That snare sound, dude! 😍
exactly ! f'n nice how good that snare cracks
The most impressive part for me is how clean he is when slowing back down. What a great drummer.
I wish more drums sounded like this in metal mixes. So raw and boomy.
Hreodrich I agree that’s what drums really sound like. More music would sound like that if people practiced more instead of using triggers to hid there mistakes.
Malware that’s not how triggers work they add a pre recorded sound for every hit. They eliminate any weak hits or quite hits essentially evening out your volume. This video shows what a truly acoustic bass drum sounds like this takes years of practice on more than speed to pull out all notes evenly.
@@peteEmage the drummer in the video probably does not agree with your take on triggers, he uses them a lot and there are several videos of him on youtube explaining why.
Mike Krebs a trigger is not a microphone it registers the hit and in live play maps the drum parts and some people will use this to add a thud sound or pre recorded perfect drum hit that’s why you see them on snare drums were the player is getting perfect rim shots every hit even if there not playing to the rim. Disclaimer not everyone uses triggers like that some times there mixed very low in so it’s not as notable but in most hardcore metal with blast beats triggers are used to get that perfect artificial sound.
@@peteEmage Not sure why you feel the need to keep explaining what triggers are, I'm a metal/hardcore drummer and I know perfectly well how they work. But you're here commenting on a George Kollias video, a drummer who normally uses triggers for his bass drums and insists they are necessary in death metal (he uses axis longboard pedals where the transducer is built in to the pedal rather than needing to trigger and isolate the drum head itself). If you don't understand why then maybe it's you that doesn't really get how they work, and why a 'raw and boomy' bass drum sound has some serious limits when playing steady 16th notes at 250+ bpm. Don't take my word for it, though, as I said there are several youtube videos of Kollias explaining this himself.
When doing 32nds, it looks like the beaters might hit the top of his foot. Now THAT is power
This Bass Drum sounds like a BOMB!!!!
All you Deathcore drummers out there, meet your REAL daddy
Man... Almost all metal drummers...
Trv 🤣
Heel toe is more their technique because they can’t learn a technique with balls
Yeah I agree you’re right man he’s not just a daddy he’s a figurehead and an idol. I know this cause I’m one of them haha you’re spot on man with that comment 👍👍 thanks
Νοt even mad
4:28 onwards without a click... he's an absolute machine. Incredible.
Awesome George! Thanks to you and Pearl for sharing. Keep the passion 👍🥁😎DC
We're trying to build a pyramid... Thanks Mister Kollias...made my day...
Excellent, excellent tutorial. Well played, well explained, and fun. Time to get to work.
I have the Extreme Metal Drumming DVDs featuring George Kollias and that's how I honed my skills. I practice every day to make sure I keep up with it. Great video!🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘
Great Content Sir! I'm new to the double peds style, this will help me a lot in building my foot work. Thank u so much for this one.. 🤜🏻🤛🏻
This man is the best. Untouchably clean
what a great explanation!
The whole.bus is laughing with me for the " 6 years ".
Love u man !
Skip to 4:45 for the motorcycle sound
The distance his beaters swing at the high tempos is so killer. No one can ever accuse GK of being a tapper that's for sure.
he wasn't kidding when he said repeat for six years ! i am trying to achieve this speed and it is very hard to do but i will get there !
Like George said Good luck man
It took me 12 years to get to 290 bpm.
Awesome class
Best MetalDrumming Teacher out there! George You rule! 👍🏻🤟🔥
This is far harder than building a pyramid ....:)
Naw, I understood it perfectly. :)
@@pokerfacemonks I meant executing it ....
@@littlebear2477 i agree.
Very appropriate analogy when talking about the drummer for Nile. 🤪
Love that Greek accent 🤘🏼 great video as always ☠️☠️💀
Good stuff🤟🏾
Good video,I'll use this tecnique
First, I need to be honest, I only got interested in Nile when I saw George playing, it was a shocking and fascinating surprise to see that monster playing with that stamina, punch and speed, yes, there are lots of fast drummers out there but once you take their triggers out they ate soundless, I meant, their power is given only with the triggers, without them their bass drum is imperceptible.
George doesn't only make you feel those bass drums inside your heart but they are so damn clean and fast that something is hard to believe it.
With that said, seeing him here talking about his technique is amazing, I've been trying to get that speed and believe me, it's really hard to be fast and constant and powerful at the same time.
The snare sounds great
4:48 onwards sounds like a Harley accelerating and decelerating! beautiful!
Almost every drum video on UA-cam...... "that snare tho omg " 😴
I think drummers would choose a well tuned snare over sex
Well who wouldn't?
@@PJyrstinkangas xD
music is far more important than sex my friend.
Nice!
