George Kollias

[llFleminll]

lol top two comments make me giggle... i dont agree with them it just makes me laugh as if you know the people i know this guy is massively over rated and you need to check out tim yeung.

[monkeychunkey]

0:23 i was like, dayumm... Now thats some pretty fast f'n double bass...then comes 0:33 BLAHHHH wait.... WAHT???

[wrbbdrummer89]

Holy mother of mary holding jesus christ while talking to gods children and yelling at god and the devil himself......This dude is waay too fast to be human :/ Teach me!!

[slasherxr8]

lol ur name looks liek gorge lopeeeeez

[Rockzo6195]

He's been playing for like 30 years, Nile was around in the 80's

[Bowjester24]

It sounds really great how clear he play the double bass :>

[Mysticyautja]

this may seem like only speed and not too much skill but it's unbelieveably hard to keep it that even at higher speeds, props to George

[albertsification]

and another thing,it sounds really gay when people start calling george a god,hes not a god ,hes just straight up fucken awesome.

[albertsification]

slipknot has an amazing!!! groove and musical feel whats to hate? i know there are a shit load of great drummers out there but that doesnt make joey shit,i mean come on guys slipknot have given the world some of the heaviest shit out there.im just getting pissed off with retards out there bagging on slipknot all over youtube.

[xdaggothx]

this drummer is a Machine, this is very exciting to watch!!

[dannywiskey13]

Shitknot, overrated cuz they have no talent, the only reason people like them is because they wear Halloween masks, Big Deal, No fukin Talent,

[ZEROxCOOLx]

Joey is a great drummer otherwise people would like him, but there are better drummers like the dude from dream theater. Other than that this guy isnt the best in the world, 6/10

[xXxdaguitarfreakxXx]

joey is like a king... over rated, everybody loves him for almost nothing.

george, however, is like a god, and could completely demolish joey.

[imapisces23]

hahahah at 0:55 he yells YUP like what you got on this double bass mayng

[MarioK593]

:D man I was like "he isnt gonna get any faster, that's impossible"...

then i started to cry :D

[drummerchris22]

why are people crying that george kollias a very famous drummer insent being noticed? as you can see by the the fucking views id say people know who he his

[metal198957]

Where is this, in a school?

[joaobuatim]

fucking brutal

[Kronkorkenkoter]

bad im better dan him

[MetalMexican13]

your a gay nigger

[MASSRCOR]

just watching george kollias videos for a few years has made me a much better (and faster) drummer.

thnx george!!! keep doing what you do... RULE!!! \m/ and joey is a kickass drummer and all, but he just isnt quite up to georges level. and i dgaf about inferno.

[ripchuckshuldiner1]

sounds like a woodpecker on ecstacy :D

[erikimba]

hole or not hole in the bass drum head? what do you recommend me, i play most metal and latin

[maqsabre]

slipknot = shitknot

one of the most over -rated bands

talented players like George Kollias are under-rated. this injustice annoys me very much.

[octapanda]

@maqsabre its shitsnot ;)

[jjjduce]

the only reason people think slipknot are overrated is becuz they actually made it. a bands goal is to make it to the top and when they do all u guys do is say that they are over rated or sellouts. its bullshit. Nile havent blown up like slipknot has, although it is very much deserved and you can see their talent with george. they are amazing. but you cant take away from what one band has accomplished becuz of what another hasnt. plus everyone in the metal world respects nile so who gives a fuck

[EternalSolstice]

Slipknot is overrated because most of the members are talentless! INCLUDING THEIR DRUMMER Who cannot keep a sturdy beat, cannot do double bass, cannot blast beat, cannot play drums full stop. Completely talentless and the most overrated drummer ever to walk the Earth.

I will say Corey has an amazing voice though

[shreddmasterj]

@EternalSolstice There is nothing wrong with Joey Jordison's drumming. I have heard and seen ALOT of his videos, he can blast very well, for the tempo necessary to match the music. While Blast beats = a high degree of talent, Not being able to blast does not mean that one is bad. He keeps a very good beat IMO... I think he is a good drummer.

