As some of you know, I've been watching and getting into George Kollias' Intense Metal Drumming II DVD, and although I haven't sat through the whole thing yet, I'm wondering where this style of super fast drumming came from?
I listen to the guitar parts, and those don't sound too crazy, but the drumming literally just becomes this blur going on underneath the guitars. Does anyone have an idea how this style of drumming evolved? I suppose if you played your regular ol' 2 & 4 snare drum stuff instead of what George plays, it would probably sound a little dull, but then I start hearing some musical stuff when you take away the vibrating drums. It looks really cool, though.
Any ideas? It'd be interesting to see why people came to play this way.
