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!
Granted I haven't seen too many comments about it recently but I have before.. so just to clarify: This song is NOT easy on drums. Chad Szeliga is a very intricate drummer. More than you may realize. Granted, Cobus is playing his own rendition of the song, I'd like to point out that when Chad played the song, he used a single pedal. For everything. The verses and bridge are all single pedal. Also, he does combinations of the ride, ride bell and hi-hats in the bridge too. And, in the verses, his fills are much more technical then one would first assume. As a huge fan of Chad, and a fan of Cobus, I felt that I had to explain that. Also, on a side note... Breaking Benjamin is back!
Michael Gaffney I read something similar some time ago, that Chad indeed played this track with a single bass pedal. That alone is amazing! I agree that the song is more complex than it may sound. Great news that they're back, didn't know they stopped playing or anything. Can't wait for new material!
This is my first time seeing this first version. IDK, I think I may like the other one better. Definitely the mix is better. He does simple cymbal placement in the other one that is just sick.
If he ever starts smiling constantly and singing along to the song, then I will probably cry with excitement because ive never heard a drummer play with so much emotion and passion, and ive gone through a lot of drummers. The tricks he does, the fills, the intensity...its awesome. Then again, i saw the drum duet and the other guy made him sound like a kid. Hes amazing, but i see why hes still trying to get better and better :)
I must have heard this drum cover somewhere around 2009 or 2010 and I must say that I still haven't found one that beats this one. The best drum cover of Diary of Jane
I've seen a lot of your videos but for some reason this seems to still be my favorite. Possibly because I love this song.. Most likely because of your fluidity through this whole song, it just seems to flow so naturally through you to your drum set like it's an extension of you. LOVE IT!!!
The only reason why there is 182 dislikes is because there is 182 people out there that are really jealous that you are extremely good... keep up the really good covers dude
If you want to lose weight, do a drum cover of this song about 10 times a day for 1 month, you'll definitely see changes (I know it sounds stupid, but it really worked for me that is)
i have yet to watch any of your covers and not be so amazed on your work you are seriously talented and once again 10/10 rating please don't stop you're very gifted
Cobus is an amazing drummer. I've been watching him since the start of RUclips and has been following him very closely along my drumming journey these few years. The Diary Of Jane is also one of my favorites that I've always wanted to play as a beginner but found a lot of trouble doing it. Now, I've came up with a score for this song on my channel to share with the world! I'd like to let all beginners who aspire to be like Cobus, to press on in their practice, and keep the drumming dreams alive ! :D
ive been watching RUclips for 5 Years now, never had an account, never wrote a single message, but i think this kid deserves a little bit of my time to create an account an write my first message in 5 years. GREAT JOB!
So while i'm sitting in my computer room I decide to watch Cobs play drums on youtube. Next thing I know, I am in a whole another, amazingly awesome world. Someones magicalllllll
I love your improve on this cover man especialy at 2:35 you slammed a fill in there that works wonders awesome as always your covers are always helpful
awesome!! being addicted to my drum kit and absolutely loving Breaking Benjamin how can I not be amazed by the technical shit that makes this and all their songs great!! YOU ARE SO RIGHT Michael Chad made it look easy!? Not one song from these guys are easy! I'm just gonna go beat up my kit now:)) AWSOME Cobus!!
i was really looking forward to what china you would use for the breakdown and was a little disappointed seeing the effects pad. but otherwise this is the sickest cover to this song i have seen yet! awesome!!

Hoping you do a new version of diary of jane and breath !!
@@diegoign_ He already did :) check his newer vids!
Just wanted to see, how high your skill was 12 years back to have a little comparison :D. Still impressed.
It's 2022, Cobus, and I'm still watching. Get with the times.

Michael Gaffney your comment has wonderful. I thougth the same thing...

