But I could you make a video about DRUM FILLS? please.

Because I still have some trouble finding the 'perfect' fill in the songs I play

[tonyxxxchuc]

[survivingrabbit]

Cobus: Michael Jackson's official afterlife drummer.

[BAZYLBRUSH]

justin beiber now looks like......... wait you cant get any worse.

[ahrims221]

çobus ur a great drummer but this was not jamming to this song, this is a cover of alien ant farm's version

[LightYagamiVSL]

@ahrims221 No, this is Micheal Jackson singing it, and he was the original artist of the song.

[ahrims221]

@LightYagamiVSL i know dumbfuck, read my comment again, cobus made a cover of ALIEN ANT FARM'S VERSION. he wasnt jamming or improvising or whatever like he said on the description.

[flossy411]

@ahrims221 Calm down pal he wasn't having a go at you, he was just stating a fact. You over sensitive little prick

[ahrims221]

@flossy411 who said your name?? gtfo here

[Doodlebugyro]

@ahrims221 Just because you cant see people face to face when you type doesn't mean you need to say things you wouldnt say to their face... calm down ok?

[BlackestStar971]

Man You're AWESOME^^, can you do the Paramore song "Caught myself" and also the Placebo song "Running up that hill" please?

[softballonmymind]

[Chibibles]

[jackalhunt1]

@Chibibles Is he molesting a small child?

To soon?

[lovinkingmichael25]

@jackalhunt1 Your comment is invalid, considering Michael never molested anyone.

 Great drumming dude keep it up!

[ivansilvaa]

108 People Listen to wachiturro's

[SeverDownloads]

@ivansilvaa GOOD ONE BRO

[footballcrazyboy]

First thing my drum teacher ever taught me: Just because you play the drums loud doesn't mean you play well, not saying your bad but i think you should perhaps consider being a bit lighter on your snare and possibly high hat... That will then possibly improve the skills at work during the video...

Good job though :)

[Jadison78]

you guy really is a very cool musician to hear and admire, I hope the journey of learning, you keep it up, giving us good music and also learn to evaluate. A big hug and lots of music.

[cursemarked16]

I loooovvvveeee your drymming skills bro.

Could you do Leave Me Alone? :D

[MrMage95]

anybody that know what kind of snare that is ?

[epicfail86]

Who else thinks Cobus' freestyler drumming matches MJ's music?

[chardaubx13]

Dear God, please send back Michael Jackson, and we'll give you Justin Bieber.

[stinkyboi07]

@chardaubx13 I;d accept Freddie Mercury for Bieber? Maybe Rebecca Black and Bieber would pay for Michael Jackson?

[tupokmopol1]

@chardaubx13 hahaha bodybag



[RodrigoEdo14]

@chardaubx13 I think Justin Bieber doesn't have enough value to God to be changed for Michael Jackson...

[alczyn182]

@RodrigoEdo14 throw in Gaga and Rhianna too...perhaps all the contestants from the X-factor aswel. Fair deal then

[datniggatwotone]

@chardaubx13 and selena gomez

[bassdegroot]

@chardaubx13 not really fair trade.. no trade is fair enough to get MJ back.. fucking genious of music.

[MattCheyneOfficial]

what make are your cymbals?

[LukesDrumsOnline]

@MattCheyneOfficial They are all trx cymbals!

[unprofessionalvids]

this should get more views but people all over youtube are stealing it and posting it at their own channels

[15pianofreak]

Its amazing how much better and cleaner he looks when he gets a hair cut and wheres glasses

[packimann]

How would you vote this down?

[rezarezzi]

i think @zeldalove64 should play together with you @deedlebag !! \m/

[Thoughtgasm]

how have you done the lighting in this video? It's very different to the others.

[h0nestliar]

@Thoughtgasm He uses an old school over-head projector. The kind with the mirror on top. Very ingenious.

