buy his dvd. Its 100% worth every dime. He goes over all the exercises you can do to increase speed, endurance and a range of other things around the kit.
The fact that he is blasting with one foot (when doing normal blasts, not bomb blasts) makes this even more mind-blowing. I'm proud that me and George are compatriots even though he doesn't even know I exist.
thank "god" for those drum rolls so he can rest his legs, otherwise they would fucking explode ! Kollias will play drums like this when he`s 70 years old :)) and you won`t tell the difference ! dude, you`re the best ! keep up with this insane shit, people love you !
@JuiceofVM Tim Yeung himself stated his max tempo is somewhere in the low 250s. This song is already at 256 on the album, not to mention it's an incredible endurance run at that tempo, which, if you're at your very maximum, you can't really do.
MARATHON SONG!!!!!! GEORGE, I thought your left ankle was going to fly out of your shoe!!!!!! Wow, this song is squeezing some PETE SANDOVAL/ FORMULAS fills in it!!!!! SUPER TIGHT 2 beat blasting!!!! ❤️🙏🥁🎶🎶💪💪💪💪💪💥💥💥💥😁
Jesus FUCK George............... You don't think that just being able to play this without a monitor at all is a bit obscene LMAO?! You my man, are THE KING OF THE DRUMS!!
@dontrickrollme animal he was a monster behind the kit.... george is a spartan behind the kit. and we all know spartans can slay monsters from all corners of the planet.
@acideyeloc Dimmu is symphonic black metal... not blackened death metal, Behemoth is blackened death metal. There are certain rules. Just aply some logic, you`ll get there. :)
@rsman169 black metal and death metal are not alike... you just can't compare them... who knows who is better, but if HH starts playing death metal we'll find out xD (but GK is my fav)
Dimmu is blackened death Black Metal is good ol black and white norwegian hissing and growling rock and roll back when they felt free to challenge christianity with violent revolt and FIRE!!! and rock and roll....
@e3axordos how'd ya know? lol. Its kinda funny because i show my sister/mom/dad/etc. this and they are either like, "It sounds like a clattering machine" or "All i can hear is the drums". Nile does take pride in their drummer... so they mic him up like a mofo in the albums. NO THIS IS NOT A CRITICISM ABOUT TRIGGERS IN ANY WAY/SHAPE/FORM.
It is possible to relax at extreme speed. There is one thing you need to do and it's practice (I know that i'm not GK, but there is no magic trick at all). How to play 250+ bpm? Play more 250+ bpm (start slow, work your way up) There is no technique that you will learn that will make you instanly play 270 bpm doublebass or blast beats. Hope this help man.
Just imagine how much hours & years of consistent training it takes to pull up a song like that with endless 16th notes at 250+ live
Oh George *
Poor nile...if george ever leaves, they are STUCK without a drummer FOREVER!
buy his dvd. Its 100% worth every dime. He goes over all the exercises you can do to increase speed, endurance and a range of other things around the kit.
I remember when you first posted this
Blows my head clean off every time i listen... so darn good...
im not gona lie. that drumming is one of the sickest things ever. good shit man
The fact that he is blasting with one foot (when doing normal blasts, not bomb blasts) makes this even more mind-blowing. I'm proud that me and George are compatriots even though he doesn't even know I exist.
I'd love to see Kollias and Roddy just jamming together. Two incredible drummers, just playing for fun is always good to watch.
Man his left hand's gotten even stronger. Those classic blasts are freakig sick!
thank "god" for those drum rolls so he can rest his legs, otherwise they would fucking explode ! Kollias will play drums like this when he`s 70 years old :)) and you won`t tell the difference ! dude, you`re the best ! keep up with this insane shit, people love you !
he swivels the shit out of his bass drums beast!
insane drumming
I synced this up to the album version on my computer and it instantly became 100 times more badass!!!!
Imagine how fucking much practice it takes to be able to play this.. fucking 256bpm 16th's almost through the whole song, and he kills it.
Out of this world.
George, you really are the perfectionist. You must've worked ages on each song getting them sounding amazing!
fuck me sideways, this guy is a machine
loving these new uploads keep the videos coming GK!
Man that was great nice job.
I love how he makes the hardest parts of the song look stupidly easy
@JuiceofVM Tim Yeung himself stated his max tempo is somewhere in the low 250s. This song is already at 256 on the album, not to mention it's an incredible endurance run at that tempo, which, if you're at your very maximum, you can't really do.
nile were in my city a few weeks ago AND I MISSED IT :(
siempre seras el mejor.
george es el papá!!!
