  • ok i believe everybody has their own thoughts. but fuck guys George Kollias is solid,fast, and i bet dosent use any quantizeing.... and has that deep passion that keeps him going on top of all his fans. HE IS DEATH METAL! plus a pretty fuckin sweet guy.

  • @dinoface100 Nope, no quantising for George :)

  • dope ass set-up!!!!!

    Pearl&Sabian

  • I'm waiting for the singer to say.......C IS FOR COOKIE .........COOOKIE......AAARGGG

  • @STIXAHOY llol

  • This song is just... I could listen to the drum track separately and still have an epic NILEgasm :D

  • this guy is my idol

  • if you think triggers are cheating, you're an idiot.

  • this is the greatest nile song in my opinion... its definatly the most complex.

  • @ghostdrummer16 No way it's the most complex :p

  • george please teach me dude

  • @sukonnewton1

    Buy his DVD =), I did!

    And drum like crazy atleast 4-5 times a week.

  • He isn´t using triggers you can hear it ! And theres no trigger kit on it!

    So fuckin´believe it george is the king of blasting !

  • @Kevinkoch2443 I'm pretty sure he is. He uses axis E-kits, so they are out of sight of the camera.

    Either way, he's still the king of blasting.

  • feet of the dead?

  • Kollias!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Saying triggers is cheating is like saying distortion on an amp is cheating. It gives a fake sound that sounds good, it doesn't make you any faster.

  • Those sticks look weightless on him!

  • Jesus is sponsorized by Vic Firth.

  • caralho esse axis e brutal preciso de um urgente hehehehehe...

  • triggers are for helping get a better tone, i dont see how you can cheat at drums. with this logic every guitar player who uses a pedal or some other sound modification is a "cheater". its music there is no rite or wrong way to do it and there is no way you can cheat......with the ecxeption of lip syncing

  • There are videos of him not using triggers...

  • "Guitar pickups and noise gates are cheating."

    You see its sounds just as retarded as saying triggers are cheating when both essentially do the same thing.

  • @kaosM914 Im no guitar player but if you didn't have a pick up, would any fucking sound come out of the amp? if so people are just trolling and pissing their pants that they can't ever be this good at drums and guitar.

  • shit, here we go again, "triggers". if you trigger your bass drums you have to be accurate as fuck because they will be heard even at the slightest touch. so having triggers means you have to be a good and accurate drummer.

  • 0:09 brutal

  • omg that snare souuundss awesoooome what snare is that one? which head?

  • @sk8erboy182 i think he uses a pearl masterworks snare and he uses an evans powercenter reverse dot head.

  • ONE OF THE HEAVIEST SONGS EVER!!!!! SLOW AND HEAVY!!! \m/

  • @dannywiskey13 its not that heavy but its still a good song

  • The only Cheats in drumming is a Drummer-Machine

  • good job man, good job

  • incredible fast duoble bass...!!!!sto batterista è il meglio del death metal....tra quelli che non usano le dita per il fast blast...veramente tecnico da farre paura !!!!

  • @DuduChapola sweet thnx bud

  • @DuduChapola wut does flo use?

  • Perfect drum tuning! That snare sound is CRUSHING at any tempo / subdivision.

  • What a freak

  • oh what it cuts oh before the really cool slow part D:

  • The guitars are damn brutal in this song

  • 6 un grande!!!

  • @DuduChapola KOLLIAS is A GOD!!!!!!!.

  • Love that main riff, drrrr drrr drrr dududud!.

  • Yes very true

  • BEAT

    OFF

    THE DEEEEEEEEEEAD

  • considering how fast he plays.. he must have alot of patience at the beginning

  • @TheDarkomen9 true but really slow shit is harder than most would think

  • Good song =]

  • i use triggers and trust me, they are not a cheating device!

  • guys not only does george kolias use triggers but he also explains in his DVD about how when you use triggers that it not only gives clarity, but it also takes a certain degree of more skill in your control and that if you dont use control that triggers are useless. control and consistantsy is the main thing that george kolias enfisizes on more than anything. just like he said HIMSELF that 300bpm is vertually impossable that even he can only hit 280 or so yet many will argue that fact as well.

  • how we let him drum this song on your fucking face and lets see if he still uses triggers

  • @fourftofury triggers are not cheating and he is clearly not tapping anyways he has a lot of power behind all of his strokes

  • i worship him...

  • not really but still...

  • nice name :O

  • lol thanks, my name was going to be NIGGASHIT...but it was taken, so Youtube suggested this one o-o

  • well thats... odd >>

  • yea i thought so too

  • @NiggaShitification lol youtube racist hahaha

  • lol probably

  • Triggers make no difference to your speed.. Just by watching the power in his peddaling you can see he could do that without them.. Kollias = Thunderfoot

  • not your speed , but your power. he could do it, but could you hear him is the question. triggering makes every note exactly the same, so you can barely tap it, and you have a big note. it's cheating.

