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!
I actually thought to myself, he changes backgrounds more than i change my boxers, but then i looked at the date, and i was like, ohhhhhh. thats why! lol
There are hundreds of thousands of RUclips drummers... However, there's just a specific delight that one can only get from watching Cobus play drums; he was there from the very beginning and definitely helped to pioneer the art of doing drum covers, which is now used worldwide. When I look at Cobus still making drum covers in 2017, it somehow makes me think of Roger Federer, who not only is still playing but even winning tennis tournaments. Even after all these years, and having had SO MANY people stand up and do the same as Cobus (which of course is awesome), Cobus (just like Federer) is still accomplishing so much! I can only thank God that this talented dude is still dedicating time and effort to bring joy to the world. Cobus, please never stop doing this, even in your 50's, would you please keep on making us smile as we nod our heads? :) I'm sure this is not a request from me but from millions of people, bro. ¡Gracias amigo!
that's the key, he was having fun, we're all at our best when we are having fun! ever worked at/for an ad agency, I have and they fucking get it, just like this dude.
Alright, what other Blink fans immediately started hearing Reckless Abandon playing in their head after this one ended? Awesome job as always Cobus, love how you kept the original groove of the song and just improved on it, especially in the bridge! Sounded mint.
No matter what song it is, even if I hate the song, I still watch his drum covers till the end. There's just something about it that keeps you watching!
The joy is one I don't use lightly, but I am filled with joy watching Cobus play. The smile doesn't hurt but it's the energy and creativity he puts into the covers that is so unique. It's a beautiful balance of having fun by doing a lot but never overdoing it.
I've watched you for years and you literally are the reason why I started to play an instrument that I never knew would grow in me. My passion for drumming grows stronger with every video I watch from you no matter how much I replay it. Thank you, Cobus. You serve as an inspiration for a guy like me who simply wants to become as skilled as you.
Let's appreciate 1:15 for a second.... Cobus is hitting the floor tom with his left arm, while keeping a perfect beat, AND while doing the incredibly hard/amazing bass drum beat. Bravo. He is the master of drum covers.
Cobus, I’m currently 22 and I started watching your covers when I was 13... it’s crazy to see you still killing it this far into your RUclips journey. You inspired me to get into music and now I am producing. Thank you sir, you are a day 1 to me!!
Cobus, this is by far and away the best drum cover that I have ever seen. Apologies if my repeated viewership of this skews the actual number of people who have watched this...
PERFECT!!! perfect song...perfect sound...perfect technique...perfect video.. all time Blink 182 favourite song good job bro!!! shout out from Indonesia
You're a monster cobus! There are lots of other awesome drummer out there but somehow there's something about you that makes you stand out. You are having so much fun and the way you play is so cool or maybe its you posture or something.
Cobus dude these quickly covered vids are equal or even superior in quality to your prior "professional" covers that I presume you spent more time on. Been subbed since 2014 and I was so sad when you stopped uploading for a year after the Busted videos. SO HAPPY YOU'RE BACK MAN!!
Wauw - That just begave one of my favorite covers by Cobus.. I know it is good when I can´t stop smiling. What I won´t give to be able to do that.. Amazing!!
I remembered stumbling into your video 8 years ago. Its good to see you're still making awesome drum covers, one could consider you the godfather of drum covers eh. Cheers from the Philippines.
Breathing deeply, walking backwards Finding strength to call and ask her Roller coaster, favorite ride Let me kiss you one last time Leave me standing here Act like I'm not around The coast will probably never clear Can I please go home now? I had that dream About you again Where I wait outside Until you let me in And there I stayed Lay beside me And listen at the wall We'll keep on lying Until the summer comes I had that dream About you again Where you drive my car Right off a fucking cliff And now I'm breathing deeply, walking backwards Finding strength to call and ask her Roller coaster, favorite ride Let me kiss you one last time Make me promise That I will never tell All I remember is The way her bedroom smelled I had that dream About you again Where I wait outside Until you let me in And now I'm breathing deeply, walking backwards Finding strength to call and ask her Roller coaster, favorite ride Let me kiss you one last time Goodnight, goodnight

