  • ''i can't play really fast with these pedals'' haha nice one george

  • @666gugi666 Haha, I just scrolled down to write that when I saw your comment

  • remember drummers !

    he spent 16 weeks for double bass

    how many WEEKS did you concentrate on your double bass ONLY ?

  • Another video filmed with a microwave

  • needing another drumkit....this is inspiring

  • hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii i like dat man

  • Is he actually using his heel or just swiveling his feet?

  • i hate that fucker just because he can play faster with one foot than me with 2 foot

  • so uh????

  • i m stuck at level 2 ... PLEASE SOMEONE HAS CHEAT CODE here ?????

  • George's Australian Drum Clinic tour starts this weekend with Allans Music + Billy Hyde! Tickets just $20 to see Dave Haley from Psycroptic too!

  • Extreme metal's insatiable hunger for speed is slowly turning it into somehow a fairy tale of skills and abilities.

  • Take a look at what drummers such as Buddy Rich did with his late 30's hardware for instance (yes, late 30's Slingerland, Rogers and Ludwig!). His bass drum pedal might've been soo rough to operate that even someone as technically proficient as Kollias wouldn't have been able to play one single convincing blast beat with it (fast, clean and lengthy). This is so deeply wrapped in artificialities that his real merit as a technician of his instrument ultimately becomes questionable to me.

  • I find this trigger trend a paradox: Its needed but its also somehow disqualifies you as a drummer since you're using a tool to directly supply something you otherwise would've never been able to do, which is to playing fast double bass drumming with clarity, where every note is perfectly audible. These metal guys use so many triggers its a bit embarrassing. It kinda of crosses the line of the "better gear generates playing benefits" tantrum into the downright cheating zone.

  • "i think it is a great system" - oh yes it is!

  • TheKickassdrummer is a fucking moron. I bet you can't even keep a steady 4/4 in your beloved classic cock band.

    The level of skill and practise thats required to play death metal drums of Kollias' quality are well and truly beyond your neophobic nature.

  • why the spring tension has to be tight i cant understand that

  • @billdim1 Well. The tigher the spring, the faster the beater comes back. And the faster the beater comes back, the faster you can make another stroke.

    This combined with the beaters set at their highest position and a larger beaterangle can give some amazing results (on Axis pedals, most of the time).

  • A question for all drummers: Iron cobra or speed cobra? what you prefer??

  • i cant really go fast with these pedals..... bullshit hes still kickin ass lol

  • George Kollias is a God.

  • ive heard that by using ankle motion while playing really fast could mess up your, well ankles. is this true?

  • @trippletsense Yes...if you do it the wrong way.

  • he usually uses axis long boards too.. which is also why he was going a bit slower

  • anal sex

  • lol, i can't really play fast with these pedals.

  • @Bogandrummer And what pedals do you use?

  • @autopsiante ah no man i meant in the video where he says that

  • Comment removed

  • @circleslammer You completely missed the point, but nice try.

  • @Fugiar and what point is that, troll?

  • @circleslammer Not everyone who disagrees with you is a troll. Welcome to the internet.

  • woww, how do you relax like that..

    I always spaz lol..

  • what are or is "Triggers"??

  • the bass drum sounds like his knocking on d door...

  • thx to youtube for screwing up that video.

  • He say with the full leg motion you can play "two ten maybe two twenty", does it say 210 maybe 220? i'm french and in trouble...

  • Ouai ;p

    210bpm à 220bpm avec full leg motion

  • Yes

  • thanks you!

  • yes 210-220 bpm

  • Dood his feet move so fast you can't see them xD

  • could you put this video with the correct frame or record!!!!, it´s very slow and the movements of the legs cannot see!!!!...tnx!!!

  • the video wasn´t like this a few months ago.fuK youtube is what i have to tell you

  • Word. Youtube fucked it up.

  • first is very seperate strokes, second is heel up, third is swivel technique.

  • @ Thekickassdrummer.

    I'm 30 years old, and i play music since i was 18, so i'm no teenager, and' i'm a fucking metalhead.

    Nothing is Rubbish even if i don't like it, if I don't like it, I simply don't.

    Is not the popularity of the genre that makes the music good: if it was so Britney Spears would be one of the best artist in the world, or spice girls or stuff like that.

    Music is a language, and as the languages there are different kinds of music.

    Learn respect, and please: grow up.

  • I was not in the special Ed. program, in fact i'm a MENSA member (ironic uh?)

    I do have a WOman, and i'm soon getting married, she is a metalhead too.

    I don't hang out with tennagers, since long time ago (nothing bad about teenagers, anyway).

    The fact is that, i can apreciate Chick Corea, Frank Zappa, Billy Cobham, even Benny Goodman (Gene Krupa RULZ!) going up to Led Zeppelin, Mountain, BlackSabbath Skid Row, Metallica Megadeth etc.

