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!
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.
This is the drummer of Breaking Benjamin and I am very proud of Cobus covering a song , in peoples opinion they think it doesn't sound the way I PLAY IT BUT I GIVE HIM RESPECT BY PUTTING HIS OWN FEEL TO MY MUSIC....KEEP JAMMIN COBUS GOD BLESS CHAD SZELIGA BB' p.s. i love the way you played BEAT IT!!!
7 years later, I'm still coming back here and watching this video because this song is kick ass, you do an amazing job, and you are actually having fun. I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep jamming \,,/
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!
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!!!
I like the videos in this series because the camera in front of him to his right shakes a bit with each bass kick...technically you would think that's bad but when I watch it, it makes me think of watching a band live in a small setting and you can feel each bass kick in your chest.
YOU ARE THE BEST COVER I'VE EVER SEEN OF THIS SONG, I love the overhead shots it really puts you in the sight of what's really happening!!! GREAT JOB THANKS
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!
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
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.
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 RUclips account to mine. We all aspire to be a great drummer just like you. Thanks! Greetings from Brunei Darussalam
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.
when i get paid next month this guys dvd is getting bought....drumming is an art and this guy is one of my favourite artists....awesome job cobus dude keep rocking \m/
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.
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...
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!!!
There are tons of great drum covers all over RUclips, 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
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.
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!
AWSOME!! my favorite song by Breaking Benjamin! man I've been playing drums since -life:) ,and I play by ear. can't read music so thank you for showing me the right way to jam this tune!! GREAT JOB BRO!!!
there is only one thing i can pick about that cover YOUR TO PERFECT make a mistake mate by far the most skillfull drummer i have seen in years great work!
hey Cobus. I know you get a shit ton of comments on your vids, but you ARE 1 of the best drummers EVER!!! Just want you to know I think you may be thee best drummer in the world someday if you're not already. sincerely your fan from 1 musician to another, Michelle Renee Trout
not making a competition thing out of it, but after watching cobus, other drummers on here look like theyre moving in slow motion....lmao, awesome job man
im now drumming for a half year now, my drum teacher says im as good as some1 who plays for 2 years!!! i hope i can play this later! good cover keep it up!
honestly you are my idol.. every time i look for a drum cover of i song i look to see if u did one for it!!!! man i taught myself the drums and i'm pretty good for not taking lessons then i watch you and am like fuuuuuuuuuccckk lol :P u been taking lessons?? how long if so ?? :)

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.
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.

Friggin great video man. Spot on.
And I'm tired just watching, so much force.
Dude. I'm a drummer in a local San Francisco cover band, 80's, 90's and you nailed this. Wish my ban would play this but you know how the clubs are.
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!!!
Thank you so much for not butchering this cover. Absolutely radical.
Damn Cobus! Love your touch of fills! I am now burning my drum set.
This is an incredible cover and almost as awsomely great and creative as the drums by Chad Szeliga himself.
You're an inspiration bro!!
I love the intensity in this video! I almost get exausted watch this..!!
