SUCH A FUN SONGGGG.
I worked a ton on the primarily tom-based verse groove, to make sure that it built at the same pace as the song. Such an awesome feeling when it clicked!
I also deliberately decided to play as few fills as possible, I really wanted the strong rhythm to be the focus. There's one fun little chop at the end of the bridge, during the break right before the last chorus, though :) Can't wait to record some lessons for you guys and explain some of the drum parts in detail.

Thanks for being here!
Sup bruh im active🤘😎
Why no BFMV covers!?
Still my favorite in 2021 mostly 1:15 the fill awesome
Of course always watching this. Still after the long time
Do a drum cover of wasting time by afterlife, here’s the link: czcams.com/video/AEKyHDB150A/video.html
I love how people criticize Cobus for not being as "fast" as other drummers, as if that is the most important thing. He plays with musicality, trying to make the song better. Isn't that the most important thing?
Gabe Belden Indeed it is! Those complete idiots that thinks speed is all are nothing but brainless fucks with no idea about music at all and should shut the fuck up until they've realized what music is supposed to be!
Gabe Belden And really, who the hell needs speed when you have those tastey ass fills?!?! I'd much rather be able to groove and play linear fills like he can, rather than blast beat for 12 minutes
+Dominick Zipoli Yess.
+Gabe Belden indeed. coop3r ain't got nothing on Cobus
Gabe Belden this is much better than the COOPERDRUMMER
Watching in 2024 and ALWAYS come back to watch this video. That Acapella drum fill in the middle is like nothing I've ever heard. Never gets old.
I love seeing how Cobus has advanced through his years of playing. This new series he seems so much more relaxed and confident in his playing, he's not trying to jam in fills every 10 seconds, or making nonsensical rhythm patterns. He has learned the art of simplicity, unlike many other CZcams drummers, and I think it's just amazing.
The whole video is awesome but it's 3:06 - 3:09 that makes me re-watch this all the time.
Yeah, that was crazy!
nigga hell yea thats the best part
J Elemani same here!
J Elemani Yeeeeaaaaahhhhhhh man!! He's giving out the buisness right there
J Elemani
Alright, so I think I figured out how he does that fill...
(At first I thought it was sextuplets for some reason, but it's just 16th notes)
So, it goes like this (the spaces are not rests, it's just to make it clearer)
Kick-snare-snare-Kick snare-Tom-snare-snare snare-Kick-Kick-HiHat Stack-Kick-snare-Rest (together)Splash+Kick-Splash-snare-Kick snare-openHiHat-snare-snare snare-snare-Tom-Tom
Tom-Tom-Floortom-Floortom
And the sticking is...
KLRK RLRL RKKL RKL° RLRK RLRL RLRL RLRL
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong !
I just feel like Cobus plays more "professionally" and "fluently" in this series comparing to the past series. You realize he is really practicing seriously after he gets all those endorsements. He is not only jamming anymore, he is really practicing.
Tony Shing Siu Sze I've been noticing the exact same thing; it became much more apparent to me back in 2011 when he released his Fuego Series. This is not just because he had a (seemingly) more professional production staff. You could just tell that he was developing the mind of a "professional musician", it radiated from the way he played each cover. I have found it to be very difficult to nit-pick at his playing ever since. (I know your comment is over a year old so sorry for the random notification haha)
***** how do you pronounce that?
whoa! this has been a mystery for me ever since. thanks for answering :)
jjjjeplalalalalals
+Tony Shing Siu Sze I agree man. I just stumbled upon this guy and it looks like he's really felling the music which is what it's all about. Feel and emotion. And yea practice helps too haha
I love how Cobus can make a video/cover fun just by playing. Not by doing stick tricks 75% of all his videos or doing other things that take away from his actual playing.
Still the best drummer on CZcams!!
check out cooperdrummer
Eric Sernin Andrew Basinillo Cobus is better and funnier in my mind
Eric Sernin Andrew Basinillo "doing stick tricks 75% of all his videos or doing other things that take away from his actual playing."
Basically described cooperdrummer.
Cobus still is the best drummer in CZcams!!
