I honestly dont know how a drummer can be as tight as George. Everything he does just falls into place so perfectly! Incredible

This song in general kicks MAJOR ass. But as a drum-only track, it really enables you to open your ears and eyes and totally appreciate what is going on 110%. And therefore be totally blown away all over again. Utterly phenomenal stuff, as expected from the mighty Kollias.

In this genre, you really need to hear the product of the whole band to get the effect. I definitely agree that the separate parts sound similar, it's what they all do together that makes them so unique.

Even if I wanted to hate on this video I would not know what to talk about. Awesome sound, awesome drumming, phenomenal timing, yet emotional in a certain way and very inspiring for young musicians. We live in a good world (or at least it could be worse) - people like george are able to earn their bread by doing this kind of awesome stuff. :D

He just never ceases to amaze. Just when you thought he had done it all....he does it again, only faster and cleaner.

So clean and consistent, even at some of the highest tempos... George Kollias never fails to please. One of the best drummers out there in my opinion \m/

how can someone do not like this video ??

I started using the technique of his left hand a while ago. At first you face a fuckload of problems but once you get it it just feels amazing, you can release so much power it´s incredible

the brain is a powerfull and creative piece of human matter, instructions not inculded, live n learn, love and create

I syncronised up TWTGD with this drum video...it was awesome :D

6 and a half minutes of pure speed and compositional prowess that my mind can barely comprehend. Awesome!

When God said let drummers go and get you gift in the water, George was already dry and giving a full tour! LOL You are the beast!

I NEED THIS NEW DVD :)

whoaa... excellent precision!

Simply the best!!!!!!!!!!

you know this proves that he is from our planet :P

George why you have to be so perfect playing the drums? :P envy you :P. Cheers from Mexico! i love you style! :D

i dont understand why everyone thumbsed it down im just joking around this dude is fucking amazing

Fuck man..unstoppable beast. George is the king of DM drummers. He's legit when it comes to speed, power and no double strokes. I don't think many people can match this shit.

Awesome i am dying for the new Dvd release!!! would love to have another poster sighed !!! cheers George !! and hail the drum kit !!!!

and that kids, is what professional drumming sounds like.

I fucking love the drums on this song. It forces instant air drumming every time I play it, or the rest of the album for that matter.

kicking ass on those drums as u always do. hellyeah

A little over 2 decades. I kept doubting myself, and this time I actually looked it up.

George Kollias aka Captain insano drums lol , awsome video

That pause at 6.22 is really classy...I love it..it just help the next blast to punch you in the face....I also love to use pauses when I play to emphasise a particular moment in the song.

I seriously looks like its sped up, George is amazing!

perfect. kollias play this slower than other projects but he did masterpiece. you opening my vision. thanks.

Incredible

So good.

kit sounds great

this guy is a God! holy shit look at that technique!

George,one name, a guarantee\m/:-)!

just amazing!!! keep on GK!!!

LOVE your videos. you know exactly what angles are most interesting at all times :)

These Jordans are the secret of his velocity

the only thing that can beat him in drums is a cross between an octopus and a minigun! love this guy!

4:10 that's sick man

Blasting, hope the new DVD comes out soon!!! I need a legal copy!!! :-)

Man, those single foot blasts are just insane. I usually do single foot as well..but nowhere NNEEAARR that level!! Blows my mind every time I see you do those! haha

@RedOnChrome In my experience, the reason most death drummers use 16th note and 16th note triplet fills is because that is what the guitars are doing, and it goes with the overall feel of the song. Unless you get into the techy stuff, most death metal is based around 16th notes and 16th note triplets. It's all about the flow of the song and what fits it best.

Ok, this too short !!! I want a whole week ! Not 6 minutes. :D It`s always a delight to see new stuff from Mr. Kollias.

Very Cooll AMAZING DRUMMER!

I love that tom sound...

Oh wow! You're incredible, man...

I just now showed my dad this and he's like "Where's the fucking power at? Like John Bonham." I tried to explain to him that with drummers of this style it's more about how you use your hands and feet, more broken down, more technique oriented, less is more kind of a thing. Basically that's what I've gathered out of tons of video of my favorite drummers. I just thought it was an interesting conversation and gave my take on the generation gap/evolution of style. Accurate statement, drummers?

So I watched this and came...then I proceeded to watch the rest of the remaining 6 minutes and came many more times

Gods don't make mistakes, he just wanted to teach us what a "mistake" looks like ;)

The second drum god of extreme metal drumming in history (after Sandoval) to make one of these epic slow drum part songs, like God of Emptiness in a way. All imo of course. This is much more epic though!