[128james]

@shreddmasterj i like turtles

[dannywiskey13]

@shreddmasterj Joey is a good Drummer, but the problem is that he is in the World Most Over-Rated Band Known To MAnkind and Thats Shitknot.

[jjjduce]

he wouldnt be on the top 100 drummers list if he was talentless. he also wouldnt be respected by so many drummers if he was talentless. hes amazing at double bass, hes not as fast as george but thats cuz george is abnormally fast. when u state that a drummer and/or band has no talent when they obviously do and have the sales, shows, fanbase, and music to show it, it shows like the line between having your own opinion and just plan ignorance

[HeavyMetalFan222]

You obviously don't know a shit about what your saying. The band members of slipknot are highly talented and make very good music. #1: The lyrics are great. #2: There music has really hardcore elements to it that make you want to band your head until brains come out your ears.

#3: They are idolized by many people around the world. Is that enough?

[Terrorschlag]

How can you say that? They have like 9 members or something, two of them are just beating on some barrels or something, then you have a DJ/sample guy? How is he talented?

[Blacklorigine]

eternalsolstice => I thinks you're right, except when you say Jordison is the most overrater... There is ONE drummer more overrated => Lars ulrich, who just can't play drum.

[hellomotto9999]

1.joey is a good drummer nothing wrong with him

2.he has two talents he is good on the drums and he is a guitarist for the band murder dolls.

[Terrorschlag]

So? Somebody said they were ALL talented, right? This is just Joey and I also acknowledge that he is talentend.

[hellomotto9999]

i did have another coment but i removed it lol they are all pretty talented well banging kegs with baseball bats i agree with u not realy but dj starscream is pretty good most know him as sid or #0 also corey taylor and the guitarists are pretty good

[TheRageAndGrace]

Well, he doesn't have a "talent" I'm sure he learned and practiced, that's not a talent, that's quite common actually.

[MASSRCOR]

@TheRageAndGrace woah dude, he is very talented. he is just showing the audience a dbl kick warm up technique, this is a clip of a clinic in europe. watch his other videos if you want to see some real metal drumming.

[onex3dg1]

@EternalSolstice NO BLAST BEATS!? You obviously HAVE NOT heard their new album All Hope Is Gone. There is CLEARLY blast beats played in the first minute or so. It takes a lot of balls to say lies about a drummer who's music you clearly don't listen to.

[L93R]

@EternalSolstice Talk about freedom of speech...

[HeavyMetalFan222]

most true thing i've ever heard in my life

[jjjduce]

thanks dude. im glad someone agrees.

[TheCrushedCan]

@maqsabre Underrated? Hardly. Their music just isn't accessible, they do it to themselves. Not to mention technical skill =! good music.

[Tuplabotti]

@maqsabre yes this guy is better than jordison, but that makes slipknot ''shitkont'' fuck you dude so ignorant

[overlord3069]

no foot cam!!!????

[TheJupetsu]

slipknot = band full of trolls

[eatingyourbreadcrust]

Sounds like a sub-machine gun with a silencer on full-auto

[monkeychunkey]

u know how crazy it would sound if he set the triggers to do double hits? you know what, they couldn't even keep up. They would just explode trying to kepp up. hahaha.

[whitepww]

NILE \,,/

[Dimmuborgir6969]

all triggers to is clean up the sound of the bass drum more or less amplfys it imo doesnt help you play faster or steady thats all on the drummer.

[RICKYFALL]

I agree with you, to say that "using triggers is cheating" is like saying that using whammy bar or whammy pedals on guitars is cheating, is just wrong.

Hail George Kollias

[katlock7]

ta spaei!!!

[Herlastod]

Fast but it's just don't sound good. if you put a metronome he can't keep is time

[ddrumdude]

A metronome's for beginners lol, unless you're recording in the studio.

[TheBadassDrummer]

AMAZING

[fatalkill101]

what are ya talking about man?? listen to his groove drum paterns hes AMAZING!!

[AsG1989]

hes only a speed drummer though, he cant play slow, when he tried to slow down he screwed up

[HrSune]

He's the fastest ever

[DrummaMuFucka]

what a fuckin machine!!

