very very tight and precise dude. takes a lot for people to slow stuff down and focus on a tight performance over and fast and less than perfect one. mad props
@Ellinarkkari uge isn't better he's faster. he plays nile with the same accuracy as sam but just at full speed. just because someone can play at full speed doesnt make them better though
Sounds like you're getting just a little bit tired in the end, but still better cover than 99% of the vids here on youtube! Keep on blasting, and nevermind these fucktards whining.
Thanks but I can't hear it?.. I've just listened to it again from the 2nd half onwards... saying it *sounds* like I'm getting a bit tired implies lack of power/timing of drumming, yet I see no variation in the dynamics of consistency of timing.
Thanks for the rest of the comment though! I try correcting stupid comments but I generally don't pay attention if they refuse to see the logic. I'd be interested to hear what you mean by saying I 'sound tired'...
Thanks man. I don't, I tend to just see if I can show them why their comments are so stupid & if I can't succeed in that I'm mean back to them. I may have been a hell of a studio drummer if I didn't get RSI from practising too much. Thanks again.
I must say, this is very accurate and I really support that you play at the speeds you want to play. This is really a good way for practice. George would be proud.
That is one of the nicest comments I've had in a while. Thank you very much. Perhaps this is slightly pretentious to mention but George has actually seen the video, he was quite kind. Awesome guy as well!
185 bpm are u kidding me. That must be a fucking joke right? thats increadibly fucking slow. whats the point of learning the song? why not just learn slower songs until you get some skil.
You have zero uploads, 3 subscribers, under 2000 channel views and clearly = quite mentally definicient. I am playing accurately and as I please, if that doesn't please you, take your mediocre comments/existance and go lock yourself in a dark, empty, desolate room so you don't waste the time of people who are actually trying to progress in their instruments/existance.
@philosoful you call that progressing? maybe in 50 years you'll be able to play it at the actual speed. I could learn this song in 5 minutes and play well over 250bpm and perhaps I will.
@GenitalGrinder69 FUKING PIECE OF SHIT! Its fucking slower, "185 bpm are you kidding me" like you just figured it out it fucking says it. Its also called practice people who are actually intellectual and desire to get better do it! Good video pretty much perfect except for maybe a fill.
@Bio69 Totally agreed, it's much better to see progress than nothing at all. The people criticizing should really try and play this at the normal speed.
Alright but I'm just also going to say they have an album out called 'Those Whom The Gods Detest' which is even faster still and newer than Ithyphallic...
Cheers. Not sure what you mean by chart but I've tabbed the song all the way through on guitar and same with drums though I just improvise the fills but make sure I'm playing the right kind of beat and play it at my best bpm, which is 185.
@philosoful Chart, tab, what ever you would call it. But I am saying it's good to play at whatever speed you can. It's better than just playing sloppy at a higher speed. I can't even play a double bass roll at 180 for more than a few seconds.
Wicked, man. Starting a bit slower is best. Although 185 is fucking fast by most bands standards anyway. Can't wait to hear it progress over the next few years...
hey man you did such a great job on this song. i really enjoyed it played at a slower tempo as well. keep it up your talented and it shows. just curious which pedals do you own?
Thank you very much =] I'm trying to keep it up but I've got RSI (Repeatative Strain Injury) so I haven't drummed properly in quite some time, it hurts moi wrists =(
Axis Longboards here, I'm not sure how long I've been drumming but say it's 7 years, I had some old Yamahas for about 5 years first, it's your feet then your settings then the pedals, George has said that too and I think he's right. Axis utterly rule though, best pedal I've ever played.
no problem man and thats really beat :/. excellent pedals i'd say, they take time getting used to but i see what you mean. i'd have to agree with you completely on what george said. well good luck with everything
you did a really good job. i think it's cool to hear it at a slower tempo =] i wish i could play even this fast. but im practicing so hopefully ill get there
Thanks =) If you want to play this fast enough (and act on it thus practise) you will get there. Just keep playing lots, do lots of double kicking, push it now and again and check out some of the 16 week work out style exercises on Kollias's site and you'll be away =]
I think I remember - something about you recommending I play naturally slower songs like Slayer etc? Nope. Haven't been able to drum properly/at all really for months due to RSI (Repeatative Strain Injury) consequence to my previous job. Have had acupuncture and am going Monday to have more treatment, it utterly sucks. I miss drumming/am going take a while to play catch up to be able to play this if I ever actually drum again.
fuck man. that WOULD suck. and yeah, i think that might have been me. i hope you can drum again, thats one of the things that should never happen to a musician.
Thanks man, that's quite polite of you especially seeing as how heated our debate was. Indeed, I was 21 last Monday man, this shouldn't happen till I'm up there in the 60s at least :|
A book? How about an exposition of how irrelevant+tedious your reply is?
Not even remotely correct - frequently as you will see, George does NOT do the same fills as in the original recordings, this is called improvising, ditto in my video.
60BPM off - 1 - my video states the tempo this is at so you are repeating what I know - 2 your wrong, it's about 65bpm off.
3 - The critics come to me, I didn't ask you to watch this video, YOU clicked it.
Cheers! The kit is a Pearl ELX Cobalt fade - 2 shell packs put together, the cymbals are the high end part of this kit, got some lovely cymbals on there, love my blue bell ride and paiste sig china =]
