George Kollias - Aeons of Burning Galaxies

[microphonegarage]

This drummer is at the RIGHT gig.

[jambo6000]

fake. because the bass drum pedals didn´t start to burn. this shit is inhuman...

[evetbeyler]

the beggining of the song is like "creeping death" i mean, "DİE BY MY HAND! DİE! DİE! DİE! DİE!" sorry for my bad english by the way.

[Hertsman50]

This guy is a god.

[allmetaliswelcome]

why can't i hear the floor toms?

[GabrielSPBGFTREIHF]

Drummers like George Kollias should be more valued, they can do the impossible.

[IkORn90]

somebody can show me the partitures please.. i try to do this =O

[Pfmkmk]

haha the dislike bar looks like my dick!!! wait...

[jololoco2000]

77 people prefer Joey Jordison

[novembre8211]

77 people couldn't handle the greatness of Mr. Kollias

[TheClown53194]

Its the shoes....Its gotta be the shoes! :o

[hisokabr]

77 dislikes? Nice try Justin, nice try...

[esGlider]

@hisokabr LMAO, totally agree.

[hisokabr]

Maldiro George, mal consigo ver seus movimentos !

[MrAlexAugur]

awesome. perfect. great......you do it so simple.....YOU GOD OF DRUMS!!!!

[VDragon54]

Dear George,

Nice work, but you still have much to learn, and your drum set is too small. Talk to me in a few years.

-Chuck Norris

[TheDwuetyloamid]

ja pierdole :D

[TheYehaa12]

The Chuck Norris of Drumming....

[klementine79]

Yasou Gewrgos!!! Eisai 8urio!!!.. k o megaluteros ap'thn elladitsa mas.... Piou Sakis? ;-)

[888JimJam888]

The scary thing is this video is four years old. And he is probably alot better now... Jesus fucking christ.

[Bullski123]

awesome foot pedal work....sounds like a high rate machine gun....

[iWentToNam]

that is honestly the most boring style of drumming, all speed... jazz and technical drumming is the hardest, besides i wouldnt bet on heorge being the fastest, chad kent from atomship is a fucking beast. and hes technical. 5 drummers that will own this guy any day are danny carey, chad kent, thomas lang, matt halpern and jay postones. i dont care if they are different genres of metal, technicality and jazz will always be the hardest style and the most interesting styles. 

[h1r43th4l1v3]

@iWentToNam This guy compares technique and fastness, im not denying that jazz drummers are great drummers, but I prefer this kind of drumming. and some jazz drummers play so complicated its not enoyable any more

[PeponeNRC]

@iWentToNam george kollias is a jazz drummer to dumb, he practiced more jazz than you have ever done.

[JonnyWedel]

@iWentToNam ok Technical drumming i agree, marco minnimen for example. but jazz i simply don't. I have seen many many drumming videos in my life, 90% of which were jazz. Extreme metal drumming is obviously simple and very fast and i have never seen anyone play it this well besides George, and i have seen quit a lot. But jazz, as a drumming myself i personally think any genre is as difficult as you choose to play it, but i have not seen jazz be very difficult.

[beetmatchfail]

@iWentToNam you put all that effort into writing this when you could look at the suggestions at the side and see the same drummer playing side by side with neil peart. Seems you don't know anything about anything.

[Mirovozzrenie100]

@iWentToNam I know you already had 3 people put their dick in your ass about your comment, but you need to research before you open that mouth you know? George is not JUST a metal drummer, he's very technical lmao, EVEN WHEN recording with Nile (listen to Ithyphallic album.) Also, you're missing Gene Hoglan from that list, haven't you heard his work with Death? He puts most technical drummers to shame and he's a fucking metal drummer. I've said my part, later.

[kungfuman82]

@Mirovozzrenie100 Jazz people are jealous because they can't do anything this awesome. They came up with their own standards and now proceed to judge everyone else through them.

[ChuckSchuldinerRIP0]

@iWentToNam If you don't know how to express your dislike with any topic. You probably shouldn't express it in a biased why. You have almost no clue what you're talking about.

[3dDuke]

@iWentToNam lol? really? are you kidding me?

[Pasgodis94]

Leg Muscles?



[wrsamson]

George Kollias + noise cancelling headphones = greatness

[yougotgroove]

My ears aren't fast enough!

[kirik1917]

1:17-1:19 wow!MOMi

[JoJoghetto]

This video never gets boring to me. I could watch this 24/7 as with every thing else he

plays and find it just as exciting as the first time I heard it.

[indiocolifa]

I'm very impressed but it's sad that metal music is falling in this speed and technique competition and fetishism. I prefer the natural drum sounding of traditional metal: Menza, Lombardo, even Ulrich.

[domjdragon2]

this video makes my dick rock hard

[Mikedrums95]

He may be able to do this. But I can play Back In Black.