[AppleVest]

man if ur been the drummer of michael jackson... u 2 have been the best... but u know... beware of the rumor the #*@^*&

[67636763]

sugar foot played this no toms 16th notes on bass drum folow the bass line

and you will have it seen it live get it correct no bullshit

[IslandmanDahMarzian]

R.I.P. Michael but this man right here did your song some justice. On point man, two years old but still best drum cover i've seen thus far for one of my all time favorite songs. Props dude. Real props for real

[1543angel]

[HorrorMovieReviewGuy]

i think cobus has spawned a cool quote phenom like the whole chuck norris thing. its great seeing what people come up with lol

[isaacs117CooL]

Why is the other like button upside down?

[Poulmy]

@isaacs117CooL I don't know, ask the 112 people who tried it ;)

[BennehWennehDrumBoi]

i HATE this video, however i only like videos in which people fail.

[SCYMAS]

I was gonna make a drum cover of this, then i saw Cobus had a drum cover... so i gave up.

[kk22bbme]

[thenewTF]

Many things need more cowbell, this has the appropriate amount.

[SecondHandGarbage]

The open hihat sort of broke the tranquility of the song..

[batchooo]

I'm pretty sure Batman wears a Cobus tee shirt.

[PyroSPtG]

[Tron9222]

[drumdemons]

[SkillfulJam1]

anywone that disliked this can go fuck themselfs

[GuitarHerox83]

@SkillfulJam1 my sentiments exactly =P

[koorsz]

it's funny cause i watch a bunch of drum covers around youtube and they all lead me back to cobus somehow.. haha

[PaxInfinity]

I'm Batman.

[PrfectRoll]

I liked the part where he played the drums.

[GuitarHerox83]

@PrfectRoll inorite?

[FlowerRFabulous]

@PrfectRoll me too!!!!

[SubRosaSpear]

@PrfectRoll You, sir, made me LMAO.

[Ramonsoler]

@PrfectRoll TROL!

[R4ZRxScoPezZ]

@PrfectRoll That was my favorite part to.

[redtitan]

just the drums alone makes the alien ant farm version of this song look like child's play

[allchangesintime]

I love this

[wikyu1]

no, chris coleman is amazing or dennis chambers...

cobus have a clean game but not amazing for me...

[samyevz]

everyone should search "michael jackson mix tribute mashup (drums)" :)

[wikyu1]

not bad

[idonoyman10]

@wikyu1 not bad?? not bad!?! he is amazing!!

[giovanimarcondes]

with the Drum kit and Pro Microphones that he has, anyone can make better

[GuitarsRockandLife]

@giovanimarcondes True... but ten dollars still says you can't play better than this! haha

[giovanimarcondes]

@GuitarsRockandLife yeah, maybe i can't do anything better than a 'Streight I' rhythm with pozzoli randomic changes... I'm ignorant about drums

[GuitarsRockandLife]

@giovanimarcondes Only one way to prove that! Video it!

[giovanimarcondes]

@GuitarsRockandLife ok let's video it ........... search for Michael Jackson - The Behind The Mask Project, and take a look at this OFFICIAL MJ VIDEO at the 0:45 - you will see me... the only drummer full body... is it enough for you?

[Shaneil002]

This guy is the fuck

[3yearshardcore1]

101 fuckheads can choke on a dick

[Amazin1853]

@ZGirNizzle lol im sorry

His fellow music performers?

[MegaMc55]

what kind of a snare is that man sounds great bro by the way amazing cover

[dewie93]

@MegaMc55 Its a 'Cherry Bomb' Costs an absolute fortune but it rocks xD

[4minihumbucker]

this is nice, but y'all gotta check out the Smooth Criminal drum cover by funkflash!

[3yearshardcore1]

@4minihumbucker Thanks for the heads-up, FunkFlash is awesome. I'm just learning to play drums and am amazed and inspired seeing how incredibly tallented drummers interpret the same music differently and apply their own unique style to the performance which greatly enhances upon the origional piece. I want to be that good, I better go pratcice.

[princeofyemen100]

i just made a mess in my pants
