You can see the sheer raw love that Kevin has on his face for this track. How on earth he plays this EXTREMELY DEMANDING TRACK with single strokes is beyond me. Talk about endurance and willpower. \m/
Well the thing with practicing fast drums is it's all about technique, so if you just practice only playing faster you might not be able to go faster at some point with your current technique.
Yup, what grind said.... Balance and technique is EVERYTHING! Practicing all the fundamentals nomatter your experience is very key too. I've been drumming now for 12 years and I'm still working on specific endurance techniques and how to get the most out of as little muscle strain and work possible which is specifically derived from proper balance and form.
Top 5 covers of this song.. but his pain shoes just how calm and how much endurance George rly has... he plays this and shows not one sign of wanting to stop... GK is my favorite drummer he’s too insane
Now this is true 'rocket science' taken to unknown lands.. It is the creativity within that makes this drummer shine.. and the light is intense.. In my 53 years of drumming I have never seen anything on this level of mastery.
Heavy as hell!!! Great cover!!!! Headbang and happy new years congrats and greetings from Argentina end of 2022? Who is watching these on 30/12/22 at 5:05 am from Argentina??? headbang!!!!!
This guy is drumming for us on our upcoming tech death record "Fruit Of The Poisoned Tree". Tremendous excitement to have such a true blasternaut on our side. A play through could be in the cards once the final mix is in.
This 7 years old, still Astonishing playthrough,but don't you think its time for a current Nile one?!?!? You're set-up looks and sounds killer,now.The New playthroughs Fucking Slay!!!♥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
George kollias is a stud. snapping those snare accents during blasts, practically sprinting on doubles for 4 minutes, cymbals work out the ass. Awesome job recreating his style
Wow, one take. The fact it wasn’t super perfect gives it the character I like more than when everything is right on 100% all the time. Maximum respect for this old video.
man... that's the sickest drum cover of anything ever. I don't give a fuck how people say its only just speed and all that shit, Id like to see them do that. every note was perfect then and that bass drum, wow. keep it up brother and stay real!
Kevin I think it's time for a new Nile upload, now that you have the upgraded sound equipment, pedals, cymbals and hardware 😉😉🙏 how about "The Eye Of Ra"?
You and Jan Benkwitz share the only two decent recordings of this song. Good fucking job. I can imagine how much that had to hurt. Just imagine george practicing at that tempo for an hour at a time. ;-)
For those keeping score at home and who might not be in the know, Trick is a manufacturer of percussion equipment. Rejoice0In0Fire is not accusing Kévin of trickery.
Best drum cover of this song on UA-cam Kevin. All one footed blasts and pretty clean throughout. Cheers man, you're an incredible player, this is a tough song to get through (as are most from George). :)
You are a devil drummer love it! Headband! Sauron and Voldemort and Lucifer are proud of you! You drum so strong that Lucifer looks like Justin Bieber Shao Khan is proud too! How did you separate your hands from your arms? Unbeleivable nice drumming pal
WOW. Fuck the negative comments, u are full on beast mode. Playing the blasts with 1 foot ... what death metal band are u in and where can I hear them?
The face you make when you're suffering but metal is life.
hahahaha...exactly what I thought.
You can see the sheer raw love that Kevin has on his face for this track. How on earth he plays this EXTREMELY DEMANDING TRACK with single strokes is beyond me. Talk about endurance and willpower. \m/
And single foot blasts too like Kollias. Respect to the OG!
Georges singles are via swivel pattern/method whereas Kevins is all ankle. Both are incredibly talented musicians.
The amount of discipline and training for this is insane. Great job and respect for anyone who even attempts a Nile cover
For having the balls to cover this song and executing it this well, I salute you sir!
look at his face... so much suffering...
Play with fire.
He will turn to the Fart side of the force eventually
Fart Vader Terribly demanding this song at any level, you´re right.
*can even practice let alone master
This is a very Emperor Palpatine esq. comment. You know, when he's telling Anakin about the power to stop people from dying.
I know the answer is "practice", but I still gotta ask: HOW. IS. THIS. POSSIBLE?
Well the thing with practicing fast drums is it's all about technique, so if you just practice only playing faster you might not be able to go faster at some point with your current technique.

