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 don't know if you've heard his cover of Diary of Jane by Breaking Benjamin, but he does a fill during the song and it just ties the rest of the song together. Love it so much that I wish it were actually part of the song.

Ikr? I'm pretty sure I know which one you're talking about, and you're so right! It's just like the 2 bar fill he does in one of his songs with Ventura Lights (I forget which one) with the rims and bell ride. Just DAMN!

He gives it 3 good hits, which are pretty close to the 3 in Evil Angel right before the guitar comes in.

Lol I was being sarcastic man no worries! It was just funny how he incorporated it

Wow, Cobus, I started watching all of these videos genuinely when they first came out and I still come back, thank you for continuing to put the love of drumming in my heart!!

This is like cover inception! And that was pretty awesome! Love the sound of the drums, snare especially.

Throughout all the times I've watched this amazing cover I just realized that at 3:08 keep your eye on the meduim tom mic lol anyways this is amazing!!

3:13 BEAST MODE ACTIVATE!!!

Anyone who is here criticize Cobus for what he is doing shouldn't be here. Just because he came up with his own playing style doesn't mean he isn't trying to improve his style every day. It never stops getting better. Still think this isn't good? Put in head phones with 720p HD close your eyes and just listen to every beat and every snare hit and symbol hit now that is a thing of beauty. Well done Cobus you inspire me as a drummer myself and encourage me to Improve every time i hit the drum set.

10 years of this masterpiece. Much love from Utah.

that drum set is a beast, srsly

Damn, this great cover.. Love it.

桜林あや yeay, ^~^. this music from band "tonight alive - little lion man" .

Cobus i've been watching your videos since i started drumming and i must say you are one of my biggest influences. Your drumming skills have MASSIVELY improved from your older videos! I hope i can see you play live someday :) Rock on!

I play guitar so naturally I used to listen to the guitar more than anything else when listening to songs but now thanks to you, I focus on the drums more and air drum the shxt out of ... air whilst listening! Love you man easily my favourite sub on here!

One of the best drum covers EVER. By the way, great fills...

I feel like you should have released two versions of this... One with the swear and one without. The song kind gets its power from the word for me. I'm not one to swear myself, but I love the way she says the f word in this song. lol

Ever since i heard the original by "Mumford and Sons" I fell in love with it! Then my favorite drummer makes this beautiful piece of art! You're truly amazing Cobus

I just love how clean and crisp all of his hits are on this song which is such a high tempo.

he's like luis suarez :D

Jesus fuck, man. What the hell did you shoot into your leg? Your bass drum skills are awesome!

ive missed you cobussss! best series youve done in agesss!

Cobus is so good he the causes even the highest grade of cameras to blur when he shows his skill...proof that he's god of drums.

All Cobus versions are always the best! Literally!

I love this cover! Not because its the best drumming ever but because Its fun to watch! Just like the my life would suck without you cover! Cobus please make more videos like this. Just having fun behind the kit. It doesn't have to be ultra polished and perfectly performed just fun! Thats what makes you a unique drummer to all the other thousands of great drummers out there! When you play like this you are the most entertaining drummer to watch!

Best display of the series so far, no doubt. I can't believe you actually made me want to listen to that song more than once!

Still here about to ring in 2023. One of the best damn covers ive ever seen!

You are so amazing!! When ever i need motivation to continue playing i watch your videos. Thank you Cobus!

it has been one year i still love this song keep going Cobus!! u r the best !!

Man... you just made the song reach another level!

Man, I don't even play drums-I'm a guitar player-but watching your videos always inspires me to practice and ENJOY the music I play. Thanks for being an awesome musician, Cobus.

One of your best covers yet! Seriously, you just got so into it and it sounded unbelievable! South African pride my man!

2.15 - 3.13 really love this song, cobus you made this song to another level

Bro that was insanely sick. I never imagined it looking that intense just listening to it. Major props.

took my FAVORITE cover song and made it even more awesome!!! Cobus you are the man!!

m8 u never cease to impress me, you've been my inspiration for years!

I absolutely love this version of this song!!! You made it even better!!! It is so much fun to play drums to :)

Damn it's been 8 years ago and this is still my favourite video of yours🔥

I love this guys taste in music, and you can tell he plays cause he enjoys it. Thumbs Up!

Possilby the best cover I've seen you do over the last three to four years. Most of the covers you've been doing lately seem like you've been trying to push yourselft to become a better drummer and keep doing new things, but this one seemed to have a hint of just letting go and being the kickass drummer that you are. Loved it. Hope to see more. All the best!

Stunning cover! You inspire a lot of people Cobus, including me. Thank you for making the Cobus method aswell, helps a lot with my drumming.

I noticed whenever he does any double-bass on its own he lifts his hands into the air. I must say that because of him I picked that up and now I look awesome when I do it. Thank you Cobus =)

one of my favorite cobus covers

Pfff and watching in 2020 again. Disgustingly badass. My best air drum impressions with this one

Absolutely love your cover! And your enthusiasm!

I didn't know about this song or band and have the extreme urge to play this now! Sounds great, bro!

