Interesting fact: This is from George Kollias Solo Album. But unlike most metal musicians (Or even, musicians in general) he truly means the word solo: He not only performed all drums but recorded all instruments: bass, guitar and even did the vocals. So he's also one of the best multi instrumentalists in metal today.
"so from what I can see.... This man is fucked up!" I think that's a universal compliment. I say it everytime I watch the guy play! I like your videos. Show us some killer jazz drummers we don't hear much about
Kollias mastered the heel toe technique beyond insanity. My mind just blows when think about playing double notes on each drum to form a 4 note stroke within a normal 2 note tempo... wtf
@@Kain_R_Heinlein He has a subtle way to switch from heel-toe to swivel if you watched enough of him, and that's almost unique between most the drummers. Nick Barker comes to mind, but he's a robot, so... it doesn't count.
@@Compendyum I... have seen a lot of him and I've never seen him once use heel toe lol. A drummer renowned for his single stroke and one foot speed would be sparking waves with a single known instance of heel toe. Please provide examples if they exist. He may not always use swivel (depending on the tempo) but he's always doing single strokes
I would hope he would implement his crossover skills in death metal too. I always find him to be exhilaratingly fast but overall really dull in Nile albums. His countryman Fotis Benardo is equally fast, but actually uses his skills in other musical areas to create some interesting jazzy dynamics in an otherwise 280 bpm blasting environment.
@TheMetalWeasel I love early Aborted, haven't been really into the newer stuff, got to check that one out. Another super fast guy who's got a knack to keep things interesting is Kevin Foley, I guess nowadays famous for Benighted. He does amazingly fast shit and keeps it interesting, maybe the best gravity blast guy I've ever seen though he uses it with taste.
He also teaches drums at the 'Modern Music School' in Athens Greece. Now I wish I was Greek so I could attend his classes. The pure wealth of knowledge, writing ability, speed and technical prowess that guy has is mind blowing.
Seeing Nile live after waiting so many years was everything I wanted it to be. Their ability to play such complex music so perfectly live blew my fucking mind.
I remember that clip. Thing about that swivel technique: it's a sure path to high speed, but it destroys your ankles over time. George said in an interview that he was going to try and use it as little as possible; try to build speed with a straight foot. I think it's one of those habits that's hard to...kick?
Gene holgan...which death song? Which death drummer?...i love the drumming on crystal mountain, but I feel like there’s another comparable song that I’m not thinking of that would be something other than that
@@obi-wannabekennotbi2418 I have to agree with you on this one. Reinart is such an incredible drummer with amazing feel. If he hadn't worked with Chuck on Human, Death wouldn't have evolved beyond the traditional death metal formula. Christie was an excellent drummer, but I preferred him on Control Denied's Fragile Art of Existence over Sound of Perseverance. Hoglan is a machine, and recorded some of the best songs Death ever released. Human will always be my favorite death album, because it was the turning point in their musical direction.
Congrats on 1000 subs :) You deserve it. Unlike most react channels you give some good insight and analysis of their playing and that's what i really enjoy. Keep it going :)
Nile is one of the best death metal bands ever and George is a big part of their draw. Of course Karl can write these albums with different drummers, and he has, but there's a reason George has been with the band since '04. Thanks for the reaction.