  • @fourftofury but this is without triggers. and show me any fucking drummer that can play up to 280 without triggers

  • if you can't hear the triggers on this video, you don't need to be on this page or having this conversation.

  • @fourftofury well the fight goes on because hes not using triggers

  • @fourftofury alright ima clear all this up. he does have triggers, i have this dvd and he has a whole section on it. george kollias is a highly respected man because he uses triggers live, but believes in the skill involved in being able to play without them. his strokes are powerful as hell, he just uses them so the bass drum is distinct in the mix of instruments.

  • accually if you are playing 280 bpm it doesnt matter if you have triggers or not your still playing at 280bpm. triggers DO NOT make you faster it only gives more volume and effects(or accents) to your drums but if not used properly then you will sound nice and clear at 280 bpm then sound like you are stomping the bass drum so hard that you've busted a whole in the drum on singles and it will distort out! bottom line is with or without triggers control is what REALLY makes all the difference.

  • I still can't believe people are still going on about triggers make you go faster.

  • you just have to register a hit. Triggers definitly dont make you go faster but knowing you dont have to have consistent pressure on every hit as long as the hits are even lets people go faster. Even though you could never hear what hes doing without them

  • Not true, Not true, Not true. Triggers are just easier for recording. You have over siplified what they do.

  • did you not hear what he just said on the video? i've been playing since i was 5, and never will use triggers. i have before, there's no dynamics, and it's cheating. you can get the same sound you just have to actually practice and play every note. there's no 'tapping'. if he deleted the video from this post again, search george kollias and triggering on here.

  • you are stupid man. no dynamics are needed because in DEATH METAL and Nile; Georges kicks are competing with 3 stacks and he needs to have those strokes heard. plus going 280bpm without triggers is unrecognizable even though george is using full power and NOT CHEATING, his feet of blazing speed must be heard accurately. its like saying micing your set is cheating. and atleast he only triggers his bassdrums unlike some guys in metal

  • @Joeskateapool be the bigger man and let stupid people continue being stupid as hard as it is, stupid people will always be around

  • @Joeskateapool well said

  • @Joeskateapool yea triggering snares is for pussies

    

  • @Joeskateapool *ahem* Here Comes The Kraken *ahem* what?!?!?! but yea man, here comes the kraken cheats...look up the song the legend of the rent is way hardcore THAT is fake...this is not. I want to know how he plays blasts with 1 foot

  • @Joeskateapool might i ask what a trigger is?

  • @hlslayer123 Triggering means that you put a sensor to the drumhead and it will send a singal to a electronic drum module when you hit the drum. Then the module will produce a exactly same sound every time you hit the drum no matter how and how hard. So for example if you hit the bassdrum hard like normaly or not so hard when playing very fast it produces the same sound which you can choose. This is how I have understood it.

  • @Joeskateapool Triggering toms is pointless and retarded. If you trigger a whole drumset, why spend so much money on one? Your not getting the actual sound of the set. I support bass drum triggering all the way though, playing at 280bpm sounds like pure donkey shit without triggers, cause it's too fast to be heard clear.

  • @rsman169 Yea,I'm fully aware of this man. Did you not realize that when you read my comment on this video?

  • @rsman169 Some people like the triggered sound of their kit. Also you can have your toms mic'd and then use the triggers to sample random noises or sounds to fire off when you hit each tom.

  • @Joeskateapool dynamics are not needed,but they can be used.Check out the 2 snares part on Ithyphallic.Accents? Dynamics.All this "cheating" think is just annoying,a drummer should play loud and accurate because when playing in small rooms and small places he couldn't use triggers or microfonations,and he should make his band able to play even in these places.But nowdays drummers use to play accurate and loud because if they don't,they will be considered gay faggots cheaters.What a story.

  • @scaxxomaxx but still at the speeds kollias is getting, you wont hear them without triggers. even in practice. I caught him after a show once and told him i try to play with power and he told me its not about power. he said its mostly about playing clean. your not going to get loud strokes out of your bass drums at high speeds like this.

  • @Jleedrummermetal well it's not that loud but it has power.I've heard him in a clinic with a bass drum pad and it was definitely powerful.The fact is that you can't tapping,you have to put energy in the strokes.The human limits at those speeds are another kettle of fish ;)

  • @scaxxomaxx true that. he does get good strokes. but the power thing, idk what he ment when he told me its not about power.:/ i have no triggers on my kit so tapping was never an option for me. lol energy i have though. lol im only at a 220 mark though. no where near kollias.

  • @Jleedrummermetal maybe he meant that it's all about endurance and playing in-tempo with a metronome,then speed comes itself,and once you get familiar with the beats,you can add power because you're more relaxed when playing them ;)

  • @scaxxomaxx maybe.:) all it really takes is practice though. this kind of playing doesn't happen over night.

  • @Jleedrummermetal completely agree! so,have a good blasting time man ;)

  • @scaxxomaxx hell yeah bro. you too.

  • haha easily..

  • Damn!!!!!!!