Cheers =] I don't note what they say - I know what's best for me and the only person I take advice for is respectable people and Kollias. Give it a few years and see where all these 'youtube-insistent-know-it-alls' are and I'll see where I'm at ; ) Not saying I WILL be able to play Nile tunes up to speed but that's damn well what I'm aspiring to.
This is a great video. Your endurance is incredible.
Can I suggest you try and play this at full speed? You'll find that the tempo this video is in, is actually harder than playing at full speed because you have to concentrate on the stroked more.
I'd just like to see if you could is all. Just got done watching the other vid of your playing and I'm very impressed!
Nah - it would be sloppy as hell - it would be harder for someone who's capable of playing that fast in the first place maybe, George said something like that somewhere, that 250bpm's easier then 210 or something because that's just between where the motion of your feet goes from leg/semi ankles to all ankles. 180bpm is my best speed really tight this video was just pushing it a bit and happened to work.
well thats the point of practice at this speed I do it as well its good practice it forces you to work everything out straight the way I usually do it is just increase the speed by 10 bpm variants its a really good accuracy excercise :)
Look at Blastphemer's version of this. Yeah, that's not perfect either. But what it does is show that just picking up some drumsticks and playing for a little while just doesn't cut it when you're talking about a drummer like George. He illustrates well the amount of time and effort it takes to be able to play a song like this.
'Just picking up some drum sticks and playing for a little while' is implicit of how much I practise and it is extremely far off the mark. I played 100 days in a row last year, tried to keep playing through having pneumonia, and now have RSI from my work and have had to take some time off. That isn't justification for me not being able to play this that is me saying get the fuck out of here for implying you know how much effort I put in. Yet again on youtube I spy no videos of you doing better.
Haha that's my point EXACTLY. Since I can't play this song, I don't post videos of myself trying. That's exactly my point to you and you just basically pointed it out to yourself.
Maybe so but perhaps it also portrays you aren't in a position to criticize.
That is YOUR attitude, I had someone once say that my videos were like 'watching a baby grow' and I loved that comment & was very greatful for it - MY attitude is my youtube is a display of me - here I am at my current ability, if you wish not to see it, come back in say 5 years and maybe I'll be nearer. The previous doesn't justify you wrongly implying I merely 'pick up the sticks and play for a bit'.
If you only knew how much this guy practises and put's into his drumming, you would never question his dedication to practising and putting the effort into his drumming.
Hey Liam, thanks man =) finally got my department switched at work permanently so RSI subsides hopefully =) haven't seen you there much lately, hope all is good.
of course everyone has his own oppinion. i think u didnt get my point.
i didn't wanna attac you, i just don't think it's right to call the video "cast down...." because its actually not the song as it should be. u play your stuff good, no question. but i think when people click on your video, they expect to see it in 260bpm. and you know that ;)
so why don't you try to cover some Naglfar stuff? thats in 190 bpm or so, but at least u cover a song right.
I appreciate tactfulness of your response as opposed to your first comment.
It is actually the song (+that is why it is titled so - not for view gains) - it follows the same structure, the same blast beats though I improvise fills & such as George also does for live playing. I don't think people expect to see many people playing Nile full speed & if they do, that's their judgement.
I don't know Naglfar but Nile is one of the few DM/Metal bands that actually appeal to me, that's why I do it.
Dude I dunno what this video is supposed to be (yeah, i know read the description) but honestly, and I know there will be some dissenting opinions on this - Nile's songs are amazing because of the very fast tempos at which they're played. They are art in themselves-when you take away the element of Nile which separates them from your average metal band, you ruin the art. So you can be proud of this, that's cool, but my attitude is, play it how it's ACTUALLY played. Then you can be damn proud.
man i hate it when u do things like this. don't upload a video called "cast down the heretic" when u play it like 80bpm slower. that sucks and u just wanna get a lot of viewers i think.
if u can't blast and double bass at 260bpm then don't try to cover a song that fast. i mean what u do in this video is basicly just blasting and playing double bass at 185bpm. so call the video "blastbeats and double bass at 185bpm" or something like that.
If you hate it why the hell do you write a comment I clearly don't hate it and enjoy it?
No, if YOU can't blast and double bass at 260 then YOU can abide by that ideology. I have shown this video to George Kollias and he actually said the total opposite of you - he was concerned with not how fast it was but how well it was played.
Your opinions on what people should and shouldn't do with their videos is just that - an opinion - it's yours - NOT mine.
I don't know, that'd be your question to answer - the description says 185bpm so why you bothered to watch and comment I haven't a clue.
There's only a handful of drummers in the world who can play this up to speed and I'm not waiting 10 years or whatever to put any Death Metal drumming on youtube.
Yo maestro, cool vid. Nice and tight. I take it the pedals are being played heels up? your feet seem a lot further forwards than I find comfortable. I too have explored blasting with the left foot, it was when I tried walking with the left foot the following day I found there was a problem, haha. DC
Hola, cheers. Heel up indeed. You can't see the kick drum/fact I have Axis so I think that's hard to judge but obviously I have it setup to what I find comfortable. Left one foot blasting's never cause me any trouble nor right, don't know how long you've been trying it but I find it's quite benefiting.
