- Hello everyone,
this is another new song (a demo song) from my solo work. This is just finished, i actually wrote the guitars a few days ago and thought to do a drum video so you can see my new studio in Sountrap Studio's Drum Booths in Athens. The room is fantastic and the kit is my new handmade Pearl Masterworks....this kit is the one and only piece worldwide which i designed from the top, everything is completely custom and as you will notice it sounds amazing...!Even in this " ruff demo mix" no need to do much, the kit speaks for itself and making my life very easy!!!
The song is finished but it might change, every idea right now is temporary so changes might happen in all my songs. We will see what happens...As soon as everything is finished i'm getting in the studio to start tracking and the album will be mixed by the great Erik Rutan at Mana Studios in Florida.I am SUPER excited about that.....will post more news when we are progressing!
Thank you all and hope you enjoy it!
Special thanks to Vassilis Nikolakakis for making this video...
George Видеоклипы
Left foot: " Hey right foot! Do you need any help?"
Right foot: "No man! I've got this..."
Hahahaha
Left foot: OK fine, I'll just mess around polyrhythmically with these clappy cymbal things then jump on those bass drum up notes when the time comes
XD
Any foto. Jajajajjaja
that one-foot blast is killing me..
i like how his left foot is just chilling there, laughing at us viewers and is just like "yeah i COULD help but i dont need too"
it's hard to deny George is a milestone of a drummer
that moment when you realize his single kick is faster than your double :'(
Thank you all for the quick and positive feedback!
-The rides are the HH Leopard Rides, 22" on the right side and 20" on the left.
-Yes, Erik Rutan is THE MAN!!! I am so looking forward to work with him again!
-This song is a few days old, i don't know what will change but still thought to share this video.
-The Multi Pedal pattern is different than Aeons, it's reversed with accents on the Hi Hat. Nothing crazy, i would say sounds closer to "Laying Fire Upon Apep" than "Aeons".
Thanks guys
Good drumming bro ,I got to your speed and swivel technique in arms and legs n foot good strategy bro fosho I'm a amputee though now but relearning the double bass again wish me luck!!
The octopus is now jealous !
legendary stuff
I remember an interview with Tom Araya when "Reign In Blood" was released and he said "10 songs in 28 minutes - we feel we've set the standard for a thrash album. If we made it any faster it would be stupidly fast and it wouldn't make any sense"
I used to think Dave Lombardo was fast.
This is on another level.
I cant really get into the "extreme" speed stuff like Infant annihilator etc but I have to admire the stamina, technique, and work required to be able to deliver at this level.
IA is a drum machine and trigger sensitivized to the gills so that doesnt count
Idk about y’all, but this absolutely made my day.
It’s funny, in an interview George said he wasn’t happy with how the drums turned out on his solo album, he said they were good for complementing the songs but he didn’t get to go crazy like he originally wanted to. This makes me wonder how this song would sound if he played ambitiously instead of just following the songs with blasts and double bass. Hopefully one day he might release some covers of these songs where he plays what he originally wanted to do, that would be so sick
Acid Rain anyone would praise something half as good as these but george kollias standards...
NO!!! Don't quit! This is the kind of video that should make you try harder and better and faster and stronger! Go Kollias!
same here. the amazing thing about these guys is that they can play absolutely everything convincingly, despite their ability to play faster and more brutal than anyone else they can control themselves and still have all the feel and groove needed. a lot of fast guitarists lack this ability.
Best i'ever seen, isn't enough! George you are the undisputed king! You make all us Greeks proud! The world is yours! Your fans from Crete will always be there for you!
the 86 people who didn't like this are just jealous as hell. You all gotta live with the dislike and the fact youll never be anywhere as good as him. Rock on Sir Kollias, you revolutionised and artform my friend.
have you ever understood that people (like myself) think george's drumming is boring? I've heard thousands of blasts. Thousands of single stroke tom rolls and skank beats. It takes a real drummer to interest another drummer. Think Dan Foord, or Blake Richardson, or Jay Postones. They have interesting content not shock value speed, the first words out of my mouth when i listen to good drummers is "wow that was interesting" not, "wow that was fast"
Im not jealous of george, im jealous of all the drummers i mentioned.
Mate to be honest, I couldn't give a fuck who interests you. I'm praising George not you or your gay drummers. Don't comment on my shit again.
did you even read your previous comment? youre saying everyone who doesent like george is jealous..im telling you that you are an idiot and you are wrong. I realize now that I am dealing with an idiot.
howycwap I think George is a grest drummer but as you have said I don't believe he uses as many tools as he could in his drumming. you should check out nick pierce or alex rudinger they have pretty interesting styles. also trey Williams and adam Jarvis and kevin talley they got that groove. although on some points I agree with your opinion I still respect this drummer. I also respect your opinion. im gonna check out those drummers you have listed. thankyou.
deicidaldemon Check out danny walker of intronaut as well, and travis orbin, who i think you may know if you like rudinger. and chason westmoreland who I think has the best extreme metal fills. and navene koperweiss who was the drummer of animosity and later animals as leaders. some great drummers who I think are extremely well versed in speed and actual interesting content. my definition of talented and versatile
I really like this video, hes a METAL DRUMMER and plays exactly what I want to hear, fast and heavy. And to all those youtube experts, that knows and listens better drummers, let the rest of the fans enjoy this guy and post possitive comments.
