[chickenbeforeegg]

3:07 That was groovy! :D

[benblackburn2693]

3:15 i was able to play that then it got complicated

[alkleiza1995]

Great he made an instructional video and all but seriously no person on earth but him could play this

[seventhrise1]

o_O

[rouxlas26]

AXIS einai file gamane alla einai ligo akriva...

[DeMoSheFtaLiaS]

Καλησπέρα, ποιό drum pedal είναι ?

[kulsprutepappa]

THAT FOOT!

[MKplayer7]

I came and shat at the same time at 3:30..

[bennyboi56]

fuck hes faster with one foot than i am with 2 :/

[MASSRCOR]

I have this DVD... it rules, really helped with my extreme metal drumming

[IDIDNTORDERANYSOUP]

i came...just a bit

[nitsuj1231]

38-45 is the sickest drumming ive ever heard...

[prosentron1]

Very entertaining!!

[sh00pd4w00p]

Holy shit is 4:42 nice

[ScrubsTheNewcomers]

I've got an really important question:

How do you call the cymbal in the right corner, you can see it for example at 1:21?! Please answer me!

[DeathAdmin]

@ScrubsTheNewcomers It's called a china cymbal.

[sierramister123]

@ScrubsTheNewcomers its a china, if its the same one you're asking about the one that is curved downward towards the middle. if you havent already figured it out, its been awhile since you said this

[DHREVOLUTION]

I bet he beats off at the speed of light

[CaptaiNightmare]

Please tell me this are not lessons ¬¬

[TheSlipknotMaggot66]

0:27 even i cant do that with both of my feet :(

[Padibaer0611]

OH MY GOD :O

[CorpsegrinderWasHere]

Loves how he only uses one foot on the bass pedal when hitting blast beats.

[25wande]

he got a band?

[dupes4life]

@25wande Nile

[drummersquirrel22]

George recently played at London drum festival doing his usual blasting and insane footwork, one man asked him 'how can you consider anything you just played to be musical at all?' to which he replied 'what i play is musical, its just fast and loud which is what I and hundreds of people here enjoy listening and playing to' (massive cheer). never question god!!!

[TheChrispablo]

lol this vid hasn´t got a best rated comment

[anticannobis]

intense is right.....

[MrEntelemilemi]

gileee

[TheSickening4111]

Krim Kerim (Decapitated) should VS Geroge Kollias, would be the Best battle EVER.

[chimera667]

@TheSickening4111 In terms of raw speed I think George Kollias is a superior drummer. I do think Krimh has more style though. It would be pretty cool, but there would be no way to judge who had won.

[shane013088]

he should make a car that runs on double bass, 1 bpm would equal .5mph, meaning if he played at 280bpm he could travel at 140mph. haha imagine seeing him fly past you, kicking the shit out of those pedals.

[pcrvg0808]

I guess his lessons started sometime in the womb .......

[BikkiBlazes]

I need a review of this vid. No wonder programmed drums are replacing analog kit players... goddamn attrition is all I see. Is it a good vid or not. If you feel like an earthworm or hate on him cuz he's fast... its all your issues... get a sports psychologist/ performance counselor , quit being a whiney say-nothing bitch.

[SchuldinerReptile]

The one thing i cood do from this video is ....set up the drums

[jabe75]

hated this..because he makes us regular drummers seemed like earthworms

[MrYeswecan14]

I wonder how fast he can mastrubate

[jkfsu]

@progrhythmical thanks bro!

[whiteboy654654]

this is impossible. i refuse to believe that its real. (mainly because i would give up completely if i believed it was)

[pcrvg0808]

definitely H.A.A.R.P.

[Morbidus1973]

do you know what ppl. George is from Greece... Γεια σου ρε Γιωργαρααα!!!

[mhfuXmonsta]

How do you get the recoil on the pedal to b faster

[pcrvg0808]

@mhfuXmonsta Be born again as George Kollias , is my suggestion .

[mcski022]

hey!! im practicing double bass drumming.watching this video makes me want to stop. gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh XD

[RockTheGABE]

but can he play a breakdown pattern with a single pedal?

[flyingninja92]

@RockTheGABE dude even i can play a breakdown with one pedal

[GibsonSGKing]

@Feskprins

Ah, ok, that makes sense then.

[LauenPower]

just love that pop at 1:20 ... 

[Cakez00]

His faster with 1 foot then im with 2. wtf is this alien

[timmotjo17]

4:25 and just what the fuck was that?! Bloody amazing Ò_ó

[Vredesbyrd133]

how is someone able to move there wrist that fast? Holy shit

[GorefeastDrummer]

people saying "It's easy, I can do that... PLEASE put up some vids to back up this statement.. oh you dont have any? that's what I thought.

