Cobus - Paramore - Born For This (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!

7 years later and this is still the best cover of this song by far.

[@seventysevenstoriesz]

8 years later.. still is.

[@lshadowSFX]

@@seventysevenstoriesz 10 years later... still is.

[@Chris.Khanabiz]

still the best even in a new decade

[@zerodmgegms9764]

11 years later

[@eduardoprudencio5427]

12 years

[@solatile2122]

I'd fallen off drums slowly since my band broke apart years ago, but watching this again has pumped me so hard to get back on my kit again

[@erlanhimawan3489]

Yeah me too

[@ayushsoloist7782]

13 years later and its still the best cover !!! 3:30 was Amazingg 🤘

[@pezboy715]

Two best things about his videos: 1) SO much passion in his drumming, and that's what it's all about!!! 2) EVERY song has at least one fill that just makes you say "WTF just happened?!?!?" Case in point: 3:30 KEEP ON ROCKING!!!

[@zimzimal8547]

13 years later and still the best drum cover of this song

[@TrevorPrinceMusic]

And it's not close

[@iamyourgreatgreatgreatgrea6291]

This one definitely deserves a re-cover! :D

[@nickhamel6357]

Out of all the videos he's made I still consider from 3:19 to 3:26 to be one of my favorite moments from Cobus.

[@MattFoote]

3:30. SERIOUSLY!!! This is an awesome cover. Excellent work. Do you ever do anything on the more Progressive side? I'd love to see some of those. Keep it up.

[@iscdrummer5003]

I would love a break down to that! One thing....... B-E-A utiful.

[@AwesomeBlueDrumGurl]

I swear this guy is MAGIC. Why? EVERY TIME i watch a drum cover by this guy, I get inspired, and I head straight for my drumset. I'm instantly better at any song I choose to play. This guy has got it ALL together! AMAZING.

[@rogerrabbit2902]

Son, I must admit that this a great top class drum cover.

[@devontey108]

real classic cobus. I listen to this cover a million times never gets old. So much energy with a classic parmore song can't go wrong.

[@KevinPhil1990]

I have to say, when I watch your videos, I am mezmerised. I just stare at the screen. It's weird, 'cause that has never happened before with any other drum cover i've seen. You are quite an amazing drummer, I have to say. I've been playing for like 6 years, and I'm not even half as good as you are. keep up the kickass work bro. And err... No Homo. LOL.

[@Tankot2000]

Man, I could already feel the power from this just drumming the original drum beat. Holy crap at the felling power put into this one with that caliber of skill heh. Awesome stuff; LOVE the continuing variety.

[@camrenthomas8891]

The king of the drums

[@vananon51]

I never tire of your videos Cobus. You're an absolutely amazing and talented drummer, and one of my all time favorites. Well done and congratulations for how far you come since this video.

[@samuelkung7736]

3.31 dayum son!

[@rowebil00]

Cobus, I bet in 2008 and 2006, you never thought about being where you are now. I bet you never thought you'd be exploring the world, drumming, and providing lessons and material for new drummers. It's crazy where small things, small changes in something small, can take VERY big steps in the future.

[@Filipdrummer7]

PLEASE PARAMORE TAKE COBUS AS YOUR DRUMMER :))))

[@scribbletruth6]

So far, the best 'Born for this' cover I've watched.

[@Maisa91]

He looks like Jeremy from The vampire Diaries...

[@DarkPureAngel]

ikr??????? O-O :OOOO

[@jpswissnut1849]

Omg he does, I just noticed that.

[@ardinisf]

Maisa A. i thought i was the only one

[@kenshinryu]

Awesome stuff, Cobus. You make me want to fulfill my dream of learning to play the drums. You'd make anyone excited about drumming! Please don't stop doing these covers. They are so entertaining, and it's fun to watch you rock out like crazy to these songs. Thanks for your hard work!

[@123mesayhi]

i really wish you would tour with paramore

[@melissasamson4035]

your the man cobus! been watching your covers forever and your the reason i started playing in the first place. that fill near the end still makes my jaw drop haha

[@camu123789]

2:05 :o

[@janjanybanez1994]

I can't imagine there's a person like you who can just play drums on your own version and finish the whole song perfectly.. like you're the one who made it.. I'm also a drummer on church.. keep it up man! Kudos!

[@hollyhalford2228]

Does anyone know what snare he is using? I gotta get me one of those. It sounds crisp as fuck

[@ArchAngelMusiq]

+Holly Halford pearl cherry bomb snare...

[@phillakai321]

+Arch Angel Music Udrum cherry bomb not pearl

[@ArchAngelMusiq]

+Lebron vvvortic yea... i meant to correct that but you know youtube mobile app sucks

[@samicta]

Seen bunch of your drum covers and this is the first time I liked the shed. Good job, yo. Keep it up!

[@darthbinks834]

[@Dizdoze]

Very dynamic and entertaining. Extraordinary performance and hope that you make many more just like this. Thanks for being able to share your amazing skill with everyone and hope you continue your passion for drumming!

[@JesterC88]

I've been subbed to you for a long time. You just keep getting better and better bro.

[@charliemedss]

i remember seeing this back in the day and thinking, "gosh it can't get better than this" and now seeing where Cobus is now... its absolutely incredible!

[@devontey108]

throwback. I watched this a so many times growing up . got me through middle school. Still has the best paramore covers from og times. The passion and smooth transactions still sound great man. Not to many fills to enough to add a flare

[@DyingOfBoredom]

having Cobus come up as the first suggestion when entering in "Born For This drum cover"= game over for everyone else who covered it

[@javeywavey]

great job man, it's pretty clear how much fun you had doing this cover

[@WenBorris]

This is one of my favourtie paramore drumming songs, and cobus is one of my favourite youtube drummers... How have I never seen this before ??!!!

[@Shutup6794]

Wooow, I think I just watched gods gift to drumming. A lot of showing off, I LOVE IT!!!!! I am speaking for my self when I say this, " You Are Thee Best Modern Day Drummer "

[@vincedelapena]

This is such an energized song yet you can still turn it up to 11. Damn, for a 10 year old video, you are so still fun to watch.

[@SweeneyTodd2095]

Dude that was EPIC! 2:06 was insane! Keep up the awesome work

[@KillaTequilla83]

I love musicians like, where you can see their enjoyment on their face while they play. You can tell drums is his passion, even without hearing it.
