George Kollias - The Essential Salts (Intense Metal Drumming DvD)

George playing The Essential Salts. 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 :))

01:57 I literaly love this song just for this drum part

[@MrBannystar]

Me too, fcking incredible.

[@brunopires6328]

It is indeed rather creative

[@billcow3455]

One of my favorite drumming songs. Never seen someone blast on one snare like it's a high hat and keep time on an other. George is brilliant.

[@1972ibleedcrimson]

Hands down the best drummer of all time.

[@GalenIRL]

Calm down now. The best technical death metal with egyptian theme-drummer in the world. Id say inferno is in the same league

[@SkateSmokeAndDrum]

​@@GalenIRLGK is well above inferno, but Longstreth, Hannes, Minnemann, Diepold, and many more are on the same level as GK.

[@everybodypomarancze9355]

after 12 years... he's still the best drummer in this universe

[@harrymanbach]

I love how his drums are as musical as the guitars and adds to the melody with the fills. I wish all death metal was this melodic and tastefully done.

[@CobraOrochi]

It's amazing that his drumming doesn't make a hole in the time space continuum

[@aaactive8]

Kollias has to be the best technical metal drummer out there, definitely the quickest and tightest. Even though this video was recorded with a potato it still brings me happy in the pantalooms. Who says death metal isn't about happiness! \m/

[@tacosauce777]

what is a pantaloom

[@aaactive8]

@@tacosauce777 pants. underpants. underwear.

[@tacosauce777]

@@aaactive8 it's spelled pantalooN lmao

[@mrhairy1221]

That outro is the ultimate forearm workout.

[@raph444444]

The final part, with the fills and the crashs is Just fantastic!

[@semigret]

Honestly, do you know of anyone from any band metal or not that could produce a video like this? Account for the speed, the precision, and the stamina--there is no one else alive who could do this! I've listened to them all, I really believe it!

[@mileshouse666]

Such a smooth ending , the best

[@filipeduarte3188]

Unbelievable song and unbelievable drummer.

[@HerrByleth]

One of the very best drummers in the metal scene..

[@JoJoghetto]

One of my fav-Nile tunes!

[@beyond_the_tequila_rift3194]

The Al-Father of Extreme Metal and current metal drumming!!! George Kollias is a Drum God to me!!!! 🤘🙏🤘 He hands and heels down Dbl Bass drums with the strongest and hardest hitting tantacles!!! Amongst being a Drum God, he's also a Kraken!! Fucking metal bruh 🤘🤘

[@johnny_eth]

3 minutes and he's sweating... Imagine a one hour concert... overkill !

[@Abrahamhamham]

I'm sweating from just watching this

[@thomasandersondrums2260]

This is the warmup for him!

[@everybodypomarancze9355]

You know nothing John Snow

[@АлексейЛукьянов-е7ю]

Великолепная работа на ударных ! Больше половины в death metal делает ударник 🔥🤘🔥👍🔥🤘🔥

[@christophercarson7733]

This is why's he's the fckn master he set the level so fckn high definetly my fckn hero

[@Aaron_Gentry]

This man is superhuman, I would swear to it

[@garchibald3760]

If you stop seeing the world in terms of what you like and what you dislike and saw things for what they truly are , you will find a great deal more peace in your life. What I'm trying to say is that the truth is that KOLLIAS is the best drummer on the planet ! Deal with it.

[@carlossanchez7835]

+Djole Petrovic i think you are right, but not by far, Francesco Paoli is really close, and that bastard is about to 7 years playing only

[@carlossanchez7835]

+Djole Petrovic i think you are right, but not by far, Francesco Paoli is really close, and that bastard is about to 7 years playing only

[@sayanorasonic]

Carlos Sanchez is there any confirmation to that? I like Paoli but I just can't believe that

[@Villex93]

According to the theory of relativity when an object like the beaters of George's pedals near the speed of light the mass of the object increases almost infinitely causing distortion in time and space. This in turn causes a singularity better known as a form of a black hole. Black holes can't be defined by the physics of our time and require levels power and energy to control that we can't imagine. This proves that George is a drumming god.

[@Nightrideralf]

George, you are my hero.

[@pier2764]

The final part of the song is my ringtone

[@Naaga88]

Dass exactly what bought me!

[@slayermanbob]

That song is really cool. Thanks man.

[@nephrenqayin254]

I wonder if 66Samus could play this.

[@koloscsaszar250]

...

[@imapisces23]

upload em all man this is fucking awesome

[@neckface413]

Have you seen the clip of him playing a traditional blast pattern with his hands and his right foot while he plays a different pattern on the hi-hat with his left foot? Fucking insane, man...

[@virtualw0rld]

King of Kings

[@DisperseControl]

Greatest ever

[@XXXCRSPL]

The control he has at that speed is fucking mind blowing...I think he should be on that show Stan Lees Super Humans he would deserve to be..

