Release of the "10 years challenge" drum cover is postponed to a tbc date (hopefully within in march/april ) due to drums brand change. We are waiting for the new drumkit to be delivered. Apologise for the delay 😉 Gee
i love the casual stick flips and spins while he's playing this fucking ridiculous song, like "oh yeah this isn't a big deal" while he drums faster than i can think
Daniel DiPilla if you guys had any drumming knowledge you'd be aware that it's actually just a simple groove at a medium at most tempo with very basic drum fills, educate yourselves
MovieCritics I think the Bass Drum is the hardest part in that song... everything else is just fucking practice. And more practice to kill this like he does.
Rinku The Hero of Lewdness it's honestly not that hard. I am 13 and can go for 30 minutes of serious hardcore practice straight. It just takes practice and concentration.

+fafafagat Lmao! I've been leaning the mayonnaise for over 10 years now, I can almost do this song, some of the mayonnaise fills are too fast though xD
I saw your drum cover. I saw your reaction to Junna's drum cover and you said that most of the drummers don' t smile, look tense and stressed when they cover this song. YOU LOOK TENSE AND STRESSED AND BARELY SMILE. I can't wait for your 10 years challenge, it's gonna be a blast!!!
+Zach Miner It's very simple. It takes an experienced drummer to do it, because you have to build that speed over time, but once you have the speed, that's it.
I've watched this video over and over for years on end and can never get enough of it. I love your style, your work, your wit, Gee. Please don't ever stop.
ManUtd18 personally think the Rev is over acclaimed. None of the A7X songs he played in were as intense as this song. I don't doubt he was a good drummer, but as morbid as this sounds, if he'd been alive to play more I might have agreed.
MazinPaolo because metal like this is all muscle memory, i’m a metal drummer myself but it really is an easy genre to play, it’s all physical, depending on exactly what kind of metal you’re playing.
WillBurhans it’s muscle memory and endurance and syncopation, and there’s also progressive metal which is crazy time signatures and whatever. I think metal can be pretty easy but it can also get really hard
Cheese is Jar when i said depending on what kind of metal you’re playing, i was referencing progressive metal, if you’re into that stuff, check out sentinels dude. stuff like through the fire in the flames is pretty damn easy for anyone that’s been just playing drums with a double bass pedal for at least 9 months.
Holy technique meets timing clinic... oooooof everything about this. From heel toe to his para-diddles all so insanely clean... great form. Will watch this on days needing practice on anything and everything lol
The thing I love most about Gee is the that he doesn't use triggers, he actually plays full speed and full force through entire concerts like a fucking boss.
wow, when I watch this video in 2012, I was surprised by the talent you have, without a doubt I want to see how you do it 10 years later, greetings from Mexico 🤘🖤
UA-cam Recommendation: 2011- nah 2012-maybe more 2 years 2013- ah 2014- I don't think so 2015- it's getting a little bit close 2016- practice more pffff 2017- oh my lord 2018- it's CLOSE 2019- maybe 1 year more😉 2020- OH YEAH🎉
saw dragonforce last night, it's so weird seeing gee up there playing and then looking back to this video 😂😂 he's changed alot. one of the nicest dudes I've ever met though ha
It's actually remarkable in hindsight how far this took Gee. You can kinda tell by the fact that the kit has UFIP, Paiste, and Zildjian cymbals and how worn the heads and ride are that he hadn't yet been sponsored, let alone asked to be in the band lol
Im a drumer for almost 10 years and when i look at you i think "why didnt i put more attention on music?" You just make me want to beat the drums, thank you!
Non riesco a smettere di guardare questo video. Gee, hai uno stile che mi piace un sacco. Velocità, potenza, musicalità e precisione. ...e questo oltre 10 anni fa. Adesso sei un portento.
Epic win?!? I cannot find words! This man rips thorugh a triggered and quantisized Track and looks like bored to death! Sir, take my like! Abso-fucking-lutly awesome work!!!!
Release of the "10 years challenge" drum cover is postponed to a tbc date (hopefully within in march/april ) due to drums brand change. We are waiting for the new drumkit to be delivered. Apologise for the delay 😉
Gee
No problem
Can't wait till the new cover comes out, gonna be dope
what drum brand are you changing to
No worries Gee, it’s worthy to wait~🤜🏼🤛🏼
No problem , eagerly waiting for a new cover
The Epic Win is that he got fucking hired by DragonForce.
xD yeah
Buffalo Wiings lol
Buffalo Wiings What happened to the original drummer?
