George is still and will always be one of the best in the game. This is raw, unedited live sound and it’s super clean yet it still has that ‘human’ feel to it. Also, some the chops he throws at us during the slower parts are second to none.
I second this!
@@JonasEide I third it!
I fourth this. And! That snare is not tightened to shit. It sounds very loose. George is the GOAT i think.
I fifth it! 🤘🤘🤘
too bad nile isn’t good
This guy has been top of the game for 20 years and still completely obliterates most of the younger metal dudes of today. Legend!
George is like a mad cyborg beast on the drum kit! Such precision.... so clockwork! One of the best in the world!
He did more fills in this song than most will do in their life. 😂
I’m just impressed that he’s never gotten his speed with double strokes
thats coz he KNOWS how to play drums dude!
Ol George learned the swivel technique and never looked back, I guess. He uses the footblaster triggers, but he sure as shit doesn’t need ‘em since he’s seemingly built up a lifetime of endurance.
@@whyhatestrangers he needs them like every other speed drummer, otherwise you'd only be hearing shit. he uses triggers as they should be used - to clean up the audio spectrum as is necessary if you play at this speed in a metal band
respect to the metal drummers that use single strokes still in this day. Heel toe really isn't as impressive or sick to watch
Remember when it was just George, Inferno and Derek Roddy, and now you got 14 year olds playing 300bpm for an hour straight
Don't forget tim yeung lol who also filled in for Nile and gate eternals first drummer
Completely agree, but imo they still stand out. A a lot of folks can match the speed but lack the playful creativity to make them sound 'unique' and instantly recognizable. From the fresh generation J. Saint Merat from Ulcerate does that well.
@@1fox3 J. Saint Merat, Chason Westmoreland, Charlie Koryn, Dobber Beverly, Mike Caputo, and Jon Rice all greats that to me have such a human element to their playing that gives them each such a unique sound. All forces to be reckoned with.
And Flo Mounier
But the 300bpm sounds like tapping. Ive yet to see a 300bpm drummer that uses the same hand grip like kollias and roddy (wrist only). Kollias has songs where it’s 280 and he pounding the shit out of his snare.
Drumming like this blows my mind and I can't get over it....unreal.
I dont like nile a lot. But i like him a lot. He is still a beast. Thiiezs rolls over the toms are so clean. And creative
What a beast still ! You can tell he will never loose it . His life is drumming .
Кайф!
The OG of Flying
In 2009 I took my 12 year old drummer son to see you play in Louisville. He was soaking it all in and still plays. I'm glad I have that memory of him seeing someone he idols
no shit?!!? 12? thats so dope
why cant your fills sound like this on the albums????? this is absolutely insane!!!! the records dont do justice to your amazing skills in terms of tom fills, hails!
This is crazy, the older George is the better his drumming seems to get!!
I watch many drummers, many playing this style and hands down watching George play is still jaw dropping.
Insanely clean live performance, my hats off to you, Mr. Kollias. You're one of the best drummers out there.
"How fast do you want your drumming?"
"Yes"
Absolute legend!
Man this makes me want a live Nile album so bad! Awesome drumming as usual George!
To me George is the reason Blast Beats have become more popular and there are more DM drum play throughs . I love Tony Laureano as well, he played on some of Nile’s best songs it’s just George brought it to another level !
Holy shit!! So brutal George, you still the king of death metal drumming!!
Holy shit! This is beyond good.... I don't think there is another drummer that could do this...... I know the are plenty of drummers capable of going this fast, and probably play the song, but with that kind of dynamics and control.... and the improvisation.... totally in awe👊👊👊

George Kollias... That's Kollias... astonishing as always!!
All my admiration from Seville (Spain).
🙂👍🇪🇦
🥁
Freaking powerhouse
Finally!!! Zildjian ?? When it happened ?
Such a different sound to the kit with Zildjian! Much more of an easier, more delicate swish sound...played in death metal. Epic.
My arms are getting cramps just watching this BEAST!!
Simply the best !
Upload everything you have Georges or it will be a waste ! And come to France 😊 : it's not that far from Athens
Love the drumstick launch at 4:07. Amazing drumming, GK.
Hail Satan
@@JasonAustin no, thats george, not satan!!
Dope as fuck
he does the same thing at 1:13 but here he also catches the drumstick again. absolute legend haha
I love it when you have your pedals sound like machine guns
Those fills are great. Explosive and precise. The band sounds amazing, kind of a hometown/ country show too. GK is better than ever, as always, more videos please!!!
Mad respect brother! You inspired me to play drums in my teens. So happy to see you uploading insane performances still! And Nile is just amazing. Cheers from Norway
All I can say is fucking amazing one badass drummer one of the best if not the best
I pulled a leg muscled just watching this.
