The Michael Jackson Tribute mini-series is me paying my respects to one of the most influential musicians to ever have lived. I absolutely LOVED jamming along to these song by MJ, the grooves are an incredible amount of fun to play :)
RIP MJ.
I have to emphasize, I know calling this a "cover" is wrong, seeing as I only PARTLY stayed true to the song's drums (or lack thereof), through the WHOLE song I play some variations of the beats, phrasing and fills, since 99% of what I play is improvised. Even though I have done my fair share of session and studio drumming, that has little to zero effect on these video's, I kind of see them as live performances. I'm NOT aiming to be accurate to the original drums, I'm just aiming to enjoy myself. And I thoroughly succeeded in doing that, might I add :)

2020 - and I still get inspired af
This is still one of the cleanest covers I’ve ever seen
He is still one of the best drummers I have ever seen
What good old days when watching this video again at 2020...
Quite possibly the most fun looking drum cover I've ever seen on CZcams
13 years has passed and this is still the best black or white drum cover ever. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is one of my favourite videos of yours. I love the song, and I think you have done an amazing job capturing the energy of the song, giving the song what it needs, and having fun with it as well. Great job, I love watching your videos. They inspire me so much, and your playing has inspired me a lot over the last few years!
whoa... :O the awesomeness is just too much :O
still amazing after 5ys.
After another 5ys, still amazing.
I seen this when i was in my early 20s, and i still come back to this video.
oh man his snare is tuned so perfectly, couple that with the equally perfectly timed rimshots over the snare sound from MJs track. what a pleasant THWACK sound!
I know this was posted in 2009, but I can't stop starig at the desktop computer on the desk behind him.

really impressive! such energy and just a really awesome cover
He was so young yet talented. You're a prodigy Cobus. Every video of yours reminds me how talent comes from sincerity and humility. I started playing the drums watching your videos despite learning two other instruments already. No regrets. It's cross contributed into spicing up my playing with other instruments.
My favorite MJ song...I love it!!!
Great druming man. Your covers are one of the best in the whole YOU TUBE. Keep it up. You rock!
This is the most amazing drum cover i have ever watched. I love this song and you are absolutely amazing i have been watching this video sense 2009 and i have watched it just about every day because i am a drummer as well. Thank you for this video it always puts a smile on my face :-)

Outstanding job. Michael will be greatly missed.
your videos are real art! I like watching you playing, awesome!!! You're a real beast on drums! And what's also important is that you really enjoy what you're doing! I've seen drummers that play well but they don't have your energy and your passion! You're fantastic!
