George Kollias - Ithyphallic

[@Mario-us7ds]

As for my enemies My drums shall increase The beating of their hearts And deafen their ears

[@robertfinch6602]

U must b fun @ parties.. 😀

[@everybodypomarancze9355]

i'm a guitar player, but i can watch GK playing all the time. Human metronome... NILE!!!!!!

[@PajakTheBlind]

Although im not into this kind of music I must admit... you're awesome. Ok time for me to go look for my jaw... it should be lying here somewhere.

[@MrBurlybiker]

This my favorite Nile record! It’s got that special something!!

[@PainFullyUNcool14]

Thee greatest metal drummer of our time ladies and bangers! \m/

[@hlslayer123]

I imagine Nile acquiring George as their drummer was an amazing accomplishment. Mainly because on their older stuff, you can tell they were slower in speed because I guess the drummer couldn't achieve such speeds. Now that they have George, I think they've been able to go to speeds they've never thought possible. Bravo to Nile, and bravo to George, my favorite drummer. \m/

[@AaronGeracci]

This is Inspirational to any musician, Its awesome to watch, and inspires me as a guitarist everytime I view it. I may not be a drummer, however I reference the drums as a guitarist. This dedication can be applied to any school of thought. Great thanks to Kollias for inspiring many.

[@Nile8765]

DUDE. I know this is 9 years later and you most likely wont see it, but this is one of my inspirations as a guitarist to motivate to practice more hard.

[@AaronGeracci]

@@Nile8765 I have a name

[@DevilDriverRulz]

what are you blabbing about Nile is the best most unique band ever they have a sound no one can pull off the guitar solo's to even the sounds of just a fret or two sound amazing the vocals sound like the dead of the underworld and the drums are bone crushing you seriously need to open your ears when you listen have you even heard all their albums i guess not George pay no attention to him your works in Nile are utterly amazing and unmeasurable thank you for all the stuff you do for us the FANS!

[@trangofast9692]

the man is blessed with good shin muscles

[@shadowmanx37]

He uses the swivel technique, as you can see he "swings" his heels to the right and left. One advantage of this technique is, that it greatly relieves your shin muscles from over-use, cause the motion is mainly side to side, not using too much shin muscle activity :)

[@trangofast9692]

Thank you

[@TomDrummer95]

Trango Fast If you're going to try and get into it, I'd advise being careful about how far to the side you swivel. From experience, I can tell you that a smaller swivel is much healthier for your knees and joints than a larger one.

[@somethingorother3742]

>shin muscles calves

[@retrorenaissance9497]

dont forget those elbow muscles

[@Hhhlll7778]

Totally insane drumming,I think George has proved that anything is possible,if we talk only about speed and power and stamina then George is in his own category,could anyone explain his hand technique because he really is the only drummer who can play with power at extreme speeds

[@gehtdianschasau8372]

When learned drumming, i hit a speed limit, when i couldn't think of every stroke fast enough. I overcame that with muscle memory. The basics of Hi-hat, snare and base are programmed into my body. But this guy has 5 programs running his body simultaniously while doing off-beat stuff on the cymbals and magic on the base. Very impressive. Thx, for sharing.

[@Tony-fx9ky]

Thanks for sharing your week

[@gehtdianschasau8372]

@@Tony-fx9ky Thx for sharing your opinion about my comment. I really care about, what moronic millenials think about my comments.

[@Pennys1]

Lol, right on. Because I'm sick and tired of Slipknot fangirls saying Joey is better than Kollias. Glad to know there's somebody out there that agrees with me.

[@raymacdonald923]

Best cover on KZbin

[@KevinFlynn_]

He is the drummer of NILE

[@raymacdonald923]

+texnikos1 no shit

It's not a cover then is it lol.

Just to reiterate; it's a playthrough, not a cover.

[@RZanardiSantos]

the Traditional Blast with the hats 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@1SavageMiss]

Best drummer in the world hands down 😍😍😍😍

[@JimSaxon2112]

His technique is flawless....(that's why he makes it "appear" so effortless) It's not how many years you play, it's how many hours you practice...Great work!

[@Aaron_Gentry]

ANOINT MY PHALLUS!!!

[@scottbromage]

Aaron Gentry with the blood of the fallen. let my curses be heard, let my will be as Menthu the bull. Love Nile!!!

[@DruixXx]

George is THE man......each & every video of his inspires us to go that extra mile on the kit! Hail Geroge Kollias, Hail Nile & Hail the Drumkit!!