really accurate and clean, one of best drumming i've seen
I agree pal headbang!!!
Top 5 covers of this song.. but his pain shoes just how calm and how much endurance George rly has... he plays this and shows not one sign of wanting to stop... GK is my favorite drummer he’s too insane
GK drumming is unbelievable! But he plays not really interesting stuff. Not like Inferno from behemoth, for example
@@benjaminkottmann7381thank you for mentioning Inferno! He’s so underrated!
And yet another master pulls off this monster of a song.....
your toms clearly aren't high enough.
Lmao I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking this
The shell depths are nuts on this kit. like i think he said it was a 12x12 and 13x13
He was going for the Pete Sandoval kit look
RIP that guy's legs and bass drum head
Now this is true 'rocket science' taken to unknown lands.. It is the creativity within that makes this drummer shine.. and the light is intense.. In my 53 years of drumming I have never seen anything on this level of mastery.
I never noticed, but he plays snare equally well with either hand and switches back and forth depending on what the other hand is doing. Amazing!
Heavy as hell!!! Great cover!!!! Headbang and happy new years congrats and greetings from Argentina end of 2022? Who is watching these on 30/12/22 at 5:05 am from Argentina??? headbang!!!!!
Such a magnificent beard! No wonder he is so talented. x)
well, then George Kollias' soul must have a beard instead or something :D
His beard is actually there, just not for the mortal to see x)
good point sir ;D
***** hairy guts.. Brutal!
sick intro and brutal one foot blasting which result in an absolutely amazing and brutal tech death metal performance. Stay metal
I just got a seizure and my limbs are cramping with crows. Bravo!
God DAMN man, unreal. Such control and energy. And George does a full set of this shit night after night

you, my friend, are a demon on the drums
The more I watch that, the more I adore it. Amazing job, man!!
I think I still watch this video at least once a week. Amazing job, Kevin.
Absolutely best drum cover I have seen recently
i can't tell if watching these makes me want to give up on drumming altogether or go practice until i can't play
dude, serieux javais jamais vu quelqu'un faire un cover de cette tune la, tes vraiment une machine, 2 fois bravo
George Kollias should watch this!
He would block him
@@borknagarpopinga4089 a proud blocker
All these professional drummers are well aware of the other talent out there.
Borknagar Popinga lmao
That was absolutely amazing! Thanks so much for sharing.
George kollias is a stud. snapping those snare accents during blasts, practically sprinting on doubles for 4 minutes, cymbals work out the ass. Awesome job recreating his style
God damn! Nice job! You’re nailing those Kollias parts!
The Best Drum cover so Far for me gj man
Wow, one take. The fact it wasn’t super perfect gives it the character I like more than when everything is right on 100% all the time. Maximum respect for this old video.
you can see that this hurt to play :P
Who writes these fucking drum lines?
@@thebigmoosy9706 George Kollias!
This is George Kollias's way of ensuring a contract with the band; he can't be fired because there's nobody else that would play his drum lines.
man... that's the sickest drum cover of anything ever. I don't give a fuck how people say its only just speed and all that shit, Id like to see them do that. every note was perfect then and that bass drum, wow. keep it up brother and stay real!
my forearms caught fire just watching
My God man, motion blur in real time! amaizing performance!
i love those fills through the whole
song, they go like trrr prrmmm trrr prrm trrr prrrmmm multiple times, its lit
Super!!
Simone ArcOndA Piras Simone!!!!
I fucking love how this dude just goes nuts at 256 bpm
Outstanding footwork - Kollias would be proud!
This drum cover introduced me to Nile. I'm collecting all their albums as we speak haha.
my legs hurt from watching
no suffering... Kevin's a beast!!!! that's concentration
OMG this sounds brilliant! You're amazing!
you are a wizard kevin.
that vibrating heel up strokes!!..most people opt for swivel or heel toe at these tempos..hats off!!..
This is one heck of a good job!! Woah!!
Your control is fantastic. killer cover, keep it up.
How powerful is that beard?