Hey there, who's this to know that? Thanks for asking, wrists are ok at the moment, still not drumming though however - applied for Security at the store I work at and no one else did so hopefully I am swapping deparments soon and no more RSI! Just getting ready for work now so shall see. Thanks for asking.
During some of the blasts, your wrists seem to slow down. Either that or it's a mistake on my part. Take no offense, you're a really really great drummer man.
Thanks for the latter but no - I've just re-watched every blast in this video & it is not off time.
Perhaps you are unaware of what a traditional blast is like a previous youtuber? This consists of a cymbal (normally) & bass drum hit & then a snare hit, the snare being on the off beat forms a stranger sound than when the snare is on the down beat & a few people like to confuse this with going out of time, which of course, it isn't; it's a style of blast, the bass lines up perfectly w. the click
Lots of offense but that was moronic and utterly obvious. Yes it's slow, I can't play much faster. Off tempo? There is one point in the song where the metronome stops and I turn it back on and speed up slightly to get in time with it but besides that, bullshit.
Learn what playing in time constitutes before you embaress yourself on the world of youtube like all too many people.
It's spelt arrogant by the way. You say it was slow where I've slown it down so I can play it to the best of my ability (I.e not as good as George & people who can play it faster) & then say I can't accept anything that's not saying I'm the best in the world? Contradiction.
There are 1 or 2 tiny parts which go out of time+none of them are blast beats, see my above post, perhaps you don't know what a traditional blast is either. You being wrong and me pointing that out does not make me arrogant.
No; you said off tempo and slow, 2 different things. Off tempo implies out of time, which it clearly isn't and yes, it's slower, way to labour the obvious. I have seen Blastphemer's cover not that that has anything to do with it.
you are way to serious about everything and when i said no offense it meant i wasnt trying to offend you god damn you are arguing over nothing please just stop
i know nothing? i actually play drums rad my fucking channel dipshit and spikeydrummer was rite people like you are going to say i suck and shit like that
Well this is a cool camera angle but the sound suffers. The Essential Salts vid of mine is a still alright angle but I prefer this one, but the quality is better in Salts where it's further from the kit =) Cheers!
Thanks man! Yeah, it's Kollias, he done all the tracks on AOTW, Ithyphallic and is the current drummer (looks like he's here to stay). Damn proud to play his stuff, even if it is waaay slower but would rather be so and accurate then fast and sloppy... am getting there =)
Cool sounds like you know what you're doing. Cheers for watching my videos - I'm trying to figure out how to get better monitoring/recording so I can make a video that more clearly demonstrates my playing ability without the sound issues. Rest assure I'll be making more in future.
Well mics on everything obviously = best way though, like I, you may not have all that haha. Camera too close to cymbals = lots of drowning out of drums like in this vid - compare it to The Essential Salts vid of mine where the camera is far away... hear how much clearer everything is? Especially triggers... Maybe keep the song in the background but a bit quieter so the spotlights on you. Either way, all the best man!
Fair enough - I guess to play it properly you need to play it exactly as George does. However, don't take everything Pro Drummers say as Gospel - Drumming is an art and not an exact science. One foot or two foot - gives such similar results it's not worth worrying about - do whatever is most comfortable - seriously I might be naive but I can't hear the difference!
Spot on in your first 2 sentences *nods* =) but I am an utterly-down-to-the-last-detail kind of Musician, for example, on guitar, I play huge, really quite uncomfortable strings, but where it gives a better tone, I endure it for a better result. I CAN hear the difference + I actually find one foot far more comfortable/easier where I've been doing it since day one. Just watched 2 of your vids by the way, cool stuff! Though I'd like to see it without the track in the background/you louder =)
The last 2 Vital Remains CD's had Dave Suzuki on drums in the studio and Tim Yeung played live for a while. Look up the video of "Hammer Down the Nails" with Suzuki in the studio - no cheating there - he's damn fast. And "Rush of Deliverence" Live with Tim Yeung on drums - again super fast. As for 2 foot and one foot blasting - it's really just a preference - sometimes I do 2 foot, mostly I do one foot - many drummers are like this...I can't personally hear the difference - that's just me.
I'm of the Dave scenario but you can't see his feet in those videos/clarify if he's playing it. Clearly he is fucking fast indeed though. I was refering to Tim live in which he clearly doesn't do 16ths for the faster passages.
It is a preference thing but this IS Nile and that's how it's played, thus when we are talking of who else can play it, that needs to be taken into account. I can hear the difference although it's harder to hear in better players (of 2 foots) but that is preference =)
Hey, good video man - play it at a slower speed and nail it - good initiative. I don't mean to be rude but "a handfull of people" is definitely an understatement. Let's say anyone in the world who can play 8ths@255bpm on all 4 limbs could potentially play this song. Let's start naming names who can do this: Romain Goulon, Flo Mounier, Jordan Varella, Tony Laureno, Mauro Mercurio, James King, John Longstreth, Derek Roddy, Hexen (From the band Hate), Tim Yeung, Jade Simonetto
Andy (From the band Wormed), Max Kolesne, Dave Kinkade, Pete Sandoval, Dave Haley, Reno Killerich, Hellhammer, Inferno, Dave Suzuki, Mike Hamilton, Probably KC Howard, Probably Steve Asheim - probably thousands...I Think I've made my point - you played it very well at 185 but keep at it - for me some big speed improvements happened very suddenly before I knew what hit me. Keep it up man.
