  • i like cobus, but i cant help but NOT like what he did with this song...

  • Oh my fucking god... That was amazing. I am not even gonna lie and say that guitar is harder than drums because this clearly shows that drums are more difficult to play (also considering I can play guitar amazingly, but I can't play drums, that being said I must say that the covers on my page are old and I have become a much better guitarist since then) Very impressive improv cover. :)

  • Nice drum cover! but you have to let the music flow. dont force. the more you feel the music, the better you'll play. You seemed a little stiff when playing..but still good job

  • what splash is that ? it sounds sexy as hell

  • I don't see why so many people come here just to rag on this cover. It's done extremely well, and it adds a whole new dimension to one of my favorite songs. I might even go so far as to say that I prefer this cover to the original. Cobus is a talented drummer, it's an awesome cover, both in feeling and technicality. Get over yourselves.

  • this is truly amazing. like wow.

  • This is a very difficult song to play well, and unfortunately Cobus' 'cover' really doesn't do the song justice and lacks the intricate groove that Carter Beauford has (well duh right, it's Carter Beauford!) Having said that, hitting all the punches and being able to play with the song is an accomplishment on its own. Good job Cobus, keep working at it!

  • This is one of my favorite covers from Cobus. Scratch that, this one definitely is my favorite. I will kill for the original footage or a higher quality one. High hat and symbols work is straight up win.

  • dude that song is so hard! get signed bro you rock!

  • I love that Carter is the only drummer that people who do covers take liberty with. Wish people were less afraid to do their own interpretations on more songs.

  • aw..yuck..xD NO GROOVE NO DYNAMICS!! DONT JUST BE TECHNICAL!!

  • @jessier1207 shut up.

  • the sounds bit harsh

  • I vote for Vish

  • Fluffed up the ending a little but still overall totally epic!!

  • Like! carter beauford eh!? ;P

  • Hey Im a drummer who wants to start a new wave rock/jazz/fusion/latin/classic­al/metal/regae band (i know its a lot lol) and I was just wondering who taught you how to drum?

  • @a1rf0rce1992 The amazing Cobus Potgieter taught him

  • @a1rf0rce1992 Cobus has never had lesson he learnt all he knows by ear.

  • Sinto muito, o Cobus é um batera excepcional, mas comparando as versões, não há dúvidas que o Carter Beauford esculachou o vídeozinho dele. Contudo, vale mencionar que esse vídeo do Cobus é bem antigo, ele devia estar com uns 16 anos.

    [Sorry, Cobus is an exceptional drummer, but comparing these versions, there is no doubt that Carter Beauford kicked his ass. However, it is worth mentioning that this video is very old Cobus, he must have been about 16 years.]

  • farkin awesom, unreal

  • I love how Cobus is not only an epic drummer, but an epic audio engineer as well!!

  • DRIVE. IN. DRIVE. OUT. WOULD. BE. EPIC.

  • Cobus can u play more dave matthews band ur the best drum man tech me that stuff

  • i remember when Cobus did good covers like this

  • thought the title said Tripping Balls

  • you should go back to the other songs u play with the easy beats you r used too the beat u play is no where close to the way he plays his sorry but i wish i had 4 hands to give it 4 thumbs down

  • @sethrylne I can tell by the videos that you have uploaded that you are sooooo great.. Not really, I want to see you play, let alone this good.

  • @sethrylne Why don't you give constructive criticism instead of hiding behind your youtube account and being a dick.

  • @sethrylne are you stupid he said hes not staying true to the beat

  • @sethrylne See what good musicians do is, they don't try to play the original, its fasanating.

  • @TheFuckingJungleBaby

    Eh...playing the original note-for-note is much more difficult for the amateur drummer (seen here).

  • @PositivelyBored Well excuse me, I mean I can tell by looking at your channel your just an awesome drummer who can call cobus amateur.

  • @TheFuckingJungleBaby

    What does any of that matter? I am commenting on the video and adding some truth ( IMO )..feel free to disagree, but don't be immature about it. He's pretty good.

  • There are 85 jealous guys here xD

  • good work man!!!!that's spectacular!!!!

  • ''Mom come and have a look at this!!'' .. ''Oh its chuck norris! .. wait?''

  • Carter Beauford's is better. <3

  • amazing this guy has more views than the actual drummer..nt bad bro. but stil luv the original drummer though

  • NADA QUE VER CON CARTER.... OLVIDATE.