[@sayanator]

Flying in the wind

[@Lemaninful]

Wow! In 2:45 it's breathtaking!

[@Naaga88]

@evolusean For your information, even if there are ads on this or any other of my videos, I'm not drawing any revenue. And, yeah, I'm not the only one who uploaded material from this DVD, but I put it nice and clear ,,I do not own this video and all rights go to George and the publishers of this educational DVD.'' It's simple as that. The only thing I got from putting up these videos are views, comments likes and dislikes. I wasn't legally pursued and I didn't gain any money.

[@davidpardy]

Yes.

[@naruto0o0o0o0]

his speed levels are OVER 9000!!

[@isitunez]

@semigret Behemoth's drummer : inferno cryptopsy's drummer : flo mounier dying fetus' drummer : trey williams

[@BleedingMem0ry]

You actualy can't imagine how hard i laughed when i read your comment,it made my stomach hurt. :D haha

[@thewarlord333]

@JonasOfSweden The gas pedal and the breaks was what I was talking about.

[@bananasack28]

he blasts harder with his right foot than i can with both feet...fuck

[@grindingvomitreflux]

1:38 All that demon speed he's playing with has broken his leg O_O

[@toothsnaggleer]

those who dared to dislike shall be rot.

[@85Aheadstix]

all the retards who still think the rev is better 😂

[@Wannalikemy]

+GamerDares wins Or Joey Jordison.

[@85Aheadstix]

TheNamelessYeti Actually Jordison is very good. Far more technical than the rev.

[@Wannalikemy]

GamerDares wins There it is. That may be so, but Joey still isn't that good. Compared to some 12 year olds I even know. Let's be honest, slipknot was some of the first covers, we drummers learned. It teaches easy, need to know basics, that anyone can learn.

[@85Aheadstix]

TheNamelessYeti Joeys better than most of the drummers in generic metal these days. He knows all of his rudiments and shit... he's no Donati or Lang but he's still quite knowledgeable. I never covered any Slipknot songs, i prefered Mudvayne covers. Mats drumming on LD 50 was WOW!

[@Alll6hope6is6gone]

Warning: Do not air drum to this video, your wrists will snap off and your feet will disintegrate.

[@sicmonstruo1]

thank you for this

[@johnnichols8553]

His sticks must be made of kevlar, because if they ever accidently touch each other they would catch on fire instantly. Does he have to replace his shoes after every song?

[@AQganon]

I'm surprised no one has joked about his footjob abilities.

[@plorex]

George has his own personal youtube account, so it's most likely that he's seen these videos.

[@888riddim888]

Watching this doesn't feel like "stealing" from George Kollias... if anything, it makes me want to go out and buy the DVD!

[@rodrigo6669]

Esse cara é foda demais

[@tommyXBOX360]

Much appreciated, it always feels good when... ***wipes saliva of keyboard*** ... I can make somebody laugh :)

[@Villex93]

Indeed

[@scaxxomaxx]

@thisisformusiconly Yep,and I'm Santa Claus.Do you want a gift? Ho ho-oh!

[@MattWeismiller1994]

This song has a lot of hammerblasts/bomb blasts at 260/270 bpm. Francesco Paoli does this on almost every song on Agony, this is within human limits.

[@e.m.gameplay6363]

dont have any hammer blast, only traditional blast and bomb blast :)

[@retrorenaissance9497]

this song is 245 bpm

[@TheGrimBassist]

I think that everyone reading your comment with think the same as you. Thank you for opening our minds. lol

[@scaxxomaxx]

@Naaga88 I ridden it,but this doesn't mean that you can publish the work of a musician that should be payed for free.

[@JustForComments666]

I bet he uses special pants. You know, just to not catch fire while playing...

[@semigret]

@85Aheadstix I think that's when I would have run for my life.

[@Mayhem136695]

Regarding his ability to play Smoke On The Water, if a song is under 190bpm, he becomes bored and deactivates.

[@bjorksven]

@thewarlord333 But if he'd be breaking all the time, what's there to be so scared about? :P

[@damagebrain1000]

kollias the hammer god......\m/

[@Vampire_born_in_2006]

I kinda like that band: Fleshgod Apocalypse. I will buy one of their albums. Thanks for advise guys, Kollias is still better by the way

[@dgonzala]

Francesco Paoli and george are both awesome. I like how they use different base drum techniques and destroy the drums.

[@NerfWarrior1096]

i think george is a descendant of an ancient greek god...only he is the god of drumming

[@BUTCHER2490]

PASADO DE CHINGON!!!!!!!!!!! --LESSON IN VIOLENCE--

[@Naaga88]

@MrXeqt Read the description ;) I do this because I want to promote George as a drummer, and I want to make this available to people who didn't have the opportunity to see more of his clips.

