You can see the sheer raw love that Kevin has on his face for this track. How on earth he plays this EXTREMELY DEMANDING TRACK with single strokes is beyond me. Talk about endurance and willpower. \m/
Top 5 covers of this song.. but his pain shoes just how calm and how much endurance George rly has... he plays this and shows not one sign of wanting to stop... GK is my favorite drummer he’s too insane
Well the thing with practicing fast drums is it's all about technique, so if you just practice only playing faster you might not be able to go faster at some point with your current technique.
Yup, what grind said.... Balance and technique is EVERYTHING! Practicing all the fundamentals nomatter your experience is very key too. I've been drumming now for 12 years and I'm still working on specific endurance techniques and how to get the most out of as little muscle strain and work possible which is specifically derived from proper balance and form.
Now this is true 'rocket science' taken to unknown lands.. It is the creativity within that makes this drummer shine.. and the light is intense.. In my 53 years of drumming I have never seen anything on this level of mastery.
This guy is drumming for us on our upcoming tech death record "Fruit Of The Poisoned Tree". Tremendous excitement to have such a true blasternaut on our side. A play through could be in the cards once the final mix is in.
Heavy as hell!!! Great cover!!!! Headbang and happy new years congrats and greetings from Argentina end of 2022? Who is watching these on 30/12/22 at 5:05 am from Argentina??? headbang!!!!!
This 7 years old, still Astonishing playthrough,but don't you think its time for a current Nile one?!?!? You're set-up looks and sounds killer,now.The New playthroughs Fucking Slay!!!♥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
George kollias is a stud. snapping those snare accents during blasts, practically sprinting on doubles for 4 minutes, cymbals work out the ass. Awesome job recreating his style
man... that's the sickest drum cover of anything ever. I don't give a fuck how people say its only just speed and all that shit, Id like to see them do that. every note was perfect then and that bass drum, wow. keep it up brother and stay real!
Wow, one take. The fact it wasn’t super perfect gives it the character I like more than when everything is right on 100% all the time. Maximum respect for this old video.
Kevin I think it's time for a new Nile upload, now that you have the upgraded sound equipment, pedals, cymbals and hardware 😉😉🙏 how about "The Eye Of Ra"?
For those keeping score at home and who might not be in the know, Trick is a manufacturer of percussion equipment. Rejoice0In0Fire is not accusing Kévin of trickery.
It's awesome to see how different drummers set the traps up. Some guys are basically flat. Yours are higher than I've ever seen. Mine are about halfway in between. Awesome job tho man. You make it work🤷♂️
You and Jan Benkwitz share the only two decent recordings of this song. Good fucking job. I can imagine how much that had to hurt. Just imagine george practicing at that tempo for an hour at a time. ;-)
You are a devil drummer love it! Headband! Sauron and Voldemort and Lucifer are proud of you! You drum so strong that Lucifer looks like Justin Bieber Shao Khan is proud too! How did you separate your hands from your arms? Unbeleivable nice drumming pal
Best drum cover of this song on RUclips Kevin. All one footed blasts and pretty clean throughout. Cheers man, you're an incredible player, this is a tough song to get through (as are most from George). :)
WOW. Fuck the negative comments, u are full on beast mode. Playing the blasts with 1 foot ... what death metal band are u in and where can I hear them?
Phenomenal performance! Incredibly tight, fantastic tone (especially love the bass tone) and a pleasure to watch and listen to! Find it interesting that you have your feet in the middle of the pedals instead of a little closer to the beater, any reason there or just how you do it? Keep going hard! Super impressive. I done Death Metal drumming for quite a while until messing up my wrists and can appreciate a little of what you've gone through to get here :) Bravo!
The face you make when you're suffering but metal is life.
hahahaha...exactly what I thought.
You can see the sheer raw love that Kevin has on his face for this track. How on earth he plays this EXTREMELY DEMANDING TRACK with single strokes is beyond me. Talk about endurance and willpower. \m/
And single foot blasts too like Kollias. Respect to the OG!
Georges singles are via swivel pattern/method whereas Kevins is all ankle. Both are incredibly talented musicians.
The amount of discipline and training for this is insane. Great job and respect for anyone who even attempts a Nile cover
For having the balls to cover this song and executing it this well, I salute you sir!
Top 5 covers of this song.. but his pain shoes just how calm and how much endurance George rly has... he plays this and shows not one sign of wanting to stop... GK is my favorite drummer he’s too insane
GK drumming is unbelievable! But he plays not really interesting stuff. Not like Inferno from behemoth, for example
@@benjaminkottmann7381thank you for mentioning Inferno! He’s so underrated!
I know the answer is "practice", but I still gotta ask: HOW. IS. THIS. POSSIBLE?
Well the thing with practicing fast drums is it's all about technique, so if you just practice only playing faster you might not be able to go faster at some point with your current technique.