João Amim
actually I think Luke Holland would be a way better example of that than cooper
Jennica Gray: not to be a hater and i like meytal, but she honestly isn't that great...
I swear. His control is technique is just so flawless man. Great job Cobus.
I meant control & technique.
What I love about this is not that it is technically impressive, although it is, but that it is so damned musical: He varies the dynamic, builds and releases tension, allows the song to breath. This is what makes Cobus not just a great drummer but a great musician.
if that fill was not technically impressive then i dont know what is. That fill was a mixture of everything a drummer should have, not just speed and how hard and how fast you hit your snares and toms.
I don't find this cover very musical. Very poor dynamics; the changes aren't subtle, most of the fills are inappropriate and only there to show skills. Go check Cooper's cover and you will see what being musical really is. And the first thing is, if you're covering a song, respect the song itself prior to showing all your technical abilities.
He makes everything looks so simple and as if he isn't even trying, that takes the skill of a true pro drummer, always used him as an influence and reference in my drumming and uni work..love how he's come from self taught to a guy who's known by every drummer I've met.. would truly love to meet him at some point in my career
Did you ever meet him?!
This guys drum covers inspired me... Hard to believe this was around 10 years ago... And 10 years later Im still watching! Keep it up Cobus!!
Cobus is definitely my favorite drummer on CZcams so far. He makes quality content and has a lot of talent. Moreover, he doesn't overdo things to the point of ridiculousness, such as COOP3RDRUMM3R. Cobus is unparalleled, from what I've seen, in quality of content for his type of videos (drum covers, reviews, etc.).
mintyfresh9080 "He doesn't overdo things.... ...such as cooper drummer." Did you even watch the video? He "overdid" things more than Cooper. (Still loved the video)
Mike Paul I'm talking about the playing drums with fire, the constant stick tricks, the slamming the drums, etc.
mintyfresh9080 Ah, I see what you mean. You see, usually in CZcams drummers, it's okay to be fancy and show off. All for entertainment.
Sure, and I respect that, but I favor more technical drummers who focus more on the groove and timing than things like stick spins and jumping around the kit.
mintyfresh9080 Okay, I see what you mean, I respect that too. Cobus cover was definitely better.
The only reason people like coopers version is because there is fire but this version is some much better.
This version is more complex and pretty good but cooper version is more fun in my opinion
I like the cross over part in coopers cover.
More fire in cobus's version imo
Cooper can’t drum at ALL. He doesn’t even play the correct drum parts. Cooper needs to Respect the drum parts that Mede the song famous and play them CORRECTLY
Isaac Oden what’s wrong about improvising lmfao
I love the way Cobus smiles at himself after playing a mind-blowing fill, as if to say "yup, I wrote that..."
Improvised*
Yeah, it's mind-blowing, I don't get it, how cobus can smile, while he's playing so difficult part.
Or he’s smiling because he’s in the moment, feeling the music and his own rhythm.
Oh my gosh that fill at 3:05 is so freaking sick
Hi Cobus, I am a 70 year old pensioner who enjoys your teaching method very much. I played drums in a band many years ago but due to unforeseen circumstances, had to give it up. I have now been on pension for a few years and have been feeling rather bored with myself until I saw your program on U Tube. You have rekindled that musical spirit in me and I feel the urge to play again.using your method of instructions..Although not so easy, I find it fantastically exhilarating and enlightening. I now play drums in our local Church band and am having a great time making a noise for the Lord. I am in the process of building a drum kit for the Church and having a great time doing it. Thank you for reviving that old drumming spirit in me again. I really feel rejuvenated with a new zest for life. Like Bob Dillen's old song, "THERE ARE GOING TO BE SOME CHANGES HERE ". Good luck in your future venture things are definitely looking up for you. God bless you.

Out of all the "burn" covers I feel like this one is the best and most technically challenging. Love Cobus!
well personally i feel like the burn cover by Brandon Burkhalter is more technically challenging and i enjoyed it better but like HEY (to all the people prone to starting comment wars) i just wanted to get my opinion out there im new to all this drumming stuff so sorry if im wrong😂 no hate to this guy hes awesome too
Brandon's was amazing!
