- Hey everyone,
This is a quick video i did a few months ago, this is "Those Whom The Gods Detest" but drums only. We used 7 cameras on this one just as a part of the pre-production of my new DVD. Things are so much improved now so new videos look a lot better!
Hope you like it!
cheers!!
I honestly dont know how a drummer can be as tight as George. Everything he does just falls into place so perfectly! Incredible
Even if I wanted to hate on this video I would not know what to talk about. Awesome sound, awesome drumming, phenomenal timing, yet emotional in a certain way and very inspiring for young musicians. We live in a good world (or at least it could be worse) - people like george are able to earn their bread by doing this kind of awesome stuff. :D
This song in general kicks MAJOR ass. But as a drum-only track, it really enables you to open your ears and eyes and totally appreciate what is going on 110%. And therefore be totally blown away all over again.
Utterly phenomenal stuff, as expected from the mighty Kollias.
In this genre, you really need to hear the product of the whole band to get the effect. I definitely agree that the separate parts sound similar, it's what they all do together that makes them so unique.
Totally disagree. Kollias kills it all by himself.
how can someone do not like this video ??
He just never ceases to amaze. Just when you thought he had done it all....he does it again, only faster and cleaner.
So clean and consistent, even at some of the highest tempos... George Kollias never fails to please. One of the best drummers out there in my opinion \m/
the brain is a powerfull and creative piece of human matter, instructions not inculded, live n learn, love and create
I NEED THIS NEW DVD :)
I syncronised up TWTGD with this drum video...it was awesome :D
6 and a half minutes of pure speed and compositional prowess that my mind can barely comprehend. Awesome!
I started using the technique of his left hand a while ago. At first you face a fuckload of problems but once you get it it just feels amazing, you can release so much power it´s incredible
Simply the best!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome i am dying for the new Dvd release!!! would love to have another poster sighed !!! cheers George !! and hail the drum kit !!!!
Incredible
whoaa... excellent precision!
LOVE your videos. you know exactly what angles are most interesting at all times :)
just amazing!!! keep on GK!!!
When God said let drummers go and get you gift in the water, George was already dry and giving a full tour! LOL You are the beast!
So good.
Fuck man..unstoppable beast. George is the king of DM drummers. He's legit when it comes to speed, power and no double strokes. I don't think many people can match this shit.
you know this proves that he is from our planet :P
Man, those single foot blasts are just insane. I usually do single foot as well..but nowhere NNEEAARR that level!! Blows my mind every time I see you do those! haha
es un maestro!!!! una maquina
perfect. kollias play this slower than other projects but he did masterpiece.
you opening my vision. thanks.
George why you have to be so perfect playing the drums? :P envy you :P.
Cheers from Mexico! i love you style! :D
kicking ass on those drums as u always do. hellyeah
I fucking love the drums on this song. It forces instant air drumming every time I play it, or the rest of the album for that matter.
FINALLY!
i've been waiting for a video from something off this album for wayyyy too long
post khem khefa next please
Very Cooll AMAZING DRUMMER!
That pause at 6.22 is really classy...I love it..it just help the next blast to punch you in the face....I also love to use pauses when I play to emphasise a particular moment in the song.
Amazing as always :)
kit sounds great
i dont understand why everyone thumbsed it down im just joking around this dude is fucking amazing
I seriously looks like its sped up, George is amazing!
Blasting, hope the new DVD comes out soon!!! I need a legal copy!!! :-)
and that kids, is what professional drumming sounds like.
Ok, this too short !!! I want a whole week ! Not 6 minutes. :D It`s always a delight to see new stuff from Mr. Kollias.
Oh wow! You're incredible, man...
George,one name, a guarantee\m/:-)!
this guy is a God! holy shit look at that technique!
legend
I love the tone he gets out of that Pearl kit. How does he play just the single kick that fast? I know, it's the high-top sneakers!
A little over 2 decades. I kept doubting myself, and this time I actually looked it up.
These Jordans are the secret of his velocity
George Kollias aka Captain insano drums lol , awsome video
I love that tom sound...
No words for that... just AMAZING!
How can you play with basketball like shoes?
what do you use mic in bass drum? And how tight do you keep your bass drums resonance head?
@RedOnChrome In my experience, the reason most death drummers use 16th note and 16th note triplet fills is because that is what the guitars are doing, and it goes with the overall feel of the song. Unless you get into the techy stuff, most death metal is based around 16th notes and 16th note triplets. It's all about the flow of the song and what fits it best.
the only thing that can beat him in drums is a cross between an octopus and a minigun! love this guy!
You are inspirational
if you are referring to George he is using his signature stick with vic firth. go check it out , it's name is GKS
Hey! Can anyone recommend me some good pedals to play a heel toe technique as fast (if i can someday) as him?? I've thought maybe to look for some axis pedals or maybe the dw 5000ads. I really need a long footboard.
that kit sounds fucking awesome
Any experienced metal drummers out there that can help me? Ive been playing with a double kick pedal for a few years now, but Im thinking about switching to 2 single kick drums instead. So im wondering if there is difference in the feeling. Will i have to adapt to a whole new technique for speed, or is it quite similar??
