George Kollias and NILE

[benblackburn2693]

god damn he's a machine, his legs barely move at all.

[7782Bouras]

And yes he is half greek ..!! I am really proud of him ..

[DanielMcBrain]

It looks so simply ...

[KHfan4ever23]

George once fingered a finger. She was about to die but he took an arrow to the knee.

[85Aheadstix]

@KHfan4ever23 Ok thats enough!

[thatdrummerguy76]

i think if he could somehow apply his foot technique to running, we would have a real life equivalent to the flash =D

[maplehappy]

@thatdrummerguy76 that, or to riding a bike. lance armstrong has nothing on him.

[WhoIsYourDaddy1994]

@slmc777

train every day as much as you can...you will need it ;)

[slmc777]

@WhoIsYourDaddy1994 I'm on it dude! :D Btw, I was practicing swivel and ankle motion technique and when they BOTH came out in THE SAME DAY I almost get a heartache because of excitement haha! Just that I couldn't keep any of them longer than about 40 seconds, maybe a minute... But yeah dude, I'll keep training :)

[slmc777]

In a couple of years, I hope I can get to be this good... This man is one of the best today's drummers. 

[YouNoob93]

In fact this whole song is hard because it is so slow

[YouNoob93]

5:16 I can do that as well... It's actually pretty hard to keep time because it is so slow

[MrKillerdrums]

what song is this?

[BurnThePope0514]

Fuckin a blasting perfection

[DevilKingGR]

WHY THE HELL IT LOOKS SO EASY???? damn it when i see this video at the time that kollias does the fast bass drums i get a feeling that i can do it too!!!! BUT I CAN'T DAMN IT!!!!

[TommyOwnzU]

@DevilKingGR so do I, it's terrible isn't it? >.<

[pcrvg0808]

Nog een keer , nog een keer !!!

[BlackGuitar265]

[guitar112796]

I dont think i could go half as fast as him :(

[TheMoondrum]

my dream is to be in one room with kollias drumming until my brain blow to death \m/

[TheScumdog69]

@BestMJJ10 Quite Amazing, my friend.

[TheMoondrum]

3h35 .. wtf ?? xDD

[sebbimon]

0:35 Marco Pizzurella in your face

[Drummerr1771]

The blast beat at 1:18 is the best

[MrStarsNstrips]

This guy is Awesome, If you want to play speed metal watch this guy, not Joey Jordison, and hes good too but this is the real deal..people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[websterx9]

0:58 EYA~A~A~A~A~A~A~A~A HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH XD!

[cheleo037]

i cant believe it!

his back is splitin into two!

[666Shithead]

Sickest and best drummer in the hole fucking world.....oh shit the sound of the splashes in the beginning are so awesome and the part on 5:16 *___*

[666Shithead]

Sickest and best drummer in the hole fucking world.....oh shit the sound of the splashes in the beginning are so awesome

[simonmetaleroo]

Es simplemente impresionante

[aaron2414]

AXIS FTW!!!!

[JonasOfSweden]

He's a complete beast, but I'd like to see some innovation...

[popytherev]

@JonasOfSweden /watch?v=u02hbXxYTrs it's the most dynamic solo from george =) hope you like it

[DRACULA466]

it looks so hard for him to play....not

[REISHNAVIC]

wat technique is he using for the bass? he like slides his foot around, or is that just how fast he is hitting it

[ryder187mac]

How many people noticed the hands cross at 3:13? goddamn, this is fucking sick.

[AaronicSmithonic]

Just when I think I'm getting decent at blasting, I make the mistake of watching this fucking guy. He's an alien, and we are not to speak of him.

[Underkaefer]

@AaronicSmithonic

I've got the same problem ;)

[dougchamploo]

THE BEST!! \m/

[Necronaut]

5:16 is why hes the fastest

[MrFiendster]

I remember when my parents friends came around and brought up the question of what music did I like, therefore I responded Death metal and mentioned Nile, so they asked to hear it and my parents faces changed colour lol so i played it and explained how the vocalist was a proffesor of Egyptology and they sing about Egyptian mythology and after putting on Annihilation of the wicked I was suprised to hear that they thought it was ok... lol.

[dagster115]

@MrFiendster i hate when that question happens

[TommyOwnzU]

@MrFiendster Mine keep ringing me when I'm working on double bass or blasts asking me to play something "musical" -.-

[RiseWithTheFalen4]

@11radben fantastic! :]

[RiseWithTheFalen4]

@11radben 140 bpm 16th's. 280 bpm 8th notes

[dickiedik5]

3 justin bieber and gaga fuckers

[sum761]

He can play faster with one foot than I can two hands. FML. :'(

[Gospel969]

i've never seen Kollias using the gravity blast until now

[iowapt1]

5:20 i almost shit on my self thats like really fucking fast :D 

[MrStarsNstrips]

awsomo

[TheMoondrum]

Axis pedals are great.. look at 1'46.. GK is playing on hi-hat and the pedal steels beating.. too much balance *.*

[Tylerthemetalking]

@TheMoondrum Their good but tricks are better my tricks bounce for 1:34 after a good hit.

