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 :)

I seen this when i was in my early 20s, and i still come back to this video.
3:26 Tom Cruise!
1:06 to 1:10 dope...
oh man his snare is tuned so perfectly, couple that with the equally perfectly timed rimshots over the snare sound from MJs track. what a pleasant THWACK sound!

The sound of your kit makes me wet my pants :D
I'm so jealous : ( Mine sounds like poo ;(

3:25 BEST PART! If I could play like that I would have that reaction aswell :P kidding! I have to agree with my buddy 01Ralph 1:32 to 1:50 is amazing! Go Cobus!!! Forgive me Michaels fans but this cover kicks ass!!! F****n A!!!! xD
Look! this a magician, the best in his field. he's simply amazing.
This is one of my favourite videos of yours. I love the song, and I think you have done an amazing job capturing the energy of the song, giving the song what it needs, and having fun with it as well. Great job, I love watching your videos. They inspire me so much, and your playing has inspired me a lot over the last few years!

I think this is the best drum cover of any song on UA-cam it is INSANLY BEAST
that snare shure does POP on them rimshos! love it!
Dude your energy is freaking awesome..
He was so young yet talented. You're a prodigy Cobus. Every video of yours reminds me how talent comes from sincerity and humility. I started playing the drums watching your videos despite learning two other instruments already. No regrets. It's cross contributed into spicing up my playing with other instruments.
Welcome back to youtube! Its about time!!!
dude you're drumming is unique i love it
Guy....you rocked the hell out of that tune! This is the first time I ran into your videos.
Love it mate
your videos are real art! I like watching you playing, awesome!!! You're a real beast on drums! And what's also important is that you really enjoy what you're doing! I've seen drummers that play well but they don't have your energy and your passion! You're fantastic!
Amazing, THE best drummer on youtube.
No contest..
amazing really amazin mj its been proud for this
i do love all your covers cobus they are pretty amazing, all the energy you out into them and you obviosuly enjoy every second of it which is very rare to see in covers, and thats why i enjoy them so much =D, awesome playing and those hi-hat rythms are tottaly amazing, much respect

this is my favorite, awesome!
I LOVE YOU COBUS
Your great buddy, the biggest compliment i can say to you is. There are so many amazing drummers, your amazing AND you look like you love the music and you have a passion. Thats one in a million and it only adds to the feel

DAAAMNNNN!!!man ! you are incredible

OMFG MAN ILOVE YOUR STYLE!
What else can I say that hasn't already been said? Except that of all the Cobus vids I've watched in amazement - this is my fave. I am admittedly a "toms" junkie, and the work you do at 1:35 is genius. I'm a bass player - did I see that your DVD includes bass jams as well?
-bruce
no one else could do a drum cover to M.J but you made it rock!
Outstanding job. Michael will be greatly missed.
FUck yeah! best drummer on youtube and this is like one of the best song by MJ. May he R.I.P
Best Drummer on youtube =)
