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!
My man 🤙🏼 had an angles and airwaves itch. Totally remember you doing this way back when and had to watch again. 2 legends in this video. Keep up the good work. Paper thin cover? 👀
About once a year I come back to this video and watch it again and every time it's just as good as I remember it being. Easily one of the coolest videos on RUclips!
man ive on my thirties, a latino, father of a lil queen, strugglin here in Europe. And since today is my day off Im shouting mute this song loud on my earphones, Angel and Airwaves is like medicines sometimes. Along with Deftones.
I love Cobus is almost hitting his shoulder blades with the energy he is imparting into those drum sticks. They must be Titanium painted to look like wood.
11 years later and at nearly 33 years old, this gives me goosebumps like the very first time.... I regret not continuing my drumming journey... life sometimes just kicks in...
I love Atom. And he's on his own journey through the rock universe it seems. And I bet you've checked him out playing with Against Me!, He continues to really enrich any band he's playing in. They should all be very lucky to have him. Great drummer, great guy.
Everytime I watch this video it brings tears to my eyes man. To be able to jam like this with atom on one of the greatest records ever made dude. That song is special an one day I hope I get the chance to do this. Your a legend cobus. Still watching you after all these years dude hope your well!
the whole time you just can't help but smile to watch someone achieve such an honor, drumming with a drummer who has made it through music and to see the energy and fun the two are having. this is fantastic
Definitely, I don't think most people mention it enough but Atom was the better drummer for the band, I know who we have now is very good and I enjoy his drumming but Atom brought something else to the band. Just look at Against me since he has joined them he brings something to every band he is in.
@@davidwilson2810 Being used to hearing Tom with Travis Barker, Atom brought it up to what it needed to be. As you said, no one could have done it except him. He just always came up with the best energy and fills for the band.
Joseph Pixton it does me. raises my heart rate and shortens my breath. I'm a drummer and the energy felt in this video is how I describe my drumming style. (although I started in the 80's lol)
Two years since I last commented - love rewatching this video...........because of Cobus whenever something amazing happens to me I say - Dude, that was next level!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish other people could enjoy music as much as I do. This is my favorite song and both of y'all absolutely killed it. I cannot tell you how many times I have listened to this I just got a new set of headphones and have listened to it a couple times and it is so amazing on these headphones I have listened to this song over and over for many years. You both absolutely killed it this is my absolute favorite all-time video
This video introduced me to Atom Willard when I was just starting out on the kit and I’ve followed his career since, such a kickass drummer in everything he does.
There is just something so special about this cover. Cobus and Atom sound incredible together. It takes a great song and makes it legendary. Thing video makes me so happy every time I watch it. Thanks for making such great content!
Here I am near the end of 2024 and I'm still watching this video. One of my favourite songs from AvA. Atom looks like he is loving the whole experience watching cobus playing the song. One of the best drumming I have heard for this song.
didn't think angels and airwaves could get any better two awesome drumming styles coming together to make an already uplifting song that much better honestly one of the best drum duets i have ever heard
Besides being an incredibly creative "song drummer" (meaning a drummer that thinks songwise, aiming to build the best for the track), Atom is just pure joy to watch. His live drumming is aesthetically entertaining.
This makes me proud to be a drummer! I’ve been touring and doing studio work since I was 15 here in San Diego and all over this beautiful world if you ever get the chance to demo a song with another drummer you will never regret it. Thank you both very much for snapping sticks, glasses flying and smiles all around 🤘🥁
This is the only video that I watch over and over again. The reason why is because of the drum solo where Atom takes off his glasses and just goes at it, just jamming like crazy... Gives me fucking goose bumps all the time. Greetings Cobus! Fucking bad ass.
I've been going back and watching Atom Willard content hoping to spread some positivity toward his speedy recovery! Such a great video and cover, you can tell he genuinely loved doing this with you. Watching you guys feed off of each other is what making musing is all about!
