This is a drum cover of Hillsong United's song, Take It All.
As with the Planetshakers song, I was really scared of doing a praise+worship song as a "cover" since I find it pretty darn weird jamming and improvising (and especially "entertaining"..) with a song intended to give glory to God. A lot of people have been asking about a few p+w songs, so I decided the only way I could record it was if I in fact really DID praise and worship God while playing this, so I got really into it :) Because of that, this is a really personal performance, and so i'm a bit scared of uploading it because of it being a lot more personal than just another song.
Laus Deo Semper.
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 :)

82 people never serving for God in any ways... He is so blessing talented and this talent is a gift from God. Halelujah..
That moment when I saw " Take It All Drum Cover by Cobus !!! " and when i saw you singing at 0:52 !!!!!!!!!!!!Man i would love if you make more Drum Cover of Christian Songs ....
I do the same thing while playing Skillet Monster.
Hello sir! One of my past-students told me about you. Love your energy! I think it's awesome that you are praising the Lord as well. Keep it up! Great stuff, and your audience/fan base certainly speaks to that.
I do encourage you to re-examine your hand technique though. You are playing with what I would tell my students is a "reverse fulcrum", where the fulcrum/pivot point of the stick is misplaced from the top of the hand down to the lower portion of the palm. Your pivoting on a junction you create by squeezing your pinky onto the underside of the stick shaft, thus locking the stick into a pivot point created between your pinky-the stick-and the edge of your palm underneath the stick. The correct (or traditional, I suppose; all of this is subjective of course) fulcrum should be created at the point between the thumb and the index finger. This is where the stick will operate with the greatest efficiency and ease of effort.
As a result, it appears that you are having to use far too much energy in your forearms to create the inertia needed move the sticks in proper timing (this is particularly evident in your tom/fill moments. This is then, in turn, creating issues with you acheiving the full dynamic range that I believe you aspire for. I fear that as your musical tastes/career goals evovle, your current fulcrum point and hand technique will limit your possibilities as a drummer/musician, and minimize the skope of genres/bands that you will be able to play in the same environment with. (Jazz, bop, hi-hop, etc...)
The same held true for Neal Peart. He had the same "reverse fulcrum" going on in his early years. Even though, like yourself, he was a KILLER drummer and held supreme creativity, his reverse-fulcrum (as I call it) was greatly affecting his finesse and agility. He didn't notice this as even being an issue until his later years, when his body just couldn't physically work as it once did in his youth. At which point he had to totally revamp his stroke/hand-technique. He talked about this in an interview I saw once. I believe the revamp happened around age 40 for him, though I'm not sure.
Anyway, this is an observation I had that I just wanted to share with you. Its very common nowadays. I believe the reverse fulcrum helps intiially to "cushion the blow" and vibrations caused from shafting the sticks agains the hi-hat. I think drummers just kind of naturally gravitate to that reverse fulcrum as a result.
Anyway, just wanted to share! I want to see you drumming with this vigor well into your later years sir!
Blessings sir!
Shut up dan
That's crazy! I found you on drumeo and now find out you play for Jesus too?! You da bomb
of course he is. He is da man
I love his fluid movements when he drums. its just absolutely amazing!
I love his face expressions when he hits the drums. Great job
Cobus as a drummer I want to be a professional with all my heart. I'll do whatever it takes and you Inspired me to play for God more than the world and I want to say the reason why God gave you this talent is so you can reach people for Christ! Whether you know it or not I feel convicted and changed I feel like God want's me to use the little talent I have now in faith and he'll give me the desires of my heart which is to become a professional drummer! Thanks Cobus and God Bless!
God must be proud of you :)
True True TRUE!!
Yeah!!!
As much as I enjoy the side conversation about the theological position of Cobus. I feel I must say that this is the best I've ever heard somebody play this drum part. Sweet job.
Nós, adoradores brasileiros, amamos essa música!
We, worship brasilians, love that praise!
GLORY TO GOD FOREVER !!!!!
As an atheist, I respect his talent. His drum covers are the best I've seen.
The first Drumcover what I see from you Bro 7years ago. I love it
watching this video for more than 10x in a day is not enough..
I praise God for giving talent to those who are deserving and using it to glorify Him.

Que buen TUTORIAL
im not a fan..but this song is my favorite...Cobus is awesome! Im glad to see a talented person like him play for Jesus......My son is taking drum lesson, I encourage him to be like Cobus and one day would love to see him play this particular song.....More power to you Cobus....God bless!
This was the first video that I saw of you playing drums. Really inspiring. Been following since even before this video as well. You're really good.
wow, i respect you who ever you are, i've never seen an athiest that doesn't put someone down or hate them for there beliefs, thank you!
