Cobus - Michael Jackson - Billie Jean (Drum Cover)

[StiansNorskeNyheter]

you overplay it, sound terrible man..

[91mrdrummer]

What kind of hats are you using?

[dzsebenojon]

Clockwork precise drumming!

[oOMagoooogaMOo]

Awesome drummer, Im just glad he didnt make it one big solo and show off. He respected the song and kept it simple

[itsprincessanastasia]

I LOVE YOUUUUUU <3

[DangersTeez]

Overplaying when you play like this you can overplay all you want this is a great video Cobus.

[bigswagish]

a mane i think you might need sum new hats or yu might have had them close to hard

[elvrag]

for all the ''overplaying calling noobs'' hes just jamming to the song and enjoying himself before posting idiotic-jaelous comments about overplaying, read the discription first,

i like to watch this and hear some awsome drums in the song, coz i think it rox and i dont

care about overplaying when im just seeing someone improvising and enjoying to put his own

fills in it

[StiansNorskeNyheter]

you overplayed it, too much stuff man.. your not the star, michael jackson is..

nice drumming, but your over doing it man......

[candjsmom1]

Be careful when you play this song. I feel you overplayed it. But that's just my opinion.

[mizjorgieo07]

I was so danceing with my ass to every beat ♥ aaammmmazing dude ^_^

[HelgeTaksdal]

A bit flamming on the first beats of this song, but man do you pick yourself up on the tightness of the song.

[Taylor14Zeck]

Thats really really cool :)

[metaldudebuff92]

i just covered this on my drums, check it out please!

[tragaragara]

Who's Jonathan Moffet? :P

[mj4ever211]

@tragaragara Jonathan Moffet is michael jackson's drummer for this is it.

[MetalTampon]

Two snares, nice!

[Gio950209]

excelente, un gran tema y una ejecución perfecta

[somerandomguy143]

Batman wears a cobus t-shirt

[Therysinx]

@somerandomguy143 lol its cool how you stole that comment from another video. Think up your own stuff.

[somerandomguy143]

@Therysinx how many times have you said that to someone who says 46 people are justin bieber fans, or how the dislike bar looks like a light saber use that line on someone else, and not me

[Therysinx]

@somerandomguy143 Actually, you're the first person... hope your happy :)

[Therysinx]

@somerandomguy143 And, its a line from the top of my head. You said it like if I stole the line or something lol. I made it up.

[somerandomguy143]

@Therysinx nah just saying back off, i will say what i want to say, when i want to say it, and how i wanna say it.

[Therysinx]

@somerandomguy143 good job.

[somerandomguy143]

@Therysinx for what?



[marcusbolado]

Vic Firth? =))

[CuriousDenali]

Damn his groove face is sexy.

[ziglee]

You should get a china!

[MCPlayer9]

The top comment is GAY!

[jodiontube]

I vote Batman should be wearing a Cobus shirt!!

[TheTitaniumFlame]

This is really good, im jelous of how good you are, you are perfectly in time the entire thing, and what i love the most is your stick velocity, i wanna know where you learned to drum! or are you just a prodigy

[Entertaimenttt]

its nice but how can we know if this is not fake ?... its not negative what i'm saying but i just want to know ;d

[JimijaymesGuitarist]

@Entertaimenttt Cos its cobus he is a great drummer and does heaps of live shows as well as tuition videos

[wonderwaffledg3jz]

he's better then vodka

[clansir3]

hahahaha he's not just drummin' he's dancin' too XDDDD

[jables183]

filmed in the style of the music video for this song too. makes it that much more amazing to watch :D

[kilkot]

wow, he's like the vokalist missband.

[xxxjoselxxx]

M.J. : "AUUUUUUUUU!!!"

[PatriotsOWNU]

it sucks Beat It got taken down :(

[13Psycho13]

everyone says he is a good drummer, which is true.

but a characteristic of a drummer is to retain a certain beat and dont go off beat.

maybe this guy just cant play like that and compensate with awesome drumming?

just a thought

[wallywojo]

@13Psycho13 When in the video does he lose time? When he does his accents notice how most of the time he is still coming back to the snare on the 2 or the few times his skips it he is back on the 1 with the hi-hat

[unkillua]

僕ギターなんですが、見ていて楽しいです！がんばってください！­

[TYMCGOUGH]

Who knows what Laus Deo Semper means?

[edibleunicorns13]

@TYMCGOUGH "Praise always to God."

[ClaytonBasi]

[2323origami]

[pugs321]

[vinniecreg]

[bkdrums68]

Hey Man, I really enjoyed listening and watching you play this song! The pocket was never lost... yet you injected all of the feel and nuances you were feeling at the time. Great job! This is one of my favorite grooves because it is THE groove.

[DrummerDudeCal]

Amazing dude, what sort of headphones do you use because my set are not very good and im thinking of getting some more

[francky101]

[adfgame]

Michael Jackson is dead but is in your DRUM !

[adfgame]

Good cover :D

[gondomaresg]

Good morning, I'm doing a cover of Billie Jean and I need your drum cover, can you send me?

