I really enjoy how you analyze these drummers and how you explain their way of playing. Next time could you react to Brooks Wackerman, i find him very interesting with the way he uses dynamics and variations
Most definitely this!!! ua-cam.com/video/xKiiVpSfToM/v-deo.html Thank you sir!
Try Aquile’s Midas Fate.
A review from Sean Reinert would be great. ua-cam.com/video/3FO7CLtlPyY/v-deo.html
I listen and saw a lot of ghost notes, impressive technique, double bass and fills that could be interesting.
Thanks for the insight. John Longstreth from Origin, "Staring From The Abyss" (Sick Drummer Mag), would be interesting. He has an unique style through all the blasting. ua-cam.com/video/Ijrnrm4nXuw/v-deo.html
haha, even Marthyn has a huge smile when the foot cam is on, he is like "what a beast, i love him"
haha...true :-) what a beast on drums!
Haha that smile and shaking of the head when you watch George ripping double bass. It's a similar gesture most people share when they watch him ripping double bass.
Haha true
it's almost incredulity. like, gtfoh that shouldn't be.
How George plays:
1: Robot Arms
2: Robot Legs
3: By being a super bloody nice bloke
I once attended George's drum clinic, what this little guy can do is just unreal! And such a nice guy we had some drinks after he was done playing :)
I really enjoy those react videos, I can learn more about my favorite drummers.
You must be a giant to call George small 😉
MGTOW Lite "little guy" because shorter than me (a little bit, but still) and he is a skinny guy but the amount of power he puts into his playing is incredible. I wouldn't except a guy like him to play as he does ;)
Tomas Haake from Meshuggah - Clockworks playthrough. ^_^
Yes please
Why not Bleed?
Do this!
@@shallowlord Clockworks would be the better song for analyzing, as it has more variety in it's drum parts and polymetric structure. Plus Bleed is literally just double kick the entire song :P
Well, Bleed would always be a great choice, but in my opinion Clockworks just has a more interesting structure.
That smile when you are totally enjoying George's playing hahahaha that was a precious moment!
YESSSS!!! I WAS WAITING FOR THISSSSSSSSSS!!! George is one of my top drummers and I had pleasure of interviewing him years ago and also having him play on my album. I also got to see him perform from 5 feet in front of me and his technique is incredible and so is his speed and precision. And yes I remember him talking about his high spring tension.
Hyped on Kollias.... but not on the audio quality
same here
So muddy. You can hear the mic bottoming out.
Jaime Saint Merat of Ulcerate
He's in a league of his own
Jamie is a Beast - best drummer from NZ - and a top bloke.
George kollias got me into extreme metal. Never looked back. Thanks for this analysis. Because of George I wouldn't have gotten to know your drumming art style Marthyn and so many others.
george leads with his feet, is all wrist at every tempo! awesome guy and very very down to earth!!
Flo Mounier of Cryptopsy!
Love George and love these videos, such a great idea. Very insightful.
Since everyone's requesting Ken Bedene, I second him.
One of the most versatile drummers of the "younger" generation!
tatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatata düdüdüdüdüüüdüdüdddüdüd tatatatataatatatatatatatatatatatatat
Ya mother
another drummer is digidigidig but kollias Brrttttttt
Hahaha! Best post ever! 1) Marthyn thanks us for tuning in and starts the video. 2) Loud, muffled sound of several trains filled with nitroglycerine and cymbals colliding in a large tunnel plays. 3) Marthyn explains what George is doing. ... Genius! Hahaha!
David McGraw from cattle decapitation
He's a beast
true!
You should make a review over his drum cam on the song 'dead set on suicide' that's insane
My band supported cattle decapitation 2 years ago so I met Dave McGraw and we drank together after the show. I was absolutely amazed by how humble they were and down to earth. Very nice guys and you're right about Dave McGraw being an absolute beast on the drums
Kingdom of tyrants : ua-cam.com/video/_Qw5chMouto/v-deo.html
I don't like Cattle's guitar riffs and composition, but I respect the fuck out of the drummer's talent, as well as most of the vocal styles of Travis Ryan (except for his stupid Dock Hag sounding "melodic" vocals).