  • @jangel2771 Bro... God isn't real

  • Nice for a Jonas Brothers playing hipster...(kidding)

  • answer me this cobus.whens the last time you locked yourself in your room put some music on and prayed to god for more than 5 minutes? whens the last time your actually read the word not just when people are watching? are you A holy man in church and outside the devil. repent.

  • @jangel2771 What a horribly stupid comment to be posting on this video. Repent.

    On another note, I always come around to watch this video every now and then. Beautifully done. 

  • @metallicatsa dont be retarded

  • Ahhhh......sigh. Finesse drumming: A beautiful thing. Carter Beauford the inventor....and guys like this the perpetuators...love it man. Awesome.

  • He just raped Carter Beauford lol xD

  • @metallicatsa nah u siced it

  • Very very very very very good.

  • wow I wanna play like you

  • WooW!!!..this shit is aweosome!!

  • not bad for a normal person

    but not even close to carter,,,keep trying though

  • I really like how relaxed he is playing this song. The only way to play DMB

  • WOW! Carter would be impressed! This was bad ass! Great Work!

  • HE COOL

  • i wish i could get my snare to sound like that....

  • Comment removed

  • Great job bro, your very talented

  • Noone can cover Carter Beauford. Anyone who tries and gets close gets a thumbs up from me. Nice job.

  • I miss this side of Cobus.

  • @thelocalpeoplemusic Agreed, its so much more raw

  • @thelocalpeoplemusic What's wrong with how he is now? He's gotten so much better, and matured so much more as a drummer. I personally think the people that dislike his newer stuff don't realize exactly how much that is. His style has changed, yeah. It's become more subtle, but his basic groove is still there, and his joy for playing. I don't get why people don't understand that...

  • you should be paramore's new drummer..

  • I respect his technical ability very much... but I think just because you can fill spaces with more notes doesn't mean you should do it all the time! It almost sounds too cluttered.

  • @carbonatedsodayoda i concur.

  • Carter plays cleaner

  • @Harelgur maybe thats because he wrote the song?

  • @wrhslax1996 Carter would play anything cleaner than cobus.

  • @Harelgur hey don' t get me wrong carter is my favorite drummer ever...

  • Cobus is good, but it almost makes me angry that he did a cover to this song. Carter is just amazing. I don't think he should do covers of songs where the drummer is on an entire different level. Now all other songs yes! ;) I like dmb.. haha

  • @blkrush I disagree, I think Cobus made the song his own on this one. Carter is good, for sure, but this shouldn't restrict anyone from having a good time and jaming along to a song they love and then have the generosity to share what he made with us.

  • @blkrush nahh dude. he and carter have a different style.. and i dont think carter is really any better.. cobus did his own version to the song, and to tell you the truth i like this better than the original anyways.

  • @zukie44 Carter definitely is better. Cobus is a good cover drummer, but he wouldn't be able to come up with half the stuff Carter Beauford has come up with for DMB. His chops aren't as good as Carter's either. He's good, but he's not as good as Carter Beauford.

  • HI HA!!!XB

  • cobus blows

  • @rwaldron10 are you deaf man he's amazing

  • Cobus is great but Carter Beauford is on a whole new level

  • South African Boytjie!

  • at the first time i saw you playing a good song!

  • ..Fucking Amazing! Congratulations man!

  • 4:17 onwards is amazing.

  • Carter Beauford called, he says: R-E-S-P-E-C-T

  • wow he finished the black eyed peas - lets get it started, and then right after that, without doing a pause, he started this one ..

  • hey man cobus you are pretty dope man this is pretty old i would love to hear some new stuff i bet its alot tighter i like this though man

  • this is one of the best drum covers i've seen from cobus. so good, he feels the music soooo well! love it! dmb is awesome!

  • dmb is a drummers heaven

  • @backwardsmarathon1 Totally true. Carter is amazing and gave me a reason to keep on playing.

  • @backwardsmarathon1 Could be a nightmare to the ones trying to play it eheh

  • great cover. only recomendation is play while on acid. for this song anyway.

  • YESS!!!

  • awesome playing dude! what kind of mounted toms are those? they sound great!

  • @rockerr12595 never mind i just read the description lol

  • Is it wierd that I have dreams of being cobus...???

    He needs to do more songs like this, like he used to, soooo techinical.

  • i'm so confused as to why you haven't done anymore DMB covers.

  • You aren't using a double bass pedal are you? You're very quick with your right foot.

  • out fucking standing!!! I watch a lot of drummers ALL the time on youtube and this guy is definitely up there with some of the best. Usually I watch metal drummers like george kollias, or bobby jarzombek which is fun but sometimes I feel like listening to something with a bit more groove. Chris penny is one drummer that incorporates groove to otherwise metal/aggressive music...along with danny carey and brann dailor

  • You used to look like a massive stoner.