[@holnak]

Great!!! good job George! One of my favourite drummers.

[@darqangel69]

Watching George drum is fucking hypnotic.

[@boyankmetov7487]

I know this is all about drums here, but Dallas' vocals on this song are mind numbing! One of my favorite Nile tunes! It's awesome to watch this master of drumming do his magic & wonder behind the set though!

[@ToddFraud]

Vocals are insaaaane

[@urielseptim9860]

idk how any of em do it

[@urielseptim9860]

all while maintaining perfectly accurate mythological themes of ancient egypt

[@R3tr0v1ru5]

This whole song is a fucking masterpiece, the lead guitars make you feel like you are actually in Egypt.

[@aaoppe]

I totally agree, the vocals on this track are out of this world. Wish Dallas would use that "gear" more often because it fits the music perfectly. The part from and including "As for my enemies..." to "... with the blood of the fallen!", I mean.

[@TormainDub]

i get exhausted just watching him playing and he is so relax as a walk in the park

[@burythebody666]

I have to say out of every one in my opinion George is by far the best.

[@admireinspire]

its unbelievable that he plays this fast every damn night. George you are not a human.

[@djn48]

The tom fill at 3:34 where he switches his hi-hat hand from right to left so he can play the toms and snare with his right hand alone. I know it's not incredibly hard but he executes it with such precision. One of the many reasons to love this man's drumming.

[@andreivandrummer]

George Kollias, one's of my favorite drummer ever! :)

[@REVAvenged]

Amazing George loved it once again.

[@EvanPwnsYou]

i love how he plays single bass faster than most double bass players XD

[@sumpe8erosmuzak]

Bravo re Giwrgara!!! Fantastiko paiksimo kai akrws entupwsiako tautoxrona!!! Proskunw gia allh mia fora!!!

We've got to pay respect for such brilliant skills!

[@JERRYCS1987]

allways amazing, incredible job George

[@DrummerSridhar]

sir super sir.... excellent video....

[@monkeychunkey]

what i like about him especially is that he mixes up the songs rather than just godly blasts. He slows it up and makes it just that much more meatier

[@Vector2112]

Sheer dedication to extreme music! Awesome.

[@webad90]

I don't know what to say! But that's ok, cause words can not(!) describe this artist! GK, you're my love! I love you man!

[@poweruserGR]

Absolutely amazing! Congrats George!!!!

[@metalhans]

You are the man George. Well done

[@Darkluciddreams]

He has an amazing amount of power and control. Besides that his creativity is mind blowing...a truly amazing drummer.

[@xXObscureNightmareXx]

To say He is a God is restrictive....Hail Kollias,absolute master of drumming!

[@Svajen]

You, George is definitely one of the best drummers in the world today. Fantastic work as always. I really admire you and your skills! Keep rocking!

[@jmasterX]

Simply, brilliant!

[@getmeadoctor]

the most dynamic range. no show, ALL GO!!!! hail kollias!

[@5h0u73r]

thats just awesome! i love that song

[@nightmare355]

One of my favorite song from the last album! I can't wait to here the new songs george! I've read on the forum that the drumparts were more crazy then those on the Ithyphallic album! Can't wait to hear it!

[@tkdliron]

one of the best drummer out there

[@LordBelialTheOne]

I cant wait for the new dvd!

[@Hheawy]

My pleasure... I'm always ready to help my fellow drummers. Have fun practising times!

[@EmilianoCantiano]

I bought this dvd...and Geiorge is the best extreme metal drummer in the world!! I'm waiting for the new Nile album!!

George you are my hero.

[@EdgeStormcrow]

i need all his dvd's, damn.

[@silasjones04]

Dude, I'm not really disagreeing with you, but George is so damn good that it doesn't really matter what band he is in, his brilliance WILL be exhibited in any band he is in.

[@drumcovers15]

derek roddy and george are the best drummers for me. they are really fast both. just cant choose one of them lol. george im a big fan yours. keep rocking the drums and font forguet that there is a lot of drumming community (including me) who suport you and appreciate your job. You make something called "Drums" an art.

[@jamie141999]

george you are like some kind of drumming god, incredible.

[@lagartyjo]

Fantastic!, this is speed and technique. The best technical death drummer!

Definately my favorite drummer!

Man you make the camera shake with your awesome ness! excellent

[@The-Vay-AADS]

he says "it's the last one" , so no reason to ask my friend. get the DVD, its only 30€ and i got it right away when it came out, its worth it. you get a lot of motivation.

