Cobus - Boys Like Girls - The Great Escape (DRUMS COVER)

[blblblfkdjdjf]

the sound of your snare in this video literally turns me on

[MusicEqualsAwesome44]

It's cool because he doesn't copy the drummers of the songs, he adds his own unique twists. I am pretty sure they call that TALENT.

[stedzky08]

request.. let me hear Redneck by Lamb of God.. you're great

[bigbossdevin1919]

The epic part of this video is that his one eye is covered by his hair and yet his still playing like a boss.

[MrVinkots]

he looks like a muscular version of joe jonas!

[Patrickbsfan2]

@MrVinkots So I'm NOT the only one that thinks he looks like joe! Phew!

[geminigurl]

OMG! i like you! im a girl but you make the hairs at the back of my neck stand! hahaha!

[nherben09]

"Uploaded by deedlebag on Oct 18, 2007" but still now so many people are watching and I'm one of it! GO COBUS! you're a Legendary! IDOL!

[drum883]

171 boys like boys...

[1pezze]

[MrKungkreto]

[DaZaOMG]

[Raidei]

I forgot that Cobus used to have long hair because I've gotten so used to the short hair.

[kkkkeisha]

this is amazing.

[aldrelabus]

press 2 - Rape me

[delbudge]

I will never be able to hear the original the same... 5 Stars

[ShakirISims]

WHY AM I NOT COBUS?!!!!

[kyo0grain]

@ShakirISims Because you're not. That's all there is to it

[leeneesheng]

Why are you guys saying he wears superman tshirts? He is superman!

[Cambernina8]

i'm glad he cut his hair....

[stephenthepiper]

He is very good and talented. I hope i can jam with him someday

[bongks009]

[raven11885]

[bigcountry66722]

[smtbbo]

today's lesson: the speed of light is overrated

[Dakotaddrum]

SO sick bro, i wish i could drum like that single bass, but i am in a metal band so i guess double bass is the way to go lol

[adnanjan101995]

shit this dude is my idol from now on.....:D....live on cobus....

[NeonChubby]

Superman can fly, have super strength, have X-ray vision, heat vision, and is invincible to anything on Earth. That's bullshit. Cobus is the real superman.

[curlythugSweetz]

and maybe superman is one of cobus' ancestors.

[curlythugSweetz]

he's so awesome in 1:28 min.

[curlythugSweetz]

Don't try to destroy his drums 'cause he will kill you ! :D .

(maybe he will.)

[OnnoyingOrange]

0:12 for his orgasm face

[pfliegaphonic]

Somebody buy this kid some decent cymbals -- he is too good for those pies.

[lorenzkonan]

Find the hidden mickeys!

[PowerSourceTheBand]

Finally, someone to compare Chuck Norris to...

[uniquenamexD]

Drummin' even eyes closed.



[malto0719]

2:13 drum orgasm

[TGtaylor17]

when super man feels the beats coming from cobus he shits his super human pant

[TheLolarose83]

[dueykd]

Let's see tht bieber bitch do this

[WeLightOurSkyline]

That Superman shirt is an understatement by Cobus' standards. :D

[evoemperor4g63]

Dude, the long hair does not fit you. Lol

[happyheadpopper]

good video mate, but can i ask you exactly how you recorded your drums and with what equipment?

[theknxghost]

that was awful!! not that was awesome i'd compare you to joe jordinson.

great job. you rock

[CoCoBangBang15]

this is how you started... now look at you, they grow up so fast!!!!!!!!!

[AlejoSunShine1111]

this was the video that made me say COBUS is NICE !!!!!!! this is what started it all. Favorite of all time. Love it



[outdoorpooltable]

@SynGates2063 to be fair he just missed out an m

[McCaskill89]

@SynGates2063 lol....

[HylerMusic]

Amazing cover, classic Cobus. Watched this hundreds of times when I was arranging this song for my classical guitar version in my video. Big inspiration here.

[1997silentbutdeadly]

terrible cybols

[samfalco8]

@TheAftermathWorld isnt london in england.....? :S

[jujuishawesome]

Ive spent at least half an hour watching his videos, ive gotta stop noww lol

[217SaW]

I love throwing in risky fills and totally nailing it XD

[FatPersonTorturer]

Superman stole Cobus' shirt

[MrVariousmusic]

2:10-2:15 C-O-B-U-S!!! FTW!!!

[TheWww101010]

YOU ROCK your one of my fav drummers next to my brother he tought me how to play drums

[mykenwood21]

epic face 1:29 O:

[TheLilipoupoule]

I have finally found the god of drums =D

[Tybrad88]

@TheLilipoupoule One of them. Neil Peart is definitely the God if anyone was to be claimed the title.

[Elsje93]

dude, your awesome!

[plutodude76]

ok george of the jungle

[Secondofolitude]

that shirt speaks the truth!

[GBPackersfan121]

@Secondofolitude, the funny thing is that you think it is a shirt.

[FakeMessiah94]

@BoBBieBoBBie430 Better music? Thats your opinion dude, I like metal, doesn't mean its better....and more genre's? You clearly haven't looked at a lot of his covers then ;D Watch the vids cause you enjoy them, drumming isn't a competition.

[joethedrummer123579]

its cool to think that cobus once had the cymbals i have!