[@daekim3960]

oh shit... i should have followed your warning... i got an air drum elbow, which hurts worse than a tennis elbow.

[@scaxxomaxx]

@Naaga88 I don't think kollias would be happy to see this.I mean,they're all parts of his DVD,and it's not for free...he already uploaded some of his songs...

[@liamyates5544]

well.... who would've thought? i didnt know octopi could play the drums

[@scaxxomaxx]

@thisisformusiconly Yes,keep "just saying".It's just a 10 minutes preview,do you know the difference between a film and a trailer?

[@bjorksven]

@thewarlord333 I don't think his feet affect the engine too much... if we lived in flintstones-world, I would be scared just to be around though :P

[@ctzaaa]

the Ra of drums

[@Ulrikth]

Besides, many Nile songs alternate between extremely high speeds (240-280 bpm for the most part) and ridiculously low speeds (like downwards of 50-80 bpm). The thing you should question a Nile drummer about would have to be his ability to play common mid-tempo grooves.

[@Naaga88]

@scaxxomaxx Read the statement in the description.

[@TheOriginalKomamura]

This is way harder than Messhugah - Bleed!

[@KHfan4ever23]

Personally as a drummer myself, I'd have say that's bullshit. I'd have an easier time learning and nailing this song before nailing Bleed. Both drumming styles are totally different. Then again, that's just me. Haha

[@KHfan4ever23]

Maybe I just think that Bleed is harder for me to play than a death metal song?

[@lordsozehcp5362]

Ya I’d say bleed is harder... but it’s just impossible for most to ever reach these speeds here, by no means is this song easy either

[@Yakushiji123]

OMFG *-*

[@TheMarco1492]

you know im right miss

[@MrCwaigo]

George has Skills dude, He pratices every days, so no wonder pratice can make ya do stuff whatsover

[@Naaga88]

Personal taste is not worth arguing, but before you say anything, ask yourself can you do the same, or better. Of course not all types of drumming fit everyone, but this type has it's own characteristics, and if you don't like it - it's OK, just abstain yourself from shallow comments like ''this type of drumming sucks balls''.

[@666Metalbassist]

i think this guy burns more calories in a single show then michael phelps does in an entire olympics

[@MrXeqt]

haha this is first vid ever im worried about copyrights. Give George hes earnings ! Love the vid though ....

[@Naaga88]

@imapisces23 I have uploaded only the ones i didn't find on KZbin, you could find Ithyphallic and Laying Fire Upon Apep before. I have just completed the list :)

[@Naaga88]

@scaxxomaxx So, I'm speaking to George's attorney, right?

[@johnny_eth]

We need Maurício Weimar from @extreme_drums to cover this

[@teogt23]

HA! you should hear my grandpa... he has Parkinson

[@Naaga88]

You're welcome.

[@Akerzun]

@Naaga88 Yeah except you've uploaded entire song clips from the dvd, not to mention you have ads up on this vid so you are drawing revenue...

[@XeRo333]

what are some gr8 techniquez to become a faster double bass player and become faster with your handz with drummin' like George and what are the best pedalz to use for double bass????????????

[@BleedingMem0ry]

Okay i laughed the crap out of myself. :D

[@zolikar1]

@FoLuciousAnimus you mean gravity blast on the water?

[@scaxxomaxx]

@thisisformusiconly If there exists a worse category than assholes,it's assholes that think they're right. Go to his official site.You will find that Intense Metal Drumming is places in the STORE section.What a coincidence,right? The DVD is on sale for about 20$.If you download it from other sites for free,it's illegal.

[@NaxoAteo]

@ryder187mac its 248 to be exact

[@ItalianAvalanche]

@Naaga88 no probably just someone who respects music.

[@TheMarco1492]

First: I would never like to play like that, so no jealousy here Secundo: I dont know why your talking about trolling because it wasnt trolling at all

[@bjorksven]

@thewarlord333 But the car wouldn't accelerate hard enough to produce a whiplash man^^

[@RichardIsAlive]

I tried. I even used triggers. I even tried doing that feet wiggling thing. heel toe, I tried it all. my feet are just not fast enough. I got up to his snare/tom speed though, so I was so proud of that. lol

[@deathpriest667]

@chuckisGod451208 Naw nigga he can play that at his funeral while he sits in his drumset shaped coffin.

[@tommyXBOX360]

He is right!!! Don't do it, I had to type this comment with my tongue ;(

[@grape43soda]

Man, his calves must be amazing hahaha

[@Bluexhox]

The man is a marvel on the skins..

[@thewarlord333]

If he was driving a car, id be scared to be the passenger.

[@Killerniete93]

1:38 like a boss!

[@TheMarco1492]

how can u know if im intelligent or not only by a comment i post? every opinion is valid sir