Huh, I think that is win for all of them - both for Drawgonfocve and Gee
Fuck yeah
Zlatan said fuck it and joined Dragonforce.
He left psg and signed with dragonforce .. lol!!
Miricx LMAO
Damn Big Smoke you're everywhere.
Miricx Yes indeed

Are you ready? :)
Hell yeah!
OOWWW YEAAHH
YEAH!!!!
Actually just found this while reading comments cant wait for next year and for corona to end :D
Fuck yes
i love the casual stick flips and spins while he's playing this fucking ridiculous song, like "oh yeah this isn't a big deal" while he drums faster than i can think
Some people are just good and then there's us.
Daniel DiPilla if you guys had any drumming knowledge you'd be aware that it's actually just a simple groove at a medium at most tempo with very basic drum fills, educate yourselves
Daniel DiPilla Tbh it's not that hard of a song really. He absolutely kills it but it's not a ridiculously hard song
MovieCritics I think the Bass Drum is the hardest part in that song... everything else is just fucking practice. And more practice to kill this like he does.
LoL he joined the dragonforce 😂
I understand why Dragon Force hired you to be the drummer. Keep rockin brother.
Does a killer drum cover of Dragonforce, joins them 2 years later. What a guy O.o
it is nice too Things like this to happen, right??
@@m.iqbal_akbar hell yes!
Was he actually hired because of the video? Is there any confirmation of that from the band?
From youtube sensation to being the drummer of DragonForce. How awesome is that?!!! :D
Yeaah
I didn't know Ibrahimovic could play the drums.
+Nazgull123 he could play Taekwondo al well... :D
+Nazgull123 I was gonna say more like Sully Erna. (Godsmack) Spitting image.
Kayla Erickson I have to agree ! Damn
It's Zlatan!
LMAO
I don't even understand how people can have the stamina to do this...
Rinku The Hero of Lewdness practice, practice and meth, loads of meth
Rinku The Hero of Lewdness it's honestly not that hard. I am 13 and can go for 30 minutes of serious hardcore practice straight. It just takes practice and concentration.
two words. Asian injection.
it's really all in the wrists. its not that hard, I mean, I'm only 16, and I can drum close to this speed, this long.
Skyward Bound same 😂
This guy = Master Drummer
Me = Beating on trashcans with chopsticks
***** He is the new drummer of the Dragonforce !!!!!!!!!!!!!
luiz gustavo is a great drummer, now in a great band!
luiz gustavo
Did the old one died from exhaustion?
And me
*Playing it on his guitar hero set cause he's too poor to buy a real set*
Oh trust me, I feel it haha

Gee Anzalone
No USA leg of the tour this year, eh? :'(
I went to the Barcelona's one. Fucking amazing. Hope you make a show where the principal band is DragonForce! I NEED MOREEEEEEEEE.
Oh yeah, music is my drugs.
I know who he is, but not personally. Just a fan!
Calling your own work an epic win = nigga you dumb
I'm surprised those sticks didn't go through fire and flames o.o
***** Well it's faster than let's say "Skyfall" xD
potitishogun2961997 hahaha nice
NOT MY FUCKING TEMPO
where did I hear that ?
Whiplash
ARE YOU RUSHING OR DRAGGING
*hurls chair at his head
BULLSHIT! FUCK YOU!
There is a special place in Valhalla for people who can drum cover 'TTFAF - Dragonforce'.
How about guitar?
If you can play it on any valid instrument than instant Valhalla admission.
+fafafagat Is mayonnaise an instrument?
Daz Franklin If its slapped in the right way ;)
+fafafagat Lmao! I've been leaning the mayonnaise for over 10 years now, I can almost do this song, some of the mayonnaise fills are too fast though xD
I've seen this video a few years ago and I was like "he should be the new drummer of DF" And now he actually is their drummer. Amazing dude!
I like that stick flip at 1:40
I like the part from 0:00 - 7:32
Pharao Ramses II. Well, I like 0:00 - 7:33 even more :D
I like the part where he hits the drums with the sticks :)
Kaden Covers 1:39
You meant 1:39
I saw your drum cover.
I saw your reaction to Junna's drum cover and you said that most of the drummers don' t smile, look tense and stressed when they cover this song.
