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!
You are absolutely killing these re-covers. EDIT: I realize it's not a re-cover in hindsight - it was the fact on the Pop video at the end, and on this one, he calls the whole thing the Re-cover Project, is why I made the comment.
+kodiak wild Exactly. And a quick look at the description would show that this song came from Breaking Benjamin's Dark Before Dawn album released this year.
+GGOnline you also gotta think that Breaking Benjamin isn't as young as they once were lol. So for their age, and for the time they've been out of the game..it's a very well recorded and written album
THIS is how you do a drum cover! Color inside the lines, but venture outside them tastefully and when it adds a unique element to the original music. Take notes, people! Cobus is the king of drum covers!
Dude, you have such authority in what you do; not only behind the drum set (which is so clearly visible) but also 'behind the scenes' - it comes across the production of your videos, what comes out of your mouth and what your fingers type... I don't know if that makes sense but seriously bro, you're an inspiration.
I'm still here man, it's been 8 years and IT STILL makes my day when you upload a cover. I've missed you Cobus, my man. You are the very essence of energy that made me pick up my drumsticks and enjoy it to this very day. Thank you. Will always support you as on of ur most loyal fans! Also submitted my song from Black Bourbon Sunday to your Re-cover project.. I will pray each day to see you play MY SONG.. when one of the reasons I play like I play is you.. Cheers man, love you and thank you for giving me this passion, this meaning of life that is drums.
No kidding, these are all amazing but the four cymbal choke section is just god tier. I have shown this to so many people and they just don't understand how impressive it really is to pull that move off so cleanly.
Such an awesome drum play through. Amazing fills, and great song. You’ve been an inspiration to myself as a drummer over the years Cobus. Thank you ! 🙏🏼😁
I cannot wait until I get my drum set to start playing like Cobus in this video....too much fun covering this song in particular, Breaking Benjamin needs this guy to play them with this melodic touch.Bravo!
Brother i just want to say been watching your videos since the beginning, its amazing! how much your abilities have grown you've been just killing it, and i just love your videos brother best of luck!
Oh my word!! Cobus, you are killin it on your covers just like always!! Please don't ever stop creating incredible content! You are an inspiration to me to keep creating drum cover videos on RUclips!! You are a flippin BOSS!
You are amazing Cobus!!!!! The launch of your new project, the flawless cover of breaking the silence by my favorite band and your overall goofy smile/attitude made my day. Year infact!! I can't wait to hear more from you. 😃👍
Cobus, I'm absolutely in love with this new Re-Cover project you're doing! Watching your video on your site melted my heart! My band is in the process of writing material right now, and I think your project is the thing our band needs! Much love from Minnesota, USA!
LLKKLK RRKKRK LLKKLK RRLL(RL together). Something like this. 32nd notes. Timing is a little hard to explain, but I think it stards at the '4 and'. Please correct me if I'm wrong. ;)
Dude you absolutely KILLED IT! I love the added flair and you look like you love what you do. Not to mention you're insanely talented. I'm subbing! Keep up the good work man!
After all this time and I finally stumbled across an amazing cover of such a great song. Your fills are crazy good and on point...I may not have the coordination to play the drums but I certainly have an ear for it...and for you sir, job well done !!!
Dear Cobus, Can you please stop making me wait a week for your next cover. When it comes to your covers I am very impatient and I would appreciate if you just launched them all at me so I could feel like a kid in Christmas again and stay in my house all day watching your videos. Sincerely, just a bro who loves your covers
I'm so glad you covered one of the songs from their new album. This song definitely has a lot of great double bass transitions that give it a great aggressive tone. Very sharp. Just when you think you can't surpass perfection, you always keep me watching man! Keep 'em coming man! Especially if you cover another one from this album (cough cough, Defeated, cough cough) (P.S. nice touch with the rack tom sound manipulation when you hit the tom while your other stick was resting on the skins. Cool sound overall)
Great cover, and hearing about the new project is very exciting! I can't wait to hear all the music I've been missing out on. Also, sent in my own application!
That little trick of pressing down the tom to change it's pitch has been used before in some drum solos but I've never seen it in an actual drum full like this! And he plays it so flawlessly too! Major respect for Cobus!
This is the first video I've ever viewed from your channel. Absolutely loved it! You just picked up a new subscriber my friend (: outstanding job! Cheers!