Sean Bancod
Brandon had some wicked chops, definitely! And the fact that he did a lot more of those is why it's more challenging, so I see what you're saying. I do have to say that Cobus didn't lack that kind of technicality either. He just did less. As you can see, 2:35-2:46 and 3:06 - 3:09 aren't that simple. You'll also be surprised by how hard the intro ride and hi-hat pattern is. Anyway, in my opinion, I feel like Cobus' take on it was a bit more mature, well-rounded, and musical. Brandon is a hella advanced with all the fills but it felt kinda redundant after a while. Please don't get me wrong! Both were great but for me, Cobus got it in the bag. =)
The best is Cooper's cover. It adds up something to the song while fully respecting it and enhances the original dynamics. Cobus's cover and Brandon's are more challenging technically but not nearly as good in terms of musicality. Cobus's changes in dynamics are poor and his fills are inappropriate (though very impressive) and Brandon reversed the song's dynamics by filling the extremely precious pause when the line "you gotta let it..." hits just before the chorus, and also replacing the step-by-step raise in volume by a continuous crescendo throughout the song which is very confusing as the song has a pop structure with verses, bridges and choruses.
So yes this is technically challenging, but clearly not the best in my opinion.
I’m back 9 years later just to hear the fill from 3.06-3.10. Unreal.
I remember seeing this guys videos years ago. He really is a drummer at heart. He's so damn musical when he plays its ridiculous!!!
Are you kidding me? I hope everyone appreciates how amazing it is what Cobus does with these. He hears things and drum parts that just don't seem possible and then makes them seem like they belonged the entire time. Not to mention the production values are superb. Like many things, there's nothing like the original. Hats off!
Congratulations Cobus! You're simply the best that I've ever seen.
I love this song :´)
Vx?
Hi?
I lo
Been watching Cobus for about 5 years and he's STILL one the best drummers I've ever seen.
I love the way Cobus looks so relaxed and fluent while playing, it makes him look a lot more professional, and is the perfect example of a great drummer, not only can he add some great fills and rudiments in to this song but he can keep time, and not go too over the top in the main beat.
GREAT JOB!
You can just see the passion on his face when he plays, it's crazy. You can tell he loves it.
This dude isnt just a drummer, hes a musician, it was like singing but with drums, it was awesome
I've been playing drums for years and I always come back to this particular video for that epic fill at 3:06
Man even after all these years it never fails to mesmerize me!
The feeling this dude has is out of this world!!
A true musician!
The thing that impresses me about 3:06 is not so much the fill but the sense of time. When given two full measures of open solo like that many drummers would be late crashing back into the groove but this guy has impeccable timing. The fill itself is great but at the same time nothing special. What makes it sound cool is the addition of cymbals and stacks in the fill and that is a matter of orchestration and this concept is by no means original. If he just went around the kit doing quads with the double bass or something equally generic no one would be talking about it but from a cold hard music theory standpoint it would be the same thing. A two measure solo. Don't get me wrong its a great fill; its well executed, tasteful, it fits the song, it doesn't throw him off of the groove, and it had the desired affect on the listener. I'm just saying that the fill isn't the most impressive thing from 3:06-3:09, its what happens just before and after that fill. Its what was actually getting us to leave a like and what got me to subscribe.
ik his timing is absolutely insane
You're absolutely right. Couldn't have said it better.
coming back after 7 years… 7 whole years since this came out, feels like a day ago. Very well put together comment and like the others, i couldnt have said it, nor could anyone have said it better.
Foot technique at 3:30 for those doubles still boggles my mind!! Insanity!
It's the heel-toe technique
Cobus!!! Don't stop man!! We love you and your covers!! Been watching you pretty much from the beginning and you always inspire me with everything you do!! Keep it up Cobus!!
7 years later and im still watching this, unreal
His dynamics on this song are immaculate. Well played, senor.
Cooper : just for show !
Cobus : SOUL !
i love the change of rhythm at the end. adds to a satisfying ending :p
I hate it.
