The Michael Jackson Tribute mini-series is me paying my respects to one of the most influential musicians to ever have lived. I absolutely LOVED jamming along to these song by MJ, the grooves are an incredible amount of fun to play :)
RIP MJ.
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 thoroughly succeeded in doing that, might I add :)

When you got quarantine and you just watch the old stuff that you loved
Like 2009
I wonder what Jonothan Moffet thinks of this
hah..my cuz had dinner with Sugarfoot recently. wish this question had been asked.
@@waltrmitty fr?
@@matthewkamara6261 yup. the Guest was invited to a surprise lunch celebration for my cousin who turned 16. i'm looking at the photos/videos again right now...that be Mr. Moffitt for realz. nice birthday present, huh? :-) i just texted my other cousin and she said they JUS HAD dinner with him to celebrate HIS birthday.
@@waltrmitty bruh who your family??? 😭😭
to me this is one of the best drum covers ever, of any song or style
The most funky pop song you would listen to and with Cobus on the drums, EPIC.
Erm, could this guy get any cooler? Major props dude!
STILL WATCHING THIS ITS DECEMBER 18, 2019 I STILL LOVE COBUS'S DRUM COVERS
Mother of god! What impeccable fills, not one bit out of time even once. Amazing drumming. Think I prefer this to the original :)
hahaha nothing like an original
Check out sugar foot
@@cmoeller3 Sugarfoot's is authentic, this one is little more creative yet remains tight, i too prefer this over original, not putting down the original, but this is fun to listen to.
14 YEARS! and first time seeing this! I Am impressed! great DRUMMING!
that ride cymbal sounds sublime!!
you're one of those drummers that makes me want to practice after i see you play.... so i will
Almost 10 years later with COVID an all. I'm still here!
Mee too
1:05 oooohh are those *RIM SHOTS* ??😍 If so that fits perfectly into this section
Dude, that lead in fill still makes my jaw drop. And to think you're even better at playing now.
Best ever MJ drummer cover!
Just so unbelieveable how fluid his playing is every video impresses me to the highest degree
oh yeah I'm such a fan of your drum cover !!!!!!!!
One of the best examples of control and creativity I've seen. Spot on.
You sir put my drumming to shame.
the reason y i watch cobus play is cuz he knows his way around his set, he actually knows wat he's doin and isn't just beatin the shit out of the set, amazing cover dude mj would be proud
A remake would be great! I´m looking forward....
Watching this again for the first time in ten years… love it!!
His timing is so fucking on point!
A fucking metronome
+Lucas Chacon you ever used a metronome? it's almost harder to listen to that and play the song. dick.
Haa so right this guy doesn't know what he's talking about at all lol
michael bowman No he's saying the guy is like a metronome. Jesus all you people get so triggered.
You are a beautiful drummer and a joy to watch. Probably the best I've seen on youtube. Thanks for sharing your talent!
i can watch your video all day long you are soo amazing!!!!!
Very tight. Nice hat control and I dig the ghost feel.
fuc**** freak!!! great job!!!! awesome camera work, sound, and principally, your touch!! great technique!!
just outstanding! and what a great way to honour the king of pop! RIP Jacko
10 years later and im still here! Wonder how he would play it Now!!!!
i dont know why i always enjoying to watch cobus drumming
Michael: Annie are you O.K?
Annie: Yes i'm fine.
Michael: Annie are you O.K?
Annie: I just told you i'm fi..
Michael: Annie are you O.K?
Annie: Michael I'm FINE!
Michael: Annie are you O.K?
Annie: Yes..
Michael: O.K
I dont get why people always dis on cobus, saying he's overrated and things of that nature. I'm pretty sure over half of the people who say that don't know that he earned his way to where he is now. And for that, i give this guy my full respect. You're one of my main inspirations to play drums, cobus and thank you for all of the talent and entertainment that you give your fans. Truly inspiring, again thanks for everything you've done for us cobus! Stay rad!
2017 says hi man ... And says you are awesome!!!
One of the best by cover...I think
Fantastic performance dude :)
the best iv ever seen, phenominal sound and rythm
how come his drums can talk?! daym son!
Loool
You put all the drummers I know to shame!! This is the best drumming I've ever seen and I've seen so many.
I swear, I'm gonna marry you and your drums.
Like watch for 2018
Wow. I'm blown away man. You absolutely paid homage to this
3:51 How...Just, how???
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
for the 95 dislike this vid I personally guarntee this man can play drums better than anyone of you >
That blew my mind, I've watched this like 10 times in a row trying to figure those fills out! And the fact that he improvises all of this is just insane! Truly incredible! I love your vids Cobus! I only hope that one day I can play like that!
When you hear sugarfoot and then you came heree to listen the difference omg...
So who's better?
