As a drummer that doesn't follow either of these guys, I can objectively say it's not even close between these two. Cobus has way better stick technique, wrist strength, and timing......which is most important. Not too mention he obviously has better chops and feel.

Jared Falk has been making videos WAY longer than these two, and with none of the arrogance.

This means a lot for us who grew up watching these two. This seems like a throwback to the good old 2000s' and 2010s' when we were still trying to learn drums while being absolutely awed by Cobus' and Cooper's covers. Cobus showed us the beast behind his incredibly methodological and versatile playing prowess and totally deserved the win, but Cooper put up a good show as well by keeping up and displaying his hard-hitting playing style! These two are incredibly amazing drummers, and I'd love to see them do more stuff together in the future.

You guys are amazing, 30 minutes of my life well spent. Thank you for your entertainment.

This was awesome! Must admit that I never knew of either of them they are both phenomenal drummers. So much fun watching this! Thanks!

What an absolute insane pair of drummers. While I am on team Cobus (Quibbius) as he was the guy who inspired me to play drums. Seeing a different style of drummers come together for a bit of fun and make possibly the funniest drumming video other than Mike Portnoy... Bravo. Quibbius has been unbelievably unlucky with the KZread algorithm, and I admit seeing Cooper rise on KZread while my hero didn't have the same stardom made me a bit biased. I wasn't a fan of Cooper. This changed my mind completely. While I wish Quibbius had the same Stardom as Cooper, fuck me Cooper is insane. They both deserve to be praised. If you're a fan of Quibbius then go support Cooper. If you're a fan of Cooper, go show Quibbius some love. I guarantee it'll be worth it. Both these guys are unbelievable.

I didn't even realize there was a competition, I just paused right before round 3 to give my opinion, And when Nick joined that was Goldust for me. Sorry im a month late, Don't care about the competition, all I said above still stands. Any drummer who has lost their inspiration has won this competition. Its reignited a spark for me, and if it lights a spark for anyone else, even one person. Then its a win.

Let’s be honest they put they hard work in this battle but I know everyone won because nobody is better than someone else. 🥁🥁 CONGRATULATIONS FOR BOTH OF THEM USING THERE TALENT TOGETHER LEARNING WHAT TO PRACTICE ON! 😀

Cobus won this without a doubt. Cobus has more musicality to his playing and his playing is really clean and on point. 😊

​Men, that's was, indeed, really fun! I didn't know Coopers, and he actually impressed me. But still I see Cobus as more versatile, faster and creative. Congrats for the event, I enjoyed a lot.

Loved this. One of the many reasons that Sweetwater rocks!

Best drum battle ever! Nick, Hollywood’s calling! Thanks Sweetwater!

I love how Nick D’Virgilio is the ring announcer, commentator, and ref at the same time!!!! I watched part of this on Facebook and it’s pretty funny!!! And that “LLLLLET’S GET READY TO DRUM ROOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!! And on top of that, he’s wearing a tux!!! As far as I’m concerned, Nick won this hands down!!!!

This was a decade in the making. I’m glad my personal favorite came out on top but it’s these kinda events that bring music to life and it’s truly inspiring. Great job Cobus and Cooper (biased but especially Cobus😉) and Mr. D’Virgilio ofc!! 💙

That was insane. Nice one for setting this one up, SW! Got nothing but respect for both of these wood-wielding wizards, BUT, our vote goes to Cobus on this one. What a legend! This was hella exciting, both won in different ways.

Ok but honestly... this video is so epic LOL... Saw this last week and I loved it so much. Couldn't stop smiling and laughing lol. Pls do more of these. So good!

Cooper is no slouch and I think he gets unfairly labeled as a showman with mediocre abilities, but yeah overall Cobus is more skilled. Nick is better than both of them though.

People need to realise that Cooper and Cobus have different posture and different technique. Cooper has longer arms and legs so his posture LOOKS like he's less technical, but that's far from the case. Cobus just "fits" better behind the kit and to everyone he seems cleaner than Casey. But the fact is, they're on a very very similar level and are both very gifted drummers. For this battle, my vote goes to Cobus by a hair!

This is definitely ma best drum video ever.... They contenders are just laughing and happy

I can’t chose who won, because both of them inspired me to start playing drums again many years ago. Well done, thank you both!

I think cobus has a larger range so I’d say he won

I was smiling and laughing through this, great job.

Dang! This is so satisfying to watch.

I backed Cobus ever since I heard about this, and after watching, I still fully believe he won this. That said, Cooper earned some of my respect - he did far better than I expected him to in all of this. Also, Nick killed it - drumming and otherwise! Thank you to everyone who put this on, truly fun to watch!

Casey was a lot cleaner and on time than I was expecting after watching his videos, he's a great drummer but he's usually more flash than precision so I have a new respect for him. Cobus was incredible as always so I really can't pick a winner! Great video and one of the most entertaining drum battles I have ever seen! Hats off to both of you!

both Amazing Drummers!! Good fun as well!!

Both Cooper and Cobus are both winners. They are such good players and role models to everyone. They inspire drummers all over the world to thrive and be the best they can. I was very impressed with both of their skills in this battle. They both deserve a WIN to me!!!

These are lucky guys, living the dream.

Realized I was saying “cobus” wrong 😂 but that isn’t as embarrassing as Cooper losing. Cobus will always slay all day. 🔥🔥🔥 #foreverfan #quibisswins

Regardless of the outcome here, which I'm sure this was all setup and scripted, Cobus is most definitely a more skilled player than Cooper. Not to belittle Coopers abilities in anyway. This is just my opinion, of course. They're both super talented, and have been a source of inspiration for me personally for many years. Awesome playing, bros. You never disappoint. 🤘🥁🤘
