George Kollias - What May Be Safely Written (Intense Metal Drumming DvD)

[@edom7]

Anyone who really puts their mind to it will be able to do incredible things musically. Most of us just look at one of these musicians and think, "wow, we could never do this!" failing to realize that they started off flubbing through the basics like anyone does. It just takes a lot of time and dedication to get this good.

My favourite Nile song, always wondered how it looked behind the kit. He can hit one kicks faster than a lot of drummer's can do double kick

[@sarkardragon]

i'm not a drummer, but i'm a fan of kollias, he is a boss =)

[@Thatmetaldude590]

His neighbor disliked this video

[@sebbimon]

@Naaga88 He was a jazz drummer before i heard. There are videos of him playing some type of brazilian zumba, so yeah there are shitloads of other stuff that george can play.

George "Happy Feet" Kollias

[@sicmonstruo1]

the adventures of george and his magic feet

[@Naaga88]

@sebbimon He took lessons from the jazz master drummer, Yannis Stavropoulos :)

[@ElMario189]

Amazing

[@GSP199]

It does not make you go faster in any way. Speed is only in your ankles. Swiveling helps you keep balance and maintain speed in high tempos. i use this technique myself too.

[@6DAMMK9]

should be 10 times more viewer!!!

[@Naaga88]

@bluntedatbirth1 I'm sure those are the people who believe that George is all about blastbeats and double bass... but there are shitloads of other stuff that he can do...

[@bluntedatbirth1]

Out of almost 12,000 view, who the fuck takes the time to dislike this

[@Naaga88]

It's called the swivel technique, you can find a lot of explanations, tips and lessons on You Tube. I suppose he uses it to maintain balance while playing fast.

[@MattWeismiller1994]

It's a type of heel toe, gives extra hits.

[@MattWeismiller1994]

To where 'actual' damage is down to your knees that would be thousands of hours of playing in a short amount of time, like maybe 4-7 months. For example: It's similar to overdosing on weed, it's definitely possible in theory, but not possible in practice.

[@holmer666]

Wow. How does a person make that look easy? He must be possessed by Sebek. Ha ha

[@stevengarcia8428]

265 BPM

[@Naaga88]

@legiondemarraz i didn't make it... it came straight from the dvd, no changes

[@BleedingMem0ry]

Shoes with skill in them :)

[@MattWeismiller1994]

George Kollias explained it.

[@jasondartey3412]

Big George 😮

[@theSnaredrumde]

That´s highest power - mega turbo!

[@He4dB4nger95]

It is a natural motion, no heel-toe shit. he (kollias) said it at a clinic.

[@atrumluminarium]

nah... i think it's more for releaving the strain off of the Tibia (the bone under the knee) it hurts me too at certain speeds and when i throw in a swivel the pain litterally dissappears

[@thewarlord333]

@GiorgosdGG Its why hes wearing Nike's.

[@Noisysod]

I was just sick in my mouth a little bit

[@Harmonicaandstrings]

My head fell to the floor banging at 04:12

[@jasondartey3412]

Superstar😮

[@DarkMaster666x]

Batería al extremo!!! O.O

[@Captainsaucebuckle]

look up kinky lemon, thats how i feel about this video

[@thewarlord333]

He should run a marathon.

[@GiorgosdGG]

proud to be greek!

[@DiegoDLT]

air jordans lol

[@jasondartey3412]

The Ruler

[@ToXicGunsmith]

true. he did. but what's wit the hating? he is a monster at blast beats and in extreme metal cause that's what he likes to do. their is a video about a review of a new DW kit that shows D. Roddy and T. Pridgen and Pridgen plays blast beast like shit. each drummer practises on what he likes the most.

[@DavidHelldrummer]

I can play double bass just as fast as him! its not fucking hard....... unless you gonna play it for like 8 minutes straight and not like 2 sec xD

[@abyssPonderer]