In the metal scene, we refer to that drum kick technique as the Swivel Technique, which when used along with things like Heel-Toe and the Gravity Blast (rim blasts) create intense, fast flavors for the genre
He definitely does. At those speeds the beaters are barely touching the head so without triggers you wouldn't even hear him playing. And it's favour not favor.
Amazing drummer, thanks again for the nice video, here take my sub! Finally a reaction video without any fast video cuts, just something to enjoy in our daily lifes, thx garrett (also I did not know many of the videos of those amazing drummers).
I dig how you soak it all in. It’s nice to see musicians appreciate our art. Would like an overview with play back clips at the end where you talk about time changes and composition techniques that you like.
Congrats on those subs :) Some recs for you: Bobby Jarzombek - School Fredrik Thordendal and Morgan Agren - Sol niger Within Gavin Harrison - Anesthetize
@@pietzsche yeah he plays heel-down on his left and heel up on his right. He explained it as because he started out with a single bass drum pedal heel down was pretty normal for playing the hihat and it just stayed that way when he moved to double bass.
@@philanaemic Yeah I've seen him say that, if you watch him tho he's doing other stuff as well, doesn't seem to be conscious, and doesn't seem to affect the sound at all, great drummer
@@pietzsche he's been doing his thing quite a long time so it makes sense he's just worked stuff out for himself. The focus on technique really came about because of guys like him.
My former drummer called this foot technique "putting out the butt" as the motion is similar to putting out a cigarette after dropping it on the ground. George Kollias is his influence for this technique.
Ha cool connection to brushwork! Never thought about it that way. Speaking of which, did you ever notice how much Paul Motian killed with brushes in the Bill Evans Trio?
I think I remember reading somewhere part of the advantage of the foot method George uses is it helps him keep track of where he is in the beat on where his feet are positioned at the time. Interesting watching it done.
Also another recommendation from Canadian Spencer Prewett playing Lucid Collective Zonambulation: another one of those "too fast for normal framerates" guy but the interesting part is that he alternates hands during blast beats to keep the speed up and avoid getting tired, also instead of double rides he has a ride but double bells so you'll dig that prolly, check it out: ua-cam.com/video/rhxWIkiecOA/v-deo.html
Hey, just a few more. :D Anup Sastry - Titan - Play Through Alex Rudinger of The Faceless playing Xenochrist House Of The Rising Sun-Five Finger Death Punch- IAN HEAD (Drum Cover) HD Top 8 Best Drummers On The Core Scene 🥁 (this is as the Name said just a compilation in no particular order) Er Will Sex - AnnenMayKantereit & SXTN (not much footage of the drummer but i like it) Chris Turner - Hansha playthrough i just like the joy and happiness of this drummers during their performance.
Fun fact: When I lived in Greenville, South Carolina the band I drummed for had a practice space at the same facility as Nile. Low and behold, one night we're standing outside taking a break, and a "convoy" of vehicles pull up; several have Nile stickers, etc. on the windows. We anxiously wait for the occupants to exit, and sure enouth, it's none other than the band. Being a metal drummer I was very aware of George and his skill. We said hi to the guys, nonchalantly as if they were just another garage band, then stood outside their rehearsal room door listening to the masters at work \m/
Could you react to Darkside (Drummer of Mgla) Especialy his Exercises in Futility V & II Drum Cam clips? Would be interested to hear your Opinion on his technique and Chymbal work.
In case no one's said it yet, it's the "swivel foot" technique. That and heel toe are very common in metal. Some drummers use heel toe with hitting 2 strokes on each foot. 1, 2 on right foot, then 1, 2 on left, alternating between. If that makes sense.
Not sure if they have a play through but The Contortionist song Flourish is amazing. Joey Baca is their drummer and brother Robby plays one of the guitars
I see you’ve had requests for Baard from Leprous. You should definitely check out his play through for COMA. You’d be stupidly amazed by his handwork on that song.
Could you review a song from Devin Townsend's Empath album? There's 3 drum playthroughs i know from the drummer of the album: Sprite with Morgan Ågren Hear Me with 66Samus Singularity with Anup Sastry
Excellent analysis vid especially considering you weren't here to analyze! Really appreciate these videos. Vinnie Paul used a similar foot technique, got his whole body 'wobbling' and these amazing rhythms would be generated by his feet. Other 'extreme' drummers to check out are Derek Roddy, Nicholas Barker, Hannes Grossmann and Bobby Jarzombek. I'd also love it if you could do a few vids to showcase and analyze some of the more technical jazz and big band drummers. Keep up the great work
swivel technique. the side to side movement generates a downward push of the toes when the heel changes directions. helps you maintain power at high speeds.
the swivel technique for double bass drums makes you go faster up to the 300 pulss BPM tempos George Kollias uses both single foot singel stroke blast beat and 2 foot double stoke blast beat
A bunch of ppl has probably already said the same thing but the double pedal stuff George is doing is called swivel technique and i have played drums (mostly metal) for 25 years and its a technique i Still try to learn!🤘
I could never figure out how to nail down that swivel technique. There's another incredible drummer named Tim Yeung, you should check out his stuff with Divine Heresy.
cool vids man... you could check the drummer of sepultura...eloy casagrande...just pick one vid and im sure you'll like his stile...he is not the fastest but the groove...man. i recomend... cheers!
As a drummer its really great to see someone who knows what they're talking about and as a metal head, it's always great to see someone appreciate the music. Loving the vids, try Samus Paulicelli (66samus) playing Hear Me by Devin Townsend. Great track and great drumming

He would pass the time

He also plays jazz!
@@murilogarcia3994 Yes, there is nice piece also here " George Kollias- burn Out" who doesnt know, should check this out ;)
A lot of confusion here so let me set the record straight. "George" is the left foot. "Kollias" is the right foot. The guy in the middle is Skippy.

I thought the same, there is the left side of this guy and the right one doing the opposite still in time
"so from what I can see.... This man is fucked up!"
