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!
I bought this cd right when it came out in the 90's and still love it. I have always loved drums and when i finally got some the divorce sell came lol! Great beating man,i hope you're in a band by now.
what I love most of all is that this guy actually smiles when he's playing drums which is what I'm actually looking for in any kind of cover that I watch, passion.
this song has sentimental value to me as for my dad and I used to listen to this all the time when i was a kid. Now he has passed and i heard this for the first time and that bond we have with this song has grown. Props to you young sir for doing what you do.
I`ve used to play drums way back in the days and seeing someone ejoying, absorbing and breathing drums like you makes me happy inside. No matter what the other say or no matter how much money you`re NOT getting right now...let me tell you: You`ve set a milestone in drumming and perception/view on it. You`re freaking good at what you do and you will inspire generations to come.. You`ve done your job. The finances will come. And soon. Cheers to you
(2021) - I searched for thumbthumping here on YT as I would like to listen to good stuff '90s for nostalgia, and when I listened to the orignal I felt a little off and doubted if that was the original and I remembered this drum cover and listened to the song with it. My head, already registered that this was the original beat, damn you Cobus! P.S. Please make a re-cover of this.
just introduced my brother to your channel as he used to drum.... HE LOVES what he sees. I think he might look into playing a little again. THANK YOU for your talent!!
i love watching the making of a pro-drummer that WILL change the drumming/musical world. thanks for everything you've done to inspire me, you're the soul reason i started drumming.
when a person is born with a gift, it must be used well and never left behind.. keep sharing your gift with us cobus, you're doing this freaking fucking great
i think what sells his video's and why i believe him is that he looks happy and actually smiles while doing it. i love watching all of these videos keep it up!
1:45-1:46 the first time I saw it I was like."WTF JUST HAPPENED?!" I had to replay it a couple of times to see it. DAMN!! THAT WAS FAST! I like how he seems to have fun while playing.He's one of the best drummers I've ever seen.He's gonna go places! Keep it up man!
i havent seen any new drumb covers cobus. i miss them. but i always check. your still the best so far that ive seen. your studies must be really keeping your busy, getting your degree. thats important. your doing great. love the drums. really like the way you are all over the drums in this video. i dont see that often.. teach the old dogs new tricks...
2 things happened when i stared watching this cover. 1) The power of Cobus shined through as always and 2) This song made me reminisce on a music video that to this day i never understood what that woman's role singing those backing vocals in a pub was in relation to the meaning behind the song. I thought it was his mother trying to say put your drinking days behind you or something, but clearly with a song title like "Tubthumping". It doesn't look like things worked out.
cobus!! man i know probably don't get bac to most ur comments but honestly you've been my biggest drum hero all the way from ur face down,grand theft autum, bat country covers...but this one ... makes me remember why i just jam songs!! those quad kicks/symbols r too epic !!
hey cobus whatever you do, just dont start doing extra special stuff to make you look like 'the man', cuz we know that you just do what you do, and THATS why we love you! ive seen so many people start to do extras and suddenly nobody likes em anymore. just be yourself and do what you do!
Dude if I was your neighbor Cobus, I would encourage you to wake me up in the middle of the night with your drums. Keep these videos coming, your a beast. :P
Cobus, you're awesome! you really are. This and all of your covers is unique and amazing! I'm a fan! I just have a comment! I think that when you play the ride doesn't sounds loud enough and sometimes it's difficult to recognize the sound in a fill! But I really admire you! You're unbelievable! Good job!
I love what you do with the cymbal in this video!! I have whached all of your videos, and this is the most beatiful song of yours, make sure !! :) Congratilations for you, keep working well like this! sorry for my english, :P
Dictionary: Cobus- a person from a drumming plannet that if touches a song with its magical powers, it automatically turns the song to a whole new level of awesome :DD
You are just awesome! I always watch your videos before I get behind my drums, you have inspired me so much, I can't thank you enough! You are the man, keep up the very good work and I'm already waiting for your next video! ;D Cheers!
@Drum4evr22 Indeed so, my friend. The good times my father and I shared were that of the greatest moments of my life and this song, without a doubt, brings me back to those moments.
You're a fantastic drummer and to me it's apparent that you derive your style from Carter Beauford. I especially liked your snare and hi-hat and ride works. Nice going man!
I wasn't saying anything anything against it. I was merely pointing it out thinking others might find it amusing and such, but what you said was uncalled for.
@ImInCommand I'm really rusty on proper terms. It's a triplet, plus..one more. If you count a measure like 1&a 2&a 3&a 4&a, it's snare snare tom tom on 3&a4. Sorry if I'm not helping whatsoever!
man,after i hear you,i only hear the song in your version.Its amazing!you got the spirit of the real musician.you are my inspiration of playing drums and im sure then everybody thinks this too.and sorry about my english.i dont practice a lot.and a final question,the udrums are really good?
Dude, i love this song. This is no doubt one of the best covers ive ever seen. what the hell do you do in that groove 2:10? i'm truely amazed by it. huge fan :) get the next series up! :D
@Nick374a i know that his kit that he is using now is basically sponsored and the studio were he records is a friends of his. Its all on his info on his channel
@Halomad10 Some people are that gifted and really feel music.. its unbelivable i try so hard to be this good and i see people all the time that are just lke whatever but are sitll brilliant musicians
Que queeee? que queeeee? WTFFFF? el mejor cover de esa cancion, es este! Que dices? cuando tu hagas esoooo? si miras bien eres el unico comentario anormal! Cobus, el mejor baterista youtuber
Cobus, how do you get around copywriting. I've posted 6 covers and have got copyright claims on all of them? BTW I love your videos and can't wait to see more. Thanks for the awesome covers and channels.
Okay.... So the fill at 2:20 you just a single pedal for a really awesome fill then at like 2:22 all you have to do is hit the bass 3 times and you use your double pedals. Your just awesome Cobus!
@EpicPlayer3 he's playing the ride, the hi-hat, the snare, and he's hitting the hi-hat rod and the wingnut on the ride. I'm not even going to begin to try to guess at the pattern, but that's the idea, lol
@haydesj He used to record in a empty church at night time. I watched his documentary/DVD and he said hes actually never has had noise complaints, even at his home.