[TheMoondrum]

Axis pedals are great.. look at 1'46.. GK is playing on hi-hat and the pedal steels beating..

[10sasso10]

348 people study blastology

[rsman169]

I only have one rant about Kollias. He needs to do some more unique fills, other than that he's top knotch. Nobody else can touch this man.

[Allen666666666666666]

i just have to say..george kollias is drumming

[MIND4eva]

Using tirggers does hardly mean to "cheat", because it just makes the volume of the beats regular, but to hit on time is what a trigger cannot do.

[Soilwar]

Kollias is the only one of the 300 still living!

He crushes his enemies with blastbeats!

[music666able]

hands down

[xonedayout]

awesome!!!

[Jgresko]

George is a drumming god, I hope your still enjoying my dads extreme isolation headphones George, you get even MORE spectacular every year...its amazing...

I cannot wait to see you in another 5 or 10 years, i cant even imagine man..

Also thanks for the free DVD again man, take care! -Johnnie Gresko

[PearLDrummeR1871]

@Jgresko yea this is not georges channel so he cant see your message

[MrStarsNstrips]

the shit

[MrStarsNstrips]

2:02  holy shities

[dHANNESd]

because of him the germans loosed the war

[dHANNESd]

my hands are not as fast as his feets o.O

greetings from germany.

[renshammar]

As Kollias himself once said -"Triggers are used so that you can go fast without loosing sound, but if you make a mistake, that is heard very clearly."

So really, it's requires the drummers using triggers to play the songs perfectly.

[avisupchurch]

Very nice camera shot and crystal clear drum sounds.... and ofc not to mention unbelievable playing... Favorited!

[ifluxion]

2 guys were so fucking drooling that they accidentally pressed the thumbs down button.

[xxgil2]

Zombie Jesus Christ!

[NaxoAteo]

at 0:46 when he lays down to pick up a bottle and take a sip of water i kind of saw some of his head without hear D: is it me or he is getting bold ? awesome drumming though ! xD

[MrStarsNstrips]

[Practice9Perfection]

0:56 "MEEEOOW!"

[dontjuhu]

[MrSatanochio]

I don`t give a shit if he uses triggers, he kills every other drummer on the planet, so fuck you all. Go George ! We fucking love you !

[SinlessRaNsOm]

2 people were kicked in the head by George Kollias.

[666crazymetalhead666]

[kaakoo]

[Sharktasm]

holy fuck this is amazing

[Sojk65a]

3:12

haha that is so awesome how he crosses his arms.

[drummakid101]

In my World History book it says that in Greece 1666 B.C, the Gods, Ares and Hades clashed at the top of Mount Olympus and when they clashed their swords hit so hard that a Mortal God above all others was created, George Kollias.

[oldvic88]

two gay

[mudfan1010]

Georges body language says "another day's work" xD

[Chewbacca121314]

@182cjr So he's stupid and we don't care about what he's saying.

[YouNoob93]

[SeedOfCannibalism]

[13375nip3r]

who is the 1 stupid dumb piece of shit that didnt like this video??

[Astralsreams]

3:30

joey's fastest speed LOL

[MrSatanochio]

@Astralsreams Kollias video and you`re way off. Now why is that ? Leave that dude alone, he`s just doing his job.

[Astralsreams]

@MrSatanochio stop being a puss.stop getting butt hurt when someone talks shit about someone.I KNOW IM ON A GEORGE KOLLIAS VIDEO!

[MrSatanochio]

@Astralsreams You do ? Holy shit.

[Astralsreams]

@MrSatanochio yeah,so bring the beers and let's party

[ADeadlierSnake]

this is insane!!!! I love it. =P

[teamSKDM]

Kollias is the best drummer. He's mastered every aspect of drumming. from developing the speed, to the endurance, to the arm work, to everything!

I truely worship the ground he walks on. Hes also mastered all styles of drumming. I dont think.. That there is a single soul who matches up to george kollias.

[h3rsh3y94]

Real men play in Merrells

[roady05]

it infuriates me when people troll on the use of triggers when you can SEE how hard those beaters are hitting the bass drum. the guy has practiced enough to hit both fast and hard you can fucking SEE that, he is merely using them to get a choppier more definite sound so the crowd can hear what he's playing. Jesus..fucking idiots..

[drummerdude0515]

@roady05 and another thing that most people dont realize is , yeah trigger make the sound louder , but if u fuck up with triggers you can hear the mistake even more clearly.

[MrClaybass]

@roady05 Word, man

[Tylerthemetalking]

@roady05 Hell yeah ma people are gay lol and george uses axis trigers so they won't activate unless the beater hits the head.

[LongLiveBlastology]

@roady05

Very true! George has some of the tightest springs I've ever seen on pedals. Even when he's putting out cigarettes -inside joke--(Swiveling) he's hitting hard!! And yes, if it wasn't for triggers...many drummers would sound like one looooong rumble :)

[Fuck1nMetal]

@LongLiveBlastology Also axis spring are so FUCKIN HARD......

