Nile-Blessed Dead (drum shot)

[HabAnagarek]

I love it when he's blasting and headbanging. George loves what he does.

[nightmare355]

His endurance is amazing. If I played like that I think my arms would fell off. It will be instant amputation.

[pestarmageddon]

This is fucking insane....

[MrBlackincarnation]

and on the 8th day the lord said , let their be George Kollias..... and so it was

[Indomitto666]

• Que pinche puta perra massacre...Nunca Deja De Mover Las Manos, BROKENHOP

[CarcPazu]

My favorite Nile song! This one is extremely punishing on the drums. Great composition. imo Nile has one of the best song writing in the genre.

[agentaxe]

who is Ulrich?

[doublebassrox]

God id hate to be his drumheads

[Joshuser]

Fucking Sick and fucking awesome.

[Blacklorigine]

Has you endurance no limits?

[headdonkeys]

Fake. He's a drumming robot obviously.

[albanuh]

George.

My Master!!

:D

[allmetaliswelcome]

that practicing on your legs probably hurts!

[brutaldeath15]

All the technic i have i lernt from him... from his videos... is my main inspiration... in second place i have Marco Pitruzzella... and the drummer from Born Of Osiris... from who i have no name

[SeedOfCannibalism]

Goerge is fucking insane and I could only wish to be as good as him, and in my year of playing drums he's been my main inspiration

[malfarius]

brutal cadence!!!!

[XOdenXHorusXZeusX]

SImply amazing... My favorite Drummer and my Favorite Guitarist (Karl Sanders up in the front there) both in one video haha :)

[XOdenXHorusXZeusX]

Fuck you motherfucker... Show some damn respect, this video was uploaded by George Kollias himself (notice the gkdrummer?) and if it weren't for Karl he probably wouldn't be in the band so George may of taken offense at what you just said, idiot.

[Rhythm6of6Hell6]

Definetly one if not the best death drummer in the world.

WTF, not only for his (insane) one-foot blasts, but how the hell can he play that fills so precise and clean at that speed.

You need 10 years of training at least...

[vault2077]

FUCK!!!!

[Inveracity91]

2:06 so fuckin heavy

[bigburnern]

such skill... such precision... damn thats the ultimate drummer right there blasting out beats and headbanging

[Spiritcrushr9666]

One of the best drummers in the world IMO.

[colclumper]

in my 20 years of listening to death metal this is the most insane drummer of em all

[BornToGetCrabs]

The Blessed Dead or: Endless Death Metal Drum Fills for the Gods.

[dereistic01]

its like theyre not even playing the same song. the band is playing one, and this dude is just rocking out.

[NikZak83]

OK now I'm gonna put my drumset on fire

and from now on I'll try to learn flute

[infectiousfiles]

this is so awesome ..where in Portugal is this?

[alcerated]

not human, fucking amazing

[LiamTheDrummer911]

as much as i admire his speed, god damn, i admire his stamina way more.

[DXDanselasDX]

...............this is one of the best drummers i have ever seen

[tamadreaming]

their has to be a 3rd arm in there i know!

[Junnification]

No doubt, he's the best drummer i've ever seem. His speed is fuckin absurd! UR THE BEST

[BloodPython67]

He's a fucking octopus on ecstasy!

[pestarmageddon]

@BloodPython67

More like an octopus on speed.

[Beckerdimebag]

Nile is one of the bast bands in the scene!

[Bizzlesnort]

Dont like the band alot, but their drummer is amazing.

[Jwflo85]

Nile fucking owns.

[BringerofDeath3]

Tony Laureano used so many snare fills on this album.

[palladinevemarcia]

as we say in Turin: DIOFAUS!

[Tyberious123]

i only saw half of that cuz i jizzed all over my computer screen about halfway through

[MrFlue]

Lol u sick pervert :p

[nabim123]

@Tyberious123 your comment made my day man

[Sinister3345]

Evil.

[metalstylex]

playing extreme metal drums is harder than jazz . not the technique but the tempo and the resistence^^

[JonnyWedel]

aaaa, jazz has too many rules, it's like opera. The only reason it's hard is cus you have to follow these strict guidlines or it's not "jazz" But theres tons of other things you could do that are harder in many ways.