Powerful enough to play a nile song
+Vault Dweller Permitting the Noble Beard to Descend 'til it's on the Ground - Chin cover! :)
+DaveC lol what an awsme title maybe I should compose its song xD
That beard's power level is OVER 9000 (bpm)
if you play it at half of the speed you can see another arm reaching out of the beard here and there, filling up some strokes.
back in 2014, Kevin was only 98% beast.
jesus Christ - perfect drummer. Total great blasts
Awesome cover 👌🏻 I'd be dead on the floor after all of that though 😂 I can't imagine playing a show and having to drum like this for hours
clean well play and fantastic
Great stuff... Thank you for sharing!
I've been watching this video nearly every day! My fav track from Nile and absolutely wicked cover! Cool push&pull technique too. Thumbs up (Y)
Awesome. Master of Masters!!!
that's one hella blast beats right there... good job
i'm a guitarist and I never get sick of blast beats!
Kevin I think it's time for a new Nile upload, now that you have the upgraded sound equipment, pedals, cymbals and hardware 😉😉🙏 how about "The Eye Of Ra"?
Kev, you're a beast
He is the alfa of the Beasts the Beast bwtween the beasts!!!!
Excelente trabajo!!!!!!!!!
Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!
You sir, are amazing.
Very good! Top top top. NILE, albun de 2009, faixa 6. Excellent cover!!!
Studio looks great! Suburb performance as always brother!
It's truly hard..so much respect 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Man, that toms are placed so high that my arms hurt!
Love your covers man! Good song choices.
LOVE THOSE RACK TOMS!!!!! SICK DUDE!!!!!! KILLING IT!!!!!
Bravo Kev. And to think this is one of Kollias' easier songs to learn
Боже, какая классная песня, какой классный ударник, какое классное исполнение, кайф от стука малого барабана
Как у нас раньше говорили, "ведущего" барабана ;)
You and Jan Benkwitz share the only two decent recordings of this song. Good fucking job. I can imagine how much that had to hurt. Just imagine george practicing at that tempo for an hour at a time. ;-)
You killed this! Awesome job, brother!
Absolutely insane drumming Kevin!!!!!😊
Great drumming bro. That is amazing.
How are your limbs still attached to your body, Monster Musician?
this was so good man. excellent work.
WOW! That was really good bro! Keep up the good work!
love to see how you got better with the years
Jesus Christ. This is good. Really shows how badass George is.
Oumphf !! O_O' ... Chapeau Kévin. Une bonne année 2014 pleines de blasts, de toukatouka et pleins d'autres trucs ;)
n'oublions pas les poum tchak!
Wow, insane job dude!
Those pedals look like trick pedals?
Yes !
For those keeping score at home and who might not be in the know, Trick is a manufacturer of percussion equipment. Rejoice0In0Fire is not accusing Kévin of trickery.
glassminimalist Maybe, but I still thinking this is a kind of sorcery. Idk
@@man_in_space HAHAH good one!!
Jorge you absolute beast!
Great work!
Alors là, chapeau !
That's the face I make when I'm about to drop the biggest log.
Sick cover - when you can play as fast as GK you have achieved something in life. :)
It is very inspiring!
Best drum cover of this song on UA-cam Kevin. All one footed blasts and pretty clean throughout. Cheers man, you're an incredible player, this is a tough song to get through (as are most from George). :)
awesome drumming !
Finally an accurate sounding cover haha best Nile cover on UA-cam, and I've seen alot of good ones. Keep it up man.
It's a sport. Well done brother.
Pure badassness. Nothing more
That intro make me remind me piano of Aetheric Existence band of USA!
Insanely great 😍🤘
This man is a machine
Wonderful playing
I haven't touched my drums in 2 months, suddenly I want to practice again.
I can't believe I had to wait 7 years to see this 😭 lol
You are a devil drummer love it! Headband! Sauron and Voldemort and Lucifer are proud of you! You drum so strong that Lucifer looks like Justin Bieber Shao Khan is proud too! How did you separate your hands from your arms? Unbeleivable nice drumming pal
The heel toe method ease the pain lol...but still one of the best drum cover I've heard in a minute
WOW. Fuck the negative comments, u are full on beast mode. Playing the blasts with 1 foot ... what death metal band are u in and where can I hear them?
Svart Crown / Agressor / Mithridatic / Death Lab / The Arisen
Enjoy !
