That is one of the most important things of being a drummer. Because nobody likes any kind of musician that is too serius. Than the music sucks. But if we all were the same then the world would be boring
@MRLariful and your point? Tons of extremely talented drummers use triggers. Its not a cheating thing, its a way to get the exact sound from your drum that you want. A beat played on a normal drumset (not electric) is a solid beat played. The triggers Kollias "uses" (I havent researched that) are because he wants his own unique sound.
@FutileExistence Hardcore came out in 81'(DRI, Charged GBH, Discharge, etc). Without it, there would be no thrash or death metal. I agree though that Death metal is like 20 time better. :P
God damn. For a drumming noob like me, I'm working on Jason Bittner's regimen of doing a single stroke roll on the snare, and right foot matching my right hand. (So, left hand is the upbeat, or the "e" and "uh" of the beat). Then move your right hand to the ride cymbal (for me, just to the rim). So far, I'm only at skank beat tempo and I'm surprised how it works - I'm able to even attempt a skank beat for the first time ever. Practice, practice, practice!
HabAnagarek the traditional blast (or as kollias just calls it blast beat) here is like doing a simple single stroke roll on the snare, just that you shift one hand to the cymbal
@UnwillingOrigins Indeed he is. Personally, that's the only way to do a skank IMO, unless the tempo is 140-ish bpm (or 280, depends how you want to interpret the tempo)
thats why he doesn't play just blast beats. just because hes popular for OMG BLASTBEAST BR00TAL and his foot techniques, doesn't mean he isn't creative.
@naplame No Sense by DRI is the "first" evidence of a blast beat. DRI started in 81. I know Wehrmacht used blast beats but they are crossover thrash...
@AllInDrummer they dont suck live, its just not all of the songs Hellhammer does are that demanding. Probably half of the stuff they play live, are songs they made when they were teenagers, so obviously those are much more simple than when Nile is playing.
i bet he has something above him, off camera, that he looks at whenever he drums. just to make us think he's trying really hard, cuz we all know he can do this in his sleep.
@naplame Hardcore drummers were the first to utilize the blast beat(and skank beat) as far as intense genres go. Afterwords, thrash metal bands adopted it. Finally, death metal perfected it.
@AntifaAnarchy Venom is NWOBHM, Speed Metal, Thrash Metal and essentially the first black metal band. I said that Venom paved way to other forms of extreme metal... not that they were the first that blended metal with punk. Lrn2read
this looks so easy. of course, thats cuz George Kollias played it. this dvd should come with a warning lablel: "WARNING: feel free to watch, but attempt at your own risk"
@MRLariful triggers dont affect speed only the sound the drum makes like using distortion in a guitar, in my opinion triggers are a great tool in drumming, they allow you to here where you fuck up in your kick patterns more because each note is a solid note, with out the triggers your bass drum may have to much ring for fast playing & all your strokes will sound like one not, joey uses double pedals so he doesnt mic both kicks live nor does he play at those speeds where its needed.
Swivel is bad for your knees. He doesn't support it, and would rather get rid of it on his left foot. Apparently your foot does it automatically because it's weaker.
@marauder622 Well for the first example of the skank, if he's playing 8ths between kick and snare, what is his right hand doing (on hihat)? Is he matching his kick and snare?
@AntifaAnarchy Ok... so Amebix happened to be crust punk with their 1982 release, NOT Discharge. Venom's Welcome To Hell in 1981 was the their first thrash metal realease, not to mention Black Metal as well. Venom practically paved way for other forms of extreme metal!!
Is that why his snare to tom rolls sound like they have a chop to it when he starts on the snare because of what he was talking about leading with the bass drum? Just something I noticed about him that sounds different than most. Not saying It's bad, just different. I'm not a drummer so excuse the terminology.
George is a beast, specially on extreme drumming, but there are others out there who maybe are better when it comes to rhythm. Also I don¨t understand this "battle" between George and Joey. They're top drummers in their genre, but I would like to see them playing some R&B or Prog Metal
is there a particular technique you are using for your kicks?? i want to go as fast as you but it's just IMPOSSIBLE!!!!! what pedals do you use and do you have some tips??
You're not comparing them, yet you've compared George and Jimmy, twice. It's what people like. Just because you don't like them doesn't necessarily mean that everyone has to follow you. I know that there are better bands out there, my favourite band is Metallica. c:
@McBrain222 it's not all about speed.. I can play as fast as mr. Kollias on cobras but I'm absolutely nowhere near as creative as he is and that's why he has his reputation. The speed is just a sweet bonus/something most youtubers can't see past unfortunately:(.. I'll reccomend two fast and creative drummers to you: Jon karel of the number twelve looks like you(gave me a free lesson before a show) and Alex pelletier of despised icon.
@mateoarv I'd say that it depends. He's fast, alright. But look at drummers like Sean Reinert from Cynic. He's maybe not that fast, but he's really a progressive and technical drummer. And also, there are tons of undiscovered talents out there. I saw a 15 year old kid playing "Kaffir!" by Nile on drums, so yeah... Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Nile and George Kollias playing... Just saying is all.
1:47 sounds like annihilation of the wicked. this guy is awesome