I like the part where you play drums
I can't believe it's been 10 years since I first started following you. And this was probably the one video that took my admiration for you as a person and as a drummer to another level. It's rare to see people praise God so openly and passionately without being in other people's faces and shoving religion down their throats. I have so much respect for you in all you do. I really hope to meet you in person one day, as I live down in San Diego, not too far from you. And it would amazing if you did more praise/worship songs. Specifically, Hosanna. I love Hillsong United. God bless you, Cobus.
Wow. Is cobus a Christian? Amazing wish he would do more of these.
Sam Daliya
He is
I'm not even a drummer and I come back to the video periodically to just see your passion and praise. Hope everything is going well for you Cobus
sooo great
glory to our God
Dude you have a gift... Your drumming can really move people in a passionate way. God bless!!!
God bless you!!!
dude, i play this song almost every week when my youth group meets together for adooration. i love playing this song and feel like i get into it when i play but watching you play it just blew my mind. great job cobus!!
hillsong again please..
it's awesome to see the drummer actually get into the song
The time has come by hillsong please......
You know Cobus, you're so blessed with a lot of talent!.. Don't forget the one who gave it all.. God bless you!!!
Make More Video CObus.
Drum Cover for Christian Songs.
:D
glad to see a such a talented person doing good work for the lord
are you christian??
yes he is
haha thanks a day today already knew
I have to say this is one of my favorite p+w songs to play! I wish our youth group had that kind of drumset!
이건 레전드야
I appreciate that! I have plenty of Christian friends who are just friendly and loving. In fact, I'm married to a Christian. And I reciprocate the friendship and love to other Christians, especially ones I don't know. And I'll always recognize talent when I see it. And Cobus has it in spades!
nice u are worshiping God :)
All music has a spirit. You really bring out the Spirit in the music you play. What a gift! Thanks for sharing and may you grow more in His grace.
Oh my goodness. Imagine how much his symbols have eaten away at his sticks.
This is the most passionate drum video from Cobus that I've seen. Clearly it's pure worship.
are you a christian cobus ?
+dave dovin navarrete Yes he is those words in his description says Laus Deo Semper in english it means Praise God Forever or something like that
To follow JESUS is the best thing you can do.
after so many years, i listen to this again..man, this still got a "different vibe"...idk how to say it but i think you know what i mean..God bless you Cobus~
*하 너무잘쳐..따라할수있게좀 만들지ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ*
Wath
Dude you are awesome! I've played for 4 different worship bands and multiple weekend retreats and all-nighters for churches and I've never heard or seen it taken to this level! Keep it up brother, I look forward to seeing you in heaven and hopefully you can teach me how to play like this!
@DVShine he is obviously christian. not only does it say in the description but look the smile on his face when he plays and all the fun hes having. if i wasnt christian and i played a christian song, i wouldnt be liek that
all who dslike this is not a christian and they are insicure because cobus has a lot of talent from god above,,,,,i'm a drumer also but not as good as cobus and i wish 2 have that kind of drum set keep praising him brod,,,,i'm youre number one fan glory 2 god
I'm a beginner drummer for my church and this has really inspired me! This is awesome.
hey man.. i just wanted to say thank you for uploading this video... you really have a God given talent and i hope you will always be able to use that talent for his glory...
This cover totally changed my perspective on drumming!! I always come back to this video when I am bored.
I just started drumming for my youth group this past wednesday. :) I was on piano, but recently our drum player moved and we've been in need of a drummer. I stepped up. I'm hoping that I can one day be as good as you. Thanks for being an inspiration to me!!! ♥
-Hannah
aaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!! praise god he has gave you this talent!!!!!! stick with god and god bless you
its always so awesome seeing people using their gifts to praise Him. =)
Wow!! I'm astonished Cobus!!! And with this, you are proving to all of us that you got the gift, it's not talent only, you really got the gift of drumming for Our Lord Jesus, keep it going!! :D
owesome....
This song is very special for me... because the first time I listened this song, I decided to follow Jesus...
One of my all time favorite praise and worship songs. SO glad you did a drum cover to this. Rock hard. Worship hard. Peace.
I've watched this like 10 times now, so addicting
God gave u talent dude!!! u make jesus smile!
God loves u kid and he wants you to give him glory with the talent he gave u...
If you play for a church they are seriously blessed to have you....you have amazing talent keep gloryfying God through your playing. God bless =)
My respect for you just sky rocketed! I was not expect a christian cover at all, never mind you singing along to it! Christian love bud!
There is not nothing better then playing an instrument for the glory of God ...and in this case cobus does an exellent job
This song was the first song that i felt in you and still loving it
dude. u are awesome. this is my favorite worship song, and i drum it every other week at my youth. not nearly as friggin sick as that dude. keep at it, man
I still remember watching this in 2010 when i just started learning how to play the drums. Still love all your covers keep it up man. Your awesome!