[zurudu]

would it be possible to send me the MP3 of this song without drums peace from belgium

[tostierik]

If Cobus played in the real song it would have been sold twice as many

[RandomHiMfan]

I still think, after all this time Cobus. This is the best youve ever sounded. Cause this epic groove + your epic skill = melting my mind. I do think youve grown as a drummer sinse this but its just somthing about this that cant be topped:P

[hash2all]

Oh crap, I wasnt serious...

[hash2all]

No top comment? IM GAY!

[BiggestAssKisser]

@hash2all One guy disliked your comment...He's gay too.

[MrUnicycleguy]

Another case of making the simplest beat ever sound epic

[rezarezzi]

Awesome ! \m/

[nikemac84]

Good, smooth, and solid bassline....just as MJ wrote it>>>

Do you have a favorite drummer? Just wondering...

[TheMisterKoch]

[Barbara38418]

BRAVISSIMOOOO

[YoMama8254]

111 people didnt smell the sweet perfume

[GoLDraG0N]

I think that this should be the original beat, not the one by MJ. fk what other people say~ lol hf commenting on this. I will not respond if its some dumbass insulting me x3

[TheHelionite]

RIP michael jackson, but your legend lives on

[detarso73]

i do that but you are a beats guy

[ckdrl594]

My respect to you sir.

[penkakemassacred]

like if you started to sing along!!!;D

[loakiemusic]

Excuse me - pukes - way to flam your way through one of the tightest tunes ever recorded. Man, just don't touch this stuff until your ready - this groove is like a sacred ritual.

[BassPlayer7260]

@loakiemusic Wow, so are you like the safekeeper of all of MJ's music? Props to you dude, I'm sure you have accomplished so much in your life...Congrats bro.

[TobyJackson]

@BassPlayer7260 Well sir, as a drummer and student of popular music, I am intensely aware of the fact that this is one of the most immaculately recorded tracks in history, and a defining drumset performance. I've lived and breathed this track for years, playing it every day for months at a time, performing it to live to packed rooms of wall-to-wall sweaty people. And enough with the attitude, y'know - not everyone's special. I believe in good music, and I'm going to defend it - this was crap!

[BassPlayer7260]

@TobyJackson Was I talking to you? No, but thanks for giving input when nobody cares. And btw this song is not a "defining drumset performance"..it repeats the same beat over and over and over. I am also a drummer and I love this song. Well, sir, do us all a favor and shut your mouth.

[Doodlebugyro]

@BassPlayer7260 Am i right in thinking the original beet was actually a drum machine?

[BassPlayer7260]

@Doodlebugyro Thank you!

[EquestriaDJ]

@TobyJackson Not that I'm taking sides, but music stops being enjoyable when it becomes rigid and stale. The thing about music that I love the most is that everyone plays it just a bit differently. The way I see things, this person just wanted to upload their interpretation of the song. It's still Billie Jean, it's just a bit more upbeat than the original recording.

[blendistars]

@EquestriaDJ its at the same tempo just more hits in the gaps between bars



[mushu144]

@BassPlayer7260 wow. an immature comment. Attacking a person is not really the way to go. Shows how weak your argument is.

[MJisLegend2009]

Superb Mr. Cobus! 100% Amazing Talent!

[StiansNorskeNyheter]

tooo much splashes

[tripletbeat]

this is the only time i've ever listened to a full micheal jackson song lol!

[MsBrighteyes101]

can i jus say ur frigging amazing and i swear i love you.....

[TheTechGameProject]

great job man!

[JackSpeweike]

it sounds like he's saying cobus dance on the floor

[TooFunkyDude]

And I thought that this was the easiest song on drums ever...

Guess not... Anymore...

[studiolems]

your the man dam you can play.

[079MISSNIKKI]

110 people don't have talent thumbs up ;D

[Gabriel76ist]

That's BEAST!

[Thegingerbreadman227]

MJ was good enough by himself,.....but cobus makes him 10 times better.

[antoniohm81]

batman should be wearing a cobus t shirt.

[clev9980]

109 people are idiots and don't know what a good drummer is.

[upforall68]

just fugging awesome....beautiful job...

[Urgirlsyn]

he's really good i bet my brother can't do that and he's a drumer.

[tyler172588]

cobus how old where you when you made this?

[PS3fanboyclaycdc]

dude, teach me

[damdas1232]

Finally VEVO unlocked this masterpiece:D



[Greenslime300]

Your stick control amazes me...soooo much.

[ThaAivd]

In Soviet Russia drums rapes Cobus

[elber449]

[BrandonPartin1]

The freaking Intro with Michael Jackson moonwalking was Freaking Awesome.

[msboys1000]

good job.



[NOWAYOUT688]

RIP MJ

[TheJamboSambo]

he's putting in beats that are not meant to be there. we get it your good. just dont fuck up the song to prove you can drum. also if you do another unnecessary drum stick flip thing i will slap your granny.

[chuckykill88]

@TheJamboSambo stop hating. maybe he likes to have fun with music cant he?