1.47 is what it's all about...playing the blast with 1 foot. it just doesn't sound the same when alternating left and right on the kicks.
Finally a Blast Beat Drummer who uses another brand than MEINL.
respect from greece...georgo eisai theos re file...megale respect...
My favourite sounding snare for blast beats
That is one of the most important things of being a drummer. Because nobody likes any kind of musician that is too serius. Than the music sucks. But if we all were the same then the world would be boring
That was an absolutely incredible display of independence.
So cool he even leaves his right hand free when blasting...
The bomb blast sounds amazing.
I feel my leg burning just by watching this...
My top fave drummers: George Kolias, Dave Lambardo, Inferno, Frost.
I'd shit bricks and buckets after that.
of course he is the best
that drum set is sick
He looks like Nergal.
um dos melhores bateristas do mundo blast blast blast
George Kollias isnt human!

The god of double base and blast beats also
@FutileExistence

what accuracy to do that!!! Kollias is god!!!
he teaches well.. Awesome excercises
haha, how could ever think about disliking this
not only hardcore bands play it haha. its used in so many genres man!
I was keeping speed with him for a little bit, but then I just stopped. I couldn't keep going that fast for long at all.
bomb blast at 2:00 is awesome!!!!!!!
im not afraid to say that george is the best metal drummer out there
FUUUCCCKKK!!!!, he makes it all look so easy!!!.
@iThrashNano
I know sir.... -__-
Venom came out in 79' and they are thrash, speed, NWOBHM.
derek roddy calls the down blast a hammer blast!!
@iThrashNano
wrong, Venom a huge influence of black metal. But they are thrash, speed, NWOBHM.
They were proto-black metal
@roholinkinpark
perhaps, compared to the kit Kollias has now. But it is hand made in limited production in Greece, check out Gabriel drums
Oh my, what a drummer!
@lolBAkeLOL: Eat drums, sleep on the drums, play drums, Eat more drums, sleep in the bass drum, Play even more drums, become god.
I call it a hardcore beat since most hardcore bands play it.
@jayb613 Death metal came bt 1982, 1983. Somewhere in that era. Was really underground till atleast 86 though.
God damn. For a drumming noob like me, I'm working on Jason Bittner's regimen of doing a single stroke roll on the snare, and right foot matching my right hand.

@xBaphometHx And in france we said poum tchak poum tchak ha!
Dang! Wish I could do that
1)George Kollias
2)Hellhammer
3)Inferno
@UnwillingOrigins Indeed he is. Personally, that's the only way to do a skank IMO, unless the tempo is 140-ish bpm (or 280, depends how you want to interpret the tempo)
3:15 OMFG! THAT'S SO FUCKING SICK! D:
thats why he doesn't play just blast beats. just because hes popular for OMG BLASTBEAST BR00TAL and his foot techniques, doesn't mean he isn't creative.
@naplame
No Sense by DRI is the "first" evidence of a blast beat.
DRI started in 81.
I know Wehrmacht used blast beats but they are crossover thrash...
@CamerOneiric
You're right. Its about technique and opinions.
@AllInDrummer they dont suck live, its just not all of the songs Hellhammer does are that demanding. Probably half of the stuff they play live, are songs they made when they were teenagers, so obviously those are much more simple than when Nile is playing.
kid you gotta let this go
@Yousuffering77 Hahaha Here in Spain we say "Tu pa tu pa". It sounds the same.
i bet he has something above him, off camera, that he looks at whenever he drums. just to make us think he's trying really hard, cuz we all know he can do this in his sleep.
have you ever heard about George Kollias?
i agree best drummer in metal by far...if u don't agree find a better metal drummer and tell me his name....Kollias is #1
@naplame
Hardcore drummers were the first to utilize the blast beat(and skank beat) as far as intense genres go. Afterwords, thrash metal bands adopted it. Finally, death metal perfected it.