[chrisblekos]

he is obviously one of the top5 drummers ever played the instrument and noone nominated him as drummer of the year etc...the do give prizes to shit drummers like travis barker and the drum of fag bands like black veil brides pfff

[ChuckSchuldinerRIP0]

@chrisblekos The drummer to Black Veil Brides won a award? Dear god that sounds atrocious.

[metallica6020]

I name my son after him and hope he starts to play drums :D

[Izlsnizzt]

Is it just me or was he NOT using triggers?!?!

[grimiguana]

@Izlsnizzt triggers are not accepted in death metal. core is a different story..

[danieljordison0793]

@grimiguana howcome they are not accepted, triggers help to get a better sound and a clearer hit

[grimiguana]

@danieljordison0793 if you dont already know the answer to that then you dont deserve to

[danieljordison0793]

@grimiguana wtf?

[danieljordison0793]

@Izlsnizzt he is but they are Ekits triggers that are conected to the pedal not the bassdrum

[prolaxer20]

i wonder if he planes this ahead or if he just does this on the spot

[TheMorbidAsshole]

CHUCK NORRIS CAN DRUM LIKE GEORGE KOLLIAS USING 1 FOOT AND A HAND AND HIS DICK

[Astralsreams]

@TheMorbidAsshole dude wrong video i think your looking for Travis Barkers. anyway

I used to be the best drummer in the history of metal..

but i took a sword to the chest.

[pilule1995]

I have hair like him, I must have is power too?

[Wintersun729]

i think he uses magic shoes!

[wudgeypudger]

what is the other black axis pedal for?

[RyfoMicol]

I used to enjoy youtube... but then i noticed that the majority of the top comments are from some idiot who said they took an arrow to the knee.

[SERCHSOS3722]

Imagine his pedal beaters hitting your balls! D:

[mentalmetal321]

hes just playing naturally. with talent and years of practice. its not the ''swivel technique''.

[AudiophileTubes]

GEORGE IS NOT HUMAN! AMAZING!

[edgeontap]

this guy is 40 years ahead of the rest of the band.

[hatchls1]

This is beast. George Kollias and Jon Rice. Best metal drummers period.

[rokranmol]

what are u..?

[TheCanaryodoom]

That's a helluva foot technique with the swiveling. What is that?

[MASSRCOR]

@TheCanaryodoom swivel technique lol

[lolwut941]

@MASSRCOR it's called the swivel technique, google it.

[horriblequin]

Lyrics are to mainstream XD

[skoolier]

LOL he is like "Fuck heel toe method! Im gonna mash my toes!!! RAWWWWWWWWWWWWR

[ACompetitiveHalo]

how does he blast like that with ONE FREAKIN FOOT!!!???

[AWillsMusic]

@ACompetitiveHalo It's called one foot blast. Him and other drummer such as Shannon Lucas from The Black Dahlia Murder use this technique. I've gotta say though, George has got Shannon on all around speed and technique. But Shannon is also a great drummer.

[deadissomewhere]

@ACompetitiveHalo Practice makes perfection.

[xIIEPiiCFAiiLx]

does anyone know the two chinas on his left!?

[dexa134679]

'-'

[95Rippo]

ahahaha i still can hear people who say Joey Jordison is the best metal drummer

[AWillsMusic]

@95Rippo yeah I hear those turds all the time. Fuck em. They know nothing. I'm sure they've got Joey right up there next to their number one pick of best metal drummers... Lars Ulric.... LMFAO!

[DahPurpleHippo]

The tom beat is so fucking sick!

[soildusawesomness]

Chuck Norris fears his right foot.

[MusicisPassion1678]

i found somebody faster and better than george! the end is near! /watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&­v=6ioQf-WBb5g

[popytherev]

1034471... thats the total of hits in the bass drum.. just in this video

[69MetalDrummer]

Lol who the fuck is going to "play along" to this crazy shit? Hahahaha I love George.

[thehorsehunter]

no need to worry, people. arrows are just too afraid of his knees

[ashtool]

if only this could be classified as music.

[pandemicasylum88]

@ashtool it is its called George Kollias is the shit lol

[ashtool]

@pandemicasylum88 demonstrating that you can move your feet the fastest might impress you, but it is certainly not music. there is no creativity in his work. all the 'points' are awarded for apparent speed only. this might be your thing, but to most, it is just awful.

[trollishmetalhead]

@ashtool fail troll, FAIL.

[ashtool]

@trollishmetalhead nah.... this is just not music. exercise on an instrument, perhaps. but music that will last the ages, no.

[trollishmetalhead]

@ashtool can you do me a favour? GET OUT OF HERE. AND KILL YOURSELF

[ashtool]

@trollishmetalhead lol.... seems I struck a note... probably because deep down, you agree with me. Try to put on a brave face, and see you when you grow out of this silly phase of your life.