[drumlord159]

And look, he's even wearing jeans. My fuck.

[XXXCRSPL]

Its a DVD and doesnt show everything the Guy can do..Hes fucking amazing and I like to see any of the Keyboard commandos on here duplicate this..

[psyckla5]

wow another drummer who just blast beats ALL THE TIME

[kolliasmalmsteenown]

@psyckla5 Didnt you read the title of the video?

[psyckla5]

@kolliasmalmsteenown intense doesn't mean constantly blast beat

[kolliasmalmsteenown]

@psyckla5 you're not worth arguing...

[GorefeastDrummer]

@psyckla5 lol... instructional video .. maybe try watching his other vids or listening to nile, get educated before writing about something you obviously have no clue about. ty

[Oli4drums]

@psyckla5 Skip to 3:08?

[Megara4everLiou]

That guy is Drum's VTec...!!!

[djmarkyno1]

fast, but not the best drumming ive ever heard. very repetitive and easy.

[mysteryrocker123]

@djmarkyno1 its just an instructional video...... check out his other videos

[1230JM]

love the kit, sounds great

[iMuTiLaTe]

yes he is the best drummer in the world as far as complexity and speed go but no I don't listen to him because he is in a band where you can't understand the words, what a shame. :(

[zachf914]

@iMuTiLaTe i love it when people say "it's shit. i cant understand the words." well if you weren't some ignorant bastard, and actually listened, you could actually hear them clear. i listen to nile, and fuck even dying fetus or disfiguring the goddess. those bands have guttural growls. some of the lowest ive heard. i know every word 110%

[iMuTiLaTe]

@zachf914 yeah right unless you're Egyptian. What a lie, you understand everything they say -_-

[zachf914]

@iMuTiLaTe they speak english you know. they are a 100% american band except for george. theyre lyrics are in english, but some stuff is egyptian.

[mysteryrocker123]

@iMuTiLaTe listen to them for the music then..... and Nile vocals are pretty easy to understand

[Rug3rizkoo]

cocaines a hell of a drug

[The10mileswide]

Insane drummer his double pedal speed was so amazing.........

[jkfsu]

this dudes fast as shit with his single pedal.........

[jkfsu]

what kind of pedals are those?

[progrhythmical]

@jkfsu Those are Axis A singles (black)

[rSevenfold666]

@bestunter George Kollias is a million times better than Jordison. This guy has got so much talent.

[joelakastud123]

at 4:30 WOAH i know this guy and i had to show him kollias cuz he was a slipcock fan then he says that mike mangini was better....i think he was full of shit even this play around instructional preview is more exciting than any of mangini's solos

[24trivium]

@joelakastud123 manginis hands are faster.....he just recently broke his own record i believe

[joelakastud123]

@24trivium when i watch him play i find that hard to believe his solos are usually extremely drawn out and boring as hell

[24trivium]

@joelakastud123 well its all a matter of opinion i guess...

[THRASHFKINFILLETS]

Nile are my fav death metal band.FAST!!FAST!!FAST!!

[TruthTheSpeaker]

i dont understand how the swivel technique works

[138kenc]

Kollias invented that foot-swiveling technique.  This guy is fuckin legendary.

[7drift0king2]

@138kenc Did he really?? Wow, I would give away my left nut to play like this.

[R0bbH1mself]

@138kenc Dont think he invented it mate.

Many drummers, including myself, instinctively swivel our feet when playing double bass.

[bestunter]

joey jordison better xD

[thewhitezombie666]

haha, in the related videos theres "intense butt and legs workout". the lady in it has huge tits by the way

[Corpseroller]

I would love to masturbate at that speed. Fuck Yeah!

[SofiaMiroslavskaya]

130 people fail :-)

[musicmaniac828]

he could do the legend of the rent is way hardcore with his big toe!!!!

[Hardware952]

Holy fuckin' what just happened? WOW lol top a tha world maw you the man George!!!!

[MAGGOTSOlDIER626]

this guys calves must be outta this world

[10dthompson60]

This guy could do Redneck by Lamb of God with one foot

[ArchxEnemy666]

does anyone have a good tutorial or way to do single strokes fast like that?

[soad4ever16]

Disliked the video. But only cuz he's faster with single foot than i am with double.

[TheDrumLines]

@soad4ever16 That is what we call "Musical Jealousy"

[JordDBdrummer]

@soad4ever16 haha ya no kidding eh

[Ruffaze]

His sound, technic are really outstanding, plus he is the fastest at that technical level and also he`s hitting hard and seems to be a humble guy, Romain Goulon is a monster of speed and a cool guy too.