    You talk shit simply on what you fail to understand: metal

  • damn thats fucking awesome

  • well too bad.

    he's talking about various techniques here but i can't see the difference between them because the fps are so fucking low!!!

  • poor quality =( its kinda slow

    just listening is all i can do

  • LONG LIVE CARP!!! When all the little kiddies grow up and mature somewhat, all the members of CARP will have no fanbase and you will see them working at McDonalds or Taco Bell wishing that they had learned to make music and not this noise pollution that caters to disturbed teenage boys... They will then be making video's on how to flip a burger at lightning speed!!!! LOL!!!! CARP RULES!!!!!

  • wtf are you talking about? i work my way through college with a job on campus, and w/e gig money comes my way. you claim to have a life yet all you do is come on here and talk shit, come up to RIC and we'll settle this like men

  • I'm on my way...don't start without me!!! LOL

  • Comment trolls FTL

  • hey kickassdrummer where are your kick ass vids on how to play drums....or your kick ass band for that matter....it is because of people like you i listen to metal stuck in your 70's rock world....get with the times grandpa....i also hate reading comments i was hopeing to read something worth while.....you are on the same list as the dude who bagged out dimebag after he died

  • mr "BUNGHOLE 1982" LOL!!!!!!

  • are you retarded? seriously? bungle, your pretty fucking immature

  • Kickass, you have no ideas whAt your talking about right? Double kicks are used to keep tremolo picking in time the kicks go at the same speed of the guitarist's picking hand, and ice seen quite a few non metal bands use this stuff

    Modern rock a few classic bands and most notably; Stevie Ray Vaughn and his band (double trouble?) so stop trolling around with your elitist attitude and just admit he's a better drummer than you.

    Also, George does jazz drumming too

  • I would love to hear him play in the jazz genre. He probably plays it quite well. I just can't stand this obnoxious non dynamic death metal noise. Sorry.....

  • and i cannot stand your obnoxious whining on youtube, if you don't like metal, why watch a video about metal drumming, then leave a comment you KNOW is going to start a fight. go get a life, or maybe try practicing you drums

  • I practice all the time. Now get off the computer and get your ass back to the jr.high school and don't be late!! Lunchtime is over. Good luck on your algebra test.

  • I would like to talk shit to you right now, but then i would be arguing with a 40 something year old, what the fuck man?

  • nice try, sophomore in college, good guess though, maybe you should try making it back to your mom's house before your 9 o'clock curfew, she told me last night that if your home late again, you're grounded

  • Yea, a sophomore in college...Just as I said, a little boy. will mommy and daddy pay your tuition if they find out that you listen to CARP? Why should they pay all that money when all that's going to happen is that you'll be flippin burgers right next to to your hero Kollias? Perhaps if you do ok in college you will make manager and be your hero's boss!!!

  • Lol oh shut up

  • I belive Bob Segar and his band uses Double Bass.

  • @ TheKickassdrummer

    I do respect your opinion, but i would never disrespect a KIND of music, maibe a band or a player but never a Kind of music. playing classic rock aren't we? :P

    Second there are applications even in lighter metal of this tech, and as he explained there are steps: no need to say that if you have not mastered one level , no sense to try the next.

    Fans do dig this kind of skills no matter the style of music, and labels too.

  • Ironically, you like classic rock, which is just about (if not more) stale then the shit you call death metal. Pentatonic scales for the win.

    I don't advocate death metal, I dislike most of it, besides Necrophagist, because they actually don't downtune their guitars so goddamn low you might as well use a fucking bass.

    And it is simply ignorant to say that double bass has no use except in death metal. Maybe it just jeems like that because you enjoy listening to a repetivite rock beat.

  • so u can be fast and play better than u can asshole

  • Nice trying uploading this but your camera is too slow for this drumming

    I can's even see the movement of his feet

  • The video hasn't always been this slow. Check my other video on Kollias. It isn't as crappy as this one.

  • do u know how the pedals were adjusted ?

    i feel everytime i play the drums i have the wrong settings... need good ones ^^ please tell me

  • Pedalsettings on the elims: Black cams, medium tension, stock beaters, stock beater angle, powershifter at the stock position. Oh, and chains.

    His Axis pedalsettings: Iron cobra rubber beaters, springs tightest as possible, beaterangle a bit further to the back (makes it even heavier), 2 toerisers if I'm not mistaking

  • Comment removed

  • wow this dudes CRAZY lol i cant even do stage 3!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!

  • yeah i know. i can only do it for like 1.5 seconds and then i cant do it anymmore

  • lmao the camera barely even picks up his feet moving X)

  • Holy shit...!!!,

  • fuck, he just does it like nothing lol

  • this video is pretty cool man. but u need to learn how to hold a camera still.

