at his tutorials and you'll know. cobus is great too, but cobus isn't professional yet! so don't compare drummers that started out at different times.

[@lpfanhuh]

he is putting all his life and soul into this cover Awesome dude, u rock

[@soxnpats4lyfe]

i love the enthusiasm that really makes the drummer nice job!!!!

[@Nasser-ud8lw]

holy shit man after all these years im still shocked by how good this guy is

[@NoobTubre]

Dude, you are completely amazing. Your music choices are freaking fantastic as well. Please drum more, please become famous.. I'm a younger kid, and my generation doesn't listen to Breaking Benjamin, Incubus, Dave Matthews, ect. and you have the ability to inspire that into people. Please keep doing what you are doing. You have an amazing talent.

[@coreymccowin3502]

The way his drums are set up looks like they make playing so comfortable.....love the style.. keep playing...

[@kellenhodgson]

this is my favorite band right now and as a new drummer im like in awe of cobus and the original drumming in the song. im gonna learn to play it and hopefuly post my own cover...

[@kendrickfoo8]

Cobus, I have always admired your drumming style! Everything that you do in all your videos, your improvisation skills, your ability to jam along to differnt styles, EVERYTHING!!! You as an inspirational drummer for me, was one of the reason, I created this KZbin account to mine. We all aspire to be a great drummer just like you. Thanks! Greetings from Brunei Darussalam

[@sliposca8]

i cant breath.....i could never stop from watching him drum-----amazing dude

[@TheSamLenz]

I totally agree with your sidebar...Breaking Benjamin's "Phobia" is absolutely an incredible drumming album. Dude, you seriously have some awesome talent. Keep it up.

[@D1KY89]

I think the thing that makes you a million times better than all the over youtube drummers is that u can see that you are fucking going for it every time.

[@sbiegs3885]

Damn Cobus! Love your touch of fills! I am now burning my drum set.

Way rocking cool! Great job. I love my drumming and really not all that much of an easy song to do. Quite a bit of 'cymbal play'. I'm an avid drummer and I think I'll be working on trying to get this song down. Again, great job!

[@Zsleeperrx7]

I love breaking Benjamin and ur covers are amazing I've watched a few others as well and was impressed, keep it up!

[@2f8bg7gh34]

There are tons of great drum covers all over KZbin, but what I like about you dude is that you add your own flavor to a tune and make it your own. You take a drum part and you remix it with color and ear candy all over the place, and that's what I appreciate about your shit. I don't need to tell you you're sick - you and everyone here knows it - keep adding that ear candy. Check out my full band (instrumental) MCR covers if you get a sec man. Rock on. - Spikey Jay