Well, we`re quite lucky to have those buddies around!

[RisingEternity]

-nerd-

:D

[Ollie12398]

The only place I'm quicker than him in is the bedroom :(

[MrNintendo505]

AHHH MALAKA

[grandanoke007]

only chuck norris can keep up with him,... xD

[Spacemonkeymurder]

if he fucked a girl he could use his feet!

[BIM123123123]

damn this video is passed a million views? fuuuuck, i remember when this vid had 10 views haha

[superjules]

And remember kids, Blast Beats are just drones slowed waaaay down. Nothing more brutal out there than Buddhists lighting themselves on fire.

[reaver901]

ill beat him in a drum battle someday

[nex88]

@reaver901 Then you will be dead and Kollias would be around 213 years old.

[CryHavocband]

this guy is crazy fast. its easy to see that, i just wish he would do more with that speed that freaking straight 16ths and 32nds. near the middle/end he did a few grooves that were pretty killer but the rest was kind of repetetive. then again its an instructional dvd so fuck me freddy

[popytherev]

@CryHavocband /watch?v=RFKNQnsu1rU

[CryHavocband]

@popytherev nice that's cool. Sick drums, sickening vocals however in my opinion. just not my jam

[anchial22]

@CryHavocband Listen to some of his music, nile - black seeds of vengeance

[JordDBdrummer]

@CryHavocband ya man its basicly all excersises that are shown in this vid.... im 120% positive he could groove etc way more if he wanted too.

[BoDogg93]

@CryHavocband he actually plays a lot of really cool rhythmic jazzy stuff sometimes. he is in my opinion the best drummer out there

[TheMorgaroth666]

yeah! \,,/ WTF is great

[sensaiyoshi]

@65thekid calves maybe?? lol im joking NO FUCKING CLUE

[weakendsoul]

@65thekid ever heard of double bass bro?

[0512mikey]

I just saw him at a drum clinic tonight! he is one crazy mother fucker

[ArticLight0]

This dude is faster with one pedal than me with two. XD

[JoltThePyro]

@65thekid How the fuck is it not?

[0ShadowDaemon]

u r me hero now man!

[mudstompaz]

n.y.c. 2:133:08

[MrDandoc89]

@65thekid 2:22 Pretty sure that's a leg workout hahah.

[Nautamies]

@65thekid Hmm.. Which one did you search for, kollias drumming or butt and legs workout? Hah :P

[LorenzoTedone]

/watch?v=S-4MP1aEssU

[Hammy0924]

1:07 is insane

[gianluigixxxx]

wow you have the same groove as my dishwasher

[efamusic]

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

[TheMetallicaGods]

@65thekid You'd be surprised...

[ThEpUrEfUcKiNmEtAl]

3.03 i love that,

[kawridr6]

@65thekid because george probably burns 3,000 calories everytime he plays lol

[EYOUTz1993]

@Th3OR1G1N4L yeah I've seen him and he's ridiculous. But I LOVE metal so a dude that does sick double kick drums is better in my opinion

[Th3OR1G1N4L]

why is everybody saying that kollias is the best drummer out there... You guys have heard of Buddy Rich right?? nobody comes close to him. His is still and probably always will be the best. End of Story.

[nigelic]

@Th3OR1G1N4L wat? cmon man that old guy? hes nothing compared to george

[Fuck1nMetal]

@Th3OR1G1N4L Looking at your channel i was nearly betting dave lombardo is better than george but u amazed me...U SAID BUDDY RICH?

MAN COME THE FUCK ON..

IT's not because u make a live solo UR AMAZING GREATEST BRUTAL DRUMMING EVA like jordison or other stuff.

George fuckin raped his ass studying and playing...

Do you fuckin know what it takes to reach this level??????

YEARS..YEARS....YEARS....YEARS­--- and

YEARS

[cheapshotdrummer]

@Th3OR1G1N4L Save me this discussion. Jojo Mayer, George Kollias, Dirk Verbeuren, Kevin Talley, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, all amazing at what they do. End of Story.

[tubboone]

Yes he is fucking fast, amzingly fast actually. I also love the guitar rythms that go with this type of death metal but fuck me I HATE THAT FUCKING GROWLING SHIT CANT UNDERSTAND A FUCKING WORD THEIR SAYING SINGING. Give me Eric Adams or Bruce Dickinson on vocals any day. But really good drumming if you are into speed.

Check out the latest video on my channel of my 4 year old son playing a double kick solo. He will be playing as fast as this by the time he is 12 at this rate!!

[NocturnalKiller]

Guitar players finger better ---> Drummers bang harder! :D

[Servedpancakes]

@kunimaro15689. Blue waffle

[MrPdreynolds1]

I would fucking love to jam with this guy!