See I don't know all those guys could... all are awesome drummers but I'm not sure if any of them actually one foot blast... Derek Roddy seems the most likely to be able to play such. Tim Yeung I'm not sure of - he's killer but Vital Remains (Although quite a bit faster than Nile thanks to some studioing) = triplets on kicks live instead of 16ths. I don't think a handful is an exageration. Sure, there are many people that can play this speed but for this long + accurately + one foot blasts...
You should note 185bpm is the fastest I can play it accurately and that there's only a handful of people in the world who could play this all the way through at full speed.
ive seen i think 2 drum covers on youtube, and im really close to being able to do it, so i think a handful is a bit of an exaggeration but i do realize it's incredibly difficult to play at tempos approaching 260. i think if you practiced though, you could do it. it would take a while, but IMO it would be interesting to see and a good sense of accomplishment. completely your choice however, and good drumming either way.
2 drum covers on youtube. How does that imply anything other than a handfull? + chances are those guys are really struggling if playing it cleanly at all, George floors it every time. You have no drumming vids on your page thus I am sceptical of your claim but nothing says proof like a video... thanks either way for the compliment.
blastphemer and dethmetaldrummer, they both play it nearly perfectly and cleanly without any reall issue except in blastphemers he messes up a blast near the end. and thats two people that:
a)care enough to make a video
b)have access to a nice camera
c)are high profile enough for a casual youtuber to notice them.
i dont blame you at all for not beliveing me by the way, if i ever get a camera ill post up a video response.
Yes, I've seen both of them. I haven't re-checked Blastphemer's but dethmetaldrummer = 2 foot blasts - alot of the straight 16th note fills are abreviated/8th noted/triplets and the lack of trigger presence makes me wonder if he's actually playing accurately. Again, I am 'sceptical' not unbelieving because my evidence isn't solid - but sceptical. Really man, if anyone wants to make a video, in this day and age, it doesn't take much effort. Not putting you down there, just in reference to yourABC
whats wrong with two foot blasts? some people just find it easier. blasphemers is two foot blasts as well. and yes, it can take effort if you want a video with semi-decent audio and video quality. if your skeptical about DMD's accuracy at those speed, check out his video were he plays 270-300 BPM, which is quite a bit faster than this song.
Nothing is wrong with them but I said a handful of people in the world can play this song full speed and that is part of the song - one footed blasts, it sounds different. Indeed, am currently watching that vid - it is very impressive but I don't think it's entirely tight. Likewise with Blasphemers - again, very impressive stuff, but alot of the time it's 8th triplets, not 16ths, where in the song George plays 16ths.
Ok; only a handful of people in the world can play this music near flawlessly.
we just have completely different view points on the matter i suppose. and two footed blasts and one footed blast sound the exact same on a kit with triggered kicks like kollias's. peace, and keep drumming!
That's cool man. You sound more respectable then my first post was to you but they do sound slightly differently I think, it is very slight but one foot sounds more 'pushing' it's like straight down strokes and alternate picking on guitar. Peace to you too man, all the best and I'd love to see that video ;-)
WOW, well done for keeping it civil guys. The fact that your replies didn't resort to childishness and ended with mutual respect is a credit to you both.
And philosoful, good on you for having the balls to bring the tempo down to nail the song properly!! I can't play heretic full tempo, and would do exactly as you have done. It's the only way to learn!
Thanks Donno =) Mutual respect is a wonderful thing - I think it's even more wonderful when you can establish/sustain it despite contrasting views. However, I don't respect stupidity nor harsh scorning comments. However, that is a minority and I must say I've had so many nice comments on here I forget from time to time how much response youtube gives one to their videos/work. Hoooraaaa for peaceful youtubers =)
I don't think it's terrible - there's alot of drumming on youtube which sounds like it's just been done off a phone, on this video you can here each element of the drumset, they actually have their own tone instead of noise, but indeed, it isn't a studio quality recording.
oo no its not terrible at all its rly good compared to like all the other ones its just a little hard to hear the ride atot but theres a cupple times where it rly cuts through and you can rly hear it
Middle crash = IS a Paiste 16" signature though I can't remember if it's a reflector or not. Middle as in there's the 2 left chinas, one crash, then the one next to that? That is the middle crash but just wanted to make sure as the Sabian AAX (18") is abit more 'centre' looking in this video.
Why wont you play the song at the rigth speed in other video?, these is like "oh i know tho play the song rigth but at 50 bpm less, whitch has no sense
1. Not guess that I can't play it full speed - only a handful of people in the world can.
2. Ironically acuseing my slower playing that it 'whitch has no sense', do you know what irony is? + No videos of you doing any better on your profile... that always seems to be the way with the stupid commenters on this site...
Yeah man, it sounds and looks amazing. I'm not very good at describing sounds but it's quite 'industrial' like to me, very dry but it does have quite a bit of overtone. The bell utterly rules as you can hear in this video. The Paiste sound clips on their site = quite accurate to it's sound except you seem to not hear as much of the overtones on the site's clip.
how the fuck this have 1/3 thumbs down. lots of jealous ass half ass drummers watching this dude rip it up i guess D: \\m//