5:32 this video was posted the first year of me playing drums,I remember watching that part of the video and thinking to myself all I want to do for the rest of my life is play drums! This was my main inspiration to play (really Cobus in general) ever since then I have had a lot of awesome opportunities, I owe a lot to cobus 👌🏾
This is and will always be my favourite drum cover. You guys have such synergy and share such passion for the drums. Everything about this is epic 🙌 Kobus smile at 04:48 says so much about how good this moment is from two quality musicians
I wish you could like a video every time you watched it. Id of single handedly pushed the likes into the tens of thousands with how many times I've watched this!
Anyone else notice at 3:37 the song says "our world" when it should be saying "and sounds" I think they reused a clip. Not a big deal, I just find it interesting.
Absolutely blows my mind you don’t have a million subscribers yet… such a true talent! You can absolutely tell Aton had a great tome do this. One of the most emphatic drummers to ever live and you got to drum with him.. so cool!
this is my all-time favorite Cobus video. Only because this was the first one I watched and it got me to start watching more of his videos and start listening to Angles and Airwaves. I love this video and watch everyday. I don't understand how this doesn't have millions of views
You are totally my favorite drummer. I have been listening to you for years. I love angels and airwaves. Just found this tonight and have listened to it at least 10 times. Music brings me so much joy and this was like a Christmas present. I've been dealing with so much lately. My mom has cancer I just found out about. Your drumming enhances songs Iike this one. Thank you for your music. I'm a musician and get lost in music. Thank you for an escape from the world tonight. For every minute you have put into becoming an epic drummer
Guy in video "Yeah I need 10 drums and 13 cymbals and hell throw a cow bell and a wind chime and it." Atom "Yeah I'll take that child's beginner set and make that s**t sound amazing"
5:34 dude.... your chops are godly! i hope people that don't play drums can recognize how difficult it is to play that high that fast. Cobus, keep doing what you are doing. i love your videos!
Awhh! And every so often, I am right back here again! Feels good every time! Hope you’re all well. Thank you Tom, Atom, Cobus, AVA and production crew 👌

Bro yall gotta fucking remake this
We need the full interview with Atom uploaded please!
Imstill here😪
Okay
10 years later and I'm still think this was the best drum cover duo video ever.
13 years after and this is one of my go-to videos still
@@Cyge240sxI always come back to this video
@@jessebeeghly3608me too
12 years later and I still keep coming back to hear the best double drum cover video ever made
8 years later... Always the most emotional duet I have seen.
P lomtttlk
Dodttod
L
For sure!
After almost 10 years.
This is the best duo i’ve ever seen.
About once a year I come back to this video and watch it again and every time it's just as good as I remember it being. Easily one of the coolest videos on RUclips!
Agreed. I do the same thing. Here's my 2017 visit I guess.
lol me too.. then i watch it like 4-5 times before i take a break and maybe come back to it a few months later :P
Me too. One of the best AvA song hands down.
Since it came out. Made me enjoy angels more. It's quite beautiful. Cobus living dreams.
hahah omg me to , now its been a year i am back
5:32 - 6:00 is easily the most chill-inducing 30 seconds that exist on RUclips.
Hi I'm Alan fuck that man this whole cove is amazing it makes the original track better
I agree, those floor toms pounding away makes that peak of the song full of primal emotion.
man ive on my thirties, a latino, father of a lil queen, strugglin here in Europe. And since today is my day off Im shouting mute this song loud on my earphones, Angel and Airwaves is like medicines sometimes. Along with Deftones.
Especially when Atom takes his glasses off!
I love Cobus is almost hitting his shoulder blades with the energy he is imparting into those drum sticks. They must be Titanium painted to look like wood.
Still gives me chills 11 years later. Epicness embodied in a video
I miss Atom so much! Dude was a HUGE part to the AvA sound.
Yup. Its actually wild a drummer can mean this much. Great take.
