What up from 2023 Cobus 👋🏼 If you liked this video: I just uploaded a video where I learn an A7X video from the latest album! If you're keen, watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/ZVf0dSUJIrY/v-deo.html
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!
Can't believe this was 13 years ago. Tears start to fall... All those years ago, a 15 year old boy watching the best cover of afterlife.. and here we go again 😢
When I first entered Canadian High school, I sat down one afternoon and listened to a Full Playlist of Cobus' drum covers. They made me fall further in love with drumming. Thank You.
Rob Fulco I agree with OP. If you're feeling the music, it shouldn't matter if it's old, it can still have energy and feeling. This is an old video and Cobus' new vids are much higher quality.
Higher quality video doesn't equal better performance. The patterns and fills he would be playing would not be the same and could possibly ruin the cover just as much as it COULD possibly be better. But why chance it? The only way to keep moving forward is to not go backward.
Probably the main reason it won't happen is because this song isn't quite relevant these days anyway. I'm pretty much over it by now. But I'll watch Cobus drum anything, it's always good.
I remember seeing your video eleven years ago as a freshman in high school, crazy how time flies and this is STILL the best drum cover of this song out there!
There's so much energy with the way you play! That's what the songs needs of course with every instrument and vocalist but you really did a good job! :D
2023 and i just searched for 3 hours to find this video. still the best cover of this song ever! i get disappointed when i dont hear the cowbell hit when its supposed to when i listen to the original. great work brother!!!!
I'm fairly sure this was recorded in multiple takes. The PST logo on the ride switches from top to bottom quite a few times in the video. Also at 3:11 in the video Cobus is moving his stick up towards the ride but on the very next shot at 3:13 it's back down on the bow.
Matthew Lake It's not necessarily a bad thing but Cobus should be able to play a song all the way through without the need for multiple takes. I've jammed this song many times and have never managed to mess it up. It is good however with the Quadrum series that he didn't use multiple takes as it allows the viewer to appreciate it more knowing that Cobus could do it in one go rather than having to do it multiple times.
Scott Bainbridge Look, all im saying is that he took several takes of this song. He might not have taken breaks. Im in a video class and I understand why he did that. I would rather watch a video that changes angles and gives you perspectives of what he does than just one camera in one place. I agree that he should have watch out for that. What I would have done, and this is advice for you Cobus, have multiple cameras recording you for about three sessions and then use the footage, because some people are nit-pickey online...(Ahem) but still, I see where your coming from.
Watching Cobus drumming is something so particular... the more you listen to him and watch him playing, the more you get motivated for your next session. And you know you are going to have a lot of fun.
2011... god, I can perfectly remember the times in which I watched this video over and over again... such a great job Cobus, 2017 now and this still looks and sounds like a recent product.
Legit, anytime that I wish to hear this song I have to listen to this version. Not only are the fills much better but that triangle strike during that rest makes this song 10 x’s better. I can’t imagine it without it. (No disrespect to Rev meant)
Ashamed to say that I forgot that you existed. You got me through that last hear of highschool my guy, got home everyday to practice on the drums thanks to you! I don't know how you popped back up in my notifications but boy am I happy. Time to binge some nostalgia!
+Reverend PT he records the song a couple of times and if he messes up a little part he replaces with one of the other versions, it just makes his life easier lol
+priyanuz deka Drumsticks vary in weight and length, and they break surprisingly easily when played at a certain force; maybe he needed heavier or lighter sticks for that particular part? I'm not completely certain, but it's a possibility :3
Devara F fYI arin was actually a good drummer, with the hail to the king he wanted to do double oedal and complex stuff but the band said they wanted something more simple and strong, so he only did what they told, wasn't his fault that album was shit
Hace 11 años yo veía tus vídeos y en ese entonces y ahora sigo pensando que eres uno de los mejores bateristas y este cover es el mejor que hay de esta canción
I watched this for the first time in 2008, but when i watched agained now in 2018, the feeling is still the same. U really nailed these drum cover, every beats is exactly the same, plus u really enjoyed when u played the drums. 👍💯