[nifunifasoa]

WTF? are you fuckin nuts? where do you think that metal drummers learn all the tecniques? they got them from no where? for example in these video GK its using the moeller tecnique in the blast beats, where do you think he get it? GK learn to play whit John Stavropoulos a GREAT greek jazz drummer, soo... SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU KNOW NOTHING

[jjdrummer108]

i said jazz and all that inspired this fuck tard. learn to read. he may he used that technique but hes incorporating it into this hard style. so hes doing exactly what i said and im still right and ur retarded? good argument kid.

[nifunifasoa]

Wtf?you was trashin Jazz and all generes that isnt metal you fucking dick. playin metal isnt hard, its all about being quick, and do the thing rigth, it doesnt have any variation, doesent have poly-rythms, doesnt require too mutch imagination. I love Kollias and he's a great drummer but he isnt the best, or at least in the videos i've seen. Grate tecnique, grate endurance, grate all, but he just isnt creative at all, well i think that the drums of Nile cant be soo creative, its alla about speed

[jjdrummer108]

lol? if u think this song took no imagination to make and isnt as creative as jazz than u must be taking some sick drugs man. your absolutely clueless with music and u clearly dont even play an instrument so how about u do urself a favor and stop looking like a dumbass?

[nifunifasoa]

Man, im a metal drummer, check out my band, its called nonus aequilibrium, i learned to play drums by earin pure metal and i can tell you, playing metal its fucking brutal and you feel pretty sick by playin that fast, but in the end, you're just reapeatin the same shit over and over and you wont advance, check in these video, for example how many different fills does kollias does... its the same patern over and over snare-tom-snare-cymbal all at a super fast speed.

[jjdrummer108]

so am i. thats why u mix it up. this type of metal IS repetitive but not all metal is like that. and ofc kollias does the same pattern over and over hes not that good. hes just fast

[mrkibbles369]

Kollias is great, check out some of his stuff, preticularly "Cerebrum-Pattern Of Fear (drum cam)" very creative, I think it will show case some of his other talents rather than speed.

[VvdisgorgevV]

I'm not siding with anyone here, however Kollias is very creative, listen to Sarcophagous off the same album.

[RedOnChrome]

kollias didn`t play on that album....

[VvdisgorgevV]

Oh wow, I'll be damned. Shoulda checked before posting, I always thought he played on that album. Sorry Tony Laureano...

[randcfan]

every heard pof meshuggah or ANY technical metal band? LOTS of metal band use polyrythmns and technical patters, shut your mouth when your talking about something you know nothing of

[nifunifasoa]

WTF? man, you dont know what we are talkin about so shut the fuck up.... we're not talkin about that ANY metal drummers use the same shit, just that kollias isnt that creative as anyone says

[mrkibbles369]

i thought his stuff in ithytallic was pretty creative, his stuff away from nile is pretty creative to.

[nifunifasoa]

Oh! thats true i forgot the solo stuff, yeah, its increadibly creative, i think its really REALLY mad, but in ithyphalic i wont hear a 100% of his creativity, maybe 60 or 70%. P.s.:the stuff that he does whit the two hihats, and the bass drum is REALLY incredible imo hehe

[JonnyWedel]

wow, all this cus of my one little comment? HAHAHAHAHAHA. well as a side note, i wasn't disrespecting jazz at all. Most things originated from what came before it in drumming. the Moeller technique actually was developed by a drummer in the military a long time ago. He taught other drummers like Sanford A Moeller who perfected it and named it, and he taught his students.

[JonnyWedel]

and another interesting thing is that Traditional grip is exactly that. Drummers in the military had there drums leaning to one side, so it was very awkward to play match grip. they invented trad grip as an easy more ergonomic way to play. and so they taught others how to drum, including the people the played drum sets, but it just carried on anyway. Even though it is very un ergonomic technically speaking to play trad grip on a standard drum set set up.

[liquidknowledg4]

Lets just all agree that Derek and George are great musicians and cannot be compared to each other in terms of skill.

[Metalkevmo]

agreed definitly

[skater15153]

i think they can be compared...they both fucking RULE!

[wwedude1]

Where are the overhead shots coming from? It looks like they need tighter security in their heating ducts...

[BloodPython67]

i think george put a camera up there, considering this is his youtube channel.

I might be wrong though....

[Maexxnus]

jesus fucking christ.. his hands are like uzis firing beats... these guys are GODS

[Kounnas]

he does blast beats with one foot too,he;s fucking crazy...wish i could do that.