Double pedal or not cobus Is still a fucking animal!!!!!!
+Michael Gaffney its not hard man, cobus adds some shit to make it his
+kawasaki_ninja93 the slide bud
1:40 that fucking snare fill, simple but oh my!
ive literally replayed 1:40 about 40 times, not gonna lie. i still cant get enough of that sick snare omg
Hard to believe it’s been 13 years. He is one the reasons I started drumming.
13 years later and this is still one of my favorite covers, and the cover that got me into Breaking Benjamin. Laus De Semper
1:40 gets me every time! #theredaysgrace
YEAH lol. i was just thinking about how this reminds the song "I Hate Everything About You", scrolled down and saw that comment xD
Johnny Gosinski yeah lol. Exacly what i though of exactly when i heard it.. You Rock :)
+Le Epic thought the same thin
Lol stfu
Yep! Same here I’ve been watching this video forever and it always gets me that part so perfect
8 days away from 2019 and this is still one of the baddest drum covers on RUclips. Cobus, thank you.
remember watching this back around 2009. got so hyped at 1:41. I still get!!
You're not the only one.
Who else comes after the re-make
This one is so much better than the new one lol
Had to
This is better
This is my first time seeing this first version. IDK, I think I may like the other one better. Definitely the mix is better. He does simple cymbal placement in the other one that is just sick.
Who’s here after watching the 2019 cover of a cover?
Matthew Lyons me
Both versions are fire!
Me
2022 bro.!
Nope. This is the original version I saw 13 years ago when first posted. Cobus fan over 12 years.
the fill at 1:40 reminds me of Three Days Grace "I Hate Everything About You" fill before the chorus
1:40 puts the biggest smile on my face every damn time LOVE IT
1:40 he destroyed his drum set
If he ever starts smiling constantly and singing along to the song, then I will probably cry with excitement because ive never heard a drummer play with so much emotion and passion, and ive gone through a lot of drummers. The tricks he does, the fills, the intensity...its awesome. Then again, i saw the drum duet and the other guy made him sound like a kid. Hes amazing, but i see why hes still trying to get better and better :)
1:40 was like :
That I like that, I like that
I hate everything about you, why do I love you?
Why am I just finding his vids now? These are amazing.
I must have heard this drum cover somewhere around 2009 or 2010 and I must say that I still haven't found one that beats this one. The best drum cover of Diary of Jane
1:40
1:40 is my favorite part of the song and i was thinking "how the shit is he he gonna do that"?
... Touche
I've seen a lot of your videos but for some reason this seems to still be my favorite. Possibly because I love this song.. Most likely because of your fluidity through this whole song, it just seems to flow so naturally through you to your drum set like it's an extension of you. LOVE IT!!!
a moment of silence for the drums that were slapped
best song, best cover.
What an original and intense way to play drum. This is a real gift to Benjamin Burnley to play drum this way on his song.. be proud.. you rock!
2:52 that face
wtf XD
1:40 and 2:20 get me every time his symbol work is incredible rock on #ThreeDaysGraceWillNeverDie
The only reason why there is 182 dislikes is because there is 182 people out there that are really jealous that you are extremely good... keep up the really good covers dude
That was perfect,, even better than the original drumming in the song
still one of my favorite covers, I hate it when drummers put no effort into their drums.
found this video almost 10 years ago & its still one of my most favorite drum covers to listen to :’) love it
RECOVER!!
Try the song Nightmare or second heartbeat by Avenged Sevenfold
I'm coming back to this a decade after the first time I watched it and I'm still as satisfied as ever.
1:36-1:43 I just love doing it when I'm on a bad mood >:)
If you want to lose weight, do a drum cover of this song about 10 times a day for 1 month, you'll definitely see changes (I know it sounds stupid, but it really worked for me that is)
MrBlvdman Lol I can def believe that :D or play BYOB (system of a down). Accessible song if you can play metal songs, though very demanding :)
i have yet to watch any of your covers and not be so amazed on your work
you are seriously talented and once again 10/10 rating
please don't stop you're very gifted
DO Angels Fall by: BBl !!!!!!! Please!!!!!
+Patience Christine Close to Heaven , too

Cobus is an amazing drummer. I've been watching him since the start of RUclips and has been following him very closely along my drumming journey these few years.

Beautiful song... Beautiful cover! Much love from the Dominican Republic brother, I've been a loyal fan since the beginning! Peace!