Well-put! I'm behind this 100%.
Couldn’t have said it better myself 👌
This is so true. Thank you Cobus.
cant say more
Hi Joel, I did go to Nexus; a life changing experience that I'll be eternally grateful for.
You can tell he was having fun because he kept making the “that fill was so nasty it actually smells” face
you need to copyright that phrase
that's the key, he was having fun, we're all at our best when we are having fun! ever worked at/for an ad agency, I have and they fucking get it, just like this dude.

link470 lol me
ME!! Then I played it literally. XD
Hahaha same here
Love reckless abandon, but no TBH
Hahahah I though the same
The combination of Cobus and Blink-182 is unbeatable. Please, more Blink covers.
Quickly Covered. Quickly Liked.
Nikola Drums have
No matter what song it is, even if I hate the song, I still watch his drum covers till the end. There's just something about it that keeps you watching!
Now you should do Reckless Abandon. That song is also a really dope song off of the same album
The whole TOYPAJ album you mean!
Bennetts Marks yes that song is awesome.
Yeah sorry i actually meant the entire album.
What is the definition of 'dope' in the oxford dictionary?
0:56 😍😍😍😍 always liked when Travis did it. But just fell in love when you did it!
That double bass during the outro was filthy...cobus is the best!
I was very much delighted by this 1:41
As always, best $5 I’ve spent. Well done bro, made my Saturday morning coffee time even more awesome.
Cobus Potgieter random question but is true that china should be turned upside down to prevent cracking?
The joy is one I don't use lightly, but I am filled with joy watching Cobus play. The smile doesn't hurt but it's the energy and creativity he puts into the covers that is so unique. It's a beautiful balance of having fun by doing a lot but never overdoing it.
HELL YEAH! Blink cover, that's all you can hope for, thanks Cobus
2:18 Luis Suarez playing Drums
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lololololllll
Lol 😂😂😂😂😂
And Lil bit morata Lol
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHABAABABABABABAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAH
I’m glad Cobus is starting to upload again, for a moment I thought he disappeared out of nowhere cause he hadn’t uploaded in 8 months to a Year.
This is the reason I started watching your videos years and years ago! Keep up the covers!
YES! You made my day dude, thanks so much! Please more Blink 182 covers 🤘🙏🙏
I've watched you for years and you literally are the reason why I started to play an instrument that I never knew would grow in me. My passion for drumming grows stronger with every video I watch from you no matter how much I replay it. Thank you, Cobus. You serve as an inspiration for a guy like me who simply wants to become as skilled as you.
That sidesnare sounds so beautiful
1:40-1:42 Simply amazing.
That awesome "I did it!" smile at the end by Cobus. Just classic.
Cobus is just awsome, no words to describe the feelings I get when I see and hear Cobus drumming... plus drumming to Blink 182 is way too much fun
Every time I watch him do that double bass section towards the end puts a smile on my face.
This drum cover made my month!!!! Cobus playing blink!!!!! Thank you Cobus and Patreons!!! I'm so happy right now :)
Let's appreciate 1:15 for a second....
Cobus is hitting the floor tom with his left arm, while keeping a perfect beat, AND while doing the incredibly hard/amazing bass drum beat.
Bravo. He is the master of drum covers.
Woah!! Just yesterday I was listening to this song and I was thinking "will cobus ever cover a blink song again" LOL
Cobus, I’m currently 22 and I started watching your covers when I was 13... it’s crazy to see you still killing it this far into your RUclips journey. You inspired me to get into music and now I am producing. Thank you sir, you are a day 1 to me!!
1:41 hahahah! He thrives on those subtleties.
I was just about to look for Cobus videos and boom, new cover. Praise the Lord.
That Song! Perfect as always!
I don't know why there are people who dislike this video. Cobus keep going and do any cover that you want. Your videos are amazing as always.
Cobus mate that double bass at the end was a lovely touch. You saucy git!
A roller coaster of happy emotions at this video!!!
Cobus, this is by far and away the best drum cover that I have ever seen. Apologies if my repeated viewership of this skews the actual number of people who have watched this...
I swear Cobus is the best technical drummer in the world!
firstly, how is this the first time I've seen this, secondly, double bass drumming a blink song. awesome!
Anything blink is always awesome af 👌
PERFECT!!! perfect song...perfect sound...perfect technique...perfect video..