@DFElender1 thanks you, good sir. it feels nice to know that there are people on youtube that actually have souls and care about others. thanks man.
I get chills through my body.
Cobus you have to make more covers like this!
hey cobus whatever you do, just dont start doing extra special stuff to make you look like 'the man', cuz we know that you just do what you do, and THATS why we love you! ive seen so many people start to do extras and suddenly nobody likes em anymore. just be yourself and do what you do!
You still make me happy Cobus. Its great. Much love forever!!!
Dude if I was your neighbor Cobus, I would encourage you to wake me up in the middle of the night with your drums. Keep these videos coming, your a beast. :P
So glad you did this song. Its great, and it needs to be listened to more.
Cobus, you're awesome! you really are. This and all of your covers is unique and amazing! I'm a fan! I just have a comment! I think that when you play the ride doesn't sounds loud enough and sometimes it's difficult to recognize the sound in a fill! But I really admire you! You're unbelievable! Good job!

hes so good at improvising that you dont notice mistakes!!!
i love how u add in those trigger cymbal hits right before EVERY chorus entry :D
I love how you can't find any version of this song on TH-cam, lyrics, live, other drum covers with more views than this one.
@Drum4evr22 Indeed so, my friend. The good times my father and I shared were that of the greatest moments of my life and this song, without a doubt, brings me back to those moments.
WOW! AMAZING! One of the best and enjoyable drummers I've seen!
what the fuck. this guy is like literally the best improv drummer and drummer all around i have ever seen. i wanna have his skill someday.
Excelenteeeee CobusPotgierter , volver a recordar este tema del juego FIFA 99
Just got my tickets today to see him in February at UDrum in Burlington Ont. I'm stoked!!!!!
Had to come back to this one. I wonder if Cobus ever imagined his covers being viewed by millions of people?
@HHSbass4 Sometimes his beats just gets complicated and our brains cannot comprehend his awesomeness. He's a drum legend for goodness sake, COBUS FTW.
Really, really good. Think that's an understatement. Good for you!
You're a fantastic drummer and to me it's apparent that you derive your style from Carter Beauford. I especially liked your snare and hi-hat and ride works. Nice going man!
LOL - Oh my...yes, what he did there at 2:14 made me laugh in hysterics. This cat never ceases to amaze me...
dude that kit is my dream now, i wonder how amazing it is in person
I wasn't saying anything anything against it. I was merely pointing it out thinking others might find it amusing and such, but what you said was uncalled for.
I keep watching this over and over and over....
It's fantastic :)
@EruptionEV they were still spazzing out from the greatness that is cobus and managed to miss the like button by that much
that beat in the verses are so hard! every time i watch u i feel depressed knowing i'll never be that good lol
Best drum cover for the song, so far!
You are amazing !!!
those drum beats knocked me down and i couldnt get back up... just that sick!!! keep it up YEA!
@ImInCommand I'm really rusty on proper terms. It's a triplet, plus..one more. If you count a measure like 1&a 2&a 3&a 4&a, it's snare snare tom tom on 3&a4. Sorry if I'm not helping whatsoever!
cobus you rock man i like all you're drum covers they are fantastic
So awesome wish I was that good I love playing the drums
@RkFxOfficial dont move your or adjust your kit and becomes like 2nd nature.. im a rank amature, but it works..i just cant get over these beats!!
the 3 on the bass drum while he does the 3 on the splashes is fantastic
man,after i hear you,i only hear the song in your version.Its amazing!you got the spirit of the real musician.you are my inspiration of playing drums and im sure then everybody thinks this too.and sorry about my english.i dont practice a lot.and a final question,the udrums are really good?

Cobus, how do you get around copywriting. I've posted 6 covers and have got copyright claims on all of them? BTW I love your videos and can't wait to see more. Thanks for the awesome covers and channels.
Well done dude. Keep playing up!!
One of the reasons i like Cobus so much is because he Re-Tunes his drums for each song...
The best Drum Cover that i have see

You are AWESOME !! :D
I absolutly love your way of druming!
You bring inspiration to all drummers who watches your videos! :)
Okay....
So the fill at 2:20 you just a single pedal for a really awesome fill
then at like 2:22 all you have to do is hit the bass 3 times and you use your double pedals.
Your just awesome Cobus!
That title deserves my like AND favorite even before playing the video.
@EpicPlayer3 he's playing the ride, the hi-hat, the snare, and he's hitting the hi-hat rod and the wingnut on the ride. I'm not even going to begin to try to guess at the pattern, but that's the idea, lol
@haydesj He used to record in a empty church at night time. I watched his documentary/DVD and he said hes actually never has had noise complaints, even at his home.
i love your splash at 1min46 its so nice xD