@philosoful you call that progressing? maybe in 50 years you'll be able to play it at the actual speed. I could learn this song in 5 minutes and play well over 250bpm and perhaps I will.

The whole song isn't fast enough, it says in the description 186bpm. I can't play 250bpm, neither can many people. Please show me your attempt...

@philosoful
this goes up to 261 bpm!!

250bpm is the average Nile song, I wasn't saying that's how fast this is but thank you anyway.

Just saying... but their average seems to be 260 bpm now since the release of Ithyphallic!

Alright but I'm just also going to say they have an album out called 'Those Whom The Gods Detest' which is even faster still and newer than Ithyphallic...

Great Cover dude. So, do you chart the song and just play it back at comfortable speeds or what?
monkeychunkey 2 years ago
Cheers. Not sure what you mean by chart but I've tabbed the song all the way through on guitar and same with drums though I just improvise the fills but make sure I'm playing the right kind of beat and play it at my best bpm, which is 185.
philosoful 2 years ago
@philosoful Chart, tab, what ever you would call it. But I am saying it's good to play at whatever speed you can. It's better than just playing sloppy at a higher speed. I can't even play a double bass roll at 180 for more than a few seconds.
monkeychunkey 2 years ago
Actually sounds really heavy at this speed! Really powerful strokes aswell, Good work :)
Check out my band Legium if you want, some fast grinds and double bass myspace . com / LEGIUM
Keep it up man!

hey man you did such a great job on this song. i really enjoyed it played at a slower tempo as well. keep it up your talented and it shows. just curious which pedals do you own?
subsurfaced121 2 years ago
Thank you very much =] I'm trying to keep it up but I've got RSI (Repeatative Strain Injury) so I haven't drummed properly in quite some time, it hurts moi wrists =(
Axis Longboards here, I'm not sure how long I've been drumming but say it's 7 years, I had some old Yamahas for about 5 years first, it's your feet then your settings then the pedals, George has said that too and I think he's right. Axis utterly rule though, best pedal I've ever played.
philosoful 2 years ago
no problem man and thats really beat :/. excellent pedals i'd say, they take time getting used to but i see what you mean. i'd have to agree with you completely on what george said. well good luck with everything

Thanks =) If you want to play this fast enough (and act on it thus practise) you will get there. Just keep playing lots, do lots of double kicking, push it now and again and check out some of the 16 week work out style exercises on Kollias's site and you'll be away =]
philosoful 2 years ago
have you raised the max tempo you can play at since this recording?
this is just curiosity by the way, not an attack. me and you have had a mild debate over speed before, i think it was actually this video xD
abacacus 2 years ago
I think I remember - something about you recommending I play naturally slower songs like Slayer etc? Nope. Haven't been able to drum properly/at all really for months due to RSI (Repeatative Strain Injury) consequence to my previous job. Have had acupuncture and am going Monday to have more treatment, it utterly sucks. I miss drumming/am going take a while to play catch up to be able to play this if I ever actually drum again.
philosoful 2 years ago
fuck man. that WOULD suck. and yeah, i think that might have been me. i hope you can drum again, thats one of the things that should never happen to a musician.