The reason why i started to play fast drums and of course to play the blastbeat! I only learned it from him over his youtube videos back in the days because no one could teach it to me at this time! Huge inspiration and one of the best drummers outthere!
I love these videos Marthyn. You always have great attention to detail.
I love sincere emotions Martin, for example, at 2:31. And, as always, I will write a request for a drummer Ulcerate Jamie Saint Merat.
Great suggestion! Jamie is absolutely incredible! I would love to see an analysis of his early drumming with Ulcerate, since it was soooo much more technical and otherworldly.
Do one with Trey Williams from Dying Fetus please!
I was thinking the same thing!
Great videos Marthyn! I'm really enjoying these series!!! \m/
George Kollias is no heel toe, no fake triggers. All SOLID hits!!!
Finally George Kollias! The guy is a beast, I saw a clinic of his live and I was blown away! Πάμε ρε μορφάρα!
Love your videos! I don't know if Nails has any drum cam vids but would enjoy watching your analysis on their drummers technique.
George Kolias is a beast playing this style of music, nowadays one of the best in the genre.
I find what you pointed out about his swivel technique interesting, because for me i find that what Kollias does is the most natural method. Trying the opposite just on the floor i feel a little off balance in my seat. Maybe i'm weird like him, but to each their own either way.
I don’t even play drums but this videos are awesome. It is really interesting to know how the drumers in metal play and all the techniques they use to perform. Cheers!
great videos Mr Jovanovic....thanks a lot for them, great detail add the subtitles...thanks again
WOW i did not see you made a reaction on George Kollias! That's a real treat to see him play, thanks for this ! :D
You're welcome
First drummer I saw live. Not even a drummer, but I can’t get enough of your videos 👍🏻
I clicked this so fast!! Awesome!
Love the fact that even though you are a beast drummer, you still look at these videos like a proper fanboy! That's awesome!!!
You know your stuff man. Great videos!
I got my lip busted open during nile pit ozzfest 2007 dallas, TX sick azz show and great video man nice to see the technique of the drummers I really enjoy
Absolutely loved these videos sir...next Ken Bedene "Bit by Bit" drum playthrough maybe??
Ken is an absolute beast.
You took my request! Thank you very much Marthyn!
Funnily enough, I got a recommendation of one of George's lesson.
Great respect for your wish to uprade „The Underworld of Drum". Greet from Serbia!
Kai Hahto - Wintersun
Or Heikki Saari the new drummer of Wintersun (I found him from Norther)
Yes, i was waiting for you to do Kollias, wish you analyzed him play Annihilation of the Wicked or What Should Not Be Unearthed (the title track songs, not the albums)
My drummer just tell me that you played with belphegor !!!! I didn't recognized you! If you played with belphegor you deserved my complete respect
Exelent video máster teacher so many thanks
Great video! I also loved the krimh's interview so much
You should do a reaction to dirk verbeuren from soilwork with late for the kill early for the slaughter!!
Hallo Martyn
I had George at the great Drum Lab Camp in Greece for two years and I can just agree with ja ! I watched him playing untill 5 a.m. sitting on the floor of a big wood room while on the other side Derek Roddy was also there behind a DW :D What a fucking blast man
I'll be asking for a Hellhammer reaction on every video!
Nice analysis, thanks :)
you're welcome!
Would really love to see something like this on Jaime Saint Merat too ua-cam.com/video/apgJ7IjAKkU/v-deo.html :D.
i iove these videos
one of the best drumming vids i have ever seen is jimmy pino of Signs Of the Swarm playing coward's deathbed. it would be incredible to see and understand the crazy techniques he uses
Ken Bedene from Aborted please!
YES
can you pls post a link of a video you want?
@@drumtechniqueacademy ua-cam.com/video/nwrIDsNIy8w/v-deo.html
@@drumtechniqueacademy consider this too Marthyn
ua-cam.com/video/pDZIoMjwzKQ/v-deo.html
Felipe Castillo I would love to see this too. Incredible performance.
thank you for accepting my request to do George Kollias vid.