[michaelpack1988]

@TheJamboSambo its a cover, make it sound like your own, if you wanted to hear the original than go hear it then

[TheJamboSambo]

@michaelpack1988 Yeah but just take that little symbal for example. he bought it and was like 'fuck why did i buy that'...now he's just throwin it in there just for the sake of it...just to get some use out of it...cos it sounds ridiculously shit.

[michaelpack1988]

@TheJamboSambo na, just sounds different



[1SquidBoy]

@TheJamboSambo read the description

[MrFaulconbridge]

@TheJamboSambo If you want the original then go listen to the original. I love what cobus did with the song.

[DirtyMindedBiatch]

@TheJamboSambo I smell a Haterrrr...

[susangre756]

exelente asi lo hubiera tocado yo jeje

[crazymeersjesinds199]

I like it. not to much sound nor too little

[SovietUnity]

That was so PRO

[CombatArmsArcticWolf]

...ownage



[Eixyl]

Bell x 1

[martellodirondello]

really good...i think that your personal interpretation of billie jean is the best...

[ballp010]

107 people r deaf!!! this shit was sick!!! keep posting

[akirayamakazie]

The mark of a really good drummer, is having the ability to bust into really cool fills and different licks, while having the control to save them for the right time. You did a really good job on this song, very cool and different, but still very controlled. Keep it up man! :]

[TheDoubleKids]

TRX Cymbals!!

[Loveismamssg27x]

Look,you guys shouldn't harass this guy...I know his capabilities because I have been offered over 10 dancing contracts in just 2 years and this guy kept the rhythm as well as improv,good snare,cymbal rhythm and connectivity through all the styles he played through...I say he's good and if I can dance to it,it's perfect to me and no arguments are to be made because I won't answer back :) with love-Eli

[menteycorazon1009]

Me encantoo como tocaaa! <3

[emmetkowler]

I really enjoy his style, but I feel like there's a reason the drums on Michael Jackson tunes are simple: the songs themselves aren't very complicated, and when you put a complicated drum beat on top of a simple song it draws a little too much attention, in my humble opinion. However, Cobus, I applaud you: you're supremely talented!

[TheYamaha128]

MJ would hire you as his Drummer if he were still alive

[MrAsdaasdaasdaasdaas]

Vice City !!!!! : D

[TheBEATLESMania100]

@MrAsdaasdaasdaasdaas Haha nice GTA Vice City Reference

[kurt2890]

He fucked this song up, the beauty of the drums by Ndugu Chancler is that he kept the same groove simple, no fills, no nuances, always in the pocket, all the things Cobus did were unnecessary

[gosengo124]

@kurt2890 That was back in the day that Michael was the main attraction. In this video, Cobus is the main attraction.

[kurt2890]

@gosengo124 nah, drummers must know how to keep a groove

[gosengo124]

@kurt2890 Nah, you just know nothing about drums.

[kurt2890]

@gosengo124 being drumming and studying for 6 years, what do YOU know?

[gosengo124]

@kurt2890 Proof?

[skorne21]

@kurt2890 ya dude he does keep a groove...did you not watch the video?...he keeps the groove beat rhythm and does improvisation that most drummers wouldn't do...stop watching his videos if you can't enjoy them without bitching like a douchebag.

[kurt2890]

@skorne21 no, by groove I mean GROOVE, no fills, keeping it simple, there are like 3 drummers worldwide that are able to do that

[drummerboy5291995]

@kurt2890 i have to agree with gosengo, if you're playing for a singer then yes, keep it simple and just hold the groove, but this is a different thing, he's playing to show his drumming skills, not to show how well he can keep a beat.

[xRONDAVEx]

@drummerboy5291995 I don't see how he has created so much hype. a friend had me check out these videos and i have to say im not impressed. not saying he's a bad drummer but nothing incredible.

[somerandomguy143]

@kurt2890 beauty of a cover is you can do it how you want, apparently you have knowledge of drums, so i wont knock your know how or opinions.. cobus is a great drummer as is chancler, different styles i would say.

[yisoonshin12]

I like the moonwalk revealing the title and stuff

[mrronan111111]

i played billie jean at my first recital lol

[1337aznpro]

far out nice work man

[claudiominou]

Michael Jackson should cover Cobus

[cddrummer97]

[g4zhEth0e]

@claudiominou he´s dead now :]



[anibalserenelli]

@claudiominou Jjajajjajajajaj 

[DylanTheDrummer94]

@claudiominou Hes dead

[cddrummer97]

@claudiominou yeah, about that.....

[ihaveastick1]

@claudiominou I'm sure he would if he wasn't..you know...dead?

[Mekko15]

Reminds me of Josh Hartnett for some reason haha.

[thestreetwalker100]

Your a legend

[011jeen]

my fave man. keep doing your thing

[BroTorch1]

I can't figure out the fill at 1:55 :/ its too awesome

[iangehringer]

@BroTorch1 And yet it sounds so simple to just listen to then play on the kit:/

[shaunithesheep]

I can play this :) and this was posted on my birthday :-) lmao

[yash704]

[xhale89]