A book? How about an exposition of how irrelevant+tedious your reply is?
Not even remotely correct - frequently as you will see, George does NOT do the same fills as in the original recordings, this is called improvising, ditto in my video.
60BPM off - 1 - my video states the tempo this is at so you are repeating what I know - 2 your wrong, it's about 65bpm off.
3 - The critics come to me, I didn't ask you to watch this video, YOU clicked it.
4 - You have nought better on your profile? Hmmm.

Can I suggest you try and play this at full speed? You'll find that the tempo this video is in, is actually harder than playing at full speed because you have to concentrate on the stroked more.
I'd just like to see if you could is all. Just got done watching the other vid of your playing and I'm very impressed!
NinjaPirate1178 2 years ago
Thanks a lot! =]
Nah - it would be sloppy as hell - it would be harder for someone who's capable of playing that fast in the first place maybe, George said something like that somewhere, that 250bpm's easier then 210 or something because that's just between where the motion of your feet goes from leg/semi ankles to all ankles. 180bpm is my best speed really tight this video was just pushing it a bit and happened to work.
Thanks again.
philosoful 2 years ago
well thats the point of practice at this speed I do it as well its good practice it forces you to work everything out straight the way I usually do it is just increase the speed by 10 bpm variants its a really good accuracy excercise :)

philosoful 2 years ago
Look at Blastphemer's version of this. Yeah, that's not perfect either. But what it does is show that just picking up some drumsticks and playing for a little while just doesn't cut it when you're talking about a drummer like George. He illustrates well the amount of time and effort it takes to be able to play a song like this.
MetalheadJC926 2 years ago
'Just picking up some drum sticks and playing for a little while' is implicit of how much I practise and it is extremely far off the mark. I played 100 days in a row last year, tried to keep playing through having pneumonia, and now have RSI from my work and have had to take some time off. That isn't justification for me not being able to play this that is me saying get the fuck out of here for implying you know how much effort I put in. Yet again on youtube I spy no videos of you doing better.
philosoful 2 years ago
Haha that's my point EXACTLY. Since I can't play this song, I don't post videos of myself trying. That's exactly my point to you and you just basically pointed it out to yourself.
MetalheadJC926 2 years ago
Maybe so but perhaps it also portrays you aren't in a position to criticize.
That is YOUR attitude, I had someone once say that my videos were like 'watching a baby grow' and I loved that comment & was very greatful for it - MY attitude is my youtube is a display of me - here I am at my current ability, if you wish not to see it, come back in say 5 years and maybe I'll be nearer. The previous doesn't justify you wrongly implying I merely 'pick up the sticks and play for a bit'.

of course everyone has his own oppinion. i think u didnt get my point.
i didn't wanna attac you, i just don't think it's right to call the video "cast down...." because its actually not the song as it should be. u play your stuff good, no question. but i think when people click on your video, they expect to see it in 260bpm. and you know that ;)
so why don't you try to cover some Naglfar stuff? thats in 190 bpm or so, but at least u cover a song right.
again, i didnt wanna attack you ;)

Lykanthrop616 2 years ago
I appreciate tactfulness of your response as opposed to your first comment.
It is actually the song (+that is why it is titled so - not for view gains) - it follows the same structure, the same blast beats though I improvise fills & such as George also does for live playing. I don't think people expect to see many people playing Nile full speed & if they do, that's their judgement.
I don't know Naglfar but Nile is one of the few DM/Metal bands that actually appeal to me, that's why I do it.
philosoful 2 years ago
Dude I dunno what this video is supposed to be (yeah, i know read the description) but honestly, and I know there will be some dissenting opinions on this - Nile's songs are amazing because of the very fast tempos at which they're played. They are art in themselves-when you take away the element of Nile which separates them from your average metal band, you ruin the art. So you can be proud of this, that's cool, but my attitude is, play it how it's ACTUALLY played. Then you can be damn proud.
MetalheadJC926 2 years ago
man i hate it when u do things like this. don't upload a video called "cast down the heretic" when u play it like 80bpm slower. that sucks and u just wanna get a lot of viewers i think.
if u can't blast and double bass at 260bpm then don't try to cover a song that fast. i mean what u do in this video is basicly just blasting and playing double bass at 185bpm. so call the video "blastbeats and double bass at 185bpm" or something like that.
your playing is nice and even btw;) but still....
Lykanthrop616 2 years ago
If you hate it why the hell do you write a comment I clearly don't hate it and enjoy it?
No, if YOU can't blast and double bass at 260 then YOU can abide by that ideology. I have shown this video to George Kollias and he actually said the total opposite of you - he was concerned with not how fast it was but how well it was played.
Your opinions on what people should and shouldn't do with their videos is just that - an opinion - it's yours - NOT mine.

Hola, cheers. Heel up indeed. You can't see the kick drum/fact I have Axis so I think that's hard to judge but obviously I have it setup to what I find comfortable.

