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!
@@matthewkamara6261 yup. the Guest was invited to a surprise lunch celebration for my cousin who turned 16. i'm looking at the photos/videos again right now...that be Mr. Moffitt for realz. nice birthday present, huh? :-) i just texted my other cousin and she said they JUS HAD dinner with him to celebrate HIS birthday.
@@cmoeller3 Sugarfoot's is authentic, this one is little more creative yet remains tight, i too prefer this over original, not putting down the original, but this is fun to listen to.
Michael: Annie are you O.K? Annie: Yes i'm fine. Michael: Annie are you O.K? Annie: I just told you i'm fi.. Michael: Annie are you O.K? Annie: Michael I'm FINE! Michael: Annie are you O.K? Annie: Yes.. Michael: O.K
the reason y i watch cobus play is cuz he knows his way around his set, he actually knows wat he's doin and isn't just beatin the shit out of the set, amazing cover dude mj would be proud
R.I.P. Michael but this man right here did your song some justice. On point man, two years old but still best drum cover i've seen thus far for one of my all time favorite songs. Props dude. Real props for real
I dont get why people always dis on cobus, saying he's overrated and things of that nature. I'm pretty sure over half of the people who say that don't know that he earned his way to where he is now. And for that, i give this guy my full respect. You're one of my main inspirations to play drums, cobus and thank you for all of the talent and entertainment that you give your fans. Truly inspiring, again thanks for everything you've done for us cobus! Stay rad!
That blew my mind, I've watched this like 10 times in a row trying to figure those fills out! And the fact that he improvises all of this is just insane! Truly incredible! I love your vids Cobus! I only hope that one day I can play like that!
You put all the drummers I know to shame!! This is the best drumming I've ever seen and I've seen so many. I swear, I'm gonna marry you and your drums.
Dude you're freakin fun to watch. You have a unique attack style and strong as hell. From the few video's I've watched you're incredibly versitile. Jack of all Genre's !!! Thanks for the video's bro!
I've been watching your videos since probably 3 years, and this is the first time that i watch this video, this is actually in my opinion the best cover you've ever done...amazing, i wont get tired of listening/watching this...i'll download the audio from this video, will be in my mp3 in a few minutes (in the playlist of the audio from your other videos). Sorry if I write wrong something, my real language is spanish, from Chile. Saludos !!!!
I'm still learning how to play the drums and I need to say this.....OUTSTANDING! I hope the Jackson family somehow watches this and maybe uses you for something down the line.
A great drummer stay right on top of the beat- a nano second quicker- and that is Cobus- it is key in moving the beat forward. He is wonderful. His drum interpretations are always better than the originals-- love it.
@coccinelsucrer correction, i meant : "I like the original better, but i think that's mostly due to the fact that i have so much respect for Michael and rather want his songs to remain untouched and unmodified. You're still amazing though!
latly ive watched most of your vids many times, but non as many as this1... i just cant get over how perfect you play it :P this song is 1000 times better with you covering it then the "plain" song :P Inspiering.... or however that words spelled ^^
I love how good u do your drum rolls, I used to have problems with them but got them down. Sweet drumming though...... you're pretty much one of the best drummers...if not, the best drummer on youtube.
Awesome Performance And Outstanding performance And Excellent Performance And Nice Performance And Fantastic Performance. KEEP IT UP SIR From Allan David God Bless You So Much Sir From Allan David.

