Thumbs up if you're watching this in 2021 😎

[czubai]

I remember watching the old video when it was new.
Dude, we're old.

[kirjian]

He closed his eyes during that last chorus to summon forth muscle memory from 10 years ago

Thanks for 10 (or 13!) INCREDIBLE years. My life would (quite literally) suck without you ❤️

ALSO: I'm releasing an instructional drum lesson pack for the first time in 8 years this coming January, and I'd love your suggestions! If there has ever been a groove, fill, or pattern that I've used in any of my videos that you'd love for me to teach in a thorough drum lesson, please let me know in a comment below! I read every single one.

Happy new year! Stoked for 2020!

[prestonarsenault]

I said it in 2009 and I'll say it again, this makes this song 1000x better, hell yeah.

This is literally the cover that made me get my first drum kit. 10 years on and still drumming 🥁🤟🏻

[julesvandijk]

I usually don’t comment on YouTube videos. However, this cover is what inspired me to start drumming about 9 years ago. There’s a lot of nostalgia that comes bubbling up seeing this again. I spend hours on the crossover and had some of my happiest moments playing this (summer of 69 best days of my life kinda feeling looking back). The everlasting grin on your face perfectly describes my feelings when playing this as well, sheer joy.
After a decade of being inspired by your creativity and persistence in playing drums I want to thank you for the incredible experiences I wouldn’t have had if I hadn’t picked up that pair of drumsticks after watching your videos.

Amazing cover, Cobus. Here's to an amazing 2020! Hopefully we can do another collab... I'm thinking we rent a submarine and do a cover of "Under The Sea"? What say you?

[motsenbopper]

This video 10 years ago took my interest from “yeah he’s a good drummer” to “I can’t wait to see where he goes”! Glad to see the recover. Here’s to 13 more years 🤘🏻

2009 - Legendary
2019 - Amazing

Kelly's drummer crying after this drum cover lol!

[patrickcampbell]

Still the tightest cover drummer on YouTube after all this time. Thank you, Cobus!

[mazevedomars]

The happiness in his face says it all.

[austinjames]

The fill in the Burn - Ellie Goulding cover after the interlude is something that I have never been able to figure out.

[쓰담담-gg]

I started playing drum after I saw your video in 2009 when I was in middle school.
And now, I’m 26 still playing because of you.
Thank you for made my passion🙏

Why do you feel like family? You have brought much happiness to me over the years. Thank you!

[chrislazcano]

Bro, I’m remembering how much of an inspiration it was seeing you play this song back then. I’ve been playing for 17 years now and I can say that you’ve played a huge role in my drumming life. I almost gave up on it to be honest. Then, I found you and your drumming and it inspired me to keep playing to one day be like you. So Cobus, Thank you man. Because honestly “My Life Would Suck Without You”.

Love and appreciate you bro! Praying for an awesome 2020 for you!! 🤟🏻🙏🏻

[BizzleBenzedrine]

The intro to this video is my absolute favorite. Smol Cobus flashback, then the air guitar, then the smile on his face as he begins drumming. It makes me happy every single time. ☺️

[DJB]

OH MY GOSH!!!! MAAAAN, YOU JUST MADE MY WHOLE YEAR!!! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS RECOVER SINCE FOREVER!!! THANKS COBUS!!!

[brianbruin]

You can't help but to smile along with Cobus. Love seeing him jam even after all these years!