+Andrew Quartararo Seriously some one call the cops, there has been a murder.
+Andrew Quartararo Except this isn't a recover
+thedrumguy re-cover.
+thedrumguy frosty was talking about this not being a REcover, not a cover, which the title says. recovers are something different.
+kodiak wild
Exactly. And a quick look at the description would show that this song came from Breaking Benjamin's Dark Before Dawn album released this year.
2:25 2:40 I gotta say, I am impressed by your ability to create pure platinum out of thin air.
This year has been a good year, BB and Cobus came back! !! !
BB cpt?
Alan Lordini Breaking Benjamin
+Stin i thought you meant Blackberry xD
+Stin Still think that the new Breaking Benjamin album is subpar. Maybe thats only me ...
+GGOnline you also gotta think that Breaking Benjamin isn't as young as they once were lol. So for their age, and for the time they've been out of the game..it's a very well recorded and written album

DAYUMM, killing it man. those cymbal chokes at 2:25 are too smooth for me to handle
I'm still here man, it's been 8 years and IT STILL makes my day when you upload a cover. I've missed you Cobus, my man. You are the very essence of energy that made me pick up my drumsticks and enjoy it to this very day. Thank you.

im a guitar player, been playing for about 10 years. but cobus is the only person that has ever EVER made me want to get behind a drum kit.
I've watched this about 50 times and I'm still in awe........
Wow... I gotta say this cover gave me goosebumps... absolutely amazing
Cobus dude....blowing me away. You're an inspiration for me, thank you!

No kidding, these are all amazing but the four cymbal choke section is just god tier. I have shown this to so many people and they just don't understand how impressive it really is to pull that move off so cleanly.
its awesome to see how fluid you are. probably one of the most relaxed/kill playing I've seen in a while. 👌
I been watching your covers from since the beginning , I bet ya I’ve watched them 10,000times . That said I am blown away with this one man. Thanks
Such an awesome drum play through.
Amazing fills, and great song.
You’ve been an inspiration to myself as a drummer over the years Cobus.

I love the end parts of your videos, how natural and wonderful they're. Fantastic drum cover!
I cannot wait until I get my drum set to start playing like Cobus in this video....too much fun covering this song in particular, Breaking Benjamin needs this guy to play them with this melodic touch.Bravo!
Amazing build-up fill going into the bridge at 1:59, Cobus. Very creative and very catchy. Keep up the awesome work!
Brother i just want to say been watching your videos since the beginning, its amazing! how much your abilities have grown you've been just killing it, and i just love your videos brother best of luck!
Honestly this to me is as inspiring and motivating as anything I have encountered. Phenominal.
I love that you're making videos again. can't wait to see what comes out of the re-cover project.

Fan freaking tastic as always Cobus. :D Tutorial for 1:59 please!
LLKKLK RRKKRK LLKKLK RRLL(RL together). Something like this. 32nd notes. Timing is a little hard to explain, but I think it stards at the '4 and'. Please correct me if I'm wrong. ;)
Ty ty! :D
+TheMrGerrie It was perfectly explained, but you made a typo, at the last "RRLL". Let me correct:
LLKK L K RRKK R K LLKK L K RRKK(R+L)

After all this time and I finally stumbled across an amazing cover of such a great song. Your fills are crazy good and on point...I may not have the coordination to play the drums but I certainly have an ear for it...and for you sir, job well done !!!
Really enjoy your vids. As a fellow drummer I check your stuff out from time to time for some fresh ideas. Thanks!
Man, Cobus, that snare sounds excellent!
Awesome song choice!! Great cover!! Your an amazing drummer.
2:25 HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE???????!?!!!!!?
Heel toe to crash. It sounded like 3 bass hits to crash repeated four times. Insane...
+Charles wood really fucking insane shit
Dear Cobus,
Can you please stop making me wait a week for your next cover. When it comes to your covers I am very impatient and I would appreciate if you just launched them all at me so I could feel like a kid in Christmas again and stay in my house all day watching your videos.
Sincerely, just a bro who loves your covers
Awesome work dude! I LOVE Breaking Benjamin.
I love his cover of the song and yours two thumbs up for the both of you
+Eddie G thanks

So excited for more if your amazing covers. Keep up the great work.
Great cover man sweet kit sounds great !!! Love breaking benjamin
Such an epic song played by an equally awesome drummer. Great job amazing me once again ma man!
I'm so glad you covered one of the songs from their new album. This song definitely has a lot of great double bass transitions that give it a great aggressive tone. Very sharp. Just when you think you can't surpass perfection, you always keep me watching man!
Keep 'em coming man! Especially if you cover another one from this album (cough cough, Defeated, cough cough)
(P.S. nice touch with the rack tom sound manipulation when you hit the tom while your other stick was resting on the skins. Cool sound overall)
It's crazy to see your progression over the years
Jamming in 2022🤘🏻 Can’t get enough of a Cobus cover
Great cover, and hearing about the new project is very exciting! I can't wait to hear all the music I've been missing out on. Also, sent in my own application!

+Ben McCreery Love the creativity you bring every cover
That little trick of pressing down the tom to change it's pitch has been used before in some drum solos but I've never seen it in an actual drum full like this! And he plays it so flawlessly too! Major respect for Cobus!
+Dom “Dommy459” Gilburt *fill
That fill was sick, watched it like 5 times
I know ryt????he is amazing..one of the greatest legends of my drum life.