[@brotherhood302]

You can't get any better than this when it comes to death metal drumming...whether it's speed, timing and precision is off the chain. Don't know how diverse he is in different styles but, he and Mike Smith own completely!!

[@slavemachines]

@Feedthemeatgrinder thank you!!! glad someone finally said something. as metal heads we should unite. no fuck that, as music lovers we should unite.

[@jacksonpodxtshredder]

man! i saw you last night, here in bogotá, you blew my mind man! really!

[@NecKruM]

I love Nile!!!! Great band!

[@benkic]

Amazing, kudos !!

[@edgecrushers]

yeah, it's not for everybody.... but i swear... me personally, i can't get enough of good death metal drummers/drumming..... the technical abilities and stamina of some of these guys like george kollias, derek roddy, inferno from behemoth.... man... it's insanely awesome.

[@Thetruthinall]

Very intense and awesome George!! I love your drumming! Tell Karl Sumerian mythology owns Egyptian mythology ;)

[@alexaxxem]

you always impress me, i need to come back to your forums

could watch him the whole day :O

from now on when i listen to this track im gonna do it here, the drums sounds so fucking awesome, better than on the record, your a legend George!!!

[@GhostriderPL23]

This Text made my Day! :D

[@Kongregatedd]

If he didnt wear shoes he wouldn't have any feet by now - probably the best way to describe George's double bass to someone that hasn't heard of him.

[@lary-8753]

No.1 in extreme metal drummers

[@diabolusdc]

I think in a way there is an element that the techniques have become more refined as the various people explored methods, pedals develop and so on, like drumming in general. What George does is a development on top of the work of Tony Laureano, others, and his experiments too. For me George brings with him a stronger musical education.... and it shows. DC

[@SosoChauchidze]

just epic song!!! best DEATH metal drummer with Goulon!!! love NILE!!!

[@leanfiend444]

God prays to George Kollias.

[@RibbonGoat]

man this stuff is holy!

[@ReeceFullwood]

Amazing technique, haven't seen anyone match this speed and keep it as tidy as you do!

[@renshammar]

You're always awesome, that's nothing new.

[@АртёмЖильцов-у5й]

Zajebista awesome

[@MetalChild96]

you are just awesome george!!! love this song and the part when dallas sings anoint my phallus with the blood of the fallen is so fucking brutal!!! love that part and i cant wait until the next nile album comes out

[@Kriegsphilosphier]

Not going to argue with you :) you seem to got facts right, respectable. and some hype, Antithesis, Top-5 best made album on 21st century.

[@tomasfurst3921]

Love it!

[@SebastianPersini]

awesome man!! sick playing!

[@thuri11]

Maestro.

[@scaxxomaxx]

@ASSLICKERADAS ankle motion.The movement on right and and left of the heel is a conseguence of playing high speed,it's a matter of control and stability,it's the "swivel".But his technique is still the ankle motion

[@johnwaynegacy4904]

I don't know why but i seem to me that Kollias from years 2005-2009 is faster than now, i mean two last albums is slower than rest.

[@ShadarSixx]

+John Wayne Gacy i'm pretty sure he can still reach that speed if he wants to, maybe he wanted to try different things on the new albums

[@CesarVesvre]

+John Wayne Gacy True. but I think Nile understood music is not about speed. I mean the last album is awesome by its groovy riffs and structures. At the gates of Sethu is the album I like the less.

[@jambags1648]

+John Wayne Gacy why the fuck does everything have to have a detailed explanation its simple he is getting older lol come on people fuck.

[@dbo0729]

John Wayne Gacy I think it's similar to being a footballer. you are at your physical peak from 25 to 32 after that you lose speed and stamina.

[@nicolasfrossard4315]

John Wayne Gacy Age?

[@ryanvids1]

Absolute beast

[@monkeychunkey]

pause at, 2 :04, Look at his left foot. I just saw that. He's Clutching his high hat with his heel while keep his left foot ready.. simply amazing.

[@Velcharoon]

Saw this song live a couple of weeks ago.... fuckin' awesome^^! My favourite drummer (and band)

[@MatzRios]

this is totally brutal!awesome drumming!

[@chrisfehnftw]

i agree, sometimes you couldn't hear anything but the snare aswell, its a great album anyways! and now that Erik Rutan is drum producer for the next, i have high hopes for the drum production :)