look at his face... so much suffering...
Play with fire.
He will turn to the Fart side of the force eventually
Fart Vader Terribly demanding this song at any level, you´re right.
*can even practice let alone master
This is a very Emperor Palpatine esq. comment. You know, when he's telling Anakin about the power to stop people from dying.
really accurate and clean, one of best drumming i've seen
I agree pal headbang!!!
And yet another master pulls off this monster of a song.....
I never noticed, but he plays snare equally well with either hand and switches back and forth depending on what the other hand is doing. Amazing!
Now this is true 'rocket science' taken to unknown lands.. It is the creativity within that makes this drummer shine.. and the light is intense.. In my 53 years of drumming I have never seen anything on this level of mastery.
your toms clearly aren't high enough.
Lmao I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking this
The shell depths are nuts on this kit. like i think he said it was a 12x12 and 13x13
He was going for the Pete Sandoval kit look

Such a magnificent beard! No wonder he is so talented. x)
well, then George Kollias' soul must have a beard instead or something :D
His beard is actually there, just not for the mortal to see x)
good point sir ;D
***** hairy guts.. Brutal!
This 7 years old, still Astonishing playthrough,but don't you think its time for a current Nile one?!?!? You're set-up looks and sounds killer,now.The New playthroughs Fucking Slay!!!♥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
sick intro and brutal one foot blasting which result in an absolutely amazing and brutal tech death metal performance. Stay metal
I just got a seizure and my limbs are cramping with crows. Bravo!
i can't tell if watching these makes me want to give up on drumming altogether or go practice until i can't play
RIP that guy's legs and bass drum head
George kollias is a stud. snapping those snare accents during blasts, practically sprinting on doubles for 4 minutes, cymbals work out the ass. Awesome job recreating his style
God DAMN man, unreal. Such control and energy. And George does a full set of this shit night after night
you, my friend, are a demon on the drums
George Kollias should watch this!
He would block him
@@borknagarpopinga4089 a proud blocker
All these professional drummers are well aware of the other talent out there.
Borknagar Popinga lmao
Absolutely best drum cover I have seen recently
The more I watch that, the more I adore it. Amazing job, man!!
I think I still watch this video at least once a week. Amazing job, Kevin.
man... that's the sickest drum cover of anything ever. I don't give a fuck how people say its only just speed and all that shit, Id like to see them do that. every note was perfect then and that bass drum, wow. keep it up brother and stay real!