11 years later and at nearly 33 years old, this gives me goosebumps like the very first time.... I regret not continuing my drumming journey... life sometimes just kicks in...
Best thing about this; at the end when Cobus claims he couldn't take the pressure, Atom simply says 'Come on, you sounded great!". Great musicianship.
I miss Atom Willard in Angels & Airwaves more than I miss some family members...
Hehehehe. Your goddamn right
Shawn Nielsen me too...
You know, I think that The Dream Walker is their worst album (not bad, just least good) in no small part to Atom not being on drums.
And matt.. I miss original Ava so much dude
He’s doing amazing work with Against Me! And Laura Jane Grace and the Devouring Mothers now
when cobus threw in the double bass at 4:36 atom was fucking loving it
I love Ilan but Atom just gets so into it, it's beautiful to watch, gets me teary eyed
This. I remember watching the video for the adventure years ago, and his passion just bled through the screen
I love Atom. And he's on his own journey through the rock universe it seems. And I bet you've checked him out playing with Against Me!, He continues to really enrich any band he's playing in. They should all be very lucky to have him. Great drummer, great guy.

This is my all-time favorite AvA song and this drum cover just makes it so much better.
Hard to choose. Mines everything magic. But urs is a great choice to
heaven and valkyrie missile
Is the best.
There are very few ways the Angels & Airwaves experience can ever get better - this is one of them!
the whole time you just can't help but smile to watch someone achieve such an honor, drumming with a drummer who has made it through music and to see the energy and fun the two are having. this is fantastic
Atom contribution to Angels and Airwaves is just legendary.
Definitely, I don't think most people mention it enough but Atom was the better drummer for the band, I know who we have now is very good and I enjoy his drumming but Atom brought something else to the band. Just look at Against me since he has joined them he brings something to every band he is in.

Every year I watch this something new gets me. Like at the end when Cobus is wailin on his set and they’re going back n forth
Atom is the nicest rockstar I ever met, was over ten years ago but how nice he was still makes an impression on me
For some reason when I get a new pair of headphones or earbuds I listen to this legendary duet.
Does this make anyone else cry? True art.
Joseph Pixton it does me. raises my heart rate and shortens my breath. I'm a drummer and the energy felt in this video is how I describe my drumming style. (although I started in the 80's lol)
Thats what I am talking about. Keep thumpin, John!
I am with you Joseph.
This does not make me want to cry this does make me cry
Crying atm
Two years since I last commented - love rewatching this video...........because of Cobus whenever something amazing happens to me I say - Dude, that was next level!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Atom may not be the best technically, but he is one of my favorites to watch. Love the energy
Yes....He is very cool
man is a wild man you don't need to be technical with spirit like that
That's power from atom that's making his different with travis
I wish other people could enjoy music as much as I do. This is my favorite song and both of y'all absolutely killed it.

June 2020 - still watching. Best version of the song.
I love how it's drum forward in the cover audio vs. the studio recording which is awesome in and of itself.
Love the way Atom fills in for Cobus whilst he turns his snares wires on. Such a kind man
I nearly cried when AvA played this song on this year’s tour
Me too, one of my favorite songs of all time.
This song very emotional for me , the great of song in the world
Can't believe this video makes me cry.
didn't think angels and airwaves could get any better two awesome drumming styles coming together to make an already uplifting song that much better honestly one of the best drum duets i have ever heard
Besides being an incredibly creative "song drummer" (meaning a drummer that thinks songwise, aiming to build the best for the track), Atom is just pure joy to watch. His live drumming is aesthetically entertaining.
I didn’t know just how much I needed to watch this 🤯😭 I loved when Atom took his glasses off so he could really bring the song home
This makes me proud to be a drummer! I’ve been touring and doing studio work since I was 15 here in San Diego and all over this beautiful world if you ever get the chance to demo a song with another drummer you will never regret it. Thank you both very much for snapping sticks, glasses flying and smiles all around 🤘🥁
When atom remove his glasses you can see and feel that he is giving his everything and that this song has a meaning also for him.
