- Hello everyone!
This is a cover version of 'The Inevitable Degradation of Flesh' by Nile.
Needless to say, that I’m a huge George Kollias fan, due to his methods and flexibility.
I think he was one of the drummers who brought me to “Metal”. Since Annihilation of the Wicked I more or less studied his kind of drumming, his set up and his approach to this extreme style of music.
As you can tell it’s a fast one and I had to practice a lot to get back in shape. I really like fast songs, but it’s nothing I would play all day long in my rehearsing room. So once I decided to do this cover, it took me about two weeks to get the required power and endurance to nail some accurate tracks.
Here is the drums-only version:
• Nile - The Inevitable ...
Very special thanks to my buddies Bartol and Reinsn from bazn sounds & records, Sebastian form DreamCatch Audio!!!
I also want to thank Mark from Pedaltrigger and Fabian, Hendrick, Dieter (and everyone who's involved) from Murat Diril Cymbals for always supporting me the best possible way - THANK YOU!

Another special thanks goes out to the local Arts- and Music-School in my hometown (Deutschlandsberg) where I recorded everything. It’s actually the concert hall where I had my first “concerts” as a young student and so it just felt great to come back after more than 15 years. As a kid I never understood how important the environment you’re drumming in is for your wellbeing and of course for your sound. And this big wooden room, whit all it’s warmth just feels and sounds absolutely incredible!
Which leads to the next point:
Except for the bass drum and (not even half) of the snare drum, all the drum sounds are natural and as pure as possible. We spent a lot of time to set everything up! I also switched sticks - from regular 5a to 3a to get more power, but not by necessarily swinging the stick higher or hitting any harder but because of its shape.
For the bass I used a standard sample from the Steven Slate foundry and for the snare I mixed signals (about two thirds natural sound with eq, comp and just a little verb; and one third is again a standard snare from the Steven Slate foundry. I had to pitch the sound of the sample, so it would match my real snare and it’s just for the attack during all the blast beats.)
Furthermore I used
Dixon MBS shells (2x22", 8", 10", 12", 13", 16", 18")
p.d.p. Limited Edition 20ply Snare with Die Cast Hoops (14"x8")
Axis A Longboards
Roland SPD-S for triggering (bass drums)
And Murat Diril Cymbals:
20" t(h)rash crash with 6” renaissance splash on top
18" blast china
14" blast china
20” rock mega bell ride
14" custom arena hi hat
9" mini hats (renaissance splash bottom, luminous splash top)
7" & 8" renaissance splash
17" fast crash
16 speckled crash
18" fast crash
10" stack
18" rock china
19" rock china
22" rock mega bell ride
11" black sea hi hat
12" black sea trash hats
21" custom crash/ride

Who’s here after seeing Diepold on Estapario’s channel?
Diepold is insane 🤟
me! hahaha
Anyone who questions what the point is for playing this type of music: "has no groove", "soulless", "lacks rhythm" etc.
Do yourselves a favor, at least once in your life no matter how young or old, go to a real metal show - not some huge amphitheater, a REAL show in a rundown venue with a couple hundred people - and *experience* the energy. Even if you hate the music, or hate the atmosphere, you will at least understand why this genre appeals to people. This kind of music is not meant for radio play, or streaming on your phone. This type of music is meant to be *experienced* live and in person. The energy is indescribable. It appeals to and unlocks those primal, feral emotions most people keep suppressed in modern society. And the comraderie in the crowd is unique in the music world.
Again, if you truly wonder what the point of this music is, go *feel* it for yourself.
New point on my bucket list :D! Im usually listening to Hip Hop and Psychedelic and progressive rock
I agree 100 percent...
I love this.
A superb comment I agree 100%.
I mean, I'll play it on my phone too. Fuck you. Lol
How self-important does somebody have to be to dislike this video? Holy shit. You killed it, man.
