I think we all won. This has been one of the most fun videos I've watched since the pandemic started and I'm so thankful for ya'll putting this together. Cobus, Casey and Sweetwater. Thank you all.
As a drummer that doesn't follow either of these guys, I can objectively say it's not even close between these two. Cobus has way better stick technique, wrist strength, and timing......which is most important. Not too mention he obviously has better chops and feel.
yea im not gonna lie there are prob so many drummers leagues beyond cooper who rnt famous idk why he's that famous tbh not even tryna hate on him he's just not that good i guess he lacks creativity and just plays fast singles lol
This means a lot for us who grew up watching these two. This seems like a throwback to the good old 2000s' and 2010s' when we were still trying to learn drums while being absolutely awed by Cobus' and Cooper's covers. Cobus showed us the beast behind his incredibly methodological and versatile playing prowess and totally deserved the win, but Cooper put up a good show as well by keeping up and displaying his hard-hitting playing style! These two are incredibly amazing drummers, and I'd love to see them do more stuff together in the future.
The winner is Nick D’Virgilio because he just showing off his skills as a referee, drummer, and commentator. But, nice work Casey and Cobus amazing drumming 🥁!
It was a bit closer than I thought it would be, but Ref Nick definitely won. Great performance guys, very nicely done video. Thanks Sweetwater for doing this, made for a great video!
Let’s be honest they put they hard work in this battle but I know everyone won because nobody is better than someone else. 🥁🥁 CONGRATULATIONS FOR BOTH OF THEM USING THERE TALENT TOGETHER LEARNING WHAT TO PRACTICE ON! 😀
I'm so glad they did this I've always wanted to see those two go head to head Ther both my favorite drummers on UA-cam I never thought it would actually happen
Men, that's was, indeed, really fun! I didn't know Coopers, and he actually impressed me. But still I see Cobus as more versatile, faster and creative. Congrats for the event, I enjoyed a lot.
This was a decade in the making. I’m glad my personal favorite came out on top but it’s these kinda events that bring music to life and it’s truly inspiring. Great job Cobus and Cooper (biased but especially Cobus😉) and Mr. D’Virgilio ofc!! 💙
I love how Nick D’Virgilio is the ring announcer, commentator, and ref at the same time!!!! I watched part of this on Facebook and it’s pretty funny!!! And that “LLLLLET’S GET READY TO DRUM ROOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!! And on top of that, he’s wearing a tux!!! As far as I’m concerned, Nick won this hands down!!!!
i was thinking the ref was gonna raise his hands and declare himself winner lol. on a serious note this was BEAUTIFULLY done. everything about this was fantastic i couldn’t stop smiling the whole way through. two amazing drummers. well done 👍
@@andrewworrall4302 Jammer, ek kan nie praat baie Afrikaans nie, I was born speaking English and wasn’t taught proper Afrikaans in primary school, so I’m really struggling to understand and speak Afrikaans
Even though Casey brought me into drumming I must side with cobus here. But the double bass without throne is pretty cool. Real winners are the viewers because I haven't seen a drum video with this good quality and production in my life.
I backed Cobus ever since I heard about this, and after watching, I still fully believe he won this. That said, Cooper earned some of my respect - he did far better than I expected him to in all of this. Also, Nick killed it - drumming and otherwise! Thank you to everyone who put this on, truly fun to watch!
I started playing drums because of COOPER 🔥🔥🔥and I learnt HEEL TOE because of COBUS🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥! I literally started liking drums when Cooper posted his AMERICA'S GOT TALENT video and since I never left drums thanks cooperdrummer 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Casey was a lot cleaner and on time than I was expecting after watching his videos, he's a great drummer but he's usually more flash than precision so I have a new respect for him. Cobus was incredible as always so I really can't pick a winner! Great video and one of the most entertaining drum battles I have ever seen! Hats off to both of you!
Singles on double bass is something you definitely have to practice regularly to maintain, but I'm genuinely surprised to know he mostly does doubles on double bass!
Great work setting this up, Sweetwater! This was much more entertaining to watch than a straightforward drum-off. Loved the various challenges they had to do and those giant sticks! Fairly even throughout but I pick Cobus as the winner.
Cooper is no slouch and I think he gets unfairly labeled as a showman with mediocre abilities, but yeah overall Cobus is more skilled. Nick is better than both of them though.
5:44 - 5:54 Cobus’ overall dynamic awareness is a little more evident throughout the battle. Casey’s power and confidence did play in his favour though. 8:07 Cobus reveals a slight weakness (like we all have) which is singles on double bass. He compensates this with crazy speed on heel-toe doubles shown on quite a few of his videos. 9:56 - 10:04 another example of what I mean about dynamics; Casey didn’t look as comfortable as Cobus but, once again, redeemed himself on his next opportunity at 10:08 with power, confidence and great showmanship. The funk track that Casey played at 11:32 was, in my opinion, his best display of dynamic awareness; very well executed. 19:59 the stank face that began to set Cobus on the right path to winning this this battle... 22:13 in my opinion, Cobus’ best display of dynamics! 23:08 my favorite fill played by Casey! 23:43 without a doubt, the stank face that gave Cobus the victory... Loved the video guys! Two highly accomplished drummers, yet such down to earth guys; always fun to watch. Been following your work for so many years and it seriously amazes me to see how much you still do to continue inspiring millions of people with your drumming. Muchas gracias for doing that!
Watching this with my twins sons right now, they really love the video, now they take a pillow and hive one each, and imitate it right away... Man! I lovd this... Someday they might become like this two best drummer's. Now, they add a beat of their own.. It's so fun doing their own beat with their mouth... Espicially the double pedalss....
People need to realise that Cooper and Cobus have different posture and different technique. Cooper has longer arms and legs so his posture LOOKS like he's less technical, but that's far from the case. Cobus just "fits" better behind the kit and to everyone he seems cleaner than Casey. But the fact is, they're on a very very similar level and are both very gifted drummers. For this battle, my vote goes to Cobus by a hair!
Both drummers are freaking amazing. I've been a huge Cobus fan for years, but it looks like there may be a shift in loyalty here. I have to give this to Casey Cooper. I can't believe Cobus didn't know the iconic Van Halen intro. Either way, both of these guys are amazing.
This was great! I'm an elementary school music teacher and I have been working on rhythm with my classes. I showed sections of this video over the course of a few weeks. The kids had a blast and were super excited the whole way through. This helped inspire my students with percussion instruments. Even if they don't continue to pursue music, this video showed them how much fun music and musicians can be. Thanks Sweetwater, Cooper, and Cobus!
Great "enemies" lead up and promo's to a good-hearted drum battle! Personally, I think it was the one-handed "handcuff" challenge that won it for Cobus! hahahaha! I'd like to see more "friendly enemies" drum battles! The world could use the "friendly enemies" message! Although pretty even, Cobus for the win! And hat's off to the production crew and team that created this battle!
What an absolute insane pair of drummers. While I am on team Cobus (Quibbius) as he was the guy who inspired me to play drums. Seeing a different style of drummers come together for a bit of fun and make possibly the funniest drumming video other than Mike Portnoy... Bravo. Quibbius has been unbelievably unlucky with the UA-cam algorithm, and I admit seeing Cooper rise on UA-cam while my hero didn't have the same stardom made me a bit biased. I wasn't a fan of Cooper. This changed my mind completely. While I wish Quibbius had the same Stardom as Cooper, fuck me Cooper is insane. They both deserve to be praised. If you're a fan of Quibbius then go support Cooper. If you're a fan of Cooper, go show Quibbius some love. I guarantee it'll be worth it. Both these guys are unbelievable.
I didn't even realize there was a competition, I just paused right before round 3 to give my opinion, And when Nick joined that was Goldust for me. Sorry im a month late, Don't care about the competition, all I said above still stands. Any drummer who has lost their inspiration has won this competition. Its reignited a spark for me, and if it lights a spark for anyone else, even one person. Then its a win.
The Oscar goes to Nick D'Virgilio for best performance of a cheesey commentator and ringmaster.. And Nick's wardrobe people for the shiny sports coat!..
I declare myself the winner, for being able to have witnessed this!!!! If we’re giving out second place trophies though, I suppose the Glorious and Majestic Cobus gets that one.
@@mistergenin21 There are some other things that Cobus has done are unmatched. Or simpler, even his double bass patterns or single pedal slide technique are very hard to do at that perfection.
@@pataudi8025 I've been watching Cobus since 2008 and I would say that the way Cobus plays is really unique and elegance also cleanliness is one of his greatest perk.

