George Kollias Laying Fire upon apep

[@vintagedrums1]

this is the best drummer who ever has and will walk the face of the earth

[@behindthen0thing]

uh huh

[@Kain_R_Heinlein]

@@behindthen0thing no that would be Jamie Saint Merat ;)

[@vintagedrums1]

Update from 7 years in the future.i was wrong.infant annihilators drummer is the best in the world

[@proudtobeanamerican1997]

@@vintagedrums1 george kollias can play Aaron's stuff bud, and he makes harder stuff. Aaron favorite drumset is the superior drummer 3000. George could play Aaron stuff. There different technique to approach it. Aaron couldn't play Georges stuff.

[@gillaliglaou2840]

@@vintagedrums1 more like "your taste got worse during these 7 years''. No seriously, aaron uses double bass pedals that double click and shit like that. That's why he sounds faster.

[@BillySmith187]

George Kollias is the most dynamic drummer I have seen in a long time......Rock on George Kollias!

[@miata47]

It's no coincidence that one of the the greatest technical metal drummers (GK) is wearing Air Jordans! That is one secret to his phenomenal footwork. Thank you for raising the bar so high gkdrummer, now if only I can see it...

[@shropshirewarrior]

George Kollias vids are the only vids on youtube that makes me CRY!!!

[@blackseeds666]

this isn't drumming anymore, this is extreme sports :D fucking great job!

[@Joshhammond_406]

I would have had a heart attack doing 30 seconds of this! haha A huge credit to George's stamina and endurance.

[@indiadrummer]

I've been practicing this song for an entire year and I still can't nail it....goddamnit George Kollias stop being so gnarly.

[@Bobloblawwww]

i just laugh hysterically at how awesome George is.

[@Slayer21394]

I've seen this guy live with Nile (one hell of a show by the way). Definitely one of the best extreme drummers out there.

[@scgcdmluvr]

UN-FREAKING-BELIEVEABLE! Undoubtably my fav. drummer of all time... Great video!

[@irondandrummer]

2:09 ...I've just discovered that Kollias doesn't actually move like we do. He just telepathically issues commands, and his limbs obey. Like "Snare/tom rolls", or "Blast. BLAST!!!!". at THIS time in the song, I think he just went "Ok... Surprise me. Go!!!"

[@GussGussone]

George Kollias ... for me is the best drummer ... I have not seen another in excess of their speed and cleanliness to play ... like another great drummer Tim Yeung

[@RainAir09]

george kollias is my favorit blast drummer

[@Jgresko]

GK is a drumming god, and he uses My dads headphones, Extreme Isolation headphones are the best! /\/\etal George soo metal, thanks for the free dvd too again appreciate it much!

[@-fleurdumal-]

best turkish drummer

[@maciej715]

George Kollias - this man is not from this world !!! :) A WE SO ME. speechless. Totally UNHUMAN... 0_o

[@Metal4EverGR]

so true so amazing

[@Ramon666zig]

Kollias é o melhor!!!Brazil

[@xImpendingChapelxAAF]

Kollias the Destroyer, those single foot blasts,the double bass speed, and anyone saying his hands are sloppy needs to go listen to some carnifex for sloppy hands!

[@turcoladen]

Speed! Blast beats! Double bass drum! So freaking good...

[@monkeychunkey]

@behindthen0thing you are right, It's GROWLING!!

[@ironmaidenshredd]

No one can ever talk shit about metal, i would consider those who have succeded in it like this guy are the most talented musicians on the planet. like honestly, anyone who has ever touched a kit would know that this requires a skill level that most will never achieve.

[@evanjames80]

Sick! it's to bad a lot of these negative comments can't respect it for what it is. George rules.

[@cam_mueller]

Yeah I dig what your saying for sure. And I agree. My point was the fact that above the speed is a lot of versatility and dynamics in George's playing.

[@saintdeathangel]

Once 0:54 hits...it's like 2 rabbits on Crack and meth and krytponite going at it flash x superman speed ....insane! And I love that riff right up to Karl Sanders saying "the skull is ripped from the spine"!!!

[@behindthen0thing]

That's funny

[@FabianNibbe]

perfect take

[@MegaFartpants]

Amazing how this makes me want to be better and give up at the same time. Also, love the Air Jordans!

[@inquisidor1]

@RaverWhiteLight wrong, everybody knows that kollias is Ra not Zeus

[@HyporiZ]

@knasroll - actually hes using his left foot to control the hi hat pedal whilst playin double base, u can see it in some of his other videos.

[@maciej715]

unhuman fills - AWESOME. blast beat forever

[@Mattiasgbg]

This man is a beast!

[@xpertbrewer]

WOW just WOW!!

[@nicolofantato7087]

@nazzarre79 he's using axis a-l black edition with the e-kit. the Silver edition used to be slightly cheaper. the beaters are tama's iron cobra ones.

[@ravennon]

Ungodly brutal, one of the best drummers there is

[@cam_mueller]

Obviously every drummer should know that speed is far from everything, but every now and then youget a guy that's SO dynamic in his playing on top of that speed and your just like "The fuck?!" George Kollias is one of those people.

[@MrAlexAugur]

God of the Drums...

[@MegadetH179]

i cant imagine playing a live show...itsd like 3 hours of this like wow

[@skater15153]

and the crazy part is he has power too...he's not just tapping...he's a beast

[@DEFOURAILLEUR]

Nile rocks !!! Incredible drumming...

[@sauxstall]

Yeah you're kickin in ! fucking unbelivable beats, my favourite drummer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ELVAI2000]

impresionante¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[@21sabiandrummer67]

there is no 'best drummer' b/c as time progresses there will always be someone better, but dont forget Romain Goulon. Him and George are my two personal favs at the moment.