[Nilerulesall]

yea hellhammer is fuckin sick but comes nothing to george kollias

[Magrufand]

That's bullshit.

[iamqqqqqqq]

PS My comment was not to incite any "TRIGGERS ARE GAY UHHUHUH" e-debate, I'm just saying things I think I know

[EternalSolstice]

I just came :p

[hippolove100]

this dude is fuckin SICK!!!!! woot woot!!

[Nilerulesall]

HELL YEA HAHAHAHAHA You guys are pissed because you just seen the fastest drummer in the world which beats the shit out of joey or ANY other drummer in metal

[hippolove100]

dont forget about HELLHAMMER! lol :D

[reeporaptor21]

he can reach up to 280 bpm, george kollias 0.0

[DD8081]

more I read something about george in nile during recording songs, he hit like 303 or something close to that

[Toumbid]

eee Inferno can reach up to 340... :O

[DD8081]

Oh yeah I'm sure he could, but how long can he hold it? Kollias can hold 300+ for minutes on end. I'm sure a lot of drummers could do 340 for a few seconds

[55k666]

aparently he warms up for two hours before a gig this guys all about perfection no wonder hes so good at endurence and control

[iamqqqqqqq]

Inferno is super fast, but doesn't he use triggers, whereas Kollias is just a ridiculously strong drummer?

His single foot blasts are better than almost any other drummer's two-foot blasts, and no triggers are even necessary...

[Indoctrination]

wtf !!!!!!! would people please like to stop thinking that triggers are made to play faster !!! okay you can program them to play 2 beats(or more) with every beat you play , but neither george kollias ore inferno do that !! they just use triggers to HEAR te bassdrum clearer, bcz when you play at that speed it(s very hard to hear your bassdrum clear. Almost nobody in the professional drumlevel use triggers to sound faster ( becz you ain't playing faster, you just sound like it)

[ddrumdude]

Yeah exactly. Why the hell do people keep saying triggers are cheating? WTF? lol

[detulid]

inferno uses triggers. almost 100% of death metal drummers do or should use triggers. plus inferno is the biggest fluff hitter i've ever seen.

[thrashmetalz666]

you really think that?

[Magrufand]

No. He's gay, and so is Slipknot and everything they stand for.

[FelixB666XD]

Go die in a hole.

[Magrufand]

Go listen to shitty music.

[FelixB666XD]

Ill stick with what I've got thanks, not in anymood to change my music

[Magrufand]

I bet you grinned when you wrote that. How old are you man?

[FelixB666XD]

What d'you have against Slipknot?

They're a good band

[ScreamxBloodyxGore]

Slipknots pretty bad but not nearly as terrible as shit like Anal Cunt.

[parquar]

don't associate this GREAT drummer with anything Slipknot or nu metal or other miscellaneous garbage

[jjjduce]

slipknot isnt nu metal.

[PetieFr]

slipknot is pussy metal

[Moshhpit]

slipknot is pussy metal #2

[nickoo2nickoo2]

Lars lrich actually sucks at drumming but is perfect for metallics

[Toumbid]

Well, Lars Urlich was some 20 - 30 years before was one of the best, but only because most of the drummers back then weren't focused on speed, but in technique. Now he's only a worm. (Especially talking about Metallica)

[shreddmasterj]

Lars is currently banned from posting any videos of himself because he discourages all drummers and kills their spirit.

[pingpongpung]

You are indeed retarded....

[chrisneedham62]

sooooooooo fast

[zaganos0pasa]

he is a living legend!!

[j3m1a1n]

I like Slipknot, but that's not why I'm watching this video. George Kollias is one of the craziest drummers I've ever seen. The shit he does is inhuman. NOT HUMAN! Rock on!

[heartsalots]

joey wishes he was this talented

[cullan27]

i dont know y the fuck any1 is talkin bout slipknot on a fukin george kollias vid u r bringing disgrace to this amazin drummer by talkin about a stupid mainstream bullshit band!!!!!

[MetalChild96]

that is superfast!!!