REV himself is looking down from a cloud - both fists in the air!!!
2020 and still THE best drum cover of the song I've ever heard
DaedalusProps agree
He’s simply brilliant!
Agree
Yeah🤘🤘🤘
💯 🔥
Can't believe this was 13 years ago. Tears start to fall... All those years ago, a 15 year old boy watching the best cover of afterlife.. and here we go again 😢
NEW & UPDATED version of this cover! -> ua-cam.com/video/wErfX3XRm_4/v-deo.html (I remembered to press record on the Foot Cam this time)
You forgot to push record? 🤣
@@soup_.69 in his first cover.
I love the bell touch at 1:44 it's perfect and every time I hear anyone play this song and it's not there I miss it 😂
Same :D
Daaamn, I remember seeing this back when he first uploaded this, and I’m back here in 2020! one of my favorites covers! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 hands down!!!
Me too 😭
When I first entered Canadian High school, I sat down one afternoon and listened to a Full Playlist of Cobus' drum covers. They made me fall further in love with drumming. Thank You.
You should rec this one again
Alana Feliciano huh
Wouldn't have the same energy and feel. Never does when you rehash old stuff trying to "improve" it.
Rob Fulco I agree with OP. If you're feeling the music, it shouldn't matter if it's old, it can still have energy and feeling. This is an old video and Cobus' new vids are much higher quality.

please remake this song!!! EPIC!
🏔️
Hey vlug i am fan of your fishing video bro. Small world hahaha
Ya lo había hecho y borro el vídeo :(
Halo bang apa kabar Indonesia
Yes please 🙏
I watched this video in 2008. Time flies. Still the best cover.
Watched this 15 years ago when it was released, and still watching it in 2024. Easily the best drum cover of this song.
at 1:42 muffins are ready
Genius XD
Really funny 😸
this made my day
Hahahaha! XD
Radisa Rachmadi are you deef?
Still my favorite drummer of all time! Shout out from Indonesia
Who? Cobus?
I remember seeing your video eleven years ago as a freshman in high school, crazy how time flies and this is STILL the best drum cover of this song out there!
Hope you've seen the latest version. He played much cleaner in that
1:43 food's ready
lol
TO LOL _-
AHAHAHHAHAHAA
HAHAHAHAHAA
Max Stolz genius
Damn, so much passion in that face. Play your heart out Cobus!! More talent in one foot than any other UA-cam drummer has in their whole body!
There's so much energy with the way you play! That's what the songs needs of course with every instrument and vocalist but you really did a good job! :D
If you want energy, look at some of Matt McGuire's stuff
We have fantastic drummers today, but probably will not see a genius like The Rev again.
rev is great but have you heard of Danny Carey and gavin Harrison
TheCrazyhumans Yes, but these are old, I am talking about a new generation.
+Cezar Shevshenko Jay Postones? Tony Royster Jr? They're roughly the same age and ages better
TFW you're so out of tune with the drumming world
I mean RIP and all, but he is not a standout drummer by any means at all.
2023 and i just searched for 3 hours to find this video. still the best cover of this song ever! i get disappointed when i dont hear the cowbell hit when its supposed to when i listen to the original. great work brother!!!!
1:42 THE FOOD IS READY
bell school
@@sumner250 hOW mUcH is In tHe BIN?
I'm sure The Rev is proud of you bro!
You see the kid 11 years old from thailand seached is more awesome or the black kid 7 years old playing bat country is awesome
Yup. Still the best drum cover I’ve heard to date.
I love this guy videos cause he is so much fun to watch!!!! He loves what he does and has fun doing it.
2021 and that cowbell still hits the spot
i;ve been watching this for 10 years now, and havent found a better cover than this.
7 years later and you're touring with one of the biggest bands in the UK.
what band?
Panji Herlambang Busted
+Panji Herlambang Busted, check out his latest vids :).
Summit 7 years later and no jimmy ;-;
10 years for the Knifemastah, bro. Still counting.
Back to 2011 randomly hear my senior at school play this video... and today realised this is still the best drum cover ever 🤘🤘
Watching 2024🤘
Me watching it in 2025
Can't be the only one watching this in 2023?
I remember watching this in high school in like 2009 😮

+Vishal Giridhar Same
my god I'm so happy for u

The video is made out of several recordings yup. You can also see that the red cup behind him is changing its direction (look at the handle)
Does that even matter? That means he played this song several times. That's not a bad thing.
Matthew Lake I would say it does matter but it is not necessarily a bad thing ;-)

Watching Cobus drumming is something so particular... the more you listen to him and watch him playing, the more you get motivated for your next session. And you know you are going to have a lot of fun.
Can't be the only one watching this on 2024?
You’re not alone
Not alone at all
What about 25?
4:55 Awesome! Oct 2019!!!