Someone who watches UA-cam as their main source of entertainment and doesn’t want their feed too clogged up with a specific topic.
You missed one note
Shit I thought I'm the only one noticing! Kinda ruins everything >.>
Yeah. I caught it too! It was that one cymbal splash that should have been a splish instead. I could show you how it's done, but.... ummmm.... I don't have the time right now...and ummm....I have to go to work.
Yannick Guitar Where is it?
God only knows...
1:11 to 1:13 His stick got hung up on a cymbal, zero fucks, show must go on :) I'm really pissed off that I can only like this video once.
i dont think I've hit the drums that often in 10 years!
His skill is so good it overshadowed how badass this kit sounds.
the power of samples
@@tfwnoyandere excuse my cluelessness /ignorance . But what do you mean by that ? What are samples ? Like sampled sounds / beats ? Explain if you can please lol .
@@jhojho1679 yes
@@jhojho1679 yeah, not to take anything away from david as he's an insane drummer, but he's absolutely using samples in his recordings. it just helps the recording sound cleaner but doesn't take away from his ability at all. Dude is a beast.
This guy is a total machine. Awesome stuff. The thing that gets me is how he does this with barely any movement. He's is like the drumming version of a ventriloquist.
dude is a human atomic clock
@@fishingfonzi5655 are you familir with Gene Hoglan? Dudes same
That's how you know he's doing it right. Maximum movement with conservative energy. Who's playing mostly with his hands not his arms. If you tried to play this with normal technics, your heart would explode.
This dude has put the time in and has sensational technique and relaxes when he plays. Love watching his playing.
I still go back thru watching his old videos…. But I’d imagine this is just minimizing wasted energy. Yeah he’s a Machine.
Jesus Christ man!
Josh Steffen ...your a bad ass too Josh
Josh steffen this is incredible, professional, creative. ...
no its Ra... ha
I can see it now.
Josh plays George like Lars! 😆
Josh??? the fuck you doing here??
I bought my kid a drum set and showed him this. I'm not sure if I should have done that.he is tripping ball right now
hahaha. that's awesome man. inspiration
buck buster lmao good job
That's great! He's learning quite a tight style, but at least it'll give an advantage of sustenance and precision
good job bro! just keep showing him this so he will stay motivated
show him also a lot of different drummers. i mean this style of drumming is technically top notch no doubt but (this is only my opinion) this kind of music itself is pretty much with little to no real variety and most of the fills and grooves (if they can be called as those) sound mostly the same. in jazz, funk, fusion, progressive metal you find a lot more variety and diversity so that a drummer can be versatile in all those styles.
Why they not showing his incredible foot technique?!
That double bass is cleaner than I've ever been in my entire life and I shower at LEAST twice a week
it's not real, read description
@@Vampire_born_in_2006 He said the sound isn't natural, because his basedrum is triggered. Its impossible to hear Double Bass at that Tempo that loud with normal microphones, but he's still playing every note. Triggers don't make it sound clean when you're untight, they just make sure you can hear what he's doing with his feet at all.
@@Vampire_born_in_2006 its not real 🤣🤣🤣🤣 David is the real deal...
Vampire_born_in_2006 man I ain’t trying to be an ass but read up on triggers. I can assure you homeboy is playing every note.
@@bengedrumming5089 It's fucking 2020. How is 'triggers are cheating' still a fucking debate. My god.
Hi David welcome to planet earth. How is the weather in Jupiter?
Bruno Capelas hahaha lol 😂
Stormy af I guess
🤣🤣
this is one of the best drum covers I've seen...
WICKED WOODS fucking indeed, I was thinking the same
Lol.
You guys ain't seen shit Then..

This guy is a monster!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Absolutely outstanding drumming. Blew me away! Looking forward to checking out the rest of this channel.
I wonder can he play Enter Sandman
Lars cant
Ian Canning lmao
Ian Canning I know i can... bet im better than him, did u see he missed a note?