Those scantish blasts that leads into his single foot technique, then finishing it off with a mirage of fills and a friggin full on blast beat assault!
I wonder if Mr. Lars Ulrich ever heard of G. Kollias.
Dude.
Kollias > gold
ulrich < shit [See how I didnt even write his name in capitals?]
Kris Seghers
you compare two alot different styles.
So youre telling me Lars can beat Kollias? trololololo xD
Kris Seghers
no, you do not get the point. Ulrich and Kollias are two very different drummers, it's useless to compare both.
Kollias can play ulrichs stuff but not vice versa. nuff said.
3:33 this moment
Yes! hell yeah!!
Tasty as fuck
Sore eyes from picking them up off the floor. That right FOOT!
I am here in 2024 and I’m still blown away by those single foot blasts. It’s so cool seeing this earlier video and now seeing the effect on the drumming world today, drummers like Eugene Ryabchenko and Ken Bedene using the same technique to this very day
My biggest regret is that Greece is unaware of a true talent like him! I have never seen anything about him in the Greek media! It's true that Greece eats its own children! In this case... a true master! I'm really so proud for you George!!!
πεσ'τα μεγαλε...παντως δεν μπορεις να πεις,τα ΜΜΕ της Ελλαδας,εχουν παρει συνεντευξη και εχουν καλεσει σε εκπομπες εναν απο τους μεγαλυτερους Ελληνες ντραμερς...μιλαω φυσικα για τον Τακη Κουβατσεα,τον ντραμερ της Βισση! τι να κλασουν μπροστα του ο Κολλιας και o Lombardo!
Φιλαρακι ειναι γνωστο....Τοσοι πολλοι μαλακες, σε μια τοσο μικρη χωρα! Ειναι δυνατον??? Ουτε ενα αφιερωμα σε εναν απο τους πιο ταλαντουχους drummer που εβγαλε ποτε ο αναθεματισμενος αυτος τοπος??? Σιγουρα δεν κανει για τις αηδιες τυπου "the voice" k
'YFSF" καθοτι κλασεις ανωτερος ο George απο καθεναν εκει μεσα που το παιζει κριτης! Τι να πω! Εκει που ντρεπομαι να λεγομαι ιδιος Ελληνας με ολα τα λαμογια, βλεπω George κ θυμαμαι πως ειναι να νιωθω λιγο υπερηφανος κ πραγματικα να χαιρομαι ανιδιοτελως για την επιτυχια του παληκαριου! Γιατι στην ουσια αυτο ειναι ο George Kollias,... συναισθημα!
I have a morbid sense of humor but I will say this. The hebrew word for Stone is eben, but they pronounce it as Auben. Which means father/son. "Why don't you turn these stones into bread?" Isn't Artos Greek for grain or flesh?
Stefanakis Nikos did he popular in Greece..??..
No Matt he is not so popular in Greece! I wish he was! But us Greeks we have a terrible sense of taste in music! Talents like George Kollias never get recognized as they should! Its sad!
That guitar rift is fucking brutal!
'Tis indeed
indeed... 3:30 wtf
I'm now less than 48 hours away from seeing this guy perform live...CANT WAIT!!!
Best double kick drummer in the world! Can't get over his style!
Thank you Mr. Kollias for your application to play in our band. Afraid we were looking for a little more talent and less slow motion drumming. Let us know when you attain supersonic speeds. [just kidding ... you're brutal]
there's a tiger inside him
Akárki akármit mond, George Kollias a világ egyik legjobb dobosa.
I hate when ppl say " o i quit" should inspire you to push yourself.. just because george is at this lvl believe me when i say u practice and devote urself u can be right there with him... no man is untouchable on an instrument
It has nothing whatsoever with being untouchable. Listen to what yr saying. Very few people ever rise to that level. Not everyone is even capable of it. Be realistic
@@Shayne_Mushin You absolutely can reach that skill level. George wasnt born that way lol. No musician is. Just as true now as it was over a decade ago. If ya have the drive and the time. But u are right in the regard of "not everyone is capable of it". And the reason is becuz they dont live eat and sleep drums the way george has. Skill is learned.
the best drummer in the world is greek!!!!
Maybe he´s the fastest.....but why is "fast" the same as "good". There´s so much else you can do with a drumkit, wich drummers like him can´t do. Maybe he´s the best in this style.......
No he's from Danmark and his name is Lars
Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool. I like your humour son and i am db drummer, too.
Κορίνθιος για την ακρίβεια
Eloy Casagrande
Ridiculous bass part
zoom into foot
He's doing it with one foot
jeebus
You must be new to watching/listening to George Kollias :P Lookup the old Nile songs ^^ Like annihilation of the wicked or my alltime fav THE ESSENTIAL SALTSSS haha
this guy is a proper death metal drummer
ever heard of nile - you know, the pioneers of technical death metal? he's their drummer, brother, and one of the best out there
Master Kollias. The man does it all.
