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!
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.
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
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
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!
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 ❤️🙏
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 !!
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!
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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/
Ok so this is my 250th view of this ..dude i might be alil obsessed..this def made my Christmas cobus!!! With all the confusion and sadness in the world and America right now...this drumming gives me hope! I love watching you drum cause its truly entertaining. And inspiring...Christmas eve 2020
Hey Cobus. Groete en seen uit Suid-Afrika. Dis soooo lekker om jou steeds dop te hou op die drums. Ek love hoe jy die musiek geniet! Kap dit uit, brother! Mag liefde, guns en vrede jou omring hierdie Kersfees deur Sy teenwoordigheid. Hey Cobus. Greetings and blessings from South Africa. It is soooo good to keep watching you play the drums. I love the way you enjoy the music. Keep going, brother. May love, favour and peace surround you this Christmas through His presence.
Cobus! I’ve been watching you since you started playing on UA-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!
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

😆😆😆❤
Every once in a while I just go back and watch this cause its so unbelievably awesome.
Pretty sure Cobus is the decendant of the orginal drummer boy.
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!

@@cobuspotgieter that surprise didn't disappoint
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!!!!
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!
!!!!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.

One year later, still my favorite Cobus cover ever

*The only acceptable Christmas music I will allow myself to listen to.*
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*
Legend has it...this song is actually prophetic, foretelling the birth and subsequent development of Cobus: The Dummer boy!
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 I clean the drool off of my face and I stop smiling, I'll be subscribing! Absolutely amazing!
Cobus you are absolutely one of my favorite drummers of all time. You are so great.
"The perfect Christmas carol doesn't exi-"
"Oh."
"Okay then."
After watching this guy for three plus years now, this is by far my favorite video!!!
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.
3:05 - Amazing! My favorite version of this song and you just crushed it!
Do you know the version of the song? I can’t find it anywhere
Thanks for the early Christmas gift! 🎁 🎄😀
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

- fellow drummer
That hit the spot, there's my Christmas spirit! at 2:05 I actually started laughing out of joy. Cobus you're a magnificent inspiration.
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!
Bringing the heat once again! The Cobra never disappoints 💯

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!
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.
SO GOOD! The cymbals were singing. The independence was awesome. Finessed the set...... Wow. Just...... Wow!
your drumming videos are by far the best on youtube. Best drumsound, camera angles and style
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
Cobus you are a legend I’ve been watching you for 12 years performing on YT, you are awesome. 👍

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.
Cobus, you just gave me goosebumps! You played them for Him 👑 Love ya dude, can’t wait to see what you come up with in the New Year 🎉
Impeccable, smooth and hard hitting. A joy to watch!
This guy blows my mind, I love it! Lots of people can drum but not everyone drums from the inside out.
I always expect the "COME ON!!" shout at the end of this. So so good!!
THE YELLOW CUP IS BACK
Energy drinks & Coke 😂
not forgetting to mention the straw...!
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.