Ma chłop fantazję🙂🍀
From the Sickening Horror days, to the Nile message board days bro! Still an amazing, absolutely gifted drummer man! What a journey. All the best.
😲 Killer!!!
The man, the myth, the legend.... gonna watch this later with headphones, but gonna drop a like anyway cause this is no doubt epic!
Nile is the best death metal band. I’ve seen them live more than any other band cuz it’s such a treat to watch and listen! Thank you for murdering my ear holes for years 😊
3:24 🤯🤯🤯
Oh shit, fancy seeing you here haha. George is still one of the best ;)
George is just on a different level all there is to it.
I think its fair to call George the GOAT
Metal has changed alot in the past 10+ years but George remains as the absolute beast he always was, plus more. His playing on the newest album was completely insane.
Huge respect for Mr. Kollias! Great drummer, great teacher and a great person!
The accuracy and precision from this man is unmatched.
I love George's onstage demeanor. Eyes closed as one would invoke an Ancient God of Death.
I'm not going to pretend I'm the biggest connoisseur of George, but damn, that man is a machine. So tight.
Better than ever George! Such a beautiful control. So impressive that you pulled this off live at this level. Truly one of a kind!
That ride sounds amazing. Love the good quality audio too!
The ride being used is probably the A Zildjian 21 inch mega bell
Drumming for Nile is one thing, but doing with your eyes closed most of the time is just nuts.
its all about knowing your kit and where everything is and knowing every hit, takes a lot of practice!
closing the eyes is the easiest thing as a drummer (if you know your kit) sometimes it even makes playing easier, provides additional focus
I think he said once that he's had moments where the muscle memory simply takes you where you need to be without thinking about it. I believe it was a chat where they were talking about the energy and endurance required to play this stuff. I think Brian said something along the same lines.
@@hazardeuruh it's never easy at 270 bpm
@@lordsozehcp5362 i'd figure if i close my eyes playing at my speed and having no problem with finding my way around the kit, it would be the same for someone like Kollias who obviously plays way faster but also has way more skill and experience so it should even out.
Everything about this rules george! Your singles around the Tom’s are out of this world 🤟
Beast!
Monster 🤟🏼
His fills sound like the wrath of the ancient gods
George has still got it … in spades. Those fills are lightning and that live mix is sick.
Amount of sweat that comes off of you when you play that fast because your muscles are moving that quickly and need that much oxygen!!!!!!! Somebody grab a towel and wipe off GK‘s forehead!!!!!! His eyes have got to be burning from all the blood sweat and tears that went into this song!!!!! ❤️🥁🎼❤️🥁🎼
Amazing!
this looks absolutely exhausting lol
I like the splashes on the fills. Also, amazing audio.
Best!🔥
Gracias maestro kollias estudio su metodo de percusión extrema es realmente impresionante su nivel .the more fast drummer in the metal music extremo NILE Master Band.
Zildjian???...whoa!
DRUM GOD!!!)))
One of the few drummers that gets nastier with age. Dude is that cellar wine 🤘
Good god.. I mean the whole thing is mind-blowing really. But the sheer POWER of the hands at this speed.. CRIPES!
This is what it looks like to play at home!! George at his best!!
So awesome when a new GK video shows up on my recommendation . Thanks for everything you do. Mostly making me look at my kit with disgust and thinking well... I give up lol
Seeing and hearing GK always reminds me, why I'm into death metal! Mesmerizing
Beast
Wow! It's a non stop drum solo!)
Still going strong. Legend!
Absolute masterclass. GOAT.
The greatest drath metal drummer ever he set the bar high for those who want to be the best at their trade
Ευγεεε..
I did not know that George plays Zildjian now
Thank you for sharing George! Great footage. Impressive and inspiring. Makes me want to play my kit \m/
Can't wait to see you guys in Brazil in June! 🤘
Great play through of a great song
Absolutely killer!!!
God damn! I'm so ready for new Nile!!!
So clean! \m/
INSANE!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🥁
Awesome!
What a beast! 🤯
Insane! George is a war machine...
Zildjians sounds great- much improved cymbal quality. Sometimes it's not how many notes you can squeeze into a measure, but the quality of notes-
Killed it, as always :)
Has the most feel imo among extreme metal drummers
Esta bem em falta com videos ao vivo, ainda bem que agora temos video novo! E que venham mais \m/
This is just what i needed in my life!! You definitely need to research S M Zeus!!
Glad to see you with Zildjians.
🐐
Finally no strobe lights ....THX
the Master :)
You are a GOD among mere mortals.
George is the grand master of fills dbl bass everything he set the standard of what death drumming is all about
Literal god
Finally a proper video with Zildians, hopefully will get some studio version to hear the essence of the cymbals.
GOAT
cool ass drumstick launch at 1:13
Amazing! Such a pity that there is no feet cam:/ 🤘🏿
There would be a big blur :)