Double pedals on Blink's song? Blasphemy!! Hahaha. Awesome as always Cobus!
Very, very, very, veerryyyy nice drummer. My fav since I'm a high schooler. Big respect. Keep it up!
*Every strike, so clean.*
You're a monster cobus! There are lots of other awesome drummer out there but somehow there's something about you that makes you stand out. You are having so much fun and the way you play is so cool or maybe its you posture or something.
The classic bite your lip drummer face @ 2:16
Back to playing blink!! This is the cobus we all fell in love with years ago! Thanks for the blast from the past
He's back!!!! So glad you're doing covers again!!!!!!
Its funny that I am not a Blink 182 fan, but enjoyed watching Cobus do his magic ! Amazing ! Loved all the cymbal work!
you killed those ghost notes in that bridge!!!
I actually love the double bass that you threw in near the end so much that everytime I listen to the original I wanna hear it
I like that you still cover blink songs
THE BEST EVER BLINK182!!!!!!!! Cool!!!
You got your cardio for the day...and then some. Loved it!

One of my favorite blink-182 songs (and all time, all around favorite songs) so beautifully done!
Cobus dude these quickly covered vids are equal or even superior in quality to your prior "professional" covers that I presume you spent more time on. Been subbed since 2014 and I was so sad when you stopped uploading for a year after the Busted videos. SO HAPPY YOU'RE BACK MAN!!
Nailed it Cobus! Quickly covered but deeply rekindled a great part of my childhood listening to this!
These spur of the moment kinda covers are really fun, man. Just how drumming should be.
My go to 'fun song' is Zero to Hero from the Disney Hercules Movie. You should try it sometime ;)
The videos are starting to go back to class cobus. this makes me very happy!

I'm really enjoying this quick cover series. Such a joy to watch it.
Wauw - That just begave one of my favorite covers by Cobus.. I know it is good when I can´t stop smiling. What I won´t give to be able to do that.. Amazing!!
Incredible! Love the way your drums are mastered, sounds perfect.
King the covers
I remembered stumbling into your video 8 years ago. Its good to see you're still making awesome drum covers, one could consider you the godfather of drum covers eh. Cheers from the Philippines.
That was one of the best drum performances I’ve seen ever
View number 50! Love you Cobus! You and Kristina Shiano will forever be my drumming inspirations.
Breathing deeply, walking backwards
Finding strength to call and ask her
Roller coaster, favorite ride
Let me kiss you one last time
Leave me standing here
Act like I'm not around
The coast will probably never clear
Can I please go home now?
I had that dream
About you again
Where I wait outside
Until you let me in
And there I stayed
Lay beside me
And listen at the wall
We'll keep on lying
Until the summer comes
I had that dream
About you again
Where you drive my car
Right off a fucking cliff
And now I'm breathing deeply, walking backwards
Finding strength to call and ask her
Roller coaster, favorite ride
Let me kiss you one last time
Make me promise
That I will never tell
All I remember is
The way her bedroom smelled
I had that dream
About you again
Where I wait outside
Until you let me in
And now I'm breathing deeply, walking backwards
Finding strength to call and ask her
Roller coaster, favorite ride
Let me kiss you one last time
Goodnight, goodnight
Best cover (so far)
We needed the blink 182 covers :')
Your bass triplets are freaking INSANE!
Double bass drum at the end so sick! Amazing cover
Never fail to surprise! Awesome!
That was so swift and smooth man.
Cobus un maestro de otro mundo.
When you think no one can overplayed a Blink 182 song... Cobus do it!!! jajajajaja amazing cover!!!