Was The Rev your father, because that was fucking awesome! Good work man! :) \m/
Randomly found a recent video and thought the person looked familiar. What a blast from the past. 14 years ago jesus. Still enjoy watching you at 30.
Better than Arin for sure!!!
You right man
LOL ! are u fckn kidding us ???????????
that is just improvement of original ! he's skill was not same as ARIN.
he might have different excellence !
Stop chatting shit. Arin sucks, Cobus would be so much better!
Alex051993 how the fuck does Arin suck?
I didn't say he sucks, I just said Cobus is better...
2019
Hadir. Dowload ini pas masih smp. Lagi awal2 belajar drume. Hehe
More Cowbell.
I love Saturday night live yolo
2011... god, I can perfectly remember the times in which I watched this video over and over again... such a great job Cobus, 2017 now and this still looks and sounds like a recent product.
4:53 ¡¡¡Fuck Yeah!!!. :'D
nov 2019 and still overwhelming!
Try doing a drum cover for M.I.A by Avenged Sevenfold please. I'm sure you gonna do a great job.
Legit, anytime that I wish to hear this song I have to listen to this version. Not only are the fills much better but that triangle strike during that rest makes this song 10 x’s better. I can’t imagine it without it. (No disrespect to Rev meant)
What's that around 1:43? sounds cool haha
ikr xD
+emerald its an electronic sound played from the edrum pad he has. the black stuff is all eletronic
He put a cowbell sound on a edrum

Ashamed to say that I forgot that you existed. You got me through that last hear of highschool my guy, got home everyday to practice on the drums thanks to you! I don't know how you popped back up in my notifications but boy am I happy. Time to binge some nostalgia!
He definitely looks like Suarez. 😂
am i the ONLY One who noticed the cup moving???
Sik Sensei Hahahahahaha.
Sik Sensei where?
Sik Sensei wtf? he recorded part by part?
or is it the rev's spirit that is constantly cheking if there is beer inside the red cup? xD
Reverend PT the rev was still alive when this was posted....
+Reverend PT he records the song a couple of times and if he messes up a little part he replaces with one of the other versions, it just makes his life easier lol
Gg legend😊🎉
The fact you did this and it isn't hit for hit exact and has your own style to it is epic
2018????
2019
indonesia yg kek gini mh
Two off

Why did he changed the drumsticks??

Still coming back, i dunno why. For me u are the best afterlife drummer cover
Discovered this 6 years ago.. had to come back to have a listen to this beauty of a cover!
i've seen this cover more than 9 years ago but still the best cover so far..keep it up bro!
Hace 11 años yo veía tus vídeos y en ese entonces y ahora sigo pensando que eres uno de los mejores bateristas y este cover es el mejor que hay de esta canción
Actually, every day I watch this video four to five times..... Sir, you are amazing.
This was the first cover I watched of him and cause of him I started to listen to Avenged Sevenfold, this is still one of my favorite covers of him
11M views 11k comments 11 years ago. The best drum cover ever. Watched this a decade ago!
If someone should be proud of his own past it has to be Cobus.. Masterpiece of the masterpiece!
2017 and I’m still watching this. Best ever man
I watched this for the first time in 2008, but when i watched agained now in 2018, the feeling is still the same. U really nailed these drum cover, every beats is exactly the same, plus u really enjoyed when u played the drums. 👍💯

The best video from Cubus. No doubt about this one!
Having a drink and reminiscing all the things I used to listen to way back when. 15 Years on, STILL AS WICKED AS EVER!

This isnt even a cover. This is just pure improv and i love it