Ian Canning my cat can play enter garbageman...er...sandman.
hahahahahahaaaaa
After seeing the intro logo, all I can think of now is a bunch of music professors and old folks sitting in this theater watching him play this with very serious and discerning faces.
This guy is definitely a machine. Amazing how fast he did spin the stick at 1:29 haha
0:13 dude…
That ride sound is legendary…
I hate the way that you make this look so easy.
he makes it look TOO easy, like he's at his temp job answering phones in the reception cubicle!
It is easy, just takes practice. If you don't practice enough its gonna be hard obviously.
Nothing about this is easy, he's just that goddamn good.
yeah he as smiling while he was playing to.....DANG!
That's because he mastered one technique I (as a guitarist) and all other musicians seek to attain: letting the music play through you as it's vessel, giving yourself over to it. . .
This is mental. I'm never going to complain about having to play 210bpm again :D
I injured myself just watching this kid. Amazing!
Your drums sound awesome ,toms sounds amazing and the whole kit woah just awesome tone on your drum kit great job man!
mankind could not manufacture a robot that could play faster, more accurate and look so relaxed while doing it. David is incredible.
except George Kollias!!!!
he who wrote the percussion to this song is a genius ( thanx George K)
I think this kid is cleaner than George Kollias, fucking effortless!
Kollias is super overrated imo. He’s such a soft hitter at speed and Diepold’s tone is super consistent throughout.
Which is nothing but normal. Kollias is an early pioneer in speed drumming with speeds up to 280bpm. That's one reason he got famous for almost 2 decades ago, along with other mentionable drummers such as Derek Roddy. But these techniques they precedented have meanwhile been taken up and optiomized to perfection by people like Diepold.
The new generation of drummers have long surpassed their idols, and in another decade they will have been surpassed as well by the next generation.
@@michel4743 very well said, fastest drummer 2 decades ago could play at like 280 but now there are drummers who can play as fast as 360
@@michel4743 Bro Roddy actually is a student of making the snare being heard when playing. MF plays hard as shit for how fast he blasts. Kollias is overrated.
@@noneck9008 You kids keep amazing me with your level of ignorance. BPM has nothing to do with how many notes you can play within a certain interval of time. You can absolutely play faster and produce 1/8 of the hits in this song or you could play to a song with a slower pulse and go absolutely bonkers on the double bass and snare. Why did I even read those comments, honestly?
And that absolute plonker Chase Hart saying Kollias is a soft hitter has probably never even touched a drum kit in his life let alone play one. Swivel is literally the technique that produces the hardest sound at such speeds with heel-toe being the quietest. David's playing heel-down in this video which is loud but not as loud as swivel or heel up. All the deathcore punks crank up their volume on the triggers to sound loud because doubles are incredibly quiet and people are like "Oh wow, so fast and precise". Of course it's precise and noisy when you've handed all your life savings to the sound engineer to fix your mess.
You know, when I listen to some blast beats songs I don't give it all the credits it deserves. When I stop to watch these guys playing I'm like "How the hell can a human do this?!"
Great work dude... impressive left/right dexterity. Cymbal kit sounds great too... that ride bell is proper beastly!
Pff... I can play this until 0:04. Just can't do the rest.
I think i could go to 0:07 lol
I could reproduce this up to about 0:10
... when I play it at 25% speed, that is. Seriously, try listening to this at 50% speed. It's still pretty impressive.
@@ARescueToaster Makes it sound like regular death metal lol.
It's so flawless, it's even sickening.
Thanks for the cover, I've added this to my easy listening playlist.
This is absolutely amazing... much respect from Atlanta my man!!
So good! The technique, omg! I think even someone doesn't enjoy this genre, I think they should be able to appreciate the preciseness of your playing. 👍🏻
I'm also kinda fan of Kollias and damn, dude. This is amazing! I like the tone of your drumkit, and the cymbals are incredible. Also your technique, very clean and precise. I hope you are proud because you should be. Very fucking good.