[BurningBarefoot]

uzis are slower  :)

[bongky26]

amazing!!is it possible to be human like that!!where did you get ur stamina?!its like Corrupt Insanity!!

[bongky26]

Amazing!!!you're like fucking superman!!where did you get ur stamina?its fucking Insane!!

[penPONG1230]

fuck! he never miss a note!! he is the fastest drummer for me! hahah..

[truespin2003]

George seriously, your just making everyone els look bad. stop it please

[4Death2KlaaT0]

O M F G

that was incredible !!!

in fuckin sane

[emailshashwat]

he's like a faster version of Ringo Starr... he even faster than Lars Ulrich..the metallica drummer... anyways also fast was this guy who owns corbas and playes for Eight Infernal...earlier Nine.

[sPiNcH]

"he even faster than Lars Ulrich.." - haha..george is faster with one leg, than lars with two..

[jhaith]

yeah, he's fast. shame the song is shit ;)

[1fox3]

omfg Lars is fucking looser he doesnt know how to play drums..

[Crooopy]

Lars is a great drummer, but Geroge is the greatest!!!!!!

[1fox3]

No he isn't. His solos are jsut lame without a creative point and what's drumming about? About Lars's only doublebass and 4th notes snare hitting? No, it's about creativity-simply.

[dontrickrollme]

I wouldn't say Lars is lame hes good for that kind of metal but the drumming is a little too easy. George plays death metal which is the hardest thing to play on drums.

[1fox3]

ok i wrote that bad,yes Lars play little easy but why the hell they shout, Laras,Lars! He's the number one greatest megasuper drummer in the world.. thats what i dont like ;]

[MonkeyBuisnessInc]

jazz is the hardest thing to play on drums.

[dontrickrollme]

Not at all I started out on jazz. Its just a matter of timing everything properly jazz is easy to play.

[skater15153]

depends on where you come from...it you started playing jazz and that's what you play then no...and guys of Georges and Dereks caliber can play jazz no problem. Jazz is just a matter of feel and independence...both of which they have if you've seen them play other styles.

[cheater456]

nope, metal is.

[cheater456]

death metal*

[Skaflar]

HAHAHa! Spinch, I just died laughing. You my friend, have spoken the truest words known to humanity.

[truespin2003]

hahahahaha compairing nike to job for a brokeback. you have absolutly no idea what you are on about, you should be listning to some RnB mate.

[metalhead321]

@sPiNcH uhh Lars... who is that? :)

[MrLPLover21]

@sPiNcH Listen to Mike Mangini...

[TRiToX91]

@sPiNcH lars is a fucking crack head. he's not even a good drummer xD

[mfoytek]

whats really funny is how ringo starr claimed that he was the best drummer alive

[callum0123456]

you mean derek roddy

who played for nile then HATE ETERNAL not eight infernal

and yes he has a snake farm

i wouldnt say hes faster than george but he is more creative

id say they are both on par with each other

[LISQIA]

derek is no where NEAR Kollias's speed

[callum0123456]

derek can play around 260 in hate etarnal etc. and kollias plays around 270 in nile

not that much of a difference

[willienewson]

the problem is the derek doesnt play with hate eternal anymore

[emailshashwat]

WOOOOOOOW!!! Thats better than Lars Ulrich!

[poopsinhispans]

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllll­llllllllllll yea check out derek rody

[runcis182]

every Nile song on drums is like fcking insane drum solo ...

[alibaba2]

YEEEEEEAH

[MetalHead4Jesus777]

Hell yea!

[Dank420Nugz]

that shit is tight..my favorite youtube video is the one of George playing burning pits at this show..too bad its only one of the two cameras

[yourexjustxjealous]

:|

holy shit!

you're a fucking god

[zekatrekafiufiu]

I WAS THERE!!!!!!And got the oportunity to speak with the men..fuckin' cool guy, very down to earth (as all of Nile)!

[ibz11]

Pfsh. I could do better.

BEfore everyone attacks me with GK is the best drummer ever rants, don't bother. I already know this. It was simply a joke. GK owns.

[DrummerFromFinland]

It´s crazy how close this is to the CD version.

You´re the man George

[unknownspaceadorer94]

awesome! the fill's are great!

[KrimhKerim]

Great! >=)

[slnd]