This is the only video that I watch over and over again. The reason why is because of the drum solo where Atom takes off his glasses and just goes at it, just jamming like crazy... Gives me fucking goose bumps all the time. Greetings Cobus! Fucking bad ass.
7 years later and this is still the best drums duet video in youtube
its 2019 and i still watching this video. Atom is the beast !
Atom's drumming was one of my fave things about this era of AVA. Rad. Great job dude. You and this vid rip!
who would say that aggressive and smooth drumming styles could be so synchronized and sound this amazing
cobus is going DK on those drums at the end haha! idk how you could not like this. awesome cover!!!!
i keep coming back here.this was the first ava song i heard and this rad drum cover literally introduced me to them
I'm back for my monthly viewing. So much awesome in this video. I miss Atom in AvA. He had lots of energy and personality live with AvA!
This is still one of my favourite youtube videos.
10 years ago & i still watching it..
Both are out standing drummers. I loved the energy of this and how you guys were feeding off each other.
Its beautiful.
The emotion & energy in this is what I feel every time I sit at a drumkit.
I keep rewinding to 3:06, the sync and the joy is just too good...
I never noticed, that was crazy!
Cobus lost his drumsticks Atom lost his glasses and i lost my ear virginity !!
(AvA) .
Actually Atom just puts them on the floor while he's playing, like a boss 5:11
+BanJoe97 dang! i didnt even notice that :O
i got the fucking tingles ... great beyond anything ... feelwhise ish ... 100% pure love
my two most favourite drummers of all time !
9 years later and this still makes me smile, still gives me goosebumps on every fill. Amazing, miss Atom so much!!
I'm not even a drummer and I can't help but to smile when watching this.
you don't know how great it feels for drummers. It's like i'm playing my parts on this jam as well...
2:16 is supposed to say "Oh God" not "Our World" just pointing out that there was a reason for that edit. I wonder what it was.
4:11 BEST PART
Agree kkk
Atom Willard's drumming with AVA was truly incredible. He's gotta be my favourite drummer.
I've been going back and watching Atom Willard content hoping to spread some positivity toward his speedy recovery! Such a great video and cover, you can tell he genuinely loved doing this with you. Watching you guys feed off of each other is what making musing is all about!
I still watch this in 2015 when I need some reassurance that drumming isn't boring...
I still watch in 2021 my guy catch up…
5:32 this video was posted the first year of me playing drums,I remember watching that part of the video and thinking to myself all I want to do for the rest of my life is play drums! This was my main inspiration to play (really Cobus in general) ever since then I have had a lot of awesome opportunities, I owe a lot to cobus 👌🏾
Cobus please another song with Atom !!
the power of this song/performance really surprised me. I came in with no expectations and got blown away. It was great. Love you guys.
This is and will always be my favourite drum cover. You guys have such synergy and share such passion for the drums. Everything about this is epic 🙌
Kobus smile at 04:48 says so much about how good this moment is from two quality musicians
At 2:44. I like how Atom is just watching him as if thinking, "Yeah!"
+Olivia Sloane 4:22 as well
Some say that drumstick is still on the floor staring at Cobus to this very day.
Best Drummers in the world always wear Glass
Do contacts count? If so thank ya!!!
+Jason Delacruz thank you sir!
Simdog Robertson it was also a joke
And the coolest guys are always named Jason! That's just how it goes.
UNBELIEVABLE!!! I have listened to this about 10x and still I cannot get enough of it!! WELL DONE!!
I never get tired of watching this.... totally amazing jam!
I wish you could like a video every time you watched it. Id of single handedly pushed the likes into the tens of thousands with how many times I've watched this!