Sick man! I can't believe I never seen that before, unbelievable speed and consistency! Great work man!
thank you, i've watched this at least 30-40 times... so pleasing to the eyes
That was perfect. George is also a huge inspiration to me as well, but I'm no where near as good as you two. Are you in your own band? I would love to hear some of your own work.
Best sounding snare EVER and the toms are just.....perfect.
You are an x-man. What a technique. It is possible to clearly hear the sound of each drum part, in addition to the incredible speed and precision. Congratulations on the great job. You are on another level.
Great playing, dude! Perfect technique and the real feeling for the drums, cool!
Someone call the Pentagon he needs to be put back in Area 51!
This dude is a wizard. Who would give this a thumbs down?! Masterful, dude. Unreal.
absolutely incredible. your single stroke rolls are stunning.
I love your sound man, sounds so clean but yet with a lot of soul.
Excellent beautiful immortal sublime, amazing.
I love the fact that you totally keep your body and head still while playing! Found it hilarious! Awesome drumming
Great skills! The sound of the kit is also awesome!
The timing is perfect, for sure, one of the best.
You are brave to cover Nile, I salute you 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
blasting with one foot? christ.
How you're supposed to, yes.
Really? It looks nice, but you're not like forced to do it with one foot, I do it with one foot when I got no double pedal. And yeah, peep are like, wow! But I like it with double cause it hits louder the bass imo when you're not using triggers.
Tave Garcia Or you could just set your triggers louder. Volume has nothing to do with it, more clarity.
Yeah, I know, thats not what I meant. I don't have triggers, I was talking when playing in a show or something, depending on the place where I play sometimes they use triggers, so Im not that intro triggers, not that I don't want to, its just a matter of economics, unfortunately, lol.
Shannon lucas does it a lot also ;)
Incredible! I'm am speechless!
I watch it every day. It's great!
the most enjoyable is the big smile on your face!!! easy for you ;)
reminds me of Dirk Verbeuren, always with a big smile while blasting the hell out :)
Congrats, this is great work!
God damn I love your covers
One hell of a cover man. U are amazing man
Dude awesome. An extremely difficult cover well done!
1:02 I love your smile :D Like "Yeaaah here comes the machineeee!!"
this was the satan in him...
Not sure weather to give up playing drums now or just practice harder 🤔
go harder brother! hard work pays off. just play it slower until it comes to you!
Just practice. This type of stuff, musically, isn’t that difficult. It’s just PHYSICALLY very demanding. It’s a straight sprint drumming like that so just get your muscles in working order.
What i recommend practicing after getting speed down is double bass into triplets in and out. do that a couple times and it will burn your legs, but it builds endurance pretty quickly
Stick with Slipknot because this shit is 90% impossible and hard on the body to even attempt 1 min of
Amazing man. Very strong and precise. And VERY WELL PLAYED
I am 100% stupefied that this is even humanly possible. You're effing amazing bro!
I think there is a place in there I could totally cover. The intro with the hihat.. im all dope on that
and he could still throw a smile in between rolls. *slow clap*
this video proves once more that George Kollias has succeeded in inspiring drummers all around. Keep up the good work man!
Absolutely Amazing
I didn't know voldemort played drums
Kidding, you're amazing.
Good Gaawd that was smoother than a gravy sandwich 😳
That single foot blast man fukin kills me🤘
Love the song love this drum cover amazing work
This kind of drumming is not my cup of tea but I can appreciate this guys pure technical skill. Crazy
Whats your tea?
DAMN!!!!! You're killer man! \m/
Amazing drum cover! As a fan of Nile, a drummer and youtuber, it is one of the nicest I've ever seen.
First time hearing of you, this is top notch. Badass.
Só esse ano já ouvi esse vídeos mais de 1000 vezes acredito.
How many notes does this music have? A million?