During some of the blasts, your wrists seem to slow down. Either that or it's a mistake on my part. Take no offense, you're a really really great drummer man.
brutalballs99 2 years ago 2
Thanks for the latter but no - I've just re-watched every blast in this video & it is not off time.
Perhaps you are unaware of what a traditional blast is like a previous youtuber? This consists of a cymbal (normally) & bass drum hit & then a snare hit, the snare being on the off beat forms a stranger sound than when the snare is on the down beat & a few people like to confuse this with going out of time, which of course, it isn't; it's a style of blast, the bass lines up perfectly w. the click
philosoful 2 years ago
I know the nature of a traditional blast, maybe it was a mistake on my part. Nonetheless, good video.
brutalballs99 2 years ago
no offense but that was really off tempo and slow
forjoeyjunior15 2 years ago
Lots of offense but that was moronic and utterly obvious. Yes it's slow, I can't play much faster. Off tempo? There is one point in the song where the metronome stops and I turn it back on and speed up slightly to get in time with it but besides that, bullshit.
Learn what playing in time constitutes before you embaress yourself on the world of youtube like all too many people.
philosoful 2 years ago
i was talking about the blast beats... you are really erogent you cant accept any thing thats not saying your the best in the world
forjoeyjunior15 2 years ago 2
It's spelt arrogant by the way. You say it was slow where I've slown it down so I can play it to the best of my ability (I.e not as good as George & people who can play it faster) & then say I can't accept anything that's not saying I'm the best in the world? Contradiction.
There are 1 or 2 tiny parts which go out of time+none of them are blast beats, see my above post, perhaps you don't know what a traditional blast is either. You being wrong and me pointing that out does not make me arrogant.
philosoful 2 years ago
i just said the tempo was slow in the first place your freaking out about nothing just watch blastphemer's cover and you will see what i mean
forjoeyjunior15 2 years ago 2
No; you said off tempo and slow, 2 different things. Off tempo implies out of time, which it clearly isn't and yes, it's slower, way to labour the obvious. I have seen Blastphemer's cover not that that has anything to do with it.