Lrn2read
damn dat right foot...
@McBrain222 drummer of here comes the kraken sick drumming
Actually, it was first the gospel /church beat..That was used heavily in black churches and later some roots music the Southern US states..
I heard he beats his wives just as hard as his drumkit, but more often.
this looks so easy.
of course, thats cuz George Kollias played it.
this dvd should come with a warning lablel: "WARNING: feel free to watch, but attempt at your own risk"
I mean check what George sings and what Joey sings.What George sings is way more complex...
@Haddockxyz300 Ya I guess so, there are just many fucking amazing ones.
@MRLariful triggers dont affect speed only the sound the drum makes like using distortion in a guitar, in my opinion triggers are a great tool in drumming, they allow you to here where you fuck up in your kick patterns more because each note is a solid note, with out the triggers your bass drum may have to much ring for fast playing & all your strokes will sound like one not, joey uses double pedals so he doesnt mic both kicks live nor does he play at those speeds where its needed.
Hey, my Son. Yes, I know. But i'm really proud of you. Great Drumwork.^^
@FutileExistence no sir,hardcore punk has been around earlier than death metal.
and in 6th is George KO' Llias
1:12 you forgot we are humans...
@naplame Doesn't matter who created it, Pete Sandoval mastered it.
1. Pete Sandoval
2.Derek Roddy
3.Dan Beehler
Monster, congrats!!!
@FutileExistence
Venom is not thrash, Venom is early black metal.
Tim Yeung's gotta be in there somewhere.
so why is George Kollias the world's best drummer? Please explain yourself
death metal drummers are the best hands down
Swivel is bad for your knees. He doesn't support it, and would rather get rid of it on his left foot. Apparently your foot does it automatically because it's weaker.

I wish my Superior Drummer can play this^^
Avenged Semenflow.
i dont think i will ever be able to play like this lol. he is fucking insane. but im not even 16 yet so i guess i have some time to learn how to.
You're 27 now, can you do blast beats?
@lolBAkeLOL Apparently, he only eats one meal a day. Even more time for playing drums.
...why are you aggressive? I was not ironic. Sorry about the confusion. I totaly agree with you
@AntifaAnarchy

@jayb613
I know this... but Death Metal came in the 80s as well. =)
is there a particular technique you are using for your kicks?? i want to go as fast as you but it's just IMPOSSIBLE!!!!! what pedals do you use and do you have some tips??
@AntifaAnarchy I totally agree. And NY Hardcore=Late 80s thrash=Brutal Death like Suffocation.
I also love joey jordison. But you have to understand that your love for slipknow is causing your judgement to suck...
You're not comparing them, yet you've compared George and Jimmy, twice.
It's what people like. Just because you don't like them doesn't necessarily mean that everyone has to follow you.
I know that there are better bands out there, my favourite band is Metallica. c:

dream theater did not fuck up :)
@odiumhumanigeneri616
No. Its just my 3 favorite drummers, there is no such thing as a ''best'' drummer.
@Haddockxyz300 if there ever was the best black metal drummer it is: Emil Dragutinovic, ex-Marduk.
Does anyone know what type of drumkit he's playing ? It sounds awesome !
@nigelic You must check Inferno from Behemoth!
He is amazing. But Jimmy Sullivan is still my favourite drummer.
@mateoarv I'd say that it depends. He's fast, alright. But look at drummers like Sean Reinert from Cynic. He's maybe not that fast, but he's really a progressive and technical drummer. And also, there are tons of undiscovered talents out there. I saw a 15 year old kid playing "Kaffir!" by Nile on drums, so yeah... Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Nile and George Kollias playing... Just saying is all.
and Inferno :)