I saw Hillsong United at a church conference in Washington State and they were AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every time I watch him play I want to practice non-stop for like 8 years.
OK, I'm not religious. To me, your beliefs don't affect my enjoyment of your videos. I may not agree with the message of this song but I come to this channel to see drumming, and it's amazing!
Hey Mann I love the feeling and Passion you play with. Give it all for Jesus Men !!!!
this was recorded at his church and if you read the description it says he is christian. also if you translate Laus Deo Semper. into english, it means Praise be to God. (Latin to English) hope that clears things up :)
@lildrummerboii77 well drumming is just drumming. yes, he records it all at his church, and yes he believes in god, but it doesn't necessarily mean that he plays drums exclusively for god. i play drums, i don't do it for god, i just do it because i like it. but i'm NOT comparing myself to Cobus, he IS a legend. and i LOVE this song, and he makes it even better, which is just crazy.
you make JESUS smile bro!!!! keep it up!!!
learning that my favorite drummer was christian just made my dayXP
one of my favorite hillsong united songs! and as a fellow drummer I give you mad props! Awsome Job!
WOW, i have to say, its really nice seeing you play that song there arent many people willing to dedicate what they do to god. keep up the AWESOME work!
Lol I remember playing this song when I was 13 as a drummer in the Music Ministry. You definitely touched my childhood. Keep on going man. GodBless
I dont think Hillsong could handle Cobus lol....Good stuff man. NO doubt God has given you crazy natural gifts.
you truely have a gift for drumming.
yo guys!!! especially believeandtrustjesus... dude... hes just playing those worldly songs cuz they have awesome rythm! in his DVD he said that he was a big fan of God and Jesus and that he loved Jesus so much!!! he plays in his church too ya know....
Oh my god, thats great! Havn't heard such a good version of this song before..
so many fills so smooth man i got to practice i wish i could play that good for my youth
It really is such a blessing the talent God has given you. Rock on man!
Im pretty sure it's three hand strokes followed by two bass strokes in a triplet time with a one note gap between each tom. He taught it in a video on the cobus method. hope that helps.
I love it! PTL! i like the way u play it; super expressive n super devoted! That's what a passionate drummer is! Keep it on!!
@BelieveandtrustJesus yo dude.... u he so does live for God and shows his love for him by praising and worshiping him in his church by drumming!!! u or i or anyone else shudnt judge people.... he totally does not turn his back on God....
I am a long time subscriber of your youtube videos and here we are the christian youths of Jesus Christ Gospel Church in the philippines knocking in your door to help us with our struggle having a good drum set and cymbals because our drums are almost 15 years old and since then it still not changed because of some financial difficulties of our church we wish and know that you can be the right person we can have to help us in any kind to make the music team and the youths to become more inspired in playing the instrument for the Lord our God.
We hope that you could consider my message to you. And i am a very big Fan of your drum skills and videos. Thank you so much and may God bless you
Of course! I think it's important, as a human being, to respect each other. To transcend above disagreements and views. As long as we're not harming each other or denying each other our rights; to live and love.
hey dude i am also a thriving musician i just cant afford the equipment needed to post videos i have been playing drums for 11 years and its been amazing its awesome to see the things you have accomplished and i think you should do more christian artists covers.
I will never forget this video. God bless you and your heart!
perfect timing, notes is all clear... you're good bro keep it up for the glory of our great God
Wow.... man, your drumming is an inspiration and a blessing. I'm a drummer myself and you're a great role model!
Dude awesome cover by an AWESOME worship group! More Hillsong please!!!
the double bass just adds that little more awesome to it :)
..wow dude..youre so amazing..you put spirit and love in your drums..awesome..
cobus is the best drummer!
TAKE IT ALL!
Hi Cobus,You're probably never going to read this but you have inspired me to play drums. I started playing when i was 12 and now im 15. This drum cover is the first drum cover i saw from you and ever since i've watched every single one of your drum covers. I subscribed to Cobus Method which i found so helpful and inspiring. I think i can speak for everyone that you are amazing person and drummer I wish you the best of luck with your career. I also hope you post more chirstian drum covers. :)
That's a talent granted to you by God... Put it to good uses and bring 10 talents back to Him. I wish I could drum as well as you. I'm the church drummer, but most of the time I don't even play loud enough, let alone well enough. God bless you even more.
P.S. I like your setup. Acoustic with electric. Nice.
Dude mann wayy to goo! You play drums with a passion and i líke thatt bro, great video andd drum cover! Love it, keep praising god and god bless youu
Good job editing the two original versions of the song together haha hope you do include a new Hillsong cover in your next series. You've evolved and so have they so it'd be interesting to see you cover them again. Congrats on your success man, been following you for about 5-6 years now