Mariana Perreira
Give or take 100k
technical death is a very very hard type of music to remember all the notes.
Even of you look at a tab you are still technicaly reading music.. Reading sheet music has nothing to do with love for the music. I can't read sheet music, many of my musicaly educated friends can, but there is no difference between us.
Narednik Lobanja
Most Technical death isn't hard to remember, a lot of them have the same generic patterns, fills and speeds. And you don't remember tech death drumming note by note. You remember it by parts and structure
FutileExistence while that is true, i think that the point of the comment was that the music had like a milion notes, not the drums. I do agree with you on the patterns, but have you tried to listen to Brain Drill? Try remembering something like that.
I saw Nile open for Morbid Angel right around 1998. Killer show! I went and bought my double pedal the next day!
Amazing video, sick song choice and even better drumming!!!
Is it weird the biggest thing I'm wondering is how he got to record in that room?? Oh, never mind. Just scrolled up and read the description. There's a lot of info in there! Nice ^_^
I love that you had played a Nile song with a Dredg t-shirt XD
Awesome cover dude, so tight and your hand technique is great
absolutely incredible
That spin at 1:27 though...
If he loses his hands he has a promising tap dancing career ahead of him...
Fast and pretty amazing and just great!!
The precision and the concentration. Makes it look so easy
This drumming sounds as powerful as a helicopter in battle
That bell is an audible climax
I could watch this over & over
I think i'm going to die from too much awesomeness that i hear!!!
Now do "Aeons Of Burning Galaxies" or "Shall Rise Shall Be Dead" !!
Its sad how amazing kollias is but he always uses the same fills. He could sound a lot better if he made more unique fills.
+blackhatch46 It all sounds the same at this speed really. When it comes to single stroke fills that is.
+ransisua
Yet Jamie Saint Merat is able to pull them off, that dude is crazy. Also I recommend you all to check out Kollias's work without Nile
Its just his style, its not that he cant do different variations, but those single stroke rolls from the snare to toms take incredible endurance as its across the majority of the drums and even for me, thats what I love in brutal metal
blackhatch46 You try finding a more "unique" sounding fill, whilst playing at 600,000bpm
Simon Mitchell hahaha 600 k bpm lol shit is so fast !!!
Just saw Nile the other week, very impressed.
Wow, what an incredible job!
really cool but i just asked you to play "come together"
In oceans of notes, grooves present themselves to those who listen with their minds wide open. Steve Vai knows it, Gene Hoglan knows it...David Diepold knows it.
I love the mirrored surface on the resonant bass drum heads. Also he is insane of course...
OH MY METAL GOD!!!! Amazing drum sounds!!!! OMMG...
Had to come here to watch after my gf tried arguing rap requires more talent
As a fan of both rap and metal (but not them both together) that's really an apples to oranges kind of comparison.
Dump her, she dumb.
There's a top tier for everything. The top tier for whatever it is takes immense skill no matter what.
If someone spends 16 hours a day playing drums, and another person spends 16 hours a day writing rap lyrics and rapping, they're both going to reach top tier skill within whatever they're doing.
To be the best rapper in the world, and the best drummer in the world takes the same amount of dedication and time.
Unless you're talking about something more obscure, like fencing. The best fencer in the world may not have to work as hard as 16 hours a day to become the top tier best fencer in the world because there's less people to compete against.
Random thoughts.
Please point me in the direction of a rap artist that shows as much skill in his respective art as this drummer. Between the stamina, memorization, and maintaining a beat, I think players like this are objectively more talented than anyone who "rhymes" about bitches, money, gangs, partying, and drugs. You can like that genre, but it's a different culture that doesnt reward technical skill.
Dalton K show her Archspire
This machine really looks like a human!!! Bionics these days!!!!!!
Brutal!!!!!!! Excelente.... espero algún día tocar batería como tu. Saludos
Even George would be proud! Nice work my friend!