The fact that you can go from an awesome drum fill to being really gentle with the symbols and get really soft and create a nice smooth crescendo really shows your talent and your patience, and in every video that you make I can really see your passion for what you are doing and you get really involved in the music, and that to me is really impressive and inspiring.
the passion they have fot theyre own lyrics and music is truly shown by the fact that theyre jamming and singing it as if they were playing for 10,000 people, but its really only them and the audio crew. Gotta love this duo!
The fill was fucking sick, but can we also talk about that tom ride before it too?!? God damn 🔥 You’re such a beast Cobus, sick drumming man.
❤
The most satisfying thing about this video is seeing that huge smile of yours! You're having the best time ever playing this and it makes me so happy!
So much passion, its so sexy! YOU ROCK COBUS
I've been watching Cobus since I was in 6th grade....I'm now in 11th grade and from the stretch I've learned sooooo much from Cobus it's crazy. Starting by just watch his covers them the Cobus Method, he revolutionized my way of approaching the drums. He inspired me to reach a level I never thought I'd reach. It's awesome to see how much Cobus has grown and how far he's come. He's truly an inspiration. My favorite drummer of all time. He's now inspired me to make my own covers.
the joy while playing
That fill at 3:06 was pretty sick.
aetommyboy Amen
+aetommyboy them fill tho, awesome.
+aetommyboy wish i could at least understand the sequence of notes he is playing
He locked in with this song
I love how you always pick the most unique songs to do drum covers, and it’s hard to imagine the song without your take on it now.
Here in CZcams I've seen a lot of drummers doing covers, and none of them possess this level of technique and skill. You feel the music, your fills are always in the right place and time. Congrats!
Dude I think you are one of the greatest drummers I have ever seen. You are freaking amazing and I also notice that you are a Christian like myself. The greatest
thing I could ever wish for would be to become a great drummer like you. I learned like you by playing by ear. I wish I could meet you one day. I would really like to discuss drumming techniques and maybe you could share some of your secrets as well for learning your techniques.
That OMNI chokes moment - epic. And the fill at 3:06 sounded familiar with the CZcams medley you did once :D Keep the thing coming, I'm a proud long term subscriber. You rock, mate. Drums 4 life
Truly a thing of beauty. The finesse, the timing, the fills, everything, just absolutely perfect. Truly a masterpiece, and I don't say that lightly. Thanks for this!!
His musical approach is perfect!! He's just having fun musically kicking ass on the drums!! Love the fills. Well placed.
jizzed at the fill at 3:07 !
It's nice how he "drummarize" songs that normally don't have all that drums in studio recording. Incredible how those sounds really fit to the music, in a public audience point of view, of course, making the piece very pleased to hear. Congrats, Cobus.
Just smiling watching this! So glad to have this series.
It was amazing the first time i saw this video, but now it's even more amazing.
It's really sick how great this video is, repeat mode is activated!
3:06-3:09 made me pause an look at the comments section to see how many people replayed
+Kaleb Anderson amazin
Slow it to .5 speed... it's not that hard... but sounds really good :)
and that smile always bring me joy man.
This cover has officially blown my mind!!! love every second of it!!
3:07 . That was SICK!!
The Solo At 3:06 is just Vomit Inducing, Great Cover As Always By Cobus.
Hopefully Rainbow-Vomit though :p
Love how you always save the extreme chaos for the last chorus. You continue to be a legendary drummer! I aspire to be half as good as you are one day
One of the best covers you have ever done. Keep up the great work. YOU ROCK.
3:06 Woot!
Wow! That fill at 3:06 is amazing!! Well done!!!
The perfection of what you did on this video really earned you a subscriber..
I love the way he plays, he has distinct dynamics and creativity
!!!!!!FOR EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO LEARN THAT MONSTER OF A FILL AT 3:06, I FIGURED OUT THE STICKING!!!!!
(C = crash, right hand plus kick)

If this is wrong, or correct, I'd love for you to let me know Cobus. This is easily my favorite cover you've done thus far.
how did you transcribe it ? I mean its pretty fast.
Ishan Dave youtube has a feature that allows you to speed up or slow down a video, so I just watched it slow like four times and I got it.