YOU LOOK TENSE AND STRESSED AND BARELY SMILE.
I can't wait for your 10 years challenge, it's gonna be a blast!!!
I have huge respect for all drummers. Especially this guy.
JellyBOMB seriously that shit is haaaaaaard
He isn't even phased by how difficult and draining this is, his limbs say Dragonforce but his face says AC/DC! :o
it's not that difficult as you think. Parts is very simple. you can play like this after 1,5-3 years of practice
+Zach Miner it's not too difficult. Just a typical thrash beat throughout most of it.
+Zach Miner It's very simple. It takes an experienced drummer to do it, because you have to build that speed over time, but once you have the speed, that's it.
Zach Miner..
+dragon61rider not really
I've watched this video over and over for years on end and can never get enough of it. I love your style, your work, your wit, Gee. Please don't ever stop.
there's like an entire fucking world of people out there that have freak talent. This guy isn't one of them. This guy is a drumming GOD
Tony Montana he actually play drums for DragonForce now
He is? Damn that is really cool!
D Carlo you clearly haven't seen the Rev
ManUtd18 as in A7X rev?
ManUtd18 personally think the Rev is over acclaimed. None of the A7X songs he played in were as intense as this song. I don't doubt he was a good drummer, but as morbid as this sounds, if he'd been alive to play more I might have agreed.
1:38
+10 Style points
valcron1000 nice to my eyes, but is way easy, just keep trying it a day and u get it, trust me
Super awesome.
Metal drummers usually don't get the spotlight they deserve
MazinPaolo what about Chris Adler or Dave lombardo
MazinPaolo because metal like this is all muscle memory, i’m a metal drummer myself but it really is an easy genre to play, it’s all physical, depending on exactly what kind of metal you’re playing.
WillBurhans it’s muscle memory and endurance and syncopation, and there’s also progressive metal which is crazy time signatures and whatever. I think metal can be pretty easy but it can also get really hard

WillBurhans if it is so easy where your spot on cover of it then?
Dreams do come true. This guy proved it!
Damn ,those cymbals sounds AMAZING!
Wilton Friberg my favorite brand is Zildjian. What's yours?
David McAninch paiste
UFIP. Italian cymbals
Perfect!
was this sort of like his "audition tape" to get into the band?
Idk but it worked
Jack Crawford Dragonforce actually knew him pretty well as a friend and then when the old drummer quit they hired this guy since they knew him
Jack Crawford better than you
Nickvento wtf are you talking about your comment is irrelevant. He's not hating lol.
@@Nickvento you capacity for comprehension must be really low.
In other words you're a dumb ass.
I saw a video of dragonforce live and thought, I swear that's the drummer I watched do a drum cover, and it's you! Madness!
Holy technique meets timing clinic... oooooof everything about this. From heel toe to his para-diddles all so insanely clean... great form. Will watch this on days needing practice on anything and everything lol
The thing I love most about Gee is the that he doesn't use triggers, he actually plays full speed and full force through entire concerts like a fucking boss.
2011 = DF Covers
2014 = Official DF Drummer
Congratulations dude!
Man, music is so amazing.
Freaking beast. Tbis song never gets old. Especially to see people play it on different instruments.
Gee Anzalone is a great Drummer! 👍 With heart and soul on his drum. 🤘😃
Pretty cool that he covered this song in 2011 and joined the band 3 years later.
2
Even though I really don't find this type of drumming entertaining, it does take an immense amount of skill and practice. Very nice job, bro.
It just looks effortless. Incredible!
i love this set up like yes that ride is so perfect
Omg i caught one of his drum sticks in a concert they did here in switzerland about 3-4 months ago 😲😲
I can do this too.. with my fingers.. on my desk :\
Frank Toldt i know the feeling bruh
Frank Toldt i think u can't even do that w fingers lol
Or Barry I can try..
If you play osu, its pretty easy :P
Frank Toldt me too in my dreams
I’ve watched a lot of these covers and this is by far my favourite 👍🏻
My god. You are a great drummer. You have such quick feet. Keep it up dude YOU SHRED!!!!
This video was made the day I was born and I still love DragonForce
Nice stamina dude
Thank you for this video Gee, it has done more than you know!
You really make this look effortless, congratulations on your hard work and dedication
Perfect
I thought it was Mike Portnoy in the thumbnail.
