COOP3RDRUMM3R Haha WHAT ARE THE ODDS 😂 You killlled it too brother, I love how different our covers are! Nothing but love and respect for you, homie. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
@@cobuspotgieter That's so awesome that you both covered this song! You're both beasts and I've been watching you guys for a long time. I have a Christmas card from you, Cobus, that says, "Have a Ridonkulous Christmas" with a picture of you as Santa. Merry Christmas! Keep putting out great content; I never get tired of watching it!
I’m a 42 year old welder from Australia mate and this brought a tear to my eye. Just unbelievable the power of epic music. Your skills are a gift you’ve not taken for granted and an inspiration to any one who’s sees this. Simply amazing
I've been playing drums for more than 25 years. I have played on worship teams and bands and churches. You are an inspiration and you have a God given talent. Thank you for sharing your gift
Bruh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For King & Country is one of my favorite bands, and you absolutely NAILED IT! Totally did justice to the epic-ness of this song! Bravo!!!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!
!!!!OMG I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE YOU COVER MY ALL TIME FAVORITE CHRISTIAN BAND, GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND!!!! man I hope you Know Jesus but even if you Don't thank you for this belated Birthday gift. I turned 27 yesterday, God bless you sir and have a wonderful & blessed Christmas.
After watching this about 6 times in a row. They took this very old classic Christmas song that is a great song. They took this classic to a completely different level. Its SO GOOD!!! Standing ovation performance!
My favorite thing about Your videos isn’t the insane amount of skill, or the rock solid beat, but the sheer amount of joy evident in your playing. I admire drummers who can stay calm and collected while laying down sick rhythms, but my favorite are those who can’t help but express the joy of playing. Keep rocking out, Cobus!
MERRY CHRISTMAS MAN! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR TALENT TO US. I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU SINCE HIGHSCHOOL NOW I'M HAPPY YOU ARE STILL DOING IT! GOD BLESS YOU
Brother I've been watching you for well over a decade and I just want to say I hope you realize how beautiful you can speak through the drums. You're legit one of very few people that can can do that so authentically in my opinion. It's Absolutely amazing! You just do your own thing and let it flow. 👌
Years later I still come back to this cover and am mesmerised. Such a beautiful heartfelt tribute, genuinely think it's my favourite cover you've put together. Powerful stuff.
I love the fact that you know how to decide when to go fast, where to play on the cymbal, when to end a verse/chorus with a hihat instead of a crash or even the fact that you splashed out heavy metal in the last chorus of the song, going wild with that double bass. The technique is impressive but the wisdom of knowing when to use it is something on another level and you my friend have that ability, keep going forth! - fellow drummer
There's nothing on youtube that makes me happier than when my new idol video comes out, which is simply for me the best drummer ever. I am so grateful for your videos that inspire me to never give up on my dream of someday playing next to you in a super drum collab (as much as I am from Brazil) and being a better drummer every day ❤️🙏
I am 54 now. I have all the major sicknesses. If God gives me the financial freedom, I will retire, get a drum set, practice hard and play this song. I am happy to get a heart attack and die when playing this song due to over excited and happy. Promise!
YEEEEESSSSSSS. Been waiting for YEARS for another Christmas song cover from you. I still watch the most wonderful time of the year video every year a few times. This made Christmas that much better. Thank you
I've been listening to their Christmas live show on a loop for about 2 weeks and everytime I heard this song, I just started to jam. I love this!!! Merry Christmas Cobus!
Thank you for this! Merry Christmas, Cobus!! It’s not often I see a drum cover video that has me audibly giggling at how incredibly tight and pocketed it is...this was one of them, just makes me happy to watch this!
This is older but I just found it. My all-time favorite Christmas song and honestly, I'll listen to it anytime. Amazing version but the fun you are having makes the whole thing even better. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Past decade I've been getting high off the fact you can produce amazing quality, solid drum playing, music. I enjoy the uploads man. Merry Christmas. One drummer too another.
Salty Cheesy Haha I LOVE THIS comment, because right when I played that little (improvised) section, I got that little heart-flutter that drums sometimes gives us - so it’s so rad that it passed through this video to you haha! Thanks for the comment!
WOW!!!!! I just stubble upon this today by accident. WOW! This honestly has to be the best rock version of this song IMO. This is OUTSTANDING! TO see the drums like that makes this version real special.
Cobus, Great cover as always. May you and yours have a Merry Christmas and prosperous 2020. That goes for all your subscribers also Merry Christmas to them and may we all have a prosperous 2020. \m/ Keep on Rocking \m/
i got my tears up.. remember every moment in holiday day, year after year changed and faded. but memories will always be the greatest memories if those things were good the everyone who in it!
What must may not know is, Cobus, you are playing the parts of three and four people. Which you did Flawlessly !! May the Lord continue to Bless You ! Have a Very Merry Christmas !!
Cobus! I’ve been watching you since you started playing on TH-cam. You NEVER cease to amaze me brother! What a joy to watch you play! Always an inspiring watch! God bless! Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Great job covering this awesome Christmas carol. I love what you did with this, especially your simple yet powerful half time section. Lots of inspiration watching your cover, thank you for sharing this Cobus, it was most enjoyable.
King and country is one of the best bands Ive heard. And this cover of drummer boy shows both your skill on the drums, and their song compliments you. Gg bud.
You having such a blast behind the drums makes this video so much better and ignites the fire in the heart of those watching! ❤️🔥💪🏻 And such a great freaking great drummer you are Cobus! It’s a pleasure watching your videos! Much love from Denmark
I've been watching you since the very beginning in the church. Actually met you once too. So incredible to watch you grow and continue to put out great music! Just wanted to say excellent dynamic range in this piece, the quiet slow bits really emphasize the power of the loud sections.
One of my absolute favorite songs!!! I wanted to recommend this to Cobus when it came out, but I thought he probably would never look into it. Especially seeing that they're a Christian band and all. Went to see their Christmas concert when they released this album back in 2016. They killed it! Opened up the show with this, every member of the band behind a different drum beating away at them. It was awesome! But what else can I expect from For king and country, they are literally the greatest live band out there now.
Merry Christmas Cobus and thanks for sharing. You have been one of my favorite drummers for years since I discovered you and that won't change any time soon!
That's why there's no snow. You're bringing too much fire.
Lmao it's 50F in Chicago, cobus needs to upload after Christmas
Ai
Hahaha! Nice timing bro (insert drummer high five here)! You absolutely slayed it as always! Merry Christmas :)