[@Taserrface]

he does use triggers! "If you go for high speeds then your band will not be able to listen every little thing you do,not being able to follow you.This is why i use triggers" Took that from one of his forums. I support triggers a lot, gives it a better sound and much more clarity. Kollias is one of not very many drummers that kick hard enough to not use them. But triggers sound kick ass, hence why he does use them

[@nousername976]

I wander if he can play My Sharona.

[@xxjustinx34xx]

this guy is such a beast

[@0xelg]

You see, the secret to his bass pedal speed is the fact that he doesn't actually move the pedals, he moves the world.

[@D.M.-]

They're by a company called Extreme Isolation

[@Kuldur]

George has enough RPMS to keep an engine running!

[@abacacus]

@NeMcvey He's publicly said he records using both mics and triggers, then he mixes the sounds together... something tells me he needs to record with triggers to get the sound to mix...

[@ieatls1]

such a badass

[@xImpendingChapelxAAF]

axis are fucken beast! how are the eliminators? i got iron cobras, 2 singles, they arent bad but i want either longboards or demon drives!

[@DomIstKrieg]

He is a fucking beast. No other word for him. He isn't a human. He is some sort of drum god. I'm going to go outside and offer my first born in the vain hope that Mr Kollias will see it as a worthy sacrifice and bless me with his drumming prowess.

[@Simon53188]

LOL you actually had me convinced bud! LOL

[@Joeskateapool]

and that sir is a fact. have you heard the band Drawn and Quartered? good stuff. check em out if you dont already know them

[@goiarboleda5397]

fuck! thisguy is a legend!!!

[@Nicktolias]

He has some side projects out of Nile, that also show his more flashy technical side, matched up with his everyday extreme drumming

[@Audricd]

@nazzare79 its AXIS and not alexis. and its series A, longboard.

[@JDerrrty]

No. Axis AL series in black. Same as regular AL's just in black... theyve been doing that since the 80's. On a side note.... Did anyone notice that George is playing in jordans? :]

[@Finaliity]

[@lucasathus]

@JonasOfSweden lol how can u do that if u can't do the rest?

[@GeorgeMetaleonStefanis]

@devildriver676 oh yes he does man,he uses the axis e-kits kick drum triggers,as his youtube channel refers!

[@beklawd]

@WTFeaRdowN You gotta add Shannon lucus up there too

[@Y-key25]

@WTFeaRdowN hey dude! you forgot to mention Flo Mournier!!

[@DevilDriverRulz]

Best Drummer alive cant wait for the new Nile Album

[@khennigs]

Anyone know what headphones he's using? I'm in the market for some that filter the drums out.

[@behindthen0thing]

[@balrogslovenski666]

see you in belgrade 26th january !!!

[@Thatmetaldude590]

Damn you sick man... He must bike faster than a car ^^

[@qoxohifo]

im not really into this type of music but my god this man is insane

[@slayermanbob]

@RaverWhiteLight I believe you mean, they didn't expect Ra to show up. Nile being Egyptian and all.....

[@Itsoeasyafterall]

he is good .. real good !!

[@athinadrk2882]

Faster than the fuckin'light😁...amazing!!!😈

[@muzgol]

I've been wondering if George could play Painkiller intro with one foot?

[@vamsterr]

@Thatmetaldude590 I've seen it. insaaaanse XD. i sooo want Axis longboards. used them at The Drum Shop in Newcastle. sooo wicked XP

[@nazzare79]

what kind of alexis double pedal is this? thanks

[@Killyoudeadnstuff]

what kind of teqnique does he use with his hands to get that fast? i can't see him playing fast because his hands become a transparrent skin collored figures i don't have time to understand before the cameras change views

[@RoguSpanish]

@FerchoH4x I'm still completely lost.

[@Bearthoughts]

@givemeajackson, I think you should listen to a few of the bands he mentioned and I strongly recommend Opeth (they do play in 5 in case you didn't know).

[@renshammar]

George is faster with one foot then I am with two. Literally.

[@kauangw880]

Oh lord, pete the feet 2.0

[@flippyroadkill]

finally some good drumming yeah

[@weevil3582]

@MandingoV2 yup, those are single strokes, not heel-toe. George is a god.

[@rumble131]

@MikeJomara Its the music where this drumming is required

[@khennigs]

He beats the shit out of the kick drums too; this is great! :D

[@JimSaxon2112]

I think I heard a mistake......it was the 22,169th bass drum note......(I think he was early)

[@serialkillerkami]

internet sarcasm isn't working, apparently. He's fucken amazing

[@renshammar]

Indeed.

[@thewarlord333]

My god, if George's foot is stronger than Chuck's foot, imagine a roundhouse kick from George!

[@sugat1ts]

@WTFeaRdowN do not forget Romain Goulon in the list of amazing drummers :D

[@swampcoffin6198]

man his one footed blast are amazing...he can blast faster with one foot than I can with both of my feet! >_< it fucks with my mind lol!

[@rsman169]

@JiTiAr35 I think the snare is in some pain aswell.

[@DBSaiyanTim777]

Facking great drumming!

[@systemofdoom]

Kollias is clearly a robot, because no human should be that good.

[@renshammar]

2:10 that's a damn signature move right there.

[@BenHBX]

awesome! a version with base drums instead of triggers!

[@SinisterSkip]

man that double bass, TRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[@Grunik1618]

Hmm, 2:09, was he inspired to use that from Aeons or was he inspired from this song to use it in Aeons?

[@Thatmetaldude590]

@vamsterr Yea, five pedals is overpower ^^ Check out Aeons of Burning Galaxies, he uses it a lot there.

[@666NB666]

How much bpm is that??

[@tr3vstar01]

what is this??? 15fps??? his feet arent connected to his legs properly.

[@SlayEmAll1986]

Drumming, the next Olympic sport!