I did appreciate a lot of the fills and grooves of both these guys. With love for both sides, I am bound by my conscience to give Cobus the win. Gotta love the guy's chops and tightness ❤️
This drum battle shows you how both drummers have different playing styles & still having fun while performing. That’s what it’s all about. Im going for cooper and loved the 1st challenge of horse DRUM

This is some of the most enjoyable UA-cam content I’ve ever seen. Fantastic work!
Now we need Cobus vs Jared Falk and finally put that old school rivalry to bed
Jared would cry in his sleep
Unfair battle, Jared is technical, Cobus has epic chops, each is the best in their way.
Cobus won this without a doubt. Cobus has more musicality to his playing and his playing is really clean and on point. 😊
We can fight next 😛
Let’s be honest they put they hard work in this battle but I know everyone won because nobody is better than someone else. 🥁🥁 CONGRATULATIONS FOR BOTH OF THEM USING THERE TALENT TOGETHER LEARNING WHAT TO PRACTICE ON! 😀
You guys are amazing, 30 minutes of my life well spent. Thank you for your entertainment.
Been subscribed to Cobus for more than 10 years. Already know he's going to win.
EDIT: Well, fancy that.
I started watching Cobus back when he was playing in that church in South Africa. He totally won!
Yes! Angels and Airwaves - Call to arms.
And he was a MONSTER even back then.
Cobus won imo. He's more technical and I like his feel better.
I'm so glad they did this I've always wanted to see those two go head to head Ther both my favorite drummers on UA-cam I never thought it would actually happen
Everyone: being excited for Paul vs mayweather
Drummers: 😒
Actually, in all honesty, Nick was the champ. He was incredibly entertaining to watch! But as for the drum battle.... Cobus all the Way.
Men, that's was, indeed, really fun! I didn't know Coopers, and he actually impressed me. But still I see Cobus as more versatile, faster and creative. Congrats for the event, I enjoyed a lot.

I'm gonna have to give it to Cobus! Definitely the most creative 🤘🏼