I remember spending hours on Derek roddys drum forum and then George Kollias forum back in 2004-2005. Can’t find anything similar nowadays
I've been kinda hoping you would do an analysis of George Kollias for a bit! I figured you'd have some interesting things to say. Which you did! It would be fun to see you do an analysis of either Francesco Paoli from Fleshgod Apocalypse, Kai Hahto from Wintersun or Martin Axenrot from Opeth. I think that would be great! :)
Hell Yes!!! I've been waiting for this \,,/ You just made my day good sir
Ps....I loved the theory on swivel tech
you're welcome!
Chason Westmoreland please - I really want to see what you have to say about his technique and speed! Pathogenic Apathy is a fantastic live video from Hate Eternal, and it showcases his talents perfectly! Anyway, another awesome vid! I have loved George's playing ever since he joined the Nile ranks for Annihilation of the Wicked!
Please please do Jaime Saint Merat from Ulcerate!
Yes!!!
ABSOLUTELY 🔥🔥🔥🔥please🙏🏻
Wowww Just Amazing , am big fan of nile , and Karl Sanders Riffs George's drum fill and Dallas vocals blend perfectly \m/ !!!!! Next Matin Lopez from Opeth Ex drummer
My favorit drumer george kollias
How about Dave Haley from Psycroptic? Love to see your thoughts on his playing! Great videos Marthyn!
Next vid maybe Kevin Paradis Benighted - Martyr playthrough?? It has full song first, then drums only in one video :D
That video is sooo sick... I wonder which drummers will submit a video for the contest
Craziest drum ever
Good! Waiting for this!
One with Flo Mounier would be great!!! Love your videos!
Hello Marthyn Jovanovic ! Just found your channel minutes ago, not even an hour has past and im already subbed !! Browsing through all your videos including a drummer that i know/love !
I really fucking love your detailed explanation and the way you are not bias against anyone. You respect their style and their skill level i like that !@
If you are interested by Drummer suggestion to investigate/review or even learn; here is my #1 ov all time.
**Ph.D YANIC BERCIER**
is a Canadian physicist and musician used to be the former drummer for melodic technical death metal band Quo Vadis** (quick wiki facts)
And a good quality and viewing angle video for you to analyze would be (I think it would be)
Quo Vadis - Absolution (Yanic Bercier drum footage)
A very awesome OLD SONG, sang live in MONTREAL by Stephane, the 'New' singer ! Amazing that they recorded it that way, this Quo vadis wasnt suposed to play all those old songs. but they did it.
Hey Marthyn! Love your videos man! Just wanted to clarify something. Kollias came to Bangalore, India, last year and performed at a clinic in which he addressed his technique and playing style. From what I remember, he mentioned that the swivel 'technique' was not so much a technique as it was something his legs happened to do when he played at those speeds, and was given way too much hype. He did say that it helps if the spring tension is high because it helps with the rebound, which you can use to your advantage. He seemed to want to distance himself from the whole 'Swivel Technique'. At least that's how it came across.
Anyway. Really dig your videos dude. Really hope you can check out and review drummers like Alex Rudinger, Anup Sastry, Chris Adler, Flo Mounier, and John Longstreth.
Cheers from India!
Here's Alex Rudinger playing Xenochrist:
ua-cam.com/video/EuPYJ0bzOdM/v-deo.html
You're absolutely right. I saw more than one video where George said that the swivel thing is not a technique - its like a byproduct... 👍
As you said he's trying to distance himself from the technique as it's destroying his knees, usually after a tour he goes to a doctor he's endorsed by (iirc) to get everything back in place.
@@Ardathful
Oh, never heard about that. Sounds not so good...
So maybe it's better to learn high speed playing without the swivel motion...
@@jurgentrockenbau9321 it depends, Krimh has been using it for so long and he never had any problems, even with such a big motion. But in his case it's controlled.
I guess it depends, Krimh doesn't play stuff that is as physically demanding as Nile, but iirc he does a lot of sport and stuff besides drumming. Some people have issues with it, some don't.
I personally can't do it with my main foot as I tense up almost right away up to my knee. Other foot is perfectly fine tho
Can you talk more about the swivel technique. I’ve gotten to 230-240 bpm without the swivel, but I’m wondering if I should try and develop the swivel technique
Kolias is a beast! I really wish you analyzed Jamie Saint-Merrat from Ulcerate at some point
Great commentary, I'm a drum teacher too 🤘
Jesus Christ it's George Kollias
the one and only!