[iHateTwilight29]

what is up with the chuck norris jokes..kinda getting old

P.S this is prob the 100th time i changed pants

damn it cobus

[beeniefide]

Fede Rabaquino is better than Cobus in my humble opinion. I know I'm in the minority but search him and you'll see what I mean.

[12monkey123]

ok, hes not the best drummer in the world. people need to stop thinking that. jesus

[MatthewTimmonsMusic]

@12monkey123 This also isn't his best drumming session. I mean, it's awesome, but there are some that he does that blow this one away.

[12monkey123]

@MatthewTimmonsMusic yeah i agree, he does have some good ones but everybody on youtube that is a good drummer gets compared to him and im just like WTF?

[VROOMCRF80F]

u like playing the drums dont u haha

[clairebearable1]

@SirBaga  O_o everything

[TheJake314]

@SirBaga hes absolutely frickin amazing, check out his newer stuff like the nexus series

[DrMizza]

Hey Chuck Norris

i think i find your lost son O-o

[maisto878]

You got skills bro.

[k9canine94]

this was my first video into loving cobus n loving evn more drums and music! ,3 great job dude!!

[rockleone2734]

beast at 2:38-2:43

[WhichOnesTheLiveWire]

and what the hell happens at 2:11 ?!

[WhichOnesTheLiveWire]

Im curious, how much improv does he put into videos like this??

and if he's good enough to play all these songs, how come he has to do several takes and only edit the best bits into one video??:o

[MKBoyardee]

@WhichOnesTheLiveWire Everybody makes mistakes. Don't be an ass.

[WhichOnesTheLiveWire]

@MKBoyardee my apologies Cobus, didnt mean to accuse you or anythin:P this videos incredible, it's my inspiration anyway!!

[MKBoyardee]

@WhichOnesTheLiveWire Unfortunately, I'm not Cobus. He's a lot more humble and kind than I am. I'm just saying that he can't be perfect every time.

[runescapeispie]

@WhichOnesTheLiveWire Most of the fills and some of the beats are all improvised, which is basically what makes his covers awesome.

He doesn't do several takes on each part and edit all the parts together into one video, he records the same take from multiple viewpoints and changes the viewpoint every several seconds for our visual pleasure, keeping the audio the exact same track the whole way through.

[09TURIS]

Why two 16" crash? Thanks!

[Toqwert33]

@theTalmon18 hahahaha srgghjyrvnko... Hhgfvjjuyfdvhjj.... Zdghyyjjhff... Multiple lol

[TheTalmon18]

Superman deserves to be on Cobus.

[iruleall4x4]

[theK9freak]

@TrippyDrummer Dude!! I finally understood what it meant after the fourth time!! Haha!! :D

[SamColtz18]

Dude, you're a king.

[billybob9175]

166 people got caught while trying to escape from cobus awsomenist!

[NOWAYOUT688]

[airsoftdrummer101]

Mother: What are you doing?

Child: Watching Cobus!

Mother: Get off the computer your grou- Wait your listening to Cobus? Oh ok you can stay on the computer as long as you want!

[TrippyDrummer]

[airsoftdrummer101]

@TrippyDrummer Read it twice haha

[ryangriff12]

[ChandlerH205]

[trubelaa]

I love his new shit, but I miss the old Cobus. :<

[lolfyi1]

AMAZING thats all i have to say..

[clairebearable1]

Epic!!!!!

[GtrPlusAlone]

wow... this was posted in 2007? i requested this song cover 4 years ago? :D

I'm so glad he did this cover

[tjdrumz2000fun]

omg 2:11-2:15

[tazzbell]

when cobus goes to bed he puts on his superman shirt in hope he will be smart and great like him. when superman goes to bed he puts on his cobus shirt in hopes he will be more like him in that he will be awesome and forever rememered, looks like it worked. :D

[dropdeadbitch69]

really good

[madmartigan4077]

he's wearing a superman shiert! coinidence? i think not!

[azurict]

Progress dot: it took me 3 minutes and 25 seconds to make it nine inches, why do you keep dragging me back to the beginning?

me: sorry dude, it's Cobus...

[TheFredprog]

write fred grenier on youtube, if you want to see drum video!

[JeffreyDrumpants]

bummer. we dont see this cobus anymore. :/

[krod2810]

Nice I love how u play the drums great work

[H4RDCORE1996]

Wow cobus you look exactly like my brother no joke man but your a way better drummer than him xD

[flipadiddle]

wow, this is weak

[MrPositiveee]

He play better than the real drummer

[iwimp1994]

@MrPositiveee I wouldn't doubt that he is a better drummer, but boys like girls's real drummer is actually a very very talented drummer. This is a cover, that's why cobus goes crazy on it. The real drummer obviously wouldn't go so crazy while recording a song.

[Misinformation22]

Young Cobus :D

[komixpinoy]

I like the part where he played the drums

[alexkindred33]

if i had to take a test and was allowed to listen to anything to help, i would cheat with this

[Thinein123]

I only clicked on it to listen to the song...

[danekook4]

this kid is a bozz

[darin1989]

If i ever hear that BLG's drummer has been jumped and is no longer to play drums so they need to find a new one.... I will know why!

[cloudkeys]

[SeanLights]