After years of playing and seeing no progress 🤡 I have been practicing this for two months and finally today after a session of three hours the right knee pain is unbearable
But managed to play the chorus fragment of user maat re 💪😎
Don't push yourself too hard, if you have in the right knee, look at the angle of your bass drum. Most people put it straight 90 degrees to the other drums however, that often means your right angle is slightly twisted on the pedal and cause tension on the ligament of your knees. Both feet should lay naturally on the pedal in a triangle from your seat to your toes - see how both of Goerge's pedals are angled the same? Most double-pedal players make the mistake of having one their right foot too straight and their left too open. If you don't have pain in the left (which I assume is your weaker leg) then this will probably take care of it if you aren't doing it this way already. If not, seek a professional help. Do NOT play around!! I know drummers who popped their knees right out taking a squat. This shit can become serious. Stop your practice session right away to stretch out if you feel any sharp pain.
DoubleBass rules!!
love your videos. afaristo ..
Nice shoes!
Amazing exercise.. simple and effective ... Love you George.. Come to Pakistan sometime please..
nice
To develop all his exercises require three months locked up just playing All day long.
I'd love to see him playing with other band.
This guy's first soloist album is really fantastic! Invictus, Treasure of Nemesis, Aeons of Burning Galaxies, The Passage, Wao! Amazing
Mr pearl
I couldn't help but notice when you play the fastest you played healed down. When you played slowly, you played heal up. Is it easier to rip on the double pedal at lightning speed with heel down? I've always played with heel up. Just curious?
He isn't playing heel down, the heel is slightly of the plate. And yes, it's more efficient since the movement is coming from lower leg muscles and not the hip or upper leg muscles. Similar to hand strokes: You don't wanna hit with whole arm but just the wrist in high tempos. Wastes energy and is larger movement. Wanna keep the body movement to a minimum.
BrownBear96 great explanation I se a lot of kids ask this trying to play over 200bpm
He isn’t playing heel down.
Yes i make it first time learning my teatcher drumming show it 1/64 one leg and tehn ohter and then both. Yes its not long play only 20 seconds but first time even not speed missing.
Here's the secret to play fast db--It's all in Your mind.
Boom
No
i think i should start with part one am i right
My anterior talofibular ligament (very top of the foot that connects to
the base of the shin) started burning/pinching pain. If I push on it
with a finger it would burn like it did when I was playing. Now its
starting to hurt even when im not playing (just sitting). Anyone ever
deal with anything like this? If so... any advice? I reallllllly want
to become great. I am practicing 1 to 3 hrs every day for the past six
months.
Seems easy when you have nice talent. Lucky man!
Maluco eh brabro
Master I have practiced for six years as you instructed......😶
What pedal is that ?
Pearl Redline Eliminator
399 at guitar center
yes george... that's hard to do
how hard can it be? I just watch part 1 to 3 but its hard for me to play In The End by Linkin Park to do 4 beats of a single pedal. But second pedal is hard too! Can you help me how you play In The End by Linkin Park with the drum beats in entire song? Please?
You have to start slow and start working on constant 16th notes at a slow tempo with one foot. Then slowly but surely build it up faster. Start trying to play 16th notes with right foot only at 60 bpms with a timer for 5 mins straight. Do 4 sets a day at the end of your practice, so 20 mins a day at the end of your practice. Once you master 60 bpm, move to 65 and start again. And continue. You may be on one tempo for a month but just keep at it. It’s not just you, kick drum is the hardest part of drums imo. Good luck.
@@larrytate1657 thanks dude. I'll start practicing at 60BPM. But I don't have a metronome yet.
Stupid Rona, I’ve been waiting 6 weeks for my new pedals. Direct demon drive. Come on man
Sold my drives and got Tama Dyna syncs
what's a small set.
Do you get bruised toes george? Just askin :)
Nino Catacutan I Hope this question is sarcastic. If this is a problem for you - consider seeing a doctor as it could be a sign of iron deficiency or something worse.
@@ShittyMcPoopyBalls he means the beaters
@@turbine3780 yeah, Because the beaters go all the way to his toes lol
in 6 years,and good luck..hahaha.true
What drum si that?
I have this same exercise on my channel and it has like 1 percent of the views this video has
Yeah reverb branding plus nile branding plus his individual fanbase and also that reverb has links on their website
Oh also idk who you are not to offend but it is a factor
da snare tho
I can only follow until the 16th notes. How do you even count 32nd notes... Βοήθεια
not years 10month singel pedal but doubel petal only 1,5hours. and I can it 20-30 seconds.
Damn... he made the 32nds the loudest part
Me waching the video: "ok im starting right now its not so hard"
Me after 10min of practicing: "ok forget it"
He looks like the seller of a music store you wont take advice from
"And you repeat for 6 years... no I'm kdding" - actually, he ain't kidding

Just the clip of the exercise
Now that's how you play double pedals, with lots of momentum and lots of power on the beater swing 👍👍👍👍 .... Not like those other drummers who only tapping the pedal beaters to the bass drum head 👎👎
And that's it🙄
All these exercises won't lead you any where unless you understand what muscle groups and which motions you need to use. Search Marthyn jovanovic ankle technique on UA-cam. That's the only thing that has helped me understand how to play fast double bass effortlessly in many years.
4:49 Fuk it, I quit....
Yeah. I'll never get there...
Poor George having to play that slow for the recording.
This doesn't work for me
To much talking in this video
Ummmm i dont see a double bass i see double pedals...... fail one
Double bass pedals
Not sure if trying to be funny or not..