2:45!!!!!! LOVE HOW YOU WENT FROM SUPER HARD TO SOFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cobus this is a great cover man! I haven't seen a vid from you since you were still doing covers in a church and to see the growth you've made in your musicianship has been a pleasure to witness. Your understanding of hits, dynamics and just tasty fills have made this cover a great watch. Continue to work at your craft like you've been doing. Its great stuff!
this is probably my favourite cover ever! his setup is amazing
Sick as always!

WOW...SUPER CLEAN!!!!
Lucky to call this guy a friend. PERFECTION!
You're getting even better, Cobus! Always impressed. God has blessed you!
SMOKIN" HOT DUDE! just getting better every time. love the fills! top notch! I actually wasn't very fond of this song till now ;)
3:05 fill is the best fill ever for your drummer ear
Cobus started the drum cover scene whereas he inspired me to play more, doing drum covers with originality in chops and technique feels like flying when you hit that note on the spot, this guy is pure 100% AWESOME
I had this video on a playlist playing in the background while playing a game. Once I realized it, I said to myself "wait a minute, this is Cobus' cover". Good stuff
3:06 Loved that!
Cobus is Beautiful
My favourite drummer of all time. No energy wasted as always. The saying is true "Less is more" and also "Short and sweet". I knowing nothing about drumming accept the fact it sounds amazing and adrenaline rushing when it is played that good. Master of the craft Cobus. Nothing is wasted nor over done, every note and beat is picture perfect. Goat status Cobus.
Btw I have been watching this dude for years and i come back from time to time to watch all his master pieces. Probably my 30th time seeing this video 😅
Ps : Im high as sh$t writing this
Soooo soft and clean and awesome and whatever what sounds positive to you, you are just amazing cobus. In my opinion the best youtuber these times!!
The fill on 3:06 is fire
3:00 that fill in the gap owned the whole song....
Hated it.
Tolkirum do you want a hug bro
Simply just gets better the more I listen to it! Awesome! Heavenly talent!
This blows my mind every time I watch it, easily one of the best drum covers in the history of drum covers 🤙🏻
Hey man, would be awesome if you could do a tutorial of the tom groove at 2:35 and the 2 bar drum solo linear fill thing at 3:06 :D Thanks man and keep the covers coming :D
Around 3.5 years later and I'm still waiting for that drum fill tutorial. (3:06 - 3:09)
Me too 😭
look it up it was posted
Posted 3 year ago
I thought after Cobus's last series he could not possibly get any better... He clearly is after proving me wrong
how did he get so much better since the last series??? A couple years ago, you were so genius that I never would have guessed you could've gotten so much better!!!???!?!?!??!
2:34 was crazy
yes💣
Anyone else lose their shit at 2:39 ?
Every time! haha
3:06
mintyfresh9080
agreed that fill was clean and beautiful :)
I lose my shit at 3:06 ;)
🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
I never get bored watchin you man. You're amazing and my favorite CZcams drummer, but also in my top 5 favorite drummers ever. Well done mate.
This was some of the best drumming on youtube, A heavier yet not over powering version. show of musicality. AWSOME! AMAZING!. Love that song. Cobus keep up the good work.
Cobus, i can't watch The video!

You are so amazing Cobus.. i love the way how you drum !! my IDOL !
Holy shit this should be in the original song
2:34-2:46... I demand a tutorial. xD
I say the same, I can't see what he's doing XD
listen it quite few times, try to understand the rhythm, then apply it to the kit. depends of your skills on the drums :)
I think it's just R+L R L R B R+L B R L R B RL Repeat
Dat 3:07 doe... :D
***** with dubble single basses and cobus awesome ness and ghosting :) so red!
I remember seeing his cover "n sync pop" and that was the first I ever discovered cobus. I really appreciate and love his covers and as a musician myself I have to applaud the talent that is brought forth in all these videos. COBUS I know we've had our beefs lol and it was too long ago but I'm so happy to see you doing so well in life. Keep up the good work and keep them videos coming because you're an inspiration whether you realize it or not. God bless.
Lybbee
My favorite video from you, of all time! Great playing, Cobus!