  • im havin a stroke watchin his vids im not worthy ahhhhh

  • This guy slays dragons for a living.

  • george kollias slays dragons for FUN

  • he even looks like jesus :D

  • @ReberBlopp thats because he is jesus

  • George is a......i dont even know what to say.....god??? just look at him go....fuckin crazy!!!

  • hoooollly shaaaat!

  • owwowowow

  • holy fuck.

  • This, in all seriousness..Must be one of the heaviest sounding songs I've ever heard in my life.

  • for some reason this song reminds me of a whale.....just like the whole intro part....the majestic call of the whale

  • You should've skipped the motivation, your comment would have been hilarious. ^^

  • EAT..... OOF THE DEAAAAAD

  • BADASS.....just......BADASS!

  • a la double il gere,niveau break bien lourd aussi mais niveau blast je prefere romain goulon:)

  • Romain est excellent, mais George c'est le dieu du blast beat, personne ne blast comme lui

  • Someone somewhere back in the comments mentioned "iron wrists". No, it's not having iron wrists. It's called not fighting your kit, something a lot of drummers never get over and what brings most drummers to the next level once they achieve it. George has some of the softest hands I've ever seen in a drummer that plays at this speed and his kit doesn't play him, he plays his kit. Some understand this concept, some don't.

  • to this day idk what any of niles lyrics are, its their drumming that sends the message to me. specially georges. absolutely amazing.

  • i just heard my first song from nile a few minutes ago, is this a cover or is that ther actual drummer?

  • Their actual drummer.

  • he's the actuall drummer george kollias. he's crazy :D

  • its the actual drummer

    its his youtube account aswell

    he is good lol

  • yea, reeally good

  • this is their actual drummer; George Kollias.

  • better than the one they had before

  • definitly.

  • no duh

  • wow,if you hate on nile you´re gonna get ass raped here.i´ll start

  • Your vids keep on poping up in my recommended videos and I cant help but watch , I guess it helps me know what to look for in a drummer eh ? ha ha .

  • I always thought the lyrics to that song were freaky but thats some awsome drum work George .

  • Awesome

  • yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee rim shots yeeeeeeee

  • those slow grooves like the in the beggining sound so awesome, i hope the new nile album still has those

  • i day dream about being able to drum like george... no homo.

  • me too.

  • His kit sounds perfect

  • 210?

  • thats what I thought they were,just look a bit different

  • what kind of kick pedals are those?

  • axis longboards, the best!!!!

  • they were the best until demon drive pedals came out!!!

  • nope... Axis are still better than those flashy pedals!! :) Well it also depends on how the pedals feel to you... but speedwise, the Axis are unmatched...

  • Exquisite track by the geniuses of the craft...

  • Which tempo is this song in?

  • around 50bpm

    crazy

  • Uhh.... no?

  • it actually is, at least at the start. Its actually closer to 49. However, at about :30 george starts playing 64th notes with his feet, which is equivalent to 16ths at 200 or so.

  • I want his feet. How much does a soul cost? Jk, but  seriously, I do.

  • The price on his feet are beyond the currency this world can offer. Or in other words, A chuck norris bill (1,000,000,000,0000,000,000) haha

  • Ten Quintillion Dollars is nowhere near the price of Georges feet!

  • doesnt matter how many times i see this vid.

    its always amazing to watch!

    i love his technique with the ride.

    MASTER!!

  • fuckin awesome

  • Fantastic :-D

  • Dereck rody plays louder than George .... but this one is more technical

  • maestro!!!

  • omfg that was amazing

  • One of the best. Its one thing to listen to his art, but to watch him and see what he does puts it all into perspective. George is phenominal and nile kicks ass.

  • man i love his ride

  • Fuck...Really hard to groove at such slow tempos!You're a fuckin great inspiration and influence George!

  • George u r sick man

    congratz...

    fucking awesome O_O

  • He doesn't even have to start trying until he gets up to like 250 or so. It's ridiculous.

  • wow.

  • Best drummer in his genre. Flawless technique.

  • 1:40 to 1:54 just unbelievable.... he is a god drummer... just amazing!!!!!

  • Man.. the left beater is one big blur at 1:40... very nice.

  • He's insane...

  • Awesome drummer face at :09.

  • im sorry guys but george kollias breaks neil pert

  • oh you fool... you can't compare them... like comparing bananas to oranges

  • the real nile drummer here

  • How many drummers does it take to change a lightbulb?

    Answer: One Hundred. One to change the lightbulb and 99 to say that Neil Peart would've done it better.

  • what a fucking stupid joke...

  • haha thats really good ;)

  • ...

  • is he human?

  • jonny is right

  • I there any video on the dvd where george demonstrates "what can be safely written"?

  • iron cobras felt tip

  • Axis Longboards with Iron Cobra beaters. Learn to read, fucking Idiots.

  • not even iron cobra beaters. those are a certain type of axis beaters. i know cuz i have the same beaters and they say axis on them. still does it matter? he is just amazing case closed