@FurbyParade226 Heel-toe would require you to lift your heel too. Lifting your leg and slamming your heel in along with the rest of the leg is still heel-up as well. And while, yes, he does lift his heel, the secret to his speed is the ankle rotation, not his heel going up. I'd argue that his technique is not THAT much different from heel toe.

I love the tone he gets out of that Pearl kit. How does he play just the single kick that fast? I know, it's the high-top sneakers!

FINALLY! i've been waiting for a video from something off this album for wayyyy too long post khem khefa next please

that kit sounds fucking awesome

the sticks float in his hands. just metaphysically this guys dif hehe

if you are referring to George he is using his signature stick with vic firth. go check it out , it's name is GKS

@baronofhell08 Oh my god! :O I don't know what's more incredible, the fact that he is human...or the fact that he kept on playing like nothing had happened anyway?? :O I didn't even notice that mistake while listening man...

You are inspirational

legend

shortest 6 minutes of my day

Amazing as always :)

HE IS HUMAN!!!! HIS RIGHT STICK HIT UNDER THE HOOP OF HIS 12" TOM DURING THE DRUM FILL AT 3:51 !!!!

I'm not pointing to any mistike man. He is George Kollias (he would never have a mistake XD) and one of my favorite drummers. Also, by the way, Death Metal is one of my favorite genres in music. I listen to bands like this, Nile, others like JFAC, Black Dahlia, Spawn Of Possession, Beyond Creation, Gorod, etc. and they all blow me away! Blastbeats, fills, and double bass in 200bmp or higher can't be played by anyone. And yes, I can't play this yet. I still need lots of practice to achieve this..

this is much more beautiful than the beauty of birth

I could ''hear'' the song all the way through ^^

es un maestro!!!! una maquina

those blastbeats just sounds unhuman...

I love his Swivel!!! GODDAMN!

Gk practices funk too, lol, it's not all about being fast, it's something I need cause the crowd loves it.

Even then, how many asians did you see that were able to play like Kollias? That guy isn't even human.

IT'S A MACHINE

insane, holy fuck!!! amazing

i believe in god now he create this guy in a second

@6Shawn6Crahan6 Sounds great on his latest Pearl kit without triggers.

No words for that... just AMAZING! How can you play with basketball like shoes?

I'm listening this together with the Song Baby... It's very nice xDDD

made it at 2x speed and it's still realistic

For all the new metal drummers out there who are learning death metal. watch this and learn from not a master but a god of gods.

I have family in Athens that I would like to visit over the summer. Hopefully you will have a show going on at that time. Hows the Mastura out there?

MASTER

🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

@olliemedsy, I see you have the same problem as me. Try playing it in slow-motion if you have that option available. I hope you won't experience any more technical difficulties in the future.

Flying wrist technique ftw

@peterkroon swivelling a foot makes double bass easier, but seeing as his right foot is going to be stronger than his left, he doesnt really need to swivel it

and he probably wanted to show some rare shots from him as mistakes. that's a great gift for us, as recently there are too many fucking technical inhuman drummers who don't seldom show their mistakes! (at least in videos for public)

Hey, mister. I’m the Jessica. Please contact Ritchie. You are amazing George. Keep it up.

I seriously laughed out loud every time I saw his feet!!

actually when you play bomb blast you get more speed and power in your hands cuz of double bass. you can find tons of explanations about that, so check it out :)

Nice camera angles, and awesome quality, but whomever edited it has watched too many Bourne Identity movies (choppy, short cuts of video that ultimately just detract from being able to watch things). Just my opinion, and posted as constructive criticism. As always, it's a pleasure to watch you play.

ii dont know how george manages to do double pedal like that!! :O

@DeusUniversa10 I guess its a mix between Moeller and perhaps the Hybrid technique which Hannes Grossmann explains in a youtube video,but every drummer have their own technique that works best for them

Let's get George onto the football pitch and Messi on the drums. Seriously!! \m/

LOL after 3 minutes of his blasting i here voices in the cymbals

I feel like those feet are about to take off in flight.

He actually plays really gently.Matter of speed i guess.Beast.

Whoa I can increase the speed of the video back to George's normal playing speed!

Those (drums) whom the George destroys :P

I'd be more of a PAISTE user if I played drums, but that hi-hat sounds really good. Someone knows what it is ?

OMG the CYMBAL ARM CROSS! Fucking aaaaawwweessoooommmeee!

damn, i bet the hardest part for him are the controlled slower double bass (around 1:00). but he does perfect!

Wish this guy got attention like Cobus, Luke Holland or Ricky Ficarelli.
