Hello everyone,
this is another new song (a demo song) from my solo work. This is just finished, i actually wrote the guitars a few days ago and thought to do a drum video so you can see my new studio in Sountrap Studio's Drum Booths in Athens. The room is fantastic and the kit is my new handmade Pearl Masterworks....this kit is the one and only piece worldwide which i designed from the top, everything is completely custom and as you will notice it sounds amazing...!Even in this " ruff demo mix" no need to do much, the kit speaks for itself and making my life very easy!!!
The song is finished but it might change, every idea right now is temporary so changes might happen in all my songs. We will see what happens...As soon as everything is finished i'm getting in the studio to start tracking and the album will be mixed by the great Erik Rutan at Mana Studios in Florida.I am SUPER excited about that.....will post more news when we are progressing!
Thank you all and hope you enjoy it!
Special thanks to Vassilis Nikolakakis for making this video...
George

Thank you all for the quick and positive feedback! -The rides are the HH Leopard Rides, 22" on the right side and 20" on the left. -Yes, Erik Rutan is THE MAN!!! I am so looking forward to work with him again! -This song is a few days old, i don't know what will change but still thought to share this video. -The Multi Pedal pattern is different than Aeons, it's reversed with accents on the Hi Hat. Nothing crazy, i would say sounds closer to "Laying Fire Upon Apep" than "Aeons". Thanks guys

same here. the amazing thing about these guys is that they can play absolutely everything convincingly, despite their ability to play faster and more brutal than anyone else they can control themselves and still have all the feel and groove needed. a lot of fast guitarists lack this ability.

I remember an interview with Tom Araya when "Reign In Blood" was released and he said "10 songs in 28 minutes - we feel we've set the standard for a thrash album. If we made it any faster it would be stupidly fast and it wouldn't make any sense" I used to think Dave Lombardo was fast. This is on another level. I cant really get into the "extreme" speed stuff like Infant annihilator etc but I have to admire the stamina, technique, and work required to be able to deliver at this level.

It’s funny, in an interview George said he wasn’t happy with how the drums turned out on his solo album, he said they were good for complementing the songs but he didn’t get to go crazy like he originally wanted to. This makes me wonder how this song would sound if he played ambitiously instead of just following the songs with blasts and double bass. Hopefully one day he might release some covers of these songs where he plays what he originally wanted to do, that would be so sick

@howycwap 10 жыл бұрын

have you ever understood that people (like myself) think george's drumming is boring? I've heard thousands of blasts. Thousands of single stroke tom rolls and skank beats. It takes a real drummer to interest another drummer. Think Dan Foord, or Blake Richardson, or Jay Postones. They have interesting content not shock value speed, the first words out of my mouth when i listen to good drummers is "wow that was interesting" not, "wow that was fast" Im not jealous of george, im jealous of all the drummers i mentioned.

howycwap I think George is a grest drummer but as you have said I don't believe he uses as many tools as he could in his drumming. you should check out nick pierce or alex rudinger they have pretty interesting styles. also trey Williams and adam Jarvis and kevin talley they got that groove. although on some points I agree with your opinion I still respect this drummer. I also respect your opinion. im gonna check out those drummers you have listed. thankyou.

@howycwap 9 жыл бұрын

deicidaldemon Check out danny walker of intronaut as well, and travis orbin, who i think you may know if you like rudinger. and chason westmoreland who I think has the best extreme metal fills. and navene koperweiss who was the drummer of animosity and later animals as leaders. some great drummers who I think are extremely well versed in speed and actual interesting content. my definition of talented and versatile

I can appreciate the endurance and speed at which he plays but I got tired of him using the same rolls and just overall lack of variation throughout the song. It might just be the genre which i'm not really that into but I think Peter Wildoer and Dirk Verbeuren are just miles ahead of everyone else in terms of their creativity and finding ways to really get inside the groove. Just my opinion

@JamesCollins90 10 жыл бұрын

I agree with this to a degree.. but at the speeds he's playing, any other fill simply wouldn't or couldn't be distinguished I would imagine

@e99fuy0ng 10 жыл бұрын

I think you could actually. I mean, I could tell he was playing pretty much the same thing by ear so it would make sense that I should be able to hear anything he does differently. And still if what you say is true then wouldn't the speed be just limiting what you can do?
