#4 best death metal drummer

I love how you hear this intense as double-kicking, and then it shows his feet and it is only single! :O lol

I love the single-foot blast, sounds much more precise to my ears than using both kicks.

blppt normally yes, but in this case shouldn’t matter since it’s triggered

@blppt

@@rustinpeace-tt8gx That would actually make it sound less precise to me (if using double bass blasts)---triggers tend to expose inexact timing, and most double bass blasts I hear the drummer can't quite get the timing of a really good single-foot blaster. I agree that the second bass drum not being 'perfectly tune matched' with the first bass drum would be eradicated by triggers, but not the timing.

@@blppt what I meant was normally your comment is right about using single foot being a lot more precise but since George is using triggers it doesn’t matter because whether you’re using single kick or both, it will produce the same sample at the same velocity

@@rustinpeace-tt8gx Agreed, however, if he isn't kicking with perfect timing on both hits, it isn't going to sound as 'exact' as doing both hits on a single kick pedal. I think its pretty difficult to have both legs do in the kind of unison what one leg would normally do.

Kollias using the drums to their full potential.

I just saw them live in Monterrey and I could notice it, the closed eyes all te time. This guy is a beast.

He must've played this song hundreds and hundreds of times, yet he looks so passionate when he plays it. Gotta love that :)

Without a shadow of doubt Kolias is the all time best drummer!

My friend at the beginning of the video "Meh, he's pretty good" My friend by the end ":O holy fucking foot technique"

STILL WATCHING this in 2024. Used to make sure all my drum students watched all of his videos.. Kollias is a killer sick SIIICK!!!! drummer

2:19 GOOD LORD

George is in my top 20 favorite drummers and top 10 musicians. George is expanding his vocabulary at an amazing pace, his is the epitome of musicianship, always reaching out and trying new things, getting better. and since I started watching his videos I have more than doubled my foot speed and stamina (not bad for an old dog) Thanks George. and more jazz please.

Who needs cardio excercise when you`ve got Death Metal drumming :)

the 12 disslikes gave up on drums lol

This man is intense literally. Even his snare beating is outstanding...

George is quite the inspiration for any musician, so fun to listen to and watch, thanks for the post...

The Greek Titan 🤘🤘🤘

This guy can triple my double bass speed... with one foot.

George found Achilles' severed foot and now drums with it...

So satisfying to watch him play the drums

Beyond talented - his leg mechanics are psychedelic - amazing drumming

the cymbal mute at 0:57 and how quick he gets back is INSANE! it's like it's sped up but it's the pure reality 0_0!

George Kollias did a kick ass job on the drums for Annihilation Of The Wicked

mind blowing!! i hope to play like him one day!

The man simply isn’t human, amazing.

i like how every time he starts playing blast beats he looks up

George Kolias, Egyptian God of Extreme Drumming.

Best death metal drummer ever for sure but also one of the best metal drummers ever,almost inhuman

You know the drumming is good when you can put on a track and just focus on the drums only... Good stuff.

OH OH I KNOW WHERE I HEARD THIS IT'S CHUCK NORRIS' HEARTBEAT

George didn't used to be able to play fast double-bass, but then he took an arrow to the knee

this man is a f*cking machine. 4 me the best drummer in the world /;;/

i really want a live Nile DVD

He gained his foot strength from climbing all those stairs in Greece.

@dime133 No, that was George's first album with Nile. Roddy played on ''Black Seeds of Vengeance'' as a session drummer, and he was later succeeded by Tony Laureano, and then came George on ''Annihilation of the Wicked''.

Damn, this video is amazing!! That drummer is so fast..

Watching this made me break a sweat lol

awesome video

hes one of the most accredited drummers in the world and teaches in greece so APPEARANTLY he did something right.....

......beautiful.

Just went ARGHHHHH what did i just see from 2.15 to 2.25! Phenomonal!

Really great drummer

Simply MAD

Outrageous

@shredmeover Marco was their touring drummer back in 07' and Romain Goulon is the current drummer(past few years). and George's teacher was the Greek Jazz great Yannis Stavropoulos.

@allmetaliswelcome Seriously, that choke at :57 is nuts.

hes pretty good lmao

Warm up stuff!

Im not even a drummer but this shits amazing.

@Maledicted I think its because the camera operator himself was having a seizure because of the greatness of George Kollias lol

I would love to do this but I'm not going to play EVERY SONG BLASTING, Nile is epic!

Used watch the shit out of this during high school

0:46 O_o

George is great, the DVD is great, Sacrifice Unto Sebek is great. My only complaint is with the camera operator who's trying to give me a seizure.

It is still a good album even if you like it or not.

i love watching his one footed blasts

Nice one

What's wrong with being 15? You've been 15 years old too. I'm 15 years now, but this drummer is a BEAST and I know it. :)

I'm curious to see if George can play Flo Mouniers signature gravity blasts. It looks like George uses a combination of wrist and finger with his blasts all the time and I've never seen him use just finger like Flo.

@fnuggie ''Those Whom the Gods Detest'' is actually the latest album of Nile, not a band. At least, it's the latest until the new album comes out this year (At the Gates of Sethu). And there is only one solo project, as far as I know, and is still in production.

good performance

He's so damn fast that even the video quality and resolution get affected by his awesomeness lml

WOW....METAL WITH GRACE...!!!!

I always imagined George Kollias to be a breed of octopus.

It's just speed. Being creative and being able to play different genres is much more important than doing blast beats all the time.

Little known fact: In the studio, instead of putting a mic on the bass drums, they record either a hummingbird, amachine gun firing, or a guy farting and add it to the drum track.

AIR DRUMMING TO THIS SONG CAN BREAK YOUR FUCKING LEGS

Amen brother

The Best!!!!

@brickceo He is with the band Nile, there is a bunch of videos of him playing live with them. I've seen George with Nile live and he is one hell of a drum machine. I also have a picture with him :3

@LHondrums you made my day

You will never be able to play anything as good as they can. Young padawan, you still have much to learn.

If that claim is based on his work with nile, then that's just stupid. Yes obviously this takes a lot skill, but it's based pretty much 90% on stamina and speed. Every single nile song i've ever heard, uses the fucking patterns. There are SO MANY drummers who can play circles around this guy. If all you want as a metal drummer is speed and double bass, then yes. he's your god, but if it's versatility, creativity, groove, imagination, etc. then this guy doesn't have it at all. In the end, all he does is play basic-intermediate things but do it so fast, that ignorant people think he does some magic tricks. Nothing against him personally, but saying he's ''THE BEST EVA cuz dubbel bass'', is just terrible and so off.

DCCRYO LIMBO Pretty sure my knowledge about metal music is far superior to yours. based on your original post that is. Would you be more specific on, why you consider him ''one of the best drummers in the world''. You didn't even say best METAL drummer(which is highly arguable). You said best of any genre, which is mind baffling for me, and i smell ignorance and lack of common knowledge on the matter. I already backed my ''opinion'' a bit, but i've got more if you're ready for a civilised argument.

The snare feels like I'm getting hit in the face with a dodgeball

Jes Hunter Paoli is a great drummer, has a different style than Kollias, but while there are quite a few drummers who have a very similar style who are better or as good as him, but Kollias is perhaps the best at his own style. I saw Fleshgod live last month, when they came to India. Paoli was ill, and was on an empty stomach, though he fought through it. He fainted towards the end, but he came back to play the last song. Sorry for the long comment, but in my opinion, Kollias>Paoli