LOL
This is making me sleepy. I never go to sleep by music unless I can sense effort, love and support went into the music.
Possibly the best drummer I've ever seen how does he make it look so smooth 😱
2:56 Absolute legend
The real epic win is at 1:37.
the real epic win is that he is their drummer now.
Ikr. So smooth
He still does it live
It is now my life goal to play this on the drums like this guy, while my friend plays guitar.
Congratulations! Flawless drumming, indeed.
well played that was insane
To think this cover got him the job as DragonForces drummer. Impressive
You are one of the best , in the world , on drums . Respect .
Amazing skill and the drums sound great
He’s a really nice guy. Makes some damn good spaghetti, too! Hey Gee!
he’s playing this so casually which is just making me feel so untalented
Its okay, fbi
Well he's Dragonforce's drummer now
Look at JUNNAs cover of the song.... she plays like its nothing
Rock is not casual. JUNNA JUNNA JUNNA
wow, when I watch this video in 2012, I was surprised by the talent you have, without a doubt I want to see how you do it 10 years later, greetings from Mexico 🤘🖤
Mastering this song on the drums is on my bucket list.
and now you are the drummer of dragonforce ^^
Other drummers: plays through the fire and flames
Dragonforce:......
Gee Anzalone: plays through the fire and flames:
Dragonforce: he is the one
You look young in this video than now gee!! I'm so exited for your cover of ttfaf on march 2021!! I can't wait to watch it.
That is an insane sound that you got from your cymbals ! Congrats. As Count Dooku would say. You played gallantly
UA-cam Recommendation:
2011- nah
2012-maybe more 2 years
2013- ah
2014- I don't think so
2015- it's getting a little bit close
2016- practice more pffff
2017- oh my lord
2018- it's CLOSE
2019- maybe 1 year more😉
2020- OH YEAH🎉
That's perfect mate 👍🏼
Great cover man. Loved the sound quality, loved the split screen. You earned yourself a sub.
saw dragonforce last night, it's so weird seeing gee up there playing and then looking back to this video 😂😂 he's changed alot. one of the nicest dudes I've ever met though ha
It's actually remarkable in hindsight how far this took Gee. You can kinda tell by the fact that the kit has UFIP, Paiste, and Zildjian cymbals and how worn the heads and ride are that he hadn't yet been sponsored, let alone asked to be in the band lol
that moment when your floor tom is darker sounding than your bass drum
This guy is playing Through the fire and flames with a set of Total 90's... YOU'RE THE MAN!!!
Im a drumer for almost 10 years and when i look at you i think "why didnt i put more attention on music?" You just make me want to beat the drums, thank you!
I will ACOMPLISH THIS SONG WHATEVER IT WILL TAKE !!!!!
did you?
1:38 awesome
Non riesco a smettere di guardare questo video.
Gee, hai uno stile che mi piace un sacco.
Velocità, potenza, musicalità e precisione.
...e questo oltre 10 anni fa.
Adesso sei un portento.
Haven’t seen this in 3 years. Still awesome as the last time. 😄
the fact the he looks so relaxed while doing it and im like AGH YES GOALS I DID IT FOR 4 SECONDS
Me: Meh, hold my beer. *sprains ankle from sitting down on the chair*
One of the best to ever do it! Awesome brother! 🤘
He looks so relax while playing..awesome skill..
His legs survived the fire and the flames
I choose you are the greatest drum cover better than the kid playing guitar hero.You the man bro
Imagine keeping up this kind of speed for an entire concert, holy hell.
Amazing !!!! Congratulations !!!!
6:26 The part I can play
QUEM DIRIA Q IA AE TORNAR O NOVO BATERISTA DO DRAGONFORCE
I'm here just to see how you cover this on 2011 vs Soon in march 2021. That's so lovely and brilliant 🖤🎉🍻
Awesome Drum Cover, Keep Up The Great Work, Rock On!
Fili, is that you?! hahaha
Great job man! You are a beast!!

Sir, take my like! Abso-fucking-lutly awesome work!!!!

This dude was getting it !! Mad respect
That moment when you realize people desliked a drum cover of the Dragonforce's drummer
SO F*CKING AWESOME DUDE!!!!
Hats off brother......
Awesome drumming....
😍
Great job. I love how he is so bored, he tosses the stick for good measure.
