    This video is less than 6 mins but still took me 15 mins to watch because every 30 seconds I'd rewind the video and go "wait a minute what the hell did he do there?!?"

      :) Hey, just want to share. I just figured out that most part of the sticking of it is similar to that of Peanut Butter Jelly Time

    • @medicfrost465
      @medicfrost465 Před 5 lety

      that isnt hard...i randomly was practicing some fills and during that practice i learn that same fill...it consumes alot of energy and oxygen because of the rate and tempo u gotto follow...just cymbals, toms and snares with the kick for a bit...its not hard try it

  • @RevanXIII
    @RevanXIII Před 6 lety +5

    one thing that makes watching Cobus great is that you can really see him enjoying himself in what he does.

      He's a CZcams treasure. He's not just covering the songs. It's a full on performance every time and you can just see his passion and happiness for his craft every single video. That's why even though it's a mystery half the time when you may get a new upload, you grow to appreciate each and every work of art more and more.

    I watched the original music video by Back Street Boys and came to the conclusion, that they provide an excellent background for your drumming.

  • @julianchestersomera3774

    3:10 The most cleanest fill I've ever seen in my whole fckin life. Nice Cobus!

  • @CymbALcase
    @CymbALcase Před 6 lety +6

    You're such an inspiration. Seriously. Whenever I'm feeling frustrated or down about my playing, I just watch one of your videos and I'm instantly in a better mood!

  • @megaFAUCET
    @megaFAUCET Před 6 lety +3

    I love how smooth, clean, and effortless he's gotten over the years. If you go back and watch, like the Nexus Series, and then watch these recent videos, he's still always been a phenomenal drummer but like all musician over time he's just gotten even more precise and controlled. It's really cool to see an artist's progression when they were already incredible years ago

  • @randal_gibbons

    Is it wrong that I want this song to play on repeat and never end dude you are an amazing drummer people will say that a Drummer is not a musician but rather a timekeeper for the musicians I beg to differ the energy you bring to the table or in this case the drums is nothing short of amazing keep Jamming and you have another subscriber

    • @Blue-Mo0n
      @Blue-Mo0n Před 2 lety

  • @tbcreative562
    @tbcreative562 Před 3 lety

    I remember watching your videos like over a decade ago and you deadset inspired 11 year old me to start playing drums. So your videos hold a special place in my heart lol. So cool to see you're still killing and you've improved so much since the early days. You we're obviously still an animal back then but you're groove is far stronger now.
    Keep up the awesome work man.

      Brilliant lyrics. It's really touching to see an artist or a group creating a song that shows wonderfully in the lyrics how thankful they are to their fans.
      Who wrote it? Do you know if it was backstreet boys themselves that wrote it, or someone wrote it for them?
