George has the best single strokes on the bass drums when you take into consideration the power he gets from his blazing speed making it a lethal combination
Hes amazing. Blast beats and bpm is like the bench press of drumming. You can still be a good athlete without benching 500 lbs, and you can still be a good drummer without being able to play anything on "Those Whom the Gods Detest"
What. The. Fuck. I've been watching Alex rudinger alot and he uses double strokes past 240bpm so that seemed perfectly normal and then I see this mo fucker at 280 using single foot for his blasts and his double bass is fuckin outta hand lol idk why he wears jeans either
@@kevinredford2946 I don't think Joey is jealous at all. He's way more famous, and quite frankly his drumming has much more soul. I loved hearing George Kollias play but hearing the same drum fill over and over again made me really respect creativity in other musicians. Kollias is much faster, but that's about it
I love watching George Kollias play!😍I never get tired of it.. absolutely incredible. I told my cousin that George can and does go all the way up to 280 bpm, and he didn't believe me. So now we're sitting here watching this and his mouth is just hanging open and he's saucer eyed.🤣
It's a man; no, it's a machine; no, it's George Kollias! Just when you thought it was not humanly possible to go any faster, he does just that. This video never ceases to amaze me.
I don’t understand how his hands keep up w/ his feet,,?? I mean I’ve tried holding my sticks and blasting but reaching speeds past 200 bpm is mind blowing 2 me..is he using a special technique?
This is really amazing and outlandish to watch but pointless. It is admirable in a very limited way and viewpoint of how percussion can be approached. I don't know how he does that with one foot but more power to him if he can push his limits, and demonstrate what the human body is capable of achieving.
It's not pointless at all; it's from an instructional DVD [Extreme Metal Drumming]; the point is to teach people how to step up from "normal" tempos to "crazy" tempos.
I think he moves his feet left to right like that to trigger different muscle groups in the leg while doing the double bass so that lactic acid does not build up in a specific area and lead to fatigue, which will allow him to keep that BPM without his legs burning out. I could be wrong though, it could be just a technique to allow him to play that fast. Either way, good stuff bro that is very impressive.
he is essentially using the pivot in his ankle like the wrist when playing blast beats..and it is also for endurance. he actually explains it in one of his other videos
I definitely think that’s a big reason, when that happens to me, swiveling helps keep my legs from burning out. I think you’ve scientifically explained the swivel technique lmao 🤘
its all about speed and endurance practice/workout....not much of groove in here...check out his other vids....to name a few.....cerebrum-pattern of fear....etc..
Wow, a lot of really cool stories on this page by bros. Kollias is the fucking king of this particular style of drumming. His performance in this video is brilliant.
I mean if you can play this fast im sure he can play any genre he tries haha everything else is easier as far as endurance goes. And quick hands equals putting lil tricks here n there when you're groovin. So dont doubt this man...
This man pretty much gave me drumming lessons. After I bought his dvd I become 10x better on drums. I can play 230. Didn't even know I was. Can't go over that yet though.
it is done by kicking and moving the foot from one side to other. this way it gives more pressure and depth. it is actually like circling your foot clockwise while keeping toe on the pedal.
Two words: Fuck. Off. Absolutely incredible, not just the speed but also the precision and consistency; Kolias is quite simply astounding, I can't play drums worth a fuck but just watching this dude makes me remember why there's no point in even trying anyway! Ha!
@wilson2810 and each note would be at exactly the same volume, but if you were to play the same 280 bpm groove on a kit that wasn't triggered the volume would be significantly lower because once you hit a certain speed you just can't hit the surface as hard and as a result the sound won't be as loud. They do have triggers that attach to the pedal which are reactive to the speed and give a more "true" response to what is actually being played. I hope this helps!
On the seventh day, God was resting. But he felt like something is missing, so he asked his master; George Kollias what else he can do??? Kollias answered - "make me a drumkit..."
Let me try to follow up on what Wilson told you...basically the trigger is a small device placed on the drum surface that is hooked up to a computer/mixer that produces a sound which is amplified every time the surface is struck. A lot of drummers only use them on the bass drums but you can trigger all drums and cymbals if you want. Typically people choose to have the trigger make a noise that sounds like a real drum, but you can make a trigger play practically any sound...
I think everyone felt the same. When I first got into death metal, I fucking loved the instrumentals but couldn't stand the vocals, but it grows on you after a while, and soon you'll forget about the vocals
Only George can make 200 BPM feel slow.
I do this heel toe and push pull single strokes and double strokes for both hands AND feet
"Hello officer."
"Mr. Kollias, are you aware you were doing 280 in a 230 bpm zone?"
"230?"
"Yes Mr. Kollias."
"AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!"
Needs more cowbell
George has the best single strokes on the bass drums when you take into consideration the power he gets from his blazing speed making it a lethal combination
Saw him live at a clinic, it was the most jaw-dropping and intense thing i'd ever seen live, and i've seen Tim Yeung play live with Divine Heresy..
I think he missed a hit in there.
How is it humanly possible to be that fast and at the same time SO relaxed?! My mind is blown.
I would really enjoy watching him play as fast as he [humanly] can wearing a Sonic the Hedgehog costume, or Flash or something