[Adoonthedrums]

Dude.. too much tecnique, but not a single oz of creativity..... Drummers are noy paying too much attemption to the tecnique but they are not being creative. Good drummers are thoose ones who care about "making the instrument sound" that in playing a thousand notes per second.

(excuseme about my english, im a spanish speaking student)

[1headscratcher]

@Adoonthedrums fucking spick

[zildjian98765]

@Adoonthedrums Death metal is all about technique and speed. That's the point. We could play with "feel" and "creativity" (which we do anyway just at tempos twice that which you play) Death metal drumming is the professional body building of the musical world. All technique and endurance for show at the risk of having a lack of practicality in popular music, which we shun anyway. We play what we like and we're good at it. If you can't prove you're better dont criticize what you dont understand.

[Adoonthedrums]

@zildjian98765

I dont have to be better than another drummer to say i dont like the way he play. Also why you sistematically say that I dont understand this musicstyle. Also, mine was a constructive commentary, you are just being authoritary for nothing. If you were smart you would just dont give a shit aboput what I say but, evidently, you have to give crap to others to reaffirm yourself.

[kunimaro15689]

imagine if he heel toed his wifes cunt. O.o

[Vredesbyrd133]

i wonder how fast he can beat off

[braxtonsw33tbeats]

if you guys want to see his versatility as a drummer, make a purchase on the DVD, and check the entire DVD out. there's so much more to George than just blastbeats, double bass, and speed in general. he's a very seasoned drummer, and he's very impressive.

[therealvoltage]

He can go and double my double bass speed, easily.

using only one foot.

[SabbathTheBlack]

Anybody know what kind of pedals he uses???

[braxtonsw33tbeats]

@SabbathTheBlack he uses Axis A Longboard bass pedals, with maximum spring tension, VDL around the middle, Axis toe risers, and Iron Cobra felt beaters.

[TheZombieXecutioner]

one of the best drummers but doesnt play for the best band

[Hellspawn880]

@nigelic Agreed, dont get me wrong i like listening to lars. But he's not what he's cracked up to be and even in studio recordings he seems somewhat uncoordinated  sometimes. Just my oppinion,like i said i like his style its powerful and not just trying to be fast (metal drummers today have insane speed but it sounds like gnats hitting a windshield more than drums being played by a proffessional) but at the same time his beats are fairly simple and even then he seems to screw them up sometimes.

[theSnaredrumde]

Killer Drumming!

[ikjeweetwel]

If he does a single-footed blastbeat at around 280 bpm, shouldn't he be able to do a 560bpm double bass kick?

[BerraDude]

@ikjeweetwel no, he is playing 8:th notes with one foot, not 16:th notes

[thisisformusiconly]

@ikjeweetwel Well of course. but only problem is that his hands cant go that fast, unless he uses gravity technique.

[MrAngelofd3eath]

if he play at that speed he should ge 300 bpm now try to play ur max speed and whit ur penis u shoeld get roud 380 bpm

[drumm605]

I wanna see him go his hardest and best haha that would be amazing

[SaoLinKA7X]

this is cool and all, but can he play music?

[nigelic]

ppl are getting ridiculous everyone needs to know how easy lars ulrichs drumming is compared to this for ex i cud play all of lars' drumming within 2 months of drumming lol and i will maybe never be able to play any of georges drumming lars is shit george is amazing get it thru ur dumbass heads

[xthexrookx]

fast and boring as all hell

[sempthegreat]

Man, it sucks.. The only thing that I struggle with when blasting is my left hand doing the snare drum, just can't get the speed.

[DDrumification]

@sempthegreat just takes practice, start doing ghost notes a lot, thats what i did, it helped me build up strength and speed on my right. (since im lefty)

[rsman169]

I dare you to place your nut sack in front of his bass pedals.

[soadmax]

Technics: good...

Groove...?

[88fanforlife]

i think instead of killing bin laden i think they should've put his head where georges right bass drum is and have him practice blast beats, or have bin ladens head where his snare is

[metalmonkey97]

I wonder If he is the greek god of metal drumming

[metalmonkey97]

@metalmonkey97 holy crap i never thot i would have top comment, i feel acheived

[sheldonknowsall]

@metalmonkey97 Stop wondering and start believing!

[asxetos666]

@metalmonkey97 Oh yeah. I am greek and yet he is the best drummer in the world, not just greece :P.

[MrDOLTSO]

@metalmonkey97

he is :D

[Vanjal]

This is not METAL drumming. More like a NOISE drumming. Why people think that speed blasting shit drum parts are how one should play metal on drums. Listen to Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden. That's METAL.