Insane how it looks so easy and natural when played by you !!! Once behind the drum kit it's not the same story...

Lets not complicate this. You rock, and you can tell you love it. Best drummer I've ever seen, ever!

this is one of my favorite cover of them all :) ive been a drummer for 2 years, and i play in my church every sunday. i dont want to sound mushy, but your honestly my inspiration! :) keep it up

I must say I have now listened to this version about 30 times... At least! I love what she has done with it and will probably listen to it a lot more in times to come! I would however also like to heard him drum with the Mumford and Sons one... They have a very unique sound that gives like a musty feel to it! All around a good song done by Mumford or Tonight Alive! All of that said Cobus has inspired me to pick up my sticks again... There is nothing in life as epic as drumming!

Why does this guy know every song I wish to see drum covers of?

i am a big fan and ive listened to you for a while, but lately youve been playing songs that isnt for you, but this song i think you enjoyed and you done really well :) thankyou so much for starting drum covers, you are AMAZING

I'm a drummer sort of new, but dude... This is really good. Definitely checking out your band and more of your covers. This is truly brilliant.

covers like this is why I love watching you play. Very Cobus :)

Damn Cobus, you rock those drums like nobody's business. You have major talent. By the way, your new album is sick!

Incredible cover bro!!! I've watched this so many times since it's been uploaded.

as a drummer i feel there is a fine line between overplaying, and being creative. there are few drummers out there that play creative, but still keep the integrity of the song. cobus executes this perfectly.

i really loved the way the camera was angled and this is an awesome song

Cobus is awesome. This song is awesome. WE ALL WANT MORE AWESOME, PLEASE!

I love that you chose to cover this song!

Back this year to learn this, feeling nostalgic lol thanks cobus

This is soooooooooooooooooo good! Ugh, can't stop listening to it.

I think I have seen this video at least 20 times. I love this cover.

Thank you cobus for showing me a really awesome band!

Also have seen this video like over 15 times, your an animal!, much respect bro!

for me cobus is best drummer cover on youtube

You're an inspiration man! And thank you for introducing me to Tonight Alive. Great band!

Hear me out Cobus! This is to you! Just imagine a world, a world that everyone despises and doesn't care about music. Just imagine yourself re-sparking the purpose of music, and slowly re-uniting the world with your epicness and fixing the world. In other words, you are the best drummer, and i look up to you, you're my idol. Love you Cobus.

Speaking of going to Drum Channel Studios to meet Cobus, I had a dream a few nights ago that I met Cobus at DC! It was the best dream ever!

A week ago I didnt even know this song, now I cant stop listening to it.

love this drum cover!! It's my favorite! You're amazing!

the snare sounds amazing and i really love to see him playing

This is one of his best covers imo! I love all the "fills", or whatever its called (im not a drummer) This video always makes me wish a was one tho. dammit he's so cool!

So many awesome fills!

Cobus wins at life! Can't wait to see how much he increases after taking the technical lessons he is getting... He is already pure insanity and with 100% stick control etc he is going to play a whole in the ground where the kit used to be! Also would have LOVED to hear this rather done by Mumford and Sons... This dude's voice just doesn't give me that epic folk feel that they do so very well! Another great drumsolo Cobus!

Damn you and your talent!! You make me feel so inadequate!

Cobus is a legend in the making.

Another amazing video my friend.... kit sounds amazing to dude.. you deserve everything you've gotten and everything that has yet to come your way

cobus said this many times..... he knows his covers are not really covers. He adds his own style and other things into his covers

Man, i haven't checked out Cobus in a while. I had forgotten how incredibly tight of a drummer he is!

AWESOME cover, of the cover! Love it, nice one Cobus!

232,000 Views doesnt do you any way near enough credit for the talent you have. GET FAMOUS MAN! your amazing

Love, love, love it! You are amazing!!!

definitely my favorite Cover!! Amazing!

In my opinion, best cover by Cobus. Maybe not my fav, but the best.

I love this video. This is a perfect example of what a free drummer is. When you play a song and not really care about what's coming. Every drummer knows this feeling too. Were you literally put everything you have got in a song and just not give a fuck about the structure of it.

This just put a big smile on my face!

Not responding to anyone in particular but just general to all this about people comparing cobus to other drummers etc. Firstly, one thing is that the large majority of cobus fans pretty much only watch the videos/things that he says in the description and don't comment or read the comments. The large majority also LOVE his videos, for what they are, and not for what they are similar to or almost the same as or not as good as. People keep watching/liking his videos, he keeps doing them

i love your kit i love your cymbals i love how you play!:)

Awesome Man!! Really Great Cover :D Your inspiring me to play even more

3:07 just always leaves me freakin breathless man. that fill tho!!!

You can really see he has such a great passion for drums :). That's what makes anyone an amazing drummer

Love this version so much

aaaaaahhhh this cover is so sick!!! Bravo kind sir!

i love and enjoy every second of your playing love it love it love it

one word to Cobus............. awesomeness!!!

WTF..! This great cover make this song greater! I watched this cover more & over..