[drumnerd1975]

OK boys...I don't think slipknot is the best metal band in the world.  My whole point is this...you two can kick back behind your computers and bash a band that has obviously blown up and is now huge. I like slipknot but i don't consider myself a maggot by any means. Honestly you both sound jealous that you aren't in their shoes. As far as corey taylor or Joey Jordison thanking me for sticking up for them. I could really care less if they do. Im not looking for a pat on the back

[JordyFree]

I mean yeah, I would love to wear a mask and sing about how shitty my life is, and how I hate everyone and everything and get paid for it.

It's a dream.

[sensorium3]

machine gun!!!!

[JordyFree]

For the kids who think they are proving a point when they wear wristbands with the anarchy logo on them( purchased at Hot Topic of course), Slipknot is a band filled with ignorant bastards who nothing about technique and writing.

[drumnerd1975]

so do you even know them???? So if they have no technique or writing skills then why are they doing so well? Hmmmm sounds like your jelous. WOUld like to see if you can better fuck tard.

[JordyFree]

I'm so sorry to disappoint you and your Mudvayne crew. But the reason that Slipknot happens to be doing so well is due to the fact of how easy it is to buy a Slipknot shirt. Kids see these dumb ass men in these stupid fucking masks, and they think, "This is rebellious! This is HEAVY!" They talk their mom into buying them a shirt, and buy their edited CD's at Wal Mart.

They are smart, but on the same level as ICP. Stupid lyrics and shock value from appearance makes for good publicity.

[dannyboi9891]

very well worded my man. people (kids) that listen to slipknot think that slipknot is the craziest, heaviest most rebeliouos band in the world simply because "if its metal and you can listen to it on the radio it must be the best metal band in the world" when in reality they're the same type of musician as chris brown usher and all those other kiddy musicians. simply put they are "pop" musicians

[dannyboi9891]

do you think you're being a martyr sticking up for slipknot? do you think becuase of you're comment corey taylor and joey jordison are going to show up to you're house and thank you for sticking up for them? no? exactly, slipknot are pop musicians just like all the other "bands" like the monkeys, the wiggles and stone sour. They're doing so well because they're shoved down your throat as the best there was, is, and ever will be just like the other "metal" bands you pride yourself on listening to

[JordyFree]

Exactly.

Wise man you are.

[kakgubben]

An UZI! Whow, i always thaught Joey Jordison was fastest in the world on double bass... Until now :P

[OriginalMammelukken]

Nah, MANY are faster and better than Jordison in any way

[eric20ike]

Typical Slipknot fan...they know nothing about metal at all.

[OriginalMammelukken]

truely XD

[MasterOfAllPros]

hey everyone, look at the bottom ,his feet are moving really slowly, WEIRDDDDDDDDD

[mads2k]

That's 'cause he uses his ankles..

[benboy19]

he uses the swivel technique

[TheDistanceBetween]

Haha, George has a cool youtube name.

GK drummer = Greek Drummer, or George Kollias drummer. :P

[thehunte7]

He must have replaceable feet or something.

[MasterOfAllPros]

lol replaceable feet, more like a fake video.

[SeedOfCannibalism]

This video is not fake you dumbass

[jamesdizzle420]

dude this is a drum clinic video why dont u look up his oter vids before you talk shit on something u dont know!!!

[OriginalMammelukken]

True, it's about moving your legs as little as possible and just using ankles

[NiggoClimb]

It is dude look for his channel his name is gkdrummer

[amoergosum3]

It's pretty incredible that this is physical possible...

[FollowHim4Eternity]

Ya, i would love a shot of this guys feet. I wouldn't be surprised if he could break the sound barrier or go faster than the speed of light with them feet or some shit.

[Discreetarcher3]

pfft thats no machine gun...

thats a mini gun!!

[fneilp]

they should've gotten a shot at his feet

cause i want to see that shit

[Blacklorigine]

What is this speed?oO

[stupidguyaabbcc]

100-150-200-250

[MrAdAbsurdum]

i think the final would be between 290 to 310... it is what he is known for but the other speeds are just about dead on... 250 is to slow for the final speed

[21sabiandrummer67]

I think the final bpm is like 270-280, somethin like that

[szyna922]

Only speed... But check his other videos. He's very good drummer

[TM1rockets1512]

its sounds fake. hes so good

[WuTangClan69]

But really, if someone can play anything, then he could also play with groove. There is almost nothing Kollias can't play, but he only plays this because death metal happens to be his style.