[trollishmetalhead]

@ashtool no i dont agree with you. i just want to say that we just have different taste in music, thats why you say that this is not music. and i say that the pop shit you listen to is not music :) ok so now you can go kill your mom and rape your dog because i wont reply and wont read any of your stupid comments ;).

[ashtool]

@trollishmetalhead hehe i listen to metal too... just not some asshole running top speed on a drum kit. how does it look up there? with your head so far up your ass? ;)

[ImmortalSpammer]

@ashtool i disagree. death metal takes a shit load of practice and drumming like george kollias takes years of training. ive been p;aying drums 10 years . i would know that. and what kind of metal do you listen do you listen to? emo shit bands like avenged sevenfold dont count as metal btw

[xJMAN07x]

I don't know who has more stamina... george kollias or peter north.

[vaderized]

i bet his shoes are the special ones that aren't burning while he's playing... lol

[pastilance1]

1 million views! He did 1 million hits in first 30 seconds!

[Mikcevski]

Super natural skills

[Tylrmclstr]

@jonapixel123 HAHAHAHA Skyrim... That's the most annoying line in that game huh? Hahaha dude- so fuckin funny...

[killerproctologist88]

DUDE!!!! THE FILL AT 4:49 IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[killerproctologist88]

@killerproctologist88 I MEAN 4:52

[jonapixel123]

i used to play this fast... then i took an arrow to the knee

[piinaz]

play along version...of course... :S

[Rodrigobuzetti]

Why you are using a double bass? With only one you like is playing with four!

[Okaydaddy]

@wotification It's "IN" the knee xD

[XGasMaskAssasinX]

[WIGGLES93ACR]

[HenryGraham513]

@wotification stfu!



[Cboisen10]

[AndrewLovesADTR]

@wotification If you're gonna say the joke, actually know it first. Fucking band wagoners, I swear.

[Thox13]

@wotification

HAHAHA

[thebestofprankcalls]

@wotification dude that shit isn't funny 

[Rodrigosuprem]

[moneygonecrazy101]

[prosentron1]

[minaabdou]

FUCK YOU SPEED OF SOUND!!!

[iAmCheateR115]

i really love it! respect! coolest drummer ever.. you rockz!

[UnscCorps1]

I wonder if he flails around like he's playing this song when he sleeps.

[Sildenanofil]

that just crazy! But really, how he do that? Cant understand the system he is playing. For what is the second (third) pedal? Thats just mindblowing :D

[ScrubsTheNewcomers]

@Sildenanofil One for the Hi-Hat and the other two for the bass drum. It's called a doublebass pedal^^

[thesyllekattacks]

@ScrubsTheNewcomers I dont think thats right the axis pedal has a beater on it but I dont think theres a third kick, i wonder if he has a kick snare, cuz I dont hear woodblack or cowbell

[thesyllekattacks]

@thesyllekattacks sorry for double post but I think i found it, He uses 13" and 14" hats and has 1/2 closed 12" mini hats so that 4th pedal is probably a remote pedal for (my guess) the 13" hats, but could possibly be to the 12s as well.

[041190Jarkal]

okay so thats how we can solve the planets energy problems

[Tomaxzo]

@041190Jarkal cloning this guy a few times could give us energy for 20 years.

[Kathabasis]

one of the best extreme metal drummers worldwide and so fucking technical.................hail­z from germany

[capiauken]

i feel exhausted by just watching this

[capiauken]

and this is a play along version? jesus i have no talent in doing this i should quit playing drums...

[bcherbs]

oh them poor fuckin drums!

[brandonguitar24]

WTF?!?!? i bet he drums for hells band

[CGDrummer96]

@brandonguitar24 NILE

[peapower]

[myjyrus]

[XXXCRSPL]

Dudes a fuckin Beast

[Melodis97]

I have yo change my pants but putting on skinny jeans when you still have a boner is pretty hard



[InTheFlameOfTheMaker]

[tylurmulan]

[colclumper]

I love Kollias and Roddy the same,both are insane,but I have no idea why people compare the the drummer of Slipknot with these two.I bet either can play his hardest set at double speed and slipknots drummer who struggle to play eithers set at half speed.

[lanaar2]

some drumcam footage: Quo Vadis - Absolution (Yanic Bercier drum footage)

[drummermizike]

1:33 holy shit

[Lycanpaester]

Hes a friggin beast...but that swivel pattern he does with his feet is actually really really bad for his knees.

[Bearthoughts]

@Lycanpaester, George has addressed this a lot of times. When he started using the swivel motion he hurt his knees so he went to see several different doctors that told him that the motion is bad for the knees and I believe he said two doctors suggested to minimize the motion. So he uses the swivel motion but he doesn't overdo (or tries not to) so he doesn't hurt his knees. There's more but I think that sums it up pretty neatly.

[MetalVz1]

I'm not a drummer, I will sell my drum set and play Monopoly for de rest of my sad life.