1:38 :O
many people need 9 feet to do that.He does it with 1
Single foot blast beat
hail kollias
Happy birthday George!!
the best death metal drummer in my opinion
jesus christ on a stick, you do THOSE grind blasts with one foot
that
is that allowed
I can beer that here drum my hold
How can 49 people actually NOT like this...?!?
He is a God in drums!!!
I am in total awe of this man( and Derek Roddy), well all speed drummers really. I could watch him all day. Its just amazing to watch them. Maybe if I was 30 years younger and had plenty of time to practice who knows?
His once foot is faster then my two....
Fucking incredible
I saw Mr.Kolias at a gig in Hannover, germany. All the time before i only watched his videos on youtube but since that gig I was realy impressed!
I like the music, i here it while studing xD
normal bass drummer is deg deg degg deggg
but GK is berrrrrrr🤩
3.32 lets go tottal attack
wait... one more time
Right foot is on the fireeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ......
Γειά σου ρε Κόλλια Ελλάδα μας!!!!!
Simply the best.......
He has been to the Gate of Sethu and back, he has traveled on the spheres, he was walked in the pit. . . .he is the supreme human of megalomania he is, George Kollias. All other pussy drummers quiver in fear as he politely graces them with his presence.
When you sit down at your drumkit to try to play along you realize how big of a noob we are, this guy is insane
G.Kollias + M.Akerfeldt = Game over.
1:44 I thought George was the best death metal drummer in the world. That part hit and then I KNEW he was. He just hits so hard and fast live that it boggles my mind! Hell of a human being!
My favorite part is from 00:00 to 5:34
Fucking amazing, George =)
I can appreciate the endurance and speed at which he plays but I got tired of him using the same rolls and just overall lack of variation throughout the song. It might just be the genre which i'm not really that into but I think Peter Wildoer and Dirk Verbeuren are just miles ahead of everyone else in terms of their creativity and finding ways to really get inside the groove. Just my opinion
I agree with this to a degree.. but at the speeds he's playing, any other fill simply wouldn't or couldn't be distinguished I would imagine
I think you could actually. I mean, I could tell he was playing pretty much the same thing by ear so it would make sense that I should be able to hear anything he does differently. And still if what you say is true then wouldn't the speed be just limiting what you can do?
I think its just your taste in music mate,for a death metal drummer he has great variety in this piece
Don't think so! He is creative too within death metal's boundaries. It's another thing that this music is boring as hell, only Kollias saves it.
Yeah, I think I just find Kollias boring
he is not human!! hell yeah!
George's brutal BLAST BEAT !!!!!!!!!
But...can you play War pigs?!?!?!?
he has a jazz band also so yes he can play war pigs also
hey are you really a HUMAN?
Dude, he's a Greek demigod and we all know it!
I love you George.
The best drummer in the world!
Too much switching cammera angles ruins this video.
As much an amazing drummer he is, he always does the exact same snare-toms-snare-toms-whilekeepingtimewithbassdrum -fill, it gets boring.
Blast beat drumming is pretty repetitive mate
mamma mia...hail from italy george...always perfect and brilliant...
a beast!!! not human!
I admire his speed and skills but sonically I can't really enjoy his songs that much, it's just too much shit going on for me lol sounds more like a drum solo than an actual song imo
Good ol George,never fails to impress. He can easily keep up with all the greats,like Roddy,Hoglan,Reinert.
The best death metal drummer!
Them blast beats though. Wooooo!
I enjoy every single video!!
just now came across this g. kollias video. omg...killin it on the Dset
George, you are my blessing and my curse.
May the God's bless you.
wow! what a drummer! That`s amazing. Very cool!
a fucking god, this band is unrivaled - a must see live. SO MUCH RESPECT.
That foot control is insane.
Such a drumming god!
mind blasting bhai!!!!!!!!!!!!!! totally mind blasting bhai we will not see such to come in now century by century wow, something of the wild tiger womb he is born !!!!!!!!!!!
Just by ear you can tell is Kollias the drummer, He has such a distinctive way to play.
totally mesmerised
Is the most beautiful snare i've heard before
Love that gradating ending starting from 4:44. First average speed blast, then hyper speed blast, and then bomb blast or what it is with second guitar coming in. Really nice. I wish if final bomb blast from 5:21 till the end was longer, without any disruption, accents, fills. Just pure blasting.
Just wow...
you got that right, chuck! Im behind you
The roar of the bass at 1:16 relay get my adrenalin going!
I'm pretty sure he beat those bass drums' heads more times in this video than I will on my drumset in all my life...
This is power!!!
Love this song!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰🤘🤘
BRUTAL!
Yeah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
man i love that one foot+blast!!
He single foot and double bass is ridiculous fast. Best drummer!
dayum.
intro sounds like a variation of the laying fire upon apep groove, I dig it
Awesome!!!!!
in my humble opinion, this is really cool!
Wow dude, you published this on my birthday! HELL YEAH!!
Amazing that 3/4 foot step foot work is incredible you are one of the legendary gods of drums.
BEAST
Glad that I checked this out!!!!
kicks ass, this is extreme art
Damn! You're a monster George!!!!