@@waltrmitty bruh who your family??? 😭😭
When you got quarantine and you just watch the old stuff that you loved
Like 2009
to me this is one of the best drum covers ever, of any song or style
Mother of god! What impeccable fills, not one bit out of time even once. Amazing drumming. Think I prefer this to the original :)
hahaha nothing like an original
Check out sugar foot
@@cmoeller3 Sugarfoot's is authentic, this one is little more creative yet remains tight, i too prefer this over original, not putting down the original, but this is fun to listen to.
The most funky pop song you would listen to and with Cobus on the drums, EPIC.
STILL WATCHING THIS ITS DECEMBER 18, 2019 I STILL LOVE COBUS'S DRUM COVERS
Erm, could this guy get any cooler? Major props dude!
that ride cymbal sounds sublime!!
you're one of those drummers that makes me want to practice after i see you play.... so i will
Almost 10 years later with COVID an all. I'm still here!
Mee too
Michael: Annie are you O.K?
Annie: Yes i'm fine.
Michael: Annie are you O.K?
Annie: I just told you i'm fi..
Michael: Annie are you O.K?
Annie: Michael I'm FINE!
Michael: Annie are you O.K?
Annie: Yes..
Michael: O.K
1:05 oooohh are those *RIM SHOTS* ??😍 If so that fits perfectly into this section
Just so unbelieveable how fluid his playing is every video impresses me to the highest degree
Best ever MJ drummer cover!
Dude, that lead in fill still makes my jaw drop. And to think you're even better at playing now.
His timing is so fucking on point!
A fucking metronome
+Lucas Chacon you ever used a metronome? it's almost harder to listen to that and play the song. dick.
Haa so right this guy doesn't know what he's talking about at all lol
michael bowman No he's saying the guy is like a metronome. Jesus all you people get so triggered.
14 YEARS! and first time seeing this! I Am impressed! great DRUMMING!
oh yeah I'm such a fan of your drum cover !!!!!!!!
the reason y i watch cobus play is cuz he knows his way around his set, he actually knows wat he's doin and isn't just beatin the shit out of the set, amazing cover dude mj would be proud
A remake would be great! I´m looking forward....
R.I.P. Michael but this man right here did your song some justice. On point man, two years old but still best drum cover i've seen thus far for one of my all time favorite songs. Props dude. Real props for real
10 years later and im still here! Wonder how he would play it Now!!!!

You sir put my drumming to shame.
You are a beautiful drummer and a joy to watch. Probably the best I've seen on youtube. Thanks for sharing your talent!

You put all the drummers I know to shame!! This is the best drumming I've ever seen and I've seen so many.
I swear, I'm gonna marry you and your drums.
for the 95 dislike this vid I personally guarntee this man can play drums better than anyone of you >
Very tight. Nice hat control and I dig the ghost feel.
10 yeas later...💓
Wow. I'm blown away man. You absolutely paid homage to this
it SOOOO gOOOOOOOOOOOOOOd
i like how cobus plays from the heart. its hard to find someone like that. sometimes its simple but he makes it go all together :)
When you hear sugarfoot and then you came heree to listen the difference omg...
So who's better?
@@pataudi8025 sugarfoot ofc
@@G.O.X This song yes, but in the others I surprisingly find Cobus a Deal better.
hey jack
2009 -2019 the very first drum cover I ever watched from you dude. Still my fav.
2021 anyone?
Dude you're freakin fun to watch. You have a unique attack style and strong as hell. From the few video's I've watched you're incredibly versitile. Jack of all Genre's !!!
Thanks for the video's bro!
better than the original ;-)
Then you don't know what you are talking about. This dude is good but no where near Sugarfoot level
I've been watching your videos since probably 3 years, and this is the first time that i watch this video, this is actually in my opinion the best cover you've ever done...amazing, i wont get tired of listening/watching this...i'll download the audio from this video, will be in my mp3 in a few minutes (in the playlist of the audio from your other videos).

John Connor from The Sarah Connor Chronicles :D
Sorry you can't play cymbal at 2:49. It killed the groove. Please check Jonathan Moffett Sugarfoot's version on Drumeo on how to properly play it.
Oh...and where are your video uploads eh?
Dick.
I don't need an upload to tell crap. This is pure crap, sorry. No true fan of Michael Jackson will call this a good cover.
Dê um like quem está assistindo em 2019! I'm Brazil 🇧🇷
I've watched many drum covers by Cobus, this by far the best. Love the fills (y)
Like and watch 2017
One of the best by cover...I think
LOL your older than coop3drumm3r i don't know that
And he's way better, Cooper is overrated.
dude this cover was amazing! the fills were complex and still had perfect timing...keep up the good work bro
I'm still learning how to play the drums and I need to say this.....OUTSTANDING! I hope the Jackson family somehow watches this and maybe uses you for something down the line.
How's your drumming?
14 year later ❤
dude, just sick...I just playlisted all your stuff...this is gonna be a good day
Best ever drum cover
this guy is my personal drumming hero
the best iv ever seen, phenominal sound and rythm
Best recording setup ever?
Never heard sound as good as this for youtube videos. And, of course, AWESOME playing. Props, 5*.
Great tribute man. One of my all time favorite songs and you simply murdered it.
nice quality video, and some of the best drums i have ever seen in my life
The Micheal Jackson groove took over my soul like a smooth criminal.......
A great drummer stay right on top of the beat- a nano second quicker- and that is Cobus- it is key in moving the beat forward. He is wonderful. His drum interpretations are always better than the originals-- love it.
that is definately the sweetest sounding ride i've ever heard!
I like this song 🎶
Can't believe I stumbled on this now...your timing is unreal...big fan
