1. Choose technique that suits you on hand and feet. 2. Sit on your drumset and start practising the techniques in slow motion. 3. Play with metronome. 4. Be patient. Dont try to play just as fast as possible, try to execute the technique perfectly. 5. Practise a lot every day. Btw. it takes years to become really good so dont give up! And if your left foot or hand is weaker than your right - practise more with your left side... And most important: Have fun playing!

To think, this video is how I learned swivel and fast double bass technique nearly a decade ago when it was uploaded.

he is a phenomenal artist

He's right about the knee, I've felt that trying one-per-side swivel in this manner.

Trying to explain natural talent is difficult

I just bought drums and double bass pedal and this is really good advice for building my technique.

Do that! I'm just drumming for a year now but I learned this technique and figured it out after about three months... :)

Haha, that was inspirational. Made me want to start drumming.

You can teach someone all you want. It's up to that individual how they play. Everyone is different and they will play how they feel comfortable. Fast double bass can be achieved by all methods. Even the one's you never thought of. It's all subjective. You do you and be the best you. Don't listen to someone say it's right or wrong. Your body will tell you what's right or wrong. He might have issues with knees you may not. Everyone is different. Don't conform. That's how metal was started. That's how unique players exist. By not listening and saying "I can do better"

That doesn't make sense to me.. don't listen to the instructor and just play " however"?

Camera guy really isn’t bad. He kept it on the feet most the time. Most important shit.

this guy is a legend!!!!

Cuz George Kollias is a beast that's why :D

I gotta learn how to do that. It looks like a cool technique.

6:34 i saw it online. Guess I gotta report this video lol

I need to make my swivel a more compact movement definitely. How long did it take before your pain went away?

oh man. l've been practicing a lot to swivel my feet with no avail... Just for kicks, a great way to rest limbs is the classic Lars-Ulrich standing up when a song finishes

George seems like a pretty chill dude

Now i ask myself the same thing. I even watched it entirely. It feels like i'm actually learning/improving something hahaha

@RebelOnAWarpath For sure man I know exactly what you mean haha, I've had my double bass pedal for probably 6 years and i figured it all out about 3 weeks ago and it's never felt better

It's interesting!

kollia eisai theos!!!

@hatespreader666 The only Pearl's that are direct drives are the Demon Drives, these ones look like belt or chain-driven

What where the pedal settings? As in which cam was he using and how far back was the pedal board, etc... thanks :')

I think if you play long enough and keep trying to play faster you will naturally adjust your foot technique to something similar to this. I eventually found myself lowering my heels to the floor more and more. It almost like playing heel down, but my heel is not locked down.

lmao dude i know how you feel then i started to get it and my mind exploded and now i cant move my legs anymore! haha

@Centuriadrummer 7 years? How often did you practice each day?

aaahhhh katalaba......

1:42 What is that background sound?

COuld it be that some people have weak ankles or something and can't get to high speeds? I just try and try and can't go past 180 and even get quite tired there if I stay too long at it.

@TrSYeTi If you listen to his actual drumming it is impressive. There is a very musical aspect to songs such as What may be safely written. He also does some jazz drumming, which is not really highlighted enough, and if you know jazz then you know the timings are complicated, it isn't about being fast but it displays how good his technique is. Kollias could out-drum any popular drummer in the world, in a heartbeat.

el secreto de el es talon y punta cuando pedalea le da doble primero con la punta y cuando ba bajando le da con el talon por eso es tan rapido

ready ,

Can someone tell me why some drummers move their ankles left-and right, when they go hyper-speed? Is it some kind of energy saving technique, or perhaps relaxing the leg/foot muscles? Thanks :)

"anybody has something to say?`"

What pedal is he using in this video ?

Cool banner.....

In his videos he talks about having balance when using the heel down method what does that mean? I don't get it

fantastic camera work filming the floor for half the video

4:24 . A great italian drummer Raphael Saini

that is a blue cam in the pedal?

how can you practice to get that fast and get to where you can do the swivel really fast like George????

He makes me want to play drums and i play guitar :D

@F990 Those were direct drives. I think they are Pearl Eliminators

muchos tipos filman el doble pedal como que el secreto está en el aparato y el secreto está en la técnica de los pies filmadoooooor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3:17 Pearl Drum Company just sighed! =P

Is he using the black cam?

does George Kollias teach as well?

Kollias says in the video right above that this ankle movement can fuck up your knee because of the unnatural movement it creates to the bone/muscle structure, so i bet you may feel less tired during playing but you might also feel pain after playing.

YOUR A LEGEND GEORGE!.

Wie heist dieses Ding?

what he's not saying is that you have to treat your foot strokes to be rdy to bring the beater back with the recoil to add power to the next stroke, the whole point is to get your toe out of the recoils "way" so no speed is lost. and do this quick enough to sling it forward with the following stroke. Thats why he uses tight springs

Is he saying "super nice injury" at 4:55 ?

Nike Toca Bonito!!

i try this in rockband....

The most important for me was the ending... also have been having knee problem

@jonathannndrums and his foot when he shows the swivel instead of just the beater.

Hoglan has been doing this in 1995. Using the ludwig pedals from o1981

@OGTheDemon That is why I think Hellhammer is at least one of the best, because he is quite good in Jazz drumming. Trym also.

@chickenmanokout Not too easy but there are good training methods that give U exponential improvement

I use that technique :)

Because George Kollias is fucking amazing !

Well.. 'cuz Kollias rules.

the secret are in the shoes

@OGTheDemon You're right in the sense that it's his 'thing'. It's the style he's best at, for sure. What I'm trying to point out though, is that he's not only adept in his own style of drumming, but also in many other styles as well. It's not like it's an unexpected thing, he's been playing drums for what... 20 something years now? He's not going to be good in only 1 style of drumming.

I'm practising this technique, and i do play faster while i use it, but i don't hit the head very strong.

i do that all the time

how much are you making off the fifteen second advertisements?

Guys do you, by any chance know which youtube channel made this video?

@OGTheDemon Kai hahto is a really god drummer as well. He plays for wintersun. You are right about death metal, it's getting a bit generic, but you need to look for the good bands out there, there are very creative bands arround, just hard to find

because the guy is a fucking beast. i dont even play the guitar nor drums,i play piano xD

Was this filmed with a potato?

..fith.. :)

Those are my exact pedals. I sold them. This depressed me thoroughly...

@chickenmanokout practise practise practise, thats what all the big drummers out there will tell you and figuring out what technique fits you and your feet/legs the best!

@GamerFreakFilms2 no hes a brutal death drummer....thats it.... he may be diverse but thats his thing

@lucci97 Man I totally understand U. The same for me>-(

however you explain it you have to search your best position for yourself even if you have a pro master he cant do it for you exelent video still cheers

Wow George so fuckin good but i don't know that technique

@hatespreader666 Oh really? I couldn't really tell, kind of looked like direct drive to me. In the case it just goes to show how boss he is

i want to see goro from mortal kombat play death metal

i have that pedal :D

quello scienziato ''' che ha messo la pubblicita sovraimpressa e un genio cosi non si capiec nulla complimmmmerda

"Ä-ää"

I always watch drum videos. I dont even play drums. And I'm a bassist

My problem is to play softer beats. Like I would like to play Ensiferum's Little Dreamer, but I can't play the double bass parts. I don't wanna be a super fast player. Just play the music I like.

1 Dislike.... I was unaware Travis Barker had a youtube account

I prefer heel up, Its not as fast but I don't use triggers plus my pedals arent as fast as his. not that I could do what he does with good pedals and triggers

2:00 CANON :D
