This is a drum cover (or remix) of Vanilla Sky's cover of Rihanna's song, Umbrella.
(whoa, now that's one complicated sentence)
Crazy amounts of fun, this one. Loved the groovy parts in the intro and outtro, aswell as the heavy stuff in the middle. Obviously the last few choruses were also quite nice to do :)
(As for the outtro doublebass crossovers; it's the only part of the song that was written beforehand, the rest is all improvised on the spot, to keep things fresh and unpredictable.)
I have to emphasize, I know calling this a "cover" is wrong, seeing as I only PARTLY stayed true to the song's drums (or lack thereof), through the WHOLE song i play some variations of the beats, phrasing and fills, since 99% of what i play is improvised. Even though i have done my fair share of session and studio drumming, that has little to zero effect on these video's, I kind of see them as live performances. 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, might I add :)

Thumbs up if you're watching this in 2021 😎
UPDATE: I just released a new DRUM LESSON PACK! -> bit.ly/CobusLessons. 5 lessons, 90 minutes, for 27 bucks. It will make you better at tuning drums, mixing drums, I'll show you my practice routine, my worst habits as a self-taught drummer, and teach you one of my favourite linear licks. Thanks for being here!
Bro I'm watching it in 2024 and probably watch it in 2034. You're the best drummer in my opinion
14 years later. Still one of my most favourite drum covers
This video was one of my first favorite TH-cam videos.
I've been through so much since this first came out.
I'm sure you've been through a lot too.
Love you all.
Rel bro
Cobus was my introduction to youtube as a kid. He inspired me to keep drumming. Here I am 25 coming back to these videos. Timeless
Ok, time to rewatch this after 2019 version
this always be the best, even though he's actually better currently
@@Shadowicked Yeah, I think that the mixing has been done better here that's why this seems better.

I'm still remembering the first time I heard this song .. Cobus , thanks for giving us some of your talent and time to see and hear. For me it is one of the best cover on drums made if not the best . Greetings from Mexico and keep doing what you know to do.
There is a soul in this video. Something that just makes it special. Listened after a long time. Amazing work Cobus, you are a boss.

I'm really proud of you, regardless if you read this or not, I have been watching your videos since I was in high school. Time passes, I'm almost graduating college and it makes me smile to see you've grown also! Congratulations on finally being noticed by TH-cam! I hope you and your new band have millions of adventures everyday and I'll always be a fan of all the work you do! Thank you for your hard work and the beautiful pieces of music that have made me listen for years!

Thank you Cobus, you made my life so much more meaningful, did not get to see you last year while you were in Dublin, Ireland. Hope we will meet next time.

the best drum cover in a word
Wow... it’s been 10 years already.. Cheers dude!
2017 and still watching...Cobus your music is incredible
Cobus, Do you have Calf's made of Iron?! Every single video you are doing impeccable and fast bass pedal hits.
Keep the drumming alive for us, you're possibly the most talented and original guy i've ever come across on youtube!
Its been 10 years and I am never bored of this video.
天知道我当年看了多少遍这视频哈哈~新版本的纪念也很棒~加油~
Watched this video after ages. Still made me smile at the end of it, after all this time!
love the sound of those drums!
I would love to see a newer version of this. But this will always be one of my favorite
Cobus, I have a question. Would you tell me the name of these drum snares, the place where they are sold, and the price of them?
been watching you since I was in High School!
Best youtuber cover guy of all times!
Dude, you're crazy good on those drums, man.
Clutch dawg
That was Clutch~~~
Straight up smooth and would win any audition for most likely anything
I have seen all the videos on TH-cam of you playing in there all awesome keep up the good work
All I'm going to say is that YOU are the main reason I want to start drumming. As sappy as it sounds you have inspired me! :^{D
I never get tired of this
Two things are certain in life: death and that after 10 years this is the best drum cover of this song
decade and plus still watching cobus drum covers
Snare sounds soo good!!!
@Zz36093 Ah right I didn't notice that before, so getting a quad stroke effect? I've tried that before its hard to maintain.
Rock pesado mesmo, parabéns rapaz, você tem talento
how do u get to play drums over the song with out the original songs drums playin over is it an instrumental?
Best Vanilla sky cover ever!
I can't stop,watch this video, is so good. Congratulations.
I just found my old comment and I am glad my english improved lol
Anyone know what headphones he uses? they stay put nicely
how did you remove the original drums from the song and did your own cover? and how come the song is still playing when you're listening through headphones? thx
this is the best of all covers he'd done.. may my life would suck without you is prett close to it..
this guy is very crazy.. cobus, you are my drum hero :D you are my inspiration!
Two thumbs up! Best drum I see ever.
12 years later still my favourite drum cover ever
bro..
can you tell me, what kind of software did you use for this video??
and how to combine more than one video in this video , like 0:11-0:23
please , i need your help broo :)
thx before
I just watched his Yellowcard-Breathing cover and noticed that his yellow mug in the background kept moving. his mug in this video moves as well which leads to the fact that he splices and mixes his covers :( regardless, he's still an AMAZING drummer and we all love him. keep it up cobus! :D
Thanks to this man right here, I have almost six years playing drums.
wow...sick! Amazing drum cover!
It's so cool that a really respectable piece of congratulations got up-voted to the top.
how do u spin the sticks at 3:20???
well done cobus, you rock!!!
i remember watching this when it had very little views. blew my mind then. blows it now. make this seem. effortless
i love that lil ding, it gives me chills
the reason i subscribed to this channel was this video, 10 years later.. here i'm again :D
i still watching this after 12 years havent visit this page. I love them!
0:47 - 2:47 what's the name of that "bell"? (i know that's not a bell)... is that a pad?
I like how he looks at the camera at 2:47 and gives us a smile! :D Awesome cover man :D
2 years I listen to this cover, it's SO GOOD :D
after all this time i still watch this cover and i love it :)
On a scale of 1 to 'epic win', this video is OVER 9000!!!!
I remember watching this like 5 years ago and today its still amazing
I love how he looks at the camera and smiles when he hits the ding pad (as I am now referring to it as) as if to say, "All right guys there you go, I know you love it"
Awesome dude!!! you are my hero!!!
ahh the deedlebag days....brings me back
I've never actually heard this song but I knew it when I heard it.
Weird.
Great cover Cobus
This man is a legend! 🤘🏼👏🏼🙌🏼