  • Hahah I know the camerawork is shitty, but luckily enough for me I didn't film it, a friend of mine did.

  • i have pearl eliminators. i guess i can give this a go!

  • in my opinion, it is all about bouncing and timing forces

  • machine gun :D

  • lol fuckin 50 cal. machine gun

  • no matter what shoes - this guy is just tallented... holy sick ...

    his foot demolish me

  • what kind of shoes is he wearing and why does every one use max out tension

  • He's just wearing regular sporty shoes, nothing special. And the maxed out tension is pretty popular amongst death metal drummers for the responsive feel of the pedal. The faster the beater comes back, the faster you can hit another stroke!

  • Comment removed

  • on his level 2 he's doing like the moonwalk its beast

  • does anyone know what tension he uses on his pedals

  • Maxed out tension.

  • Yeah,Kick as Hell...Long live Nile!!!

  • Always thought that. But a lot of drummers said otherwise.

  • Dude we can't see the fucking video very well, even the technique, we can't see how he moves his foot.

  • george kolias is just a bad ass drummer :) hail NILE !!!

  • bad cam ... you can't see the Technique very well

  • Is he using the molar technique? I can't even tell because of the video.

  • He uses the swivel technique. Not sure how that relates to the molar technique, haven't taken much time to look at the molar but yeah he uses the swivel.

  • thats a hand technique. he is doing the swivel.

  • I know its a hand technique. But many double bass drummers said thats what they used. It's the same technique as hand. Perhaps they just don't know what its truly called.

  • tell them moeller is not a kick technique. they have probably confused it with swivel or something.

  • Kick speed is great, bass kick sounds bad, video really sucks...sorry!

  • he was doing only this during 16 weeks lol. i think it wroth it

  • was that heel-toe??????

  • pablo mono ctm!

  • Kick sounds like shit

  • cant see what he is donig -.-

  • me neither.. video is "slow" -.-

  • I use that third technique more than I do heal toe

  • if a guy could jerk off as fast as georges feet he would only need 3 seconds

  • hed rip "it" off

  • hes to fast for the camera

  • can some one pls back me up with an arguement i have with a moron that has this video

    watch?v=GWJD9zNsYiM

    he thinks this is real double bass played form absu drummer by the name of proscriptor!

    personaly i think its way beyond the rational bpm playable speed!

    and give plenty of shit to the snotty 17y old who think he knows it all!

  • Double Bass drummings

  • My burst speed is pretty high about 240, but too keep up that kind of speed like George Kollias can do, that's much harder.

  • Dam he's good... I'm finally starting to get my feet to do what I wan't and Iäm up in maybe 150 now. Not that high, but considering I couldn't go above like 110 at the start of this year I'm pretty satisfied with my progress ^^. Never ever gonna get as fast as this dude though, he's freaking insane.

  • lol, kollias dissed ur pedals, said he can't play fast on them :P.

  • As every drummer would say, to play with maximum speed you have to play with the set up you have practiced.

  • Lol, i know, im just joshin ya' :P

  • rofl I know.. :P

  • not trying to argue or anthing just trying to prove a point not b/c joey is my favorite drummer but nonavarium joey might not have the fastest feet put have you ever watched his hands don't get me wrong i love nile and dimmu those bands are great but most of there solo's in there songs are the same constant beat really fast whatch the beats joey plays with his hands thats what sets him apart from other drummers and adriano im a maggot and I dont ride on joey you wont see me saying he's the best!

  • well jordison its good.. but there are bunch of better drummer... better and better... his like... a kid .. :D

  • There are better drummers but you can't deny he is a rather good drummer.

  • So what? he's just average, there's no reason to compare him to every drummer on Earth. But sadly, the metal scene is full of faggots...ehm maggots that seem to live just to say, "YEAH JOEY JORDISON IS DA BEST DRUMMER IN DA WORLD BLAH BLAH BLAH SLIPKNOT RULEZ BLAH BLAH" these people know nothing about metal, they're kids that listen to worthless bands just to look like more brutal with their friends. Pathetic.

  • I don't think hes the best and Slipknot aren't technically the heaviest or metalist or whatever band but i prefer Slipknot to other metal bands.

    Also Joey Jordison is above average he isn't the best but you can't deny he has talent plus he isn't just a drummer he knows alot about music also which i bet not all drummers know as much.

  • holly shit how can he do that without moving more his foot!!!!!!!!

  • yeah slickasice6 death metal rules woe of tyrants is awsome and lamb of god kicks butt

  • there is no fuckin way joey can even be compared to george kollias and any way slipknot sucks ass anyway, DEATH METAL IS THE ONLY METAL

  • Your An Idiot

  • yeah seriously, you're an idiot, i was agreeing with you at 1st until that last bit, death metal is not the only true metal

  • Can someone explain me why every fucking drummer must be compared to joey jordison?

