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!
man... you are better than half of the professional drummers i've seen! oh... and i learned to play drums by watching you... thanks man. keep rockin dude! :)
3:25 BEST PART! If I could play like that I would have that reaction aswell :P kidding! I have to agree with my buddy 01Ralph 1:32 to 1:50 is amazing! Go Cobus!!! Forgive me Michaels fans but this cover kicks ass!!! F****n A!!!! xD
I like the fun that is coming out from your videos. And this little moves that make them even more enjoyable, for example hitting your ride cymbal from the under.
Cobus, not only do I get chills down my spine from your skills on the drums, but in every single cover you just have a smile, and the energy that gives me a great vibe! You just have fun man keep it up!
This is one of my favourite videos of yours. I love the song, and I think you have done an amazing job capturing the energy of the song, giving the song what it needs, and having fun with it as well. Great job, I love watching your videos. They inspire me so much, and your playing has inspired me a lot over the last few years!
oh man his snare is tuned so perfectly, couple that with the equally perfectly timed rimshots over the snare sound from MJs track. what a pleasant THWACK sound!
DUDE 236-240 is amazing. Bloody brillant once again. Just so you know...this video series is being passed along the MJ communities...Be proud of yourself. Major
He was so young yet talented. You're a prodigy Cobus. Every video of yours reminds me how talent comes from sincerity and humility. I started playing the drums watching your videos despite learning two other instruments already. No regrets. It's cross contributed into spicing up my playing with other instruments.
Your great buddy, the biggest compliment i can say to you is. There are so many amazing drummers, your amazing AND you look like you love the music and you have a passion. Thats one in a million and it only adds to the feel kudos, im a drummer and im from the john bonham school of let your life out on your drums and its cool to see you have fun with it man
your videos are real art! I like watching you playing, awesome!!! You're a real beast on drums! And what's also important is that you really enjoy what you're doing! I've seen drummers that play well but they don't have your energy and your passion! You're fantastic!
i do love all your covers cobus they are pretty amazing, all the energy you out into them and you obviosuly enjoy every second of it which is very rare to see in covers, and thats why i enjoy them so much =D, awesome playing and those hi-hat rythms are tottaly amazing, much respect
Absolutley fantastic drum cover! When people start saying something about MJ drum covers I though i was quite a bad idea since many of his drum beats are extremely simple, not because thats bad (Simplicity is not stupidity), but you actually got your own touch and character in the song! Amazing! And what a sickass snaredrum sound, i've never heard anything like it?
This is the most amazing drum cover i have ever watched. I love this song and you are absolutely amazing i have been watching this video sense 2009 and i have watched it just about every day because i am a drummer as well. Thank you for this video it always puts a smile on my face :-)
You're drum skills are amazing and you keep amazing me. You have such great talent and I am glad that I've subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work and I love your tribute to MJ
i've already lauded your cover, but i must add my favorite part is that sweet little fill at 2:10! so smooth and sweet!! i'm try to use it in my drumming :) keep it up duder!!!
simply amazing, Mate. I feel your groove, I see how good technique you have. That's a really professional effort. Cheers from Poland RIP Michael Jackson!