Why are u here cooper hahaha
He slayed you😆
😆😆😆❤
Pretty sure Cobus is the decendant of the orginal drummer boy.
Every once in a while I just go back and watch this cause its so unbelievably awesome.
I love the way this guy smiles when he drums. It makes it look like he's really having fun and it gives the whole video a funner vibe
Cobus, I've been watching you since the begining and I must say I missed the christian music drum covers :)
I’m a 42 year old welder from Australia mate and this brought a tear to my eye. Just unbelievable the power of epic music. Your skills are a gift you’ve not taken for granted and an inspiration to any one who’s sees this. Simply amazing
Now that is how you finish a decade!
Sean akatigerwoods I’ve got one more little surprise coming before the decade is over 😎

ooh thanks for letting us know so its not a surprise anymore well if they look at the comments
@@cobuspotgieter that surprise didn't disappoint

SaintJohn good man 😂😂😂😂🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
You should try listening to all of them! But to start off with, find NF
You obviously haven't heard the Christmas album by *August Burns Red*
!!!!OMG I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE YOU COVER MY ALL TIME FAVORITE CHRISTIAN BAND, GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND!!!! man I hope you Know Jesus but even if you Don't thank you for this belated Birthday gift. I turned 27 yesterday, God bless you sir and have a wonderful & blessed Christmas.

Thanks for the early Christmas gift! 🎁 🎄😀
You're the best Cobus, I've been listening to you for 11 years and you've changed my life. Thank you for playing, keep on being the rockstar you are!

After watching this guy for three plus years now, this is by far my favorite video!!!
DUDE! The passion and and meaning of the song shine through in your playing. Rocking man!

Energy drinks & Coke 😂

your drumming videos are by far the best on youtube. Best drumsound, camera angles and style
I am 54 now. I have all the major sicknesses. If God gives me the financial freedom, I will retire, get a drum set, practice hard and play this song. I am happy to get a heart attack and die when playing this song due to over excited and happy. Promise!
BRO JUST AMAZED
Legend has it...this song is actually prophetic, foretelling the birth and subsequent development of Cobus: The Dummer boy!
"The perfect Christmas carol doesn't exi-"
"Oh."
"Okay then."
I could literally watch this on repeat for the rest of my life!
This video is has been a part of my Christmas tradition since it came out. I think we’re just about ready for a reprise Cobus!

Salty Cheesy Haha I LOVE THIS comment, because right when I played that little (improvised) section, I got that little heart-flutter that drums sometimes gives us - so it’s so rad that it passed through this video to you haha! Thanks for the comment!

Wow... looking effortless as always, Cobus. Merry Christmas to all you drummer boys and girls!!!
Their rendition of Little Drummer Boy it’s hands down my favorite. This was the cherry on top. Oh and the yellow mug continues its appearance record.
What must may not know is, Cobus, you are playing the parts of three and four people. Which you did Flawlessly !! May the Lord continue to Bless You ! Have a Very Merry Christmas !!
Cobus! I’ve been watching you since you started playing on TH-cam. You NEVER cease to amaze me brother! What a joy to watch you play! Always an inspiring watch! God bless! Merry Christmas and happy new year!

This guy blows my mind, I love it! Lots of people can drum but not everyone drums from the inside out.
Got so excited when I saw the thumbnail. As always, flawless Cobus!! Amazing song choice and an incredible cover. Job well done!!! Blessings
You know this song is amazing when someone already has a cover of it.
I've been watching you since the very beginning in the church. Actually met you once too. So incredible to watch you grow and continue to put out great music! Just wanted to say excellent dynamic range in this piece, the quiet slow bits really emphasize the power of the loud sections.
No other Video tells me more that its Christmas Time soon. Watching it every Year around that time... love it.
F’in awesome bro! God Bless and Merry Christmas
Best cover so far. Merry Christmas!
Yes! For King and Country is awesome
One of my absolute favorite songs!!! I wanted to recommend this to Cobus when it came out, but I thought he probably would never look into it. Especially seeing that they're a Christian band and all.
Went to see their Christmas concert when they released this album back in 2016. They killed it! Opened up the show with this, every member of the band behind a different drum beating away at them.
