    This was really a great conversation. The “I’ve never happened to life” idea was fantastic.
  • @teemondy
    I quit playing drums… *for a short period of time
  • I’ve learned a lot by watching your covers dude you’ve been incredibly inspirational to me and my playing style Much love cobus thank you for your years of kicking ass!!!
  • I’ve come across both of you guys, but I’m just now taking a deep dive into your content. This was a wonderful gem to find. Thanks for a great conversation. 🙂
  • @salemetro
    Thanks for posting this. I've been struggling for a few months now, as life has thrown me for a loop on a few levels....and this has given me much to consider.
  • At many times in my life I’ve stopped playing on my set and watching your content inspires me to jump back on. To hear You going through your challenges it’s just another level of getting more connected to myself and enjoy life. So, thanks for posting this much love
  • Seriously you two are my favorite drummers on YouTube. I’ve watched you both for years an it’s so great to hear you both speak from the heart. Very inspirational.
  • Fantastic video guys. Always love hearing more "behind the scenes" from artists. When I first started drumming back in 2011 Cobus was who I always looked up to and honestly my style of playing today is directly impacted by. Still hoping to meet you someday! Keep up the amazing content both on and off the kit :)
  • Thanks for being vulnerable and letting us know we’re not alone in just trying to get by in recent years
  • This was awesome guys. A straight conversation between two people and drummers I look up to. Thanks for this and good luck.
  • Cobus, thanks for making this video! I can relate so much. I deleted social media 7 years ago for the comparison reasons. You nailed that when you said it wasn't designed to boost your own confidence. I'm very new to YouTube but have watched you for years before I recently made a channel. This also explains why you never announced the results of the song contest last year. I was wondering about that, so all this makes perfect sense. Hope 2022 is a great year for you and everyone else! ❤
  • It's gonna be hard for any other YouTuber to beat this video for me this year. This video is a FANTASTIC way to start 2022, and I can't thank you enough for creating it!
  • Thanks for this guys. It is so important addressing mental health, been watching Cobus since 2010, went through my own hard times and being open, honest and acknowledging your mental health is SO important 💜💜🙏
  • @AmrddH
    Definitely been going through my own stuff during this pandemic, so it's always beneficial to hear someone else talking about it, especially in the drumming space since I feel that conversation can be lacking in the field sometimes. Thanks Cobus and Kristina for sharing this!
  • I haven't finished watching it yet. I will. This conversation is amazing so far. I relate with so much at the 16 minute mark. Anxiety depression obsessing. Finding worship music helping so much. Thank you both for being so real. To see you cobus so open and talking to us about the things we struggle with is so comforting. I have been watching and listening to you for years. Watching you play and enjoy it so much brings me joy. Especially the Angels and Airwaves songs. The duet was epic. Thank you for being willing to be real in this video. Much respect. Thank you. Thank you for helping me to realize being not okay is okay
  • Thank you for making this video and doing it in such precise manner! It made me think about a few things.
  • This is so nice, Cobus you have put up a great convo here and opened up to be more vulnerable. Really Appreciate it.
  • Thank you for this video. I truly needed to hear and see this recently. Stay strong and keep kicking butt
  • I had such a great time hanging out with you two, so refreshing and inspiring, thank you guys for all you do and most of all for being you 💜