  • I know in nearly every video of a drummer they are compared to Joey Jordison which must prove he is an extremely good drummer as everyone always compares to him.

  • OR... maybe some people are so full of their own opinions theyll say anything to convince themselves they are right.. joey jorison can not and will never compare to George Kollias.. its impossible, i wouldnt compare joey jordison to half the drummers i know personally, he is an average drummer, just with extended fame due to a pretty shitty band.... damn

  • I agree technically George Kollias is better but if most drummers are being compared to Joey it means that he must be a rather good drummer for people to compare most drummers to him.

  • well, MrAdAbsurdum has expressed my own opinion, so I have nothing else to say.

  • wtf are you on about .. slipknot is popular music, if you like it or not.. the reason he is compared constantly and incessantly isn't because he is an amazing drummer, its because the posters only knows a handful of drummers and are completely bias in their opinion. I think nile are a big bag of shit.. but this guy is an amazing drummer

  • George Is An Amazing Drummer But All I'm Saying Now Is That Joey Is Better Than Average he Aint The Best But He is A Good Drummer.

    And i've no idea why people decided to argue for so long =S

  • Why Do You Write With A Capital Letter At The Start Of Every Word Lol. You Look Like A Tard... Lol

  • I look like a retard for starting every word with a capital =S

    You must be one to think that.

  • what?? i must be one??

    wth does that mean

    lol

  • damn i still dont know how to go that fast....

  • try until u succeed

  • wat did he say about level 3: the ankle motion? my english skills are low...sorry...

  • sorry man i dnt knw...the audio is kinda crap in thin video

  • yeah, thats the problem...if u know, can u send a comment at my page? ill be adding u as friend.

  • yea

  • Agreed. I wish I could play half as good as any of them.

  • Chris Adler? Derek Roddy?

  • he's sick, joey can go to bed.

  • all this shit about this guy bieng better that joey.....this guy is faster yes defenetly......but thats it...he's only fast.....the music he plays is fast for the sake of fast

  • not only is he fast but he IS better than joey. I like slipknot and joey. and i dislike geroge kollias' band Nile. but i like george's drumming. He has speed and technique. so does joey, but just watch video's of both of these guys and compare. i'm sure you'll realize george is better. =)

  • can someone please tell me if tama iron cobra jr. power glide pedals is good and can you go fast on them i got them and i dont like them. but i just want to see what you others think!

  • eh there good but in my opinion pearl eliminators are the greatest pedals money can buy

  • You can go fast on any pedals if you adjust them right...I like Axis Longboards and those new Pearl Demon Drives. Just head over to a local drum shop or music store and try some out.

  • dude joey is amazing but hes pretty fagg now.

    he should have never left anal blast.

    and george is better anyways.

    but also IMO i think Scott Ellis is better then george

  • yea george is better

    are you from des moines or something coz anal blast havent made records did they?

  • like vinyl?

    not that i kno of

    they put out the puss blood pentagram demo in 94'

    then vaginal vampire (full length) in 98'

    they r also on perversion...and the guilt after split with cephalic carnage

    they have a couple more cds and just pit out a DVD last year.

  • Do you have a source to back up this statement? Or are you just making stuff up?

  • jordison? 280 bpm? where? you know what 280 bpm means, right?

  • Its spelt "Muscles" you illiterate clown!!

  • ahahaha lol musculs:D:D:D Look at Kollias - his musculs like shit!

    In drumming all that u need is a full relax and good technique!

  • what brand is that pedal? are most of pedals so light like that?

  • Pearl Eliminator

  • The lightness depends on the tension

  • Pearl Eliminators, which Joey Jordison uses.

    And the tension of the spring on the pedal affects it's lightness.

    xo.

  • there's a drum solo video on youtube of jordison where you can see that he uses iron cobras. he just says that: "i use pearl eliminater and i swear by them" WRONG

  • una cagada total el video.

  • okay im still like a newbie at double bassing... so yeah...

    if you try to go as fast as you can like if a newbie like me played The Lights That Blind... does ur legs hurt at first at takes time to get used to?

    And responds please

  • Obviously u need to develop stamina and muscle to play for a long period of time, but its also technique that helps alot. Better technique will help u play longer faster and use less energy.

  • NEVER PLAY when u start feeling pain on your hands or feet u will end up with tendonitis(sundrome that effects the nerves and tenodes ony our body) wich will cause u 2 quit playing the drums for months or years even! As much intense the music gets the more relaxed try 2 play take it as a rule.Enjoy your playing!

  • @ 2ra0bid9, really if you want to do this type of drumming, you almost need to incorporate a separate fitness program just to build your muscle strength and your muscle / cardiovascular stamina. This is demanding shit.