@@pataudi8025 sugarfoot ofc
@@G.O.X This song yes, but in the others I surprisingly find Cobus a Deal better.
hey jack
i like how cobus plays from the heart. its hard to find someone like that. sometimes its simple but he makes it go all together :)
it SOOOO gOOOOOOOOOOOOOOd
Best ever drum cover
10 yeas later...💓
This cover makes me so happy! it's just so great to see such a good drummer covering such a good song!!
better than the original ;-)
Then you don't know what you are talking about. This dude is good but no where near Sugarfoot level
2009 -2019 the very first drum cover I ever watched from you dude. Still my fav.
John Connor from The Sarah Connor Chronicles :D
Dê um like quem está assistindo em 2019! I'm Brazil 🇧🇷
Can't believe I stumbled on this now...your timing is unreal...big fan
2021 anyone?
A great drummer stay right on top of the beat- a nano second quicker- and that is Cobus- it is key in moving the beat forward. He is wonderful. His drum interpretations are always better than the originals-- love it.
Like and watch 2017
dude, just sick...I just playlisted all your stuff...this is gonna be a good day
LOL your older than coop3drumm3r i don't know that
And he's way better, Cooper is overrated.
nice quality video, and some of the best drums i have ever seen in my life
Beyond the talent...
There's a flawless technique with immaculate control!
Lekker Cobus!😁🙏
that is definately the sweetest sounding ride i've ever heard!
Man.... ensina eeeeeuuuuu 🙏 I'm from Brazil ^^ I loved your style. Show
I need to start playing drums again. fantastic cover! Magic!!
I've been watching your videos since probably 3 years, and this is the first time that i watch this video, this is actually in my opinion the best cover you've ever done...amazing, i wont get tired of listening/watching this...i'll download the audio from this video, will be in my mp3 in a few minutes (in the playlist of the audio from your other videos).
Sorry if I write wrong something, my real language is spanish, from Chile. Saludos !!!!
I'm still learning how to play the drums and I need to say this.....OUTSTANDING! I hope the Jackson family somehow watches this and maybe uses you for something down the line.
How's your drumming?
Dude you're freakin fun to watch. You have a unique attack style and strong as hell. From the few video's I've watched you're incredibly versitile. Jack of all Genre's !!!
Thanks for the video's bro!
It's just awesome to look at it. The way you play looks sooooo fluent. Well done!
Best recording setup ever?
Never heard sound as good as this for youtube videos. And, of course, AWESOME playing. Props, 5*.
you beat the crap outta those man! i love it. i play the same way. it's like, that's how they were made to be played like!
I've watched many drum covers by Cobus, this by far the best. Love the fills (y)
Unreal! I gotta believe your the best Voortrekker drummer ever!
wow this was my first ever cobus video i watched like a year ago and i still love it
what an awsome cover, insane drumming, michael jackson would have loved that.
im still watching your video until now. since 2008 ♥️♥️
Well I've played guitar for about 10 years, with a lotta bands, and I've always called drummers, "guys that hang out with musicians"..i recently bought a kit and im trying to learn. I have an insane amount of respect for drummers now haha. Not easy at all, but really rewarding
wooow, one of your best drumcovers so far! I love ur snare
Congratulations For The New Album. KEEP IT UP SIR From Allan David God Bless You So Much Sir From Allan David.
You are a genius!excellent!i have not words man,you are amazing
dude this cover was amazing! the fills were complex and still had perfect timing...keep up the good work bro
You have an amazing pocket! ANd perfect fills! great job
The Micheal Jackson groove took over my soul like a smooth criminal.......
Absolutely great, crisp, nice set-up!
Well done man!!
very good,you is the best drummer cover of michael jackson
Great tribute man. One of my all time favorite songs and you simply murdered it.
Wow!!! Amazing cover!!
Amazing!!!! This is pure amazing!!!!
I love how good u do your drum rolls, I used to have problems with them but got them down. Sweet drumming though...... you're pretty much one of the best drummers...if not, the best drummer on youtube.
BEST COVER DRUMMER ON TH-cam!!!
@DaddyDrums1 the "boom" from the snare in the chorus is a rimshot. the drum is made for loud, echoey rimshots like that.
Vicious timing bro Absolute drumming skills number 1!You Rock On Bra!
all i have to say, is this girl is in LOVE with you :D keep up the amazing work Cobus ♥ hopefully one day i can be half as good as you!!
Sorry you can't play cymbal at 2:49. It killed the groove. Please check Jonathan Moffett Sugarfoot's version on Drumeo on how to properly play it.
Oh...and where are your video uploads eh?
Dick.
I don't need an upload to tell crap. This is pure crap, sorry. No true fan of Michael Jackson will call this a good cover.
This cover deserve a 10 years challenge.
@coccinelsucrer
correction, i meant :
"I like the original better, but i think that's mostly due to the fact that i have so much respect for Michael and rather want his songs to remain untouched and unmodified. You're still amazing though!
WOW! LOVE this song! And your playing is INCREDIBLE!
How does your snare sound so incredibly incredible? I love it!