  • Yo, this is really good, could you maybe check mine out if you have the time, see what you think :D

  • who does not like this video your mom has dick

  • You guys make me laugh , all haters are like : Carter Beauford is 1000x times better . Who gives a shit he didnt make that cover to prove anything .If haters could read the description , they could realise that hes playing that song because its FUN nothing else .

  • You sure loved that splash cymbal

  • wow i wish i were that good you rock

  • love the hi-hat technique.

  • You can't be betther than Carter Beauford!! ;-)))

  • Why the hell is this guy not professional??

  • Sick vid man, Spot on drumming. Check out my vids if you would.

  • Who are the 77 stupids that puted this down????, this the best cover i have ever seen, meeeeen how aold ar u dud??? yu paly reallt good, keep working.. AWESOME

  • i dont like cobus. he is good and i give him that he has excellent technique but he just plays pop covers. all moderately easy songs. i want to see him do a Quo Vadis cover or an opeth cover.

  • @bodomtopps i dont know, i think that's kind of a thoughtless comment. not to bash your prefered typed of music, because i actually just looked up opeth, and there good, but you have to remember that even these pop covers that cobus does are really pretty intricate. Alot of the fills are not only creative but ive seen some fills that contain quite a bit (alot) of speed and precision.

  • not gonna lie, your amazing :) but no one can beat big carter :)

  • Overall good job. ..

    too many 16th notes on hi hat.. stop hitting that fucking bell in the middle of your fills it doesnt sound good.. sometime u do too much, almost as if your playing like u got too much to prove,your not stayin in the pocket either, pay attention to carter, but dude you got talent though bro

  • @XxGINDIxX lol whatd you do , look up some drum lingo and give advise? no man, for how he was playing he made the right moves. 16th inst a note lol but anyway , cant wait to see your drum vid posted.

  • @thor21476

    Gindi is a douche but ummm, 16th note is a note. just to clear that up dude.

  • @thor21476 Ight homo, thor ? nlol go jack off to marvel. anywayss i will post my vid soon, and wtf are u talking about ? 1e and a 2e and a 3 e and a 4e and a.. thhose are 16th notes.. carter has a broken hi hats this kids all over the fucking place all im saying.. fag.

  • @XxGINDIxX its clear youre just a hater and dont know what youre talking about, a few drum lingo lines and you think youre an expert lol, post a vid see what you got lol pathetic ha

  • Overall good job. ..

    too many 16th notes on hi hat.. stop hitting that fucking bell in the middle of your fills it doesntsound good.. sometime u do too much, almost as if your playing like u got too much to prove, you got talent though bro

  • excellent.

  • Carter Beauford is so underated. Thumbs up if you agree.

  • Comment removed

  • i don't care that it's not covered note to note, i just think it sounds annoying the way he's playing some parts, and some of the fills were just lame

  • I hope Carter Beauford has seen this.

  • wow

  • Very impressive man. I think carter would be proud.

    I don't get why people are upset that it was not covered note for note. I actually takes a lot more talent to be able to understand the music enough to know what sounds good, not just read what is on the page.

    out of curiosity, what are the other drummers in your top three?

  • I can Barely hear the  toms. But Very nice.

  • @bibcute

    You need to get new speakers or new ears if you can't hear the toms.

  • dude, you got style !

  • He is having so much fun! ha ha ha

  • This kid is insane! Hey plays everything great!

  • It didn't really get the same flow as the original, Cobus is a great drummer and far more talented than me, but I was kinda disapointed with this one.

  • @MrMcskurk i get the feeling that this guy doesn't give a shit about how you feel about his drumming

  • @jedrzejku I never said he did. I commented on the video, wrote down what I thought about it. How can that be a problem to you?

    Obviously you like him and so do I, but this is one of hes lesser performances.

  • @MrMcskurk what good does it do anybody for anyone to know that you were disappointed with this performance? did anybody ask you for your opinion?

  • @jedrzejku Excuse me? Isen't it the whole point of this commeting system on Youtube? And if you think people shouldn't comment their opinions on videos why aren't you getting pissed off at everybody else here saying "Wow", "Dude, you got style!", "Very impressive man"?

  • @MrMcskurk you're not constructive at all to society, you don't make him feel any better about his drumming (or maybe you do because he reads your pointless comment and laughs because he doesn't give a shit). you don't even give him a good reason on why you didn't like it, just that you're "disappointed" like you know him and expected better, but you don't know this guy. you're nobody. at least a positive comment of opinion is nice to read. and you didn't even spell "disapointed" right.