1:47 look at that drumstick go :)
Yeah, the hero shows he's a real human being that can do mistakes as anybody else ;)
Marcus Zimmer
haha yup :)
katana_92 not to mention leaving his snare wires off 😁
1:21 too and it cuts away instantly LOL
i did it many times when i play drums... lol..
Anyone else notice at 3:37 the song says "our world" when it should be saying "and sounds"
I think they reused a clip.
Not a big deal, I just find it interesting.
+TheDanimator o They used "our world" to cover up "Oh God". I wonder why.
Editing... Nothing more
+Glutexo005 maybe because its blasphemy
Glutexo005
He's Christian. That may have something to do with it
Absolutely blows my mind you don’t have a million subscribers yet… such a true talent! You can absolutely tell Aton had a great tome do this. One of the most emphatic drummers to ever live and you got to drum with him.. so cool!
13 years later and this still inspires the shit out of me. Love you Cobus
You two should do The Adventure or The War or Secret Crowds or Flight of Apollo or One Last Thing! Or all of them.. Mostly The Adventure thou
Atom is the bessst!
Wow it's like Atom Willard is part of the band or something he knows the song well......
Hahahaha, that's clever
Lol xD sucks he's not with Angels & Airwaves thou
magicD_drummaguy Yeah, bummer... He's a really good drummer :) And his work on those albums was sick! :)
^ heck yea dude! He's was pretty darn original
magicD_drummaguy but... he was the drummer for Angels and Airwaves...
this is my all-time favorite Cobus video. Only because this was the first one I watched and it got me to start watching more of his videos and start listening to Angles and Airwaves. I love this video and watch everyday. I don't understand how this doesn't have millions of views
The most superb drum cover...i'm still listening and watch even its 9 years past
5:10 like a boss.
"... from the 2009 I-Empire"
they played it so hard even drumset looks like sweating
You are totally my favorite drummer. I have been listening to you for years. I love angels and airwaves. Just found this tonight and have listened to it at least 10 times. Music brings me so much joy and this was like a Christmas present. I've been dealing with so much lately. My mom has cancer I just found out about. Your drumming enhances songs Iike this one. Thank you for your music. I'm a musician and get lost in music. Thank you for an escape from the world tonight. For every minute you have put into becoming an epic drummer
God this is the single greatest thing I have ever seen in the music world!
notice how they edited out "oh god" and filled it with "our world"
yeah but why?
Cobus come to AVA
Guy in video "Yeah I need 10 drums and 13 cymbals and hell throw a cow bell and a wind chime and it."
Atom "Yeah I'll take that child's beginner set and make that s**t sound amazing"
Haha yeah Atom is absolutely incredible. Spectacular drummer and just such a good dude.
@@cobuspotgieter Seems like it. You both killed it!
5:34 dude.... your chops are godly! i hope people that don't play drums can recognize how difficult it is to play that high that fast. Cobus, keep doing what you are doing. i love your videos!
Favorite drum video still years later. Wow!
1:47 there goes the drumstick and... it's gone!
maybe some assistant just picked it up, or made the video in 2 different shots
Kevin Mejia he probably had a spare on the ground....makes sense lol
Kevin Mejia Neither - this was all filmed live on Drumchannel.com back in 2011 and the live stream was recorded and kept
***** what are you talking about. That makes no sense as to what we're talking about.
***** you can see there is are extra pair of sticks below the second snare at 1:15
2018
Awesome !!
But I-Empire was released in 2007
how does cobus not hav a million subscribers yet? that baffles me... drummers are unappreciated... even the great ones...
Awhh! And every so often, I am right back here again! Feels good every time!
Hope you’re all well. Thank you Tom, Atom, Cobus, AVA and production crew 👌
So... October 2019? 😎👌
Cobus Potiegeter is equivalent of Dendi in dota 2
who’s here oct 2nd, 2024
9th November 2024....never gets old
If i could do just 1/100 of what they do then i woupd be so happy,i listen this every day i love it
This is a musical masterpiece...