[Juandisimo]

Finally someone intelligent.

[WuTangClan69]

Haha, nothing like seeing a dumb fanboy get owned on his own video. Good stuff.

[tamakit123]

energizer bunny =]

[raptercollins555]

a fucking machine gun?? its like 20 machine guns times a 100 speed!!

[fastbastard69]

He is using some kind of a hacking program.

LOL. Just kidding. I know Kollias is one of the fastest drummers

[kendevore]

for real man, its just a demo. on record, george is a mad man. he by far on of the most technical drummers alive. he stomps almost everyone else. literally and metaphorically.

[ScreamxBloodyxGore]

Ooh look how fast I am. Sorry to say this, but any drummer who focuses purely on speed and plays with zero groove versatility (his jazz sucks sorry) or tastefulness is trash. People usually like fast playing so much because it's easy to comprehend, and that's it.

[OriginalMammelukken]

It is just a speed demonstration, he can keep this up while playing more advances stuff too. He has the same speed in the songs he play, ofc for those who know Nile, the drums are pretty good

[drummiebear]

kid, ur a bitch! don't even attempt to act like you know what you're talking about

[shreddmasterj]

Its a speed demo. But im glad your ignorance has refrained you from looking at his other vids. You really dont deserve to watch view his talent... -> gtfo

[Pseudopathaso]

Every virtuosic or well-respected musician will always have something to bitch about. Get over it, fool.

Kollias isn't god, but he's amazing to say the least.

[Metallicman1985]

Shiiiite man, hes good.

[bearblaster420]

man if u turned this up really loud and started playing it around people on drugs. garanteed there is no way they would have a good trip lol. this gave me a bad trip and i'm sobre as a judge

[FelixB666XD]

wow that was insane

[gamakigi]

it's a machine gun

[xiiieternal]

wow, this sounds like a metronome

[popeye2mil]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT lol

[nymphetamine93]

sana insan diyenin ...

[xDaNiEldrummerx]

no

he's just fast

[250bpmshaun]

So he doesnt, dont post when you dont know what he does, he uses his own technique, swivel foot, he does NOT use heel toe!

[250bpmshaun]

NO*

[AlabamaManWhore]

I can't believe someone even brought up Joey Jordison in comparison to this guy.

Holy shit I lost ten pounds laughing at the thought of Joey playing as fast as George.

[all12997]

ELa re ellina mou !8eos ise

[ryanrk0]

what the fuck just happened! that was insane! omg if only i could go half that fast with my double bass...

[decentdrummer911]

i wish i could go a quarter fast :-/

[fjslf]

etsi re malakes!! ellinara to paidi kai gamaei..

[shreddmasterj]

To the morons who post about him "lacking skill"...once again...this is a demonstration of progressively faster bass drums while playing along to a click track in 4/4 and 3/4 time increasingly. He is not showing off his overall skill, if you want to see his versatility, look up his DVD clips or of him solo playing in the studio.

[bballhomerun66]

triggers dont give you faster double bass. wow

[perikoguevara789]

he looks like CM PUNK!! LMFAO!

[san21893]

fuck u watch his technique and see he brings his fucking beaters back to his shins. joey jordison dont got shit on nile

[amlaped09]

EPIC LAWLZZZ

[metaldimmu]

Joey uses them too and he ain't got shit on George!

[blackie932]

And what makes you believe that Joey doesnt use triggers? besides Kollias is eons better than Joey... Joey is a mediocore drummer! Kollias is a very good drummer! and btw, triggers doesnt make it easier to play, but all you "non-drummers" think that its cheating, and sped up, but that is just your ignorance speaking!

[BlackMetalDrummer760]

dude joey is nothing compared to him

[kafrikios]

fuck you and joey ... go and watch your fucking numetal shit shut up

[KEVIND666]

haha yeah

thats sweet. great control and sounds a bit like a chainsaw switching rpms.