Best drummer in metal today IMHO
Much respect

only drummer i know that can reach this speed, still sound clean and use proper technique
@Rayan Aridi Nils Fjellstrom is pretty close.
Amen
And volume is never changed, astonishing
Simon “Bloodhammer” Schilling can do it
@@francoisSwine its because of the triggers.
36 people down voted this video...They must all be better drummers cuz there is no other reason to not like this....Holy Shit
Joey Jordison disliked this 36 times! Amazing work man, Nile is an awesome band!
jajaja
but i like joey jordison...
Because Joey is jealous. Haters will hate. Joey couldn't piss in a stall next to George without being embarrassed.
@@kevinredford2946 I don't think Joey is jealous at all. He's way more famous, and quite frankly his drumming has much more soul.

lalamike25 Joey isn’t one iota more soulful than this guy, check out Matt Halpern

I am beginning to play drums. I have listened to Nile before, but now I'm listening mainly to drums in their music. This guy is a GOD.
Damn, He'll initiate a crack in time/space and dissapear, leaving only the sticks.
(Don't do drugs jaja)
Lol warp speed Mister Sulu!
This comment killed me 🤣🤣
Blast beats with one kick??
Yep, why he's the man.
Kevin Redford more like why he’s not human
And no trigers🤘
@@claudioahumada9189 he use triggers for kick.
@@gwengame7632 really ?
Prove it🤔
It's a man; no, it's a machine; no, it's George Kollias! Just when you thought it was not humanly possible to go any faster, he does just that. This video never ceases to amaze me.
Imagine this as a televised competition. Drummers go head to head at different bpms, genres, the rest writes itself
and im here still struggling to play double bass at 180bpm :)
Many people do not even know what double bass is, think like that :)
And after 5 years, I hope you are better, lol
I hope you got it, after 7 years :)
I don’t understand how his hands keep up w/ his feet,,?? I mean I’ve tried holding my sticks and blasting but reaching speeds past 200 bpm is mind blowing 2 me..is he using a special technique?

Eyy
One of the best drumming vids I've ever seen on UA-cam bar none. If I could favourite this again I would!!!
The amount of control in this guy's drumming is absolutely mind blowing