I also use axis and with tight spring....for play at those speed....is required a lot of enduranceeee...

As always...kollias is flawless....godlike.

[estebanskater123]

@LongLiveBlastology he might used them tight but still you can´t play more than 230bpm 16th notes and make it sound loud, just because of the distance from the head to the pedal... tight springs are not the main reason you play louder

[NasteeNaughty]

@estebanskater123 Spring tension is adjusted for sensitivity more than volume.

[estebanskater123]

@NasteeNaughty right

[p4intb411]

George... may i please have your legs and feet?

[sick898]

This video has a troll-secure like/dislike feature! the dislike is disabled \m/ FINALLY youtube has understood the meaning of life!

[77mikeyv]

I love this guy. George your the man bro. I have never seen a more relaxed drummer play death metal music like this guy. He seems just chill man.

[jshields01]

holy fuck, hahah

[YouNoob93]

I wonder how many hits the right bassdrum took during that one song...

[thsterrain]

@YouNoob93 2,350,221 times. Give or take...

[YouNoob93]

I'm glad no one has missed the like button yet :)

[dHANNESd]

does he need a licence for THIS playing?

[guitarkid024]

if this is really obvious,im a vocalist not a drummer, is he using triggers on his snare?

[Jleedrummermetal]

@guitarkid024 nope. kollias uses all mics for his snare,s and toms. then his kicks are triggered. with e-kits.

[1994SHOtime]

@guitarkid024 if his kicks werent triggered, it would sounds like 1 constant drawn out note of a bass drum. He doesn't use them for his speed :D!! im not saying you said he did, just stating why he uses them.

[MacHinguchef]

damm at what bpm is this?? xDD, this is serious shit man

[DreamTheater4life]

@MacHinguchef probably somewhere between 240-260. that's where most nile songs (with the exception of a few "slow" ones) fell during the time this album (annihilation of the wicked) was released.

[sick898]

@MacHinguchef at which part man ? i'm counting over 20 tempo changes o_O

[TrashMetal25]

god i love this fucking song

[asiansxxcantxxdrive]

kollias is the muhammed suicmez of the drumming world......

[Astralsreams]

@asiansxxcantxxdrive i say rusty cooley lol

[pnutskater96]

thee most legit drummer out there

[DooMTeRRoR777]

When george does swivel technique his feet just look like there moving side to side and the pedals are doing all the work I wish my pedals did that

[Decapithagore]

@DooMTeRRoR777 they look like flying feet hehe

[thsterrain]

@DooMTeRRoR777 He actually uses a combination of heel-up and swivel techniques. if you watch his toes, he's moving up and down ever so slightly, and swivels each foot on every 2nd hit, sort of like doing double stroke rolls with each foot. In an interview he said that his feet naturally want to swivel when he plays so rather than resist it he incorporated into his technique. One of the luckiest accidents in the history of percussion!

[estebanskater123]

Fuuuuuckkk!!!!!!!

Too fast and perfect!!!

[xAnastasia1990x]

@DreamTheater4life I realize that but at som points his wrist dropped a bit,producing short gravity blasts within a traditional blast beat unintentionally 

[xAnastasia1990x]

His speed and precision is ridiculous. His blasts about 1min and a half into the video,some of them are unintended gravity blasts if you listen closely

[Militantcheese]

@xAnastasia1990x yeah that what got me when i same him live with hate eternal. Jade Simonetto is a amazing drummer, but when George played you could just hear how accurate George's timing was, just sounded so different so perfect.

[DreamTheater4life]

@xAnastasia1990x how are they gravity blasts? he's playing a traditional blast beat.

[GeorgeUnheaded]

pinche george kollias toca bien brutal

eso es ser un buen baterista no mamadas!

pinche maquina humana, yeah! Hail Brutal Death Metal Fuckers!

[Nilephan666]

[000sicair]

I love how his legs have to move side to side when he plays his kicks super fast.

[TommyOwnzU]

@000sicair Swivel technique :) check it out mate :P

[000sicair]

@TommyOwnzU I found out about literally right after I watched the video lol. I could never do it, but it's still badass.

[77mikeyv]

I have to say I never listened to Nile before, but I'm going to start now. What any amazing drummer. He is a machine and I'm going to pay tickets to the concert on Nov. 24. in Fort Lauderdale. Thanks for the killer drum footage.

[Militantcheese]

@77mikeyv you have been missing out man, listen to the albums which kollias feature on, amazing drumming.

[tigrisnakkana]

It's not only amazingly fast, it's fuckin' tight!

[xevin666]

mother fucker....how the fuck do you do that?????

[Nautamies]

This is soo amazing drumming, fastness isn't everything but this is so impressive and I know george can play other things aswell :) and it looks like he's playing his eyes closed. You can see it in the videos where they show his face. Is he? What you guys think?

[LongLiveBlastology]

Glad you all like this vid!! I recorded it with a cheap ass little camcorder!! Used it's mono mic, then put the sound thru my Logic Pro system!!

[travis351]