I have family in Athens that I would like to visit over the summer. Hopefully you will have a show going on at that time. Hows the Mastura out there?
@FurbyParade226 Question is if you can truly call the ankle swirl technique he uses heel up.
shortest 6 minutes of my day
The second drum god of extreme metal drumming in history (after Sandoval) to make one of these epic slow drum part songs, like God of Emptiness in a way. All imo of course. This is much more epic though!
I could ''hear'' the song all the way through ^^
απίστευτος!!!! :)
the sticks float in his hands. just metaphysically this guys dif hehe
MASTER
@baronofhell08 Oh my god! :O
I don't know what's more incredible, the fact that he is human...or the fact that he kept on playing like nothing had happened anyway?? :O
I didn't even notice that mistake while listening man...
@FurbyParade226 Heel-toe would require you to lift your heel too. Lifting your leg and slamming your heel in along with the rest of the leg is still heel-up as well. And while, yes, he does lift his heel, the secret to his speed is the ankle rotation, not his heel going up. I'd argue that his technique is not THAT much different from heel toe.
What pedals are those. Dominators or black Axis pedals?
I just now showed my dad this and he's like "Where's the fucking power at? Like John Bonham." I tried to explain to him that with drummers of this style it's more about how you use your hands and feet, more broken down, more technique oriented, less is more kind of a thing. Basically that's what I've gathered out of tons of video of my favorite drummers. I just thought it was an interesting conversation and gave my take on the generation gap/evolution of style. Accurate statement, drummers?
It’s funny he says that because George has some of the most power the tech death drumming world has ever seen lol… this is a comment from when I was still in second grade, but if it still holds up, tell him that high speed equals less velocity capacity, as in it’s impossible to do these speeds while hitting as hard as John Bonham does at low 100s because high speed means some velocity has to be sacrificed
So I watched this and came...then I proceeded to watch the rest of the remaining 6 minutes and came many more times
insane, holy fuck!!! amazing
Quisiera saber en donde quedó la técnica.
how thick sticks are you useing
I'd be more of a PAISTE user if I played drums, but that hi-hat sounds really good.
Someone knows what it is ?
4:10 that's sick man
i came here to say that too after listening to the song...thats not normal..
not really
@@edwincorrea6987 so I'm guessing you can play this perfectly right?
@@icedbirth8821 fallacious argument, so because I'm not a chef, I can't tell if the food is good or bad?
@@edwincorrea6987 either way you wanna put it I bet you wish you could drum like that bro 🍻
🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@olliemedsy, I see you have the same problem as me. Try playing it in slow-motion if you have that option available. I hope you won't experience any more technical difficulties in the future.
Are those some sort of ankle weights or just really funky shoes ? I can play as fast with both feet what George can do with only 1.
I'm listening this together with the Song Baby... It's very nice xDDD
I love his Swivel!!! GODDAMN!
What cymbal is he playing on around 6:13?
Gk practices funk too, lol, it's not all about being fast, it's something I need cause the crowd loves it.
IT'S A MACHINE
I'm not pointing to any mistike man. He is George Kollias (he would never have a mistake XD) and one of my favorite drummers. Also, by the way, Death Metal is one of my favorite genres in music. I listen to bands like this, Nile, others like JFAC, Black Dahlia, Spawn Of Possession, Beyond Creation, Gorod, etc. and they all blow me away! Blastbeats, fills, and double bass in 200bmp or higher can't be played by anyone. And yes, I can't play this yet. I still need lots of practice to achieve this..
those blastbeats just sounds unhuman...
can anyone explain to me what left hand technique he is using???
@6Shawn6Crahan6 Sounds great on his latest Pearl kit without triggers.
this is much more beautiful than the beauty of birth
@centuian Being a Lars Ulrich fan maybe? Or even worse, Travis' one?
it can be in slow motion?
@420protoman
hey GK when is the new Nile album coming out... i can't wait any longer or i'm going to implode lol
Gods don't make mistakes, he just wanted to teach us what a "mistake" looks like ;)
I have a question you edit this video and u put it in fast motion orrrr wtf???????? ;p
@DeusUniversa10 I guess its a mix between Moeller and perhaps the Hybrid technique which Hannes Grossmann explains in a youtube video,but every drummer have their own technique that works best for them
What's the pedals brand?
5:14 Can anyone count how many times does he play that fill?
How would their sheet music look like?
\m/ damn right geezer :D
made it at 2x speed and it's still realistic
i believe in god now he create this guy in a second
HE IS HUMAN!!!! HIS RIGHT STICK HIT UNDER THE HOOP OF HIS 12" TOM DURING THE DRUM FILL AT 3:51 !!!!