That's actually the swivel technique but man you got some nice analysis there. I've never thought of that before.
he is essentially using the pivot in his ankle like the wrist when playing blast beats..and it is also for endurance. he actually explains it in one of his other videos
I like that technique in particular, and how it has helped me to achieve 200bpm blast beats.
I definitely think that’s a big reason, when that happens to me, swiveling helps keep my legs from burning out. I think you’ve scientifically explained the swivel technique lmao 🤘
I think you are right, if you wanna prove it, try singles without swivelling and then swivel , you will feel the diference inmediatly.
i just came all over my screen and keyboard...thanks a lot George
george is top 5 metal drummers in the wolrd.... 250 bpm with one foot for real george GOAT
Nile is an amazing band!
its all about speed and endurance practice/workout....not much of groove in here...check out his other vids....to name a few.....cerebrum-pattern of fear....etc..
oh it's about speed, endurance, practice and workout? i thought it was magic.. thank you cpt. blobvious
My legs are cramping just watching this guy.
this is the best drummmer on earth
Next time he has a bath, I'm going to throw my washing in! Lmao
this is insane!
Wow, a lot of really cool stories on this page by bros. Kollias is the fucking king of this particular style of drumming. His performance in this video is brilliant.
Incredible!, i saw George two years ago in clinic with psyroptics Davs haley and hes incredible!.
Also got a signed DVD from both, whos jealous???
And I thought Dave Lombardo was fast...
He sounds like Dave Weckl.
lol
UNBELIEVABLE!! WAY, WAY, WAAAAAY TOO UNDERRATED!!!!
His feet are like the wings of a hummingbird. Every time I see this video I can't believe my ears.
Speed demo or otherwise. this is a demonstration of physicality beyond imagination.
His fast playing definitely is worth listening to, but I kinda find it limiting that he didn't believe anyone could go past 270 for over a minute
No one like him
but can his guitarists keep up?
Yes.
AlexC0rpse More like he "nile-d" it. :D
You sir made my week.
Of course, darling.
Hell yeah karl is a awesome guitarist
every time im going to start practicing i see this video for inspiration
I have this DVD with a George sign! I've meet George in Florence! Hail George!
not quite my tempo !
Thats a good one
Overrated and cringy joke
I mean if you can play this fast im sure he can play any genre he tries haha everything else is easier as far as endurance goes. And quick hands equals putting lil tricks here n there when you're groovin. So dont doubt this man...
This man should inspire you! Not make you feel defeated. Just keep practicing. Even when it seems hopeless.
thank you, mr. Kollias, for playing single bass about 2x faster than i play double bass... makes me feel great
I think the real power behind all nile is the drumming, hail George Kollias
That is just siiick!! I would love to see him try 300 and fail, just so I can start belive he is still human! George Kollias is amazing!
Who’s to say he’d fail?
Monstro toca muito 👏👏👏👏
he is the drum machine that many bands use for their songs
Too much awesomeness for my ears!
Yyeeeaaaaaaahhhhhh.
Best drummer and fastest I ever saw.
A female recordhungry drummer cannot mess with him about FAST.
Imagine him as an ancient Spartan thrusting his spear at this speed...that could explain the death-toll at Thermopylae...
This man pretty much gave me drumming lessons. After I bought his dvd I become 10x better on drums. I can play 230. Didn't even know I was. Can't go over that yet though.
You deserve the medal of epic blast speed!
i prefer the human element of his drumming, not 100% clean but so much feel and his time is spot on.
If you play this video at 1.25x speed after 260 bpm reality starts to distort
Why would anyone even dislike this?
I just shook my head for 4.13 mins straight.
I think that the pedal is sweating right now :)
George,you are amazing!!!!!!!
happy birthday George! Blast master!!!
My legs hurt just watching this!
RESPECT!!!!!
WOW . fantastic!
Long Live Legend!
This needs more views.
@navas015 thats why i love george no heel toe no feathering the beater full stroke hard hit single stroke madness. Long live Captain Kollias
I LOVED when he did it at 255 BPM. 2:36 - Don't even know how his kick drums heads survived that kind of beating.
George RULES!!! one of best death metal drummers in this time \m/
😒🥵
Adding a lateral swing to your downstroke utilizes more of your upper leg muscles, which grants increased speed and stamina.
absolutely sick
George Kollias: The Best
it is done by kicking and moving the foot from one side to other. this way it gives more pressure and depth. it is actually like circling your foot clockwise while keeping toe on the pedal.
madre mia!!! impresionante!!!!!! no se como lo haces!!! que velocidad!!! enhorabuena!!!
hehehe aah i see dude:)gooood:)cheers from the drummer in norway:)
Amazing
I break out into a sweat just doing 3bpm...just watching this I'm over heating....I need a doctor. .please.....times a factor !
He's cleaner at 260 bpm than he is at 200! What in the name of George...
i always wondered what makes him so amazing. and ive come to conclusions that its the accent, and the hair.
@XSilvenX And a very good warm up routine pre show, get the muscle fibers nice warm and blood flowing helps a lot.
one of these days george is going to hit 300 bpm doing one foot blasts and its going to be the craziest shit anyone's seen
Two words: Fuck. Off.
Absolutely incredible, not just the speed but also the precision and consistency; Kolias is quite simply astounding, I can't play drums worth a fuck but just watching this dude makes me remember why there's no point in even trying anyway! Ha!
Adding to favorites........done

ナイル、オリジン、ヘイトエターナル、クリプトプシー等は格好良いですね。デスメタル最高！！
He's played for probably 20+ years.
Teach me, Master !
On the seventh day, God was resting. But he felt like something is missing, so he asked his master; George Kollias what else he can do??? Kollias answered - "make me a drumkit..."
wow... this takes alot of redbull :D btw. awesome drummin' :]
If each hit gave Greece a cent there would be no crisis.
Let me try to follow up on what Wilson told you...basically the trigger is a small device placed on the drum surface that is hooked up to a computer/mixer that produces a sound which is amplified every time the surface is struck.

Typically people choose to have the trigger make a noise that sounds like a real drum, but you can make a trigger play practically any sound...
The speed is amazing however what makes the speed even more impressive is how far the beaters are from the bass drum, it's insane! :-)
My Favorite DRUM yEAH!!!!!
Chain drives, Pants and some insane single pedaling. This guys is a drum teacher in Greece. Fuck i wanna go to greece.
Absolute monster
11 people died of a heart attack and accidentally they touched "don't like this"
This is just a video about his speed abilities. Go watch some more videos of him , he's very creative and interesting.
I think everyone felt the same. When I first got into death metal, I fucking loved the instrumentals but couldn't stand the vocals, but it grows on you after a while, and soon you'll forget about the vocals