carlwh123 2 years ago
Well mics on everything obviously = best way though, like I, you may not have all that haha. Camera too close to cymbals = lots of drowning out of drums like in this vid - compare it to The Essential Salts vid of mine where the camera is far away... hear how much clearer everything is? Especially triggers... Maybe keep the song in the background but a bit quieter so the spotlights on you. Either way, all the best man!
philosoful 2 years ago
Fair enough - I guess to play it properly you need to play it exactly as George does. However, don't take everything Pro Drummers say as Gospel - Drumming is an art and not an exact science. One foot or two foot - gives such similar results it's not worth worrying about - do whatever is most comfortable - seriously I might be naive but I can't hear the difference!
carlwh123 2 years ago
Spot on in your first 2 sentences *nods* =) but I am an utterly-down-to-the-last-detail kind of Musician, for example, on guitar, I play huge, really quite uncomfortable strings, but where it gives a better tone, I endure it for a better result. I CAN hear the difference + I actually find one foot far more comfortable/easier where I've been doing it since day one. Just watched 2 of your vids by the way, cool stuff! Though I'd like to see it without the track in the background/you louder =)
philosoful 2 years ago
The last 2 Vital Remains CD's had Dave Suzuki on drums in the studio and Tim Yeung played live for a while. Look up the video of "Hammer Down the Nails" with Suzuki in the studio - no cheating there - he's damn fast. And "Rush of Deliverence" Live with Tim Yeung on drums - again super fast. As for 2 foot and one foot blasting - it's really just a preference - sometimes I do 2 foot, mostly I do one foot - many drummers are like this...I can't personally hear the difference - that's just me.
carlwh123 2 years ago
I'm of the Dave scenario but you can't see his feet in those videos/clarify if he's playing it. Clearly he is fucking fast indeed though. I was refering to Tim live in which he clearly doesn't do 16ths for the faster passages.
It is a preference thing but this IS Nile and that's how it's played, thus when we are talking of who else can play it, that needs to be taken into account. I can hear the difference although it's harder to hear in better players (of 2 foots) but that is preference =)
philosoful 2 years ago
Hey, good video man - play it at a slower speed and nail it - good initiative. I don't mean to be rude but "a handfull of people" is definitely an understatement. Let's say anyone in the world who can play 8ths@255bpm on all 4 limbs could potentially play this song. Let's start naming names who can do this: Romain Goulon, Flo Mounier, Jordan Varella, Tony Laureno, Mauro Mercurio, James King, John Longstreth, Derek Roddy, Hexen (From the band Hate), Tim Yeung, Jade Simonetto
carlwh123 2 years ago
Andy (From the band Wormed), Max Kolesne, Dave Kinkade, Pete Sandoval, Dave Haley, Reno Killerich, Hellhammer, Inferno, Dave Suzuki, Mike Hamilton, Probably KC Howard, Probably Steve Asheim - probably thousands...I Think I've made my point - you played it very well at 185 but keep at it - for me some big speed improvements happened very suddenly before I knew what hit me. Keep it up man.
carlwh123 2 years ago
See I don't know all those guys could... all are awesome drummers but I'm not sure if any of them actually one foot blast... Derek Roddy seems the most likely to be able to play such. Tim Yeung I'm not sure of - he's killer but Vital Remains (Although quite a bit faster than Nile thanks to some studioing) = triplets on kicks live instead of 16ths. I don't think a handful is an exageration. Sure, there are many people that can play this speed but for this long + accurately + one foot blasts...
philosoful 2 years ago
you should try it up to the correct tempo =)
abacacus 2 years ago
You should note 185bpm is the fastest I can play it accurately and that there's only a handful of people in the world who could play this all the way through at full speed.
philosoful 2 years ago
ive seen i think 2 drum covers on youtube, and im really close to being able to do it, so i think a handful is a bit of an exaggeration but i do realize it's incredibly difficult to play at tempos approaching 260. i think if you practiced though, you could do it. it would take a while, but IMO it would be interesting to see and a good sense of accomplishment. completely your choice however, and good drumming either way.
abacacus 2 years ago
2 drum covers on youtube. How does that imply anything other than a handfull? + chances are those guys are really struggling if playing it cleanly at all, George floors it every time. You have no drumming vids on your page thus I am sceptical of your claim but nothing says proof like a video... thanks either way for the compliment.
philosoful 2 years ago
blastphemer and dethmetaldrummer, they both play it nearly perfectly and cleanly without any reall issue except in blastphemers he messes up a blast near the end. and thats two people that:
a)care enough to make a video
b)have access to a nice camera
c)are high profile enough for a casual youtuber to notice them.
i dont blame you at all for not beliveing me by the way, if i ever get a camera ill post up a video response.
abacacus 2 years ago
Yes, I've seen both of them. I haven't re-checked Blastphemer's but dethmetaldrummer = 2 foot blasts - alot of the straight 16th note fills are abreviated/8th noted/triplets and the lack of trigger presence makes me wonder if he's actually playing accurately. Again, I am 'sceptical' not unbelieving because my evidence isn't solid - but sceptical. Really man, if anyone wants to make a video, in this day and age, it doesn't take much effort. Not putting you down there, just in reference to yourABC
philosoful 2 years ago
whats wrong with two foot blasts? some people just find it easier. blasphemers is two foot blasts as well. and yes, it can take effort if you want a video with semi-decent audio and video quality. if your skeptical about DMD's accuracy at those speed, check out his video were he plays 270-300 BPM, which is quite a bit faster than this song.
abacacus 2 years ago
Nothing is wrong with them but I said a handful of people in the world can play this song full speed and that is part of the song - one footed blasts, it sounds different. Indeed, am currently watching that vid - it is very impressive but I don't think it's entirely tight. Likewise with Blasphemers - again, very impressive stuff, but alot of the time it's 8th triplets, not 16ths, where in the song George plays 16ths.
Ok; only a handful of people in the world can play this music near flawlessly.
philosoful 2 years ago
we just have completely different view points on the matter i suppose. and two footed blasts and one footed blast sound the exact same on a kit with triggered kicks like kollias's. peace, and keep drumming!
abacacus 2 years ago
That's cool man. You sound more respectable then my first post was to you but they do sound slightly differently I think, it is very slight but one foot sounds more 'pushing' it's like straight down strokes and alternate picking on guitar. Peace to you too man, all the best and I'd love to see that video ;-)

WOW, well done for keeping it civil guys. The fact that your replies didn't resort to childishness and ended with mutual respect is a credit to you both.

What is that crash in the middle (on the right)? I like it a lot :)
Hheawy 2 years ago
Middle crash = IS a Paiste 16" signature though I can't remember if it's a reflector or not. Middle as in there's the 2 left chinas, one crash, then the one next to that? That is the middle crash but just wanted to make sure as the Sabian AAX (18") is abit more 'centre' looking in this video.

Why wont you play the song at the rigth speed in other video?, these is like "oh i know tho play the song rigth but at 50 bpm less, whitch has no sense

One must be really quite dim to:
1. Not guess that I can't play it full speed - only a handful of people in the world can.
2. Ironically acuseing my slower playing that it 'whitch has no sense', do you know what irony is? + No videos of you doing any better on your profile... that always seems to be the way with the stupid commenters on this site...

Soon you'll see my videos.
I didnt mean it as a offence, im only curious about why you wont play the song at rigth speed, but well now i realize that you cant do it

nice blue bell man hows it sound in person never heard one in person . they look sic
cannibalonXthedead 2 years ago
Yeah man, it sounds and looks amazing. I'm not very good at describing sounds but it's quite 'industrial' like to me, very dry but it does have quite a bit of overtone. The bell utterly rules as you can hear in this video. The Paiste sound clips on their site = quite accurate to it's sound except you seem to not hear as much of the overtones on the site's clip.
