George Kollias - Sacrifice unto Sebek (Intense Metal Drumming DvD)

George playing Sacrifice unto Sebek. Taken from his DvD ''Intense Metal Drumming''. I do not own this video and all rights go to George and the publishers of this educational DvD.
Enjoy and comment :))

Hands down one of the best drummers in death metal.

[@brianmastel8575]

Jean-Luc Fernández one????

[@Rob_KaBob]

Lol!!... More like "The World"!!!

[@Rob_KaBob]

@@brianmastel8575 He obviously doesn't play drums! 🤣😂😭

[@crazydavec3861]

Not just hands down... hands up and down... really really quickly! 😂

#4 best death metal drummer

[@phonkyfeel1]

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

[@isaacshemp901]

Kollias using the drums to their full potential.

[@R3tr0v1ru5]

Pretty much all tech death drummers do.

[@Headbanger9000]

+Deathbyblackhole seems that a lot of drummers who play Tech Death and Brutal Death have jazz influence. Lille Gruber from Defeated Sanity is insane behind the kit.

[@mcrichton46]

@@Headbanger9000 GK loves Jazz, there’s even a video of him playing jazz with some mates and he’s a completely different drummer

[@Monkeyninja124]

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

[@blppt]

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

[@rustinpeace-tt8gx]

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.

[@rustinpeace-tt8gx]

@@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

[@blppt]

@@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.

[@BabiesInTheSnow]

Anyone notice he has his eyes closed the entire time? Pure proof that George is a Greek God.

[@herculesbrofister265]

It's common when you're feeling the vibe. I do it when a good song comes on the radio when i'm driving to work

[@serpentscoil9868]

He a Egyptian god

[@mauriziozambrano317]

@@serpentscoil9868 exactly

[@drumboarder1]

Also notice he isn't even using his hands

[@beboringo23]

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

[@richardwilliams1310]

George should start a worldwide chain of drummer gyms, get fit with blast beats and stay brutal \m/ ... I would join \m/

[@SKRUBL0RD]

why not just start it and hire him to be the spokesperson

[@wagnerjunior6524]

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

[@renshammar]

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

[@stoneddemonicpirate]

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

[@Fargus990]

2:19 GOOD LORD

[@brickceo]

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.

[@marosecastillano2435]

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

[@greaterJAY]

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

[@rombsercs]

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

[@urielseptim9860]

Approved.

[@DeathPenguin1000]

Fucking gold.

[@joselopez6990]

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

[@Opethianaut]

The Greek Titan 🤘🤘🤘

[@JesperK86]

So satisfying to watch him play the drums

[@allmetaliswelcome]

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!

[@lexieluthor]

Beyond talented - his leg mechanics are psychedelic - amazing drumming

[@user-wm3tj6xq3h]

GEORGE - лучший ударник 🔥👍🔥

[@markanthonydubur3211]

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

[@donSparda]

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

[@rossprince8504]

The man simply isn’t human, amazing.

[@dfrossness]

Wow. Incredible. Best metal drummer who has ever lived.

[@therealvoltage]

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

[@octavioperez3553]

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

[@sohaib785]

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

[@alessandrozerbone]

Kollias mops the floor with every single one of those drummers

[@rickgorman2058]

the 12 disslikes gave up on drums lol

[@whamases]

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

[@Hhhlll7778]

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

[@metalguy625]

@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.

[@thefigure13]

George Kolias, Egyptian God of Extreme Drumming.

[@Naaga88]

@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''.

[@shropshirewarrior]

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

[@DrumCoversFromHell]

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

[@1fatherwinter]

the gods detest kollias cuz he's an alien from another galaxy

[@countdracole]

i really want a live Nile DVD

[@YouNoob93]

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

[@mrdee734]

Imagine Seven Nation army played by George

[@tence_6965]

Bahaha that could be done in his sleep

[@thewarlord333]

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

[@xxmlhedxx]

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

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

[@Vlogmoviesproduction]

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

[@Naaga88]

@kommisar Try putting it on 480p, this is the best quality I could have given, it was hard for me to cut .vob files :)

[@Naaga88]

@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

[@Naaga88]

@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.