  • @jedrzejku Why do you act like I insulted you? To be honest, I think he would say "Take a break" if he saw your comment's. It's almost like you're obsessed with him? And now you are only allowed to give positive comment's? Come on. This is Youtube for Christ sake. You you worry so much about (some) of the comment's here, you should be glad i didn't just say 'gay' or 'Tits or GTFO'.

  • @jedrzejku I wrote my thoughts about this video and since Cobus didn't disable the comment function on this video, he seems to care.

    Oh, and I'm really sorry about the 'Disapointed' that should have been spelled 'Dissapointed'. I guess i was a little inattentive, but you seem to have gotten the point of it anyway.

  • @MrMcskurk you haven't insulted me, but maybe someone else with the idea that, once again, someone has spoken inappropriately. you're like a child who just says what he wants, whenever he wants. and what i'm obsessed with is fighting YOU and everyone like you who go out of their way to leave their unaiding opinions where nobody wants them. I want to speak for the entire Youtube community when I say that when you speak, whether it's online or otherwise, it should be with good purpose, not ruin.

  • @jedrzejku You know, a good friend of mine once said: "Arguing on the internet is like running special olympics, even if you win your still retardet." Have a nice life douche.

    Oh, and I wan't to speak for the entire Youtube community when say that you are making a pretty big deal out of this.

  • ruined it.

  • Damn my brains have just exploded 0.o

  • @sgapiespeciale apparently you havent seen the original one

  • Dude! I just imploded.....

  • This is really unbelievably solid drumming. Keep it up.

  • @vishdrums I wouldn't tell people to check out my version of a video right after they watch Cobus. At that point you might as well have been a blind monkey playing the drums with no sticks............... and no drums.

  • @BosshogProductions no shit. amen

  • To all the guys talking shit, you know absolutely nothing, that was fuckin sick, great job man and I hope you post more vids of you kickin ass. You should a do a cover of Heart of the Sunrise by Yes, I'd like to see what you come with over that.

  • @BociftusPotions Woah! read the description he calls it a drum cover cuz thats what people search but he really means drum "remix". and dont hate bro ide SERIOUSLY like to see you do better. also I dare you to argue back cuz drum theory is what I do.

  • @linkofdoom Drum theory is what you do? Interesting..

  • @BociftusPotions hes one of the best drummers iv ever seen and hes doing his own rendition of the song and id love to see you do better rather then bashin people online, out of a 1-10 i give your comment....a simple 0

  • @BociftusPotions What an idiot please learn how to read, "I have to emphasize, I know calling this a "cover" is wrong, seeing as I only PARTLY stayed true to the song's drums, through the WHOLE song i play some variations of the beats, phrasing and fills, I'm NOT aiming to be accurate to the original drums, I'm just aiming to enjoy myself.. :) And I thouroughly succeeded in doing that, I might add ;)" he even says so himself

  • @BociftusPotions you obviously suck major dick you fuckin spick piece of shit

  • @BociftusPotions mm..i think that a cover is something that u have to "add"..if u dont, why u do a cover?...besides,u suck men stay out of this..

  • @BociftusPotions you should be a drummer to understand what is ''fills'' lol , but some clever people understood its a great drumming , i am afraid you arent clever

  • @BociftusPotions If you were educated, you would look in the description where he explains that calling it a cover is wrong and that he was just improvising. You must have gone to college at UGA. 

  • Comment removed

  • @caperincident Haters deserve it.

  • @gtrocksyosocks My fault. I thought you were ripping on deedlebag for calling it a cover and was annoyed because that's just splitting hairs on a pointless argument. I missed that bociftuspotions comment sucked because it was hidden due to too many negative reviews. Sorry, I agree that bociftus needs to shut up.

  • @caperincident lol its cool man. i understand.

  • @BociftusPotions You are OBVIOUSLY jelous - Cobus is in nothing less than a Pro

    He is Oficially My hero - I Would turn gay for him ...

  • @SadiMovies You already are, faggot.

  • I have about 10 of your vids on favs. Looking for a few new ones. IMHO your tops in the field!

  • please do ants marching

  • Why people dislikes his vids??? it's so good... and most drummers can't play like him... But i have to say he had some "attittude" !!!

  • if Carter saw this he would be very proud!! and you better be proud of yourself too you surely did a great job at playing this!! keep making awesome covers of awesome songs!! ;D