This level of physical intensity would probably kill an average human being.
i bet 50% of the nile fans are drummers
Holy shit you are indredible!! What a shame you dont play in Finland in your tour. : (
the blasts r sick
Inferno and George Kollias should go head to head in a drum battle. that would be some fucking epic shit.
George is the fucking king. His blasts are unbelievable - he destroys the snare. No weak finger blasting for George. And single foot...Jesus H Christ.
best death metal drummer
So insane that you can pull this live! I wanna be you man xD
Holy shit GK that was killer!
MARATHON SONG!!!!!! GEORGE, I thought your left ankle was going to fly out of your shoe!!!!!! Wow, this song is squeezing some PETE SANDOVAL/ FORMULAS fills in it!!!!! SUPER TIGHT 2 beat blasting!!!! ❤️🙏🥁🎶🎶💪💪💪💪💪💥💥💥💥😁
Damn you are so awesome!!!
Can you come to Dubai and give a Drum lessen ? :D
this is amazing man! fastest drumming ive ever seen.
Jesus FUCK George............... You don't think that just being able to play this without a monitor at all is a bit obscene LMAO?! You my man, are THE KING OF THE DRUMS!!
Oh my God!O_O it's amazing
thats called nonstop extreme drumming. ahah nice kolias!!!
@KoKaTa no kidding haha. Derek is the only one who could get close to Kollias at this time.
George Kollias is your new GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
george kollias akbar!
:D
really cool stuff mate, thanks for uploading this. :)
probably my favorite song on the album. Though the whole thing rules!
the double pedals blasting it up :D
@mortalplagueofficial I learned that one the hard way once.drummers who do wear jeans are usually playing heel down i find.
Those whom the gods detest is the best death metal album I've ever heard :p
Fuckin christ, this guy just owns drums.
I love how he starts headbanging at the same part of the song I always do, 1:18
Gee...how..how is that possible!!
Fucking beast!
This is crazy, bro.
@dontrickrollme
animal he was a monster behind the kit....
george is a spartan behind the kit.
and we all know spartans can slay monsters from all corners of the planet.
@e3axordos dude ! best comment ever !!! I don`t know if "ever". I got excited, cause I`m a drummer :)) good comment anyway.
@ e3axordos, This drummer is a huge fan of George Kollias and Alex Pelletier.
george is a badass! =)
I wonder what it's like to say "that's me playing the drums".
@MetalDrummer09 definitely
Awesome one question George do you have a click on the headphones or guitars?
@acideyeloc Dimmu is symphonic black metal... not blackened death metal, Behemoth is blackened death metal. There are certain rules. Just aply some logic, you`ll get there. :)
Shame you didn't play that song in Warsaw
that snare *_______*
@monkeychunkey o yeah forgot about him...but if he says no....its bye bye nile :)
His snare sounds so much better here
so sick! lol
@MrSatanochio haha. I always think of that. I bet he could probably play through them. But there is no need.
goat
@MusicianWil best metal drummer second in line to the mighty Pete Sandoval!
I myself just wish I could play drums like that, if I played drums at all. Their overall sound is a mindfuck however.
@rsman169 black metal and death metal are not alike... you just can't compare them... who knows who is better, but if HH starts playing death metal we'll find out xD
(but GK is my fav)
Dimmu is blackened death
Black Metal is good ol black and white norwegian hissing and growling rock and roll
back when they felt free to challenge christianity with violent revolt and FIRE!!!
and rock and roll....
we are going on a witch hunt for that ONE dislike!
By the way before you destroy me for that last one, it was j/k :D
@SeptimusDrumz That's the truth..
I have not seen any other drummer blasting with one foot as Kollias i think we all know the winner
question = can you fuck with it?
answer = no.
@e3axordos how'd ya know? lol. Its kinda funny because i show my sister/mom/dad/etc. this and they are either like, "It sounds like a clattering machine" or "All i can hear is the drums". Nile does take pride in their drummer... so they mic him up like a mofo in the albums. NO THIS IS NOT A CRITICISM ABOUT TRIGGERS IN ANY WAY/SHAPE/FORM.
If you're going to play in slow motion like this you might as well stay at home.
PA-PA-PA-PA BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-BRPSH-PSH
1:01 fill fail... omg he's not a robot! maybe he's even mortal...
probably 75%
2:10 WTF.....How many BPM?
Click :-)
@Ananthrk yep but kollias would win that :D

@Rhapsody3991 no
Fuckin hell
O_O
@SeptimusDrumz ...still think he's got it in em. Regardless of what he said.
@monkeychunkey Tim Yeung could do it
@Sorantis
roids
bet the drums are more sore than you after a show lol
not much for blast beats but... shit.
why does he even have a dislike button???