I sat behind George's kit once. Couldn't almost get the beaters to touch the bass drum head.. SO tight springs 😂
Fucking AAAAA..... GEORGE KOLLIAS Is a BEAST and a DRUM GOD!!!!
Covjek je lud 1000%, inspiracija mnogim hiljada bubjara 😎😎👍👍
Pete sandoval please please please...any song from formulas
Okay Pete... now can I just hear your kick drum please..
your face at 02:32 says it all bro!!
It would be cool to see you do John Longstreth
One thing I've learned about playing double bass at faster tempos is wearing heavier shoes or boots gives you added power.
We definitely need an episode on Alan Cassidy, his pro shot of Threat Level or Receipt would be perfect!
Please react to Francesco paoli next!
Hello thank you for the interesting analysis! I would like to recommend you to react to anything from the drummer for Northlane Nic Pettersen. Song exampled that are found live and studio live are at least Leech, Dispossession, Quantum Flux, Scarab. He has a lot of interesting stuff for all drummers. Another is a more hectic fellow, Billy Rymer from the now defunct Dillinger Escape Plan. From them anything pretty much. Prancer is the song I want to give a shout out to. He has had a drum QA himself at Berklee. Anyway, have a great day!
Again,another great video! I would like to see you analyze James Payne or Neil Peart. :-)
I seen that band....that Rock
Great analysis, thtat was awsome I wish you could watch something from Mike Smith (I think there's a drum cam of him playing "Pierced From Within") or anything by Gene Hoglan, thtat would be great.
Here's some suggestions for next videos.

Kevin Paradis - ua-cam.com/video/bkihyZ6FWbs/v-deo.html
Jamie Saint Merat - ua-cam.com/video/apgJ7IjAKkU/v-deo.html (The fills with kick and hi-hat pedals transitions should be fun to analysis)
Dan Presland - ua-cam.com/video/UgudL2znU_4/v-deo.html
Marco Pitruzzella - ua-cam.com/video/jXFOoJB1U3w/v-deo.html
John Longstreth - ua-cam.com/video/g-9XmfZsqHE/v-deo.html
Ken Bedene - ua-cam.com/video/pDZIoMjwzKQ/v-deo.html
amazing audio
Cool! I learn a lot from these videos. Please do Lille Gruber from defeated sanity. He is the most interesting metal drummer in my opinion.
Great analysis as always but i think you should do videos that dont have such terrible audio.
Please do a travis orbin periphery video like the walk!
Jamie Saint Merat from Ulcerate please. Very unique and creative drummer
Honestly I would love to see Marthyn react to Sami Kuoppamäki. There are a couple of live solos of his on UA-cam, "Sami Kuoppamäki Drumsolo" and "Kingston Wall Drum Solo PROSHOT!!! Tampere YO-talo 1993". Sami seems to be just so uber-good.
Great job as always. Any chance of doing a video on Emil Wiksten performing Satanic Victory?
Have you done a video for frost from satyricon?
Would love to see a Raymond Herrera analysis. He was the reason I started drumming 20 years ago. I still can't do double bass for shit though.
Was this recorded with a plunger?
I've seen some extreme metal drummers using heavy boots when playing. Does the extra weight help with stability and/or power when playing this fast?
Could you do a video on Aquiles Priester pls
Good stuff again man! Can you do Flo Mounier of Cryptopsy next time?!? That would be great! Anything he plays live is good!
You should make a video on a reaction of Alex Bent's (drummer of Trivium) recent drum playthrough for Thrown into the Fire
Great work as always Marthyn! Your professionalism and work ethic inspires me to be my best in front of the kit daily! Can you maybe do a reaction video to Scott Phillips, Dirk Verbeuren and Martin “Kiddie” Kearns in no particular order?!
thank you very much..that means a lot...
For the fast double bass do his feet actually leave the pedals between beats?
I would love to see reactions to Derek Roddy from when he was in Hate Eternal and John Longstreth from Origin
Hell yes
ah i have similar sennheisers to yours. Do you find the highs to be a bit pronounced, too?
Nice analysis...I've always liked his style! Do Steve Flynn of Atheist! there is a clip of them playing Mother man 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise
george kollias and derek roddy. They are almost same technique and what's different between them?