Really great drummer

[@dougdepierro3059]

Amen brother

[@Maledicted]

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.

[@PhiyukYu]

hes pretty good lmao

[@johnwilliams9565]

Kollias a beast

[@AQganon]

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.

[@kdubya90]

@85Aheadstix That whole story changed real quick when I learned that Kollias was on AOTW..chill guy. ;)

[@DCCRYO]

Fuckin haters kolias is one of the best drummers in the world

[@Vaginaattori]

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]

Vaginaattori appoints someone who has such good technique, is so clean.

[@Vaginaattori]

DCCRYO LIMBO That's an unnecessary fallacy. I don't need to be a drum god to realize this. All it takes is common knowledge.

[@DCCRYO]

Vaginaattori that's because you know nothing about the theme only coments because you have internet access.

[@Vaginaattori]

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.

[@adam1ooo]

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

[@tucaronick]

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

[@CaH6633]

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

[@Sabroe_ffs]

@Naaga88 @GoatSkinner666 Yes you are correct. Well, Axis Longboards to be precise :) I think he's also using the E-KIT trigger for Axis

[@vinigretzky97]

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

[@AvgerisCannibal]

he is the damn best....

[@eaglewatch99]

Im not even a drummer but this shits amazing.

[@ElMario189]

i love this guy ;D Goerge kollias is the best drummer (for me)

[@christian100xxx]

super algun dia

[@osmith9212]

fucking love kollias, would love to see him and francesco paoli battle

[@tomasfurst3921]

That would be like teacher and student.. :)

[@jambags1648]

Tomas Furst francesco paoli is a boss

[@SaisagarJadhav]

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

[@MicheleCiprianiit]

Oliver Park Francesco is good, to me George push the drum to another level

[@tomasfurst3921]

Jes Hunter Yes, he definitely is, but Kollias is god!

[@lightthisciry]

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. :)

[@Doneyear]

@Necronaut That is true, I haven't heard half the metal music out there, but if you were to take a guestimate, like I said, MOST of the time you would hear faster blasting with feet, not hands.

[@marcelmelgarejo]

good performance

[@SLABONECHD]

Nice one

[@Naaga88]

@LHondrums you made my day

[@Cschshc]

GEORGE THE BEST OF THE WORLD

@neckface413 I've learned to live with his new approach to vokals :) And the music in Psycroptic is flawless

[@Bruno1P]

1:06 ---> Dramatic Snare

[@Unrated48]

Guys if you like George Kollias, also check out Spencer Pewett (From the band ArchSpire) They are really underrated, so please check them out :) Their drummer = or > George Kollias ;)

[@danielchaves4763]

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

[@843andrew]

i dont play drums but this is great

[@Doneyear]

@Necronaut Well aware, but that wasn't what I was saying. Take Inferno for example, he bomb blasts alot. If I'm correct, bomb blasting is where your hand is 1/2 the speed of both of your feet. Blasts generally have faster feet, not hands. But whatever, if you've heard more hands than feet, that's cool.

[@SasquatchLegend]

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

[@TheMorbidAsshole]

AIR DRUMMING TO THIS SONG CAN BREAK YOUR FUCKING LEGS

[@hatt69blasphemy]

The fucking blessed George! Hail this man

[@dwheeUSA]

Nile drumming is heart attack AED machine

[@metalguy625]

@shredmeover Marco didn't play on Epitaph, that was Hannes Grossmann. And George can play just about everything, He's well studied in jazz drumming.

[@Naaga88]

@Maledicted Yeah, well it's sad but true.

[@Joshtradamus99]

This man is not human.he must be stopped.

[@000sicair]

Fair enough. I concede.

[@neckface413]

@fnuggie I still haven't really gotten over them, but you're right, they are technically flawless.