God damn! Nice job! You’re nailing those Kollias parts!
Super!!
Simone ArcOndA Piras Simone!!!!
The Best Drum cover so Far for me gj man
My God man, motion blur in real time! amaizing performance!
that vibrating heel up strokes!!..most people opt for swivel or heel toe at these tempos..hats off!!..
That was absolutely amazing! Thanks so much for sharing.
i love those fills through the whole
song, they go like trrr prrmmm trrr prrm trrr prrrmmm multiple times, its lit
Kevin I think it's time for a new Nile upload, now that you have the upgraded sound equipment, pedals, cymbals and hardware 😉😉🙏 how about "The Eye Of Ra"?
I fucking love how this dude just goes nuts at 256 bpm
Outstanding footwork - Kollias would be proud!
This drum cover introduced me to Nile. I'm collecting all their albums as we speak haha.
Very good! Top top top. NILE, albun de 2009, faixa 6. Excellent cover!!!
my forearms caught fire just watching
no suffering... Kevin's a beast!!!! that's concentration
you can see that this hurt to play :P
Who writes these fucking drum lines?
@@thebigmoosy9706 George Kollias!
This is George Kollias's way of ensuring a contract with the band; he can't be fired because there's nobody else that would play his drum lines.
Your control is fantastic. killer cover, keep it up.
OMG this sounds brilliant! You're amazing!
i'm a guitarist and I never get sick of blast beats!
you are a wizard kevin.
jesus Christ - perfect drummer. Total great blasts
I've been watching this video nearly every day! My fav track from Nile and absolutely wicked cover! Cool push&pull technique too. Thumbs up (Y)
How powerful is that beard?
Powerful enough to play a nile song
+Vault Dweller Permitting the Noble Beard to Descend 'til it's on the Ground - Chin cover! :)
+DaveC lol what an awsme title maybe I should compose its song xD
That beard's power level is OVER 9000 (bpm)
if you play it at half of the speed you can see another arm reaching out of the beard here and there, filling up some strokes.
LOVE THOSE RACK TOMS!!!!! SICK DUDE!!!!!! KILLING IT!!!!!
Great stuff... Thank you for sharing!
Kev, you're a beast
He is the alfa of the Beasts the Beast bwtween the beasts!!!!
This is one heck of a good job!! Woah!!
Awesome cover 👌🏻 I'd be dead on the floor after all of that though 😂 I can't imagine playing a show and having to drum like this for hours
clean well play and fantastic
that's one hella blast beats right there... good job
Wow, insane job dude!
Those pedals look like trick pedals?
Yes !
For those keeping score at home and who might not be in the know, Trick is a manufacturer of percussion equipment. Rejoice0In0Fire is not accusing Kévin of trickery.
glassminimalist Maybe, but I still thinking this is a kind of sorcery. Idk
@@man_in_space HAHAH good one!!
my legs hurt from watching
It's awesome to see how different drummers set the traps up. Some guys are basically flat. Yours are higher than I've ever seen. Mine are about halfway in between. Awesome job tho man. You make it work🤷♂️
Excelente trabajo!!!!!!!!!
Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!
back in 2014, Kevin was only 98% beast.
Studio looks great! Suburb performance as always brother!
Боже, какая классная песня, какой классный ударник, какое классное исполнение, кайф от стука малого барабана
Как у нас раньше говорили, "ведущего" барабана ;)
Bravo Kev. And to think this is one of Kollias' easier songs to learn
Love your covers man! Good song choices.
love to see how you got better with the years
Awesome cover dude! Kollias makes it look so easy, but this must be a really tough one!
Awesome. Master of Masters!!!
You and Jan Benkwitz share the only two decent recordings of this song. Good fucking job. I can imagine how much that had to hurt. Just imagine george practicing at that tempo for an hour at a time. ;-)
Absolutely insane drumming Kevin!!!!!😊
It's truly hard..so much respect 🙏🙏🙏🙏
That was sick! You should cover more songs from that album. Like 4th Arra of Dagon or Those Whom The Gods Detest
Great drumming bro. That is amazing.
How are your limbs still attached to your body, Monster Musician?
That intro make me remind me piano of Aetheric Existence band of USA!
You are a devil drummer love it! Headband! Sauron and Voldemort and Lucifer are proud of you! You drum so strong that Lucifer looks like Justin Bieber Shao Khan is proud too! How did you separate your hands from your arms? Unbeleivable nice drumming pal
You sir, are amazing.
Finally an accurate sounding cover haha best Nile cover on RUclips, and I've seen alot of good ones. Keep it up man.
Best drum cover of this song on RUclips Kevin. All one footed blasts and pretty clean throughout. Cheers man, you're an incredible player, this is a tough song to get through (as are most from George). :)
You killed this! Awesome job, brother!
WOW. Fuck the negative comments, u are full on beast mode. Playing the blasts with 1 foot ... what death metal band are u in and where can I hear them?
Svart Crown / Agressor / Mithridatic / Death Lab / The Arisen
Enjoy !

Oumphf !! O_O' ... Chapeau Kévin. Une bonne année 2014 pleines de blasts, de toukatouka et pleins d'autres trucs ;)

Great work!
Phenomenal performance! Incredibly tight, fantastic tone (especially love the bass tone) and a pleasure to watch and listen to!
