    すごすぎて何がなんやら…
    普通の曲叩いたらどんなんなんやろか?
    Welcome To The JungleとかThunderstruckとか叩いてみてほしいなー
    ブラストビートせずに我慢できるんかな?

    I just love the comments slamming on George. He’s not the best ever, sure. But his material is on a lot of “stuff-I’ll-never-be-able-to-play” lists. I guess death metal is difficult for feeble minds.

    These guys think speed is everything in drumming, so no! Look at old drummers Budd Rich, John Broham, Keith Moon, Stewart Copeland. They're all about choosing speed 🤦🏼‍♂

    One inconsequential opinion…. snare: speed 'jumps the shark' when raw power, punch is sacrificed… compensating through the mix doesn't deliver the same energy… the spaces between notes are just as important as the notes

    Brutal Assault 2012…George's double bass pedal broke, and he didn't have time to set up a new one, considering the time is a limiting factor at big festivals. Not only did he finish the set using a single bass pedal, but he did it so well that many didn't even notice anything was lacking.
    He's THAT good.

    maybe the best drummer, but he is not the nicest person in real life. I was a big fan of his work. WAS. Untill i met him . . . A stick? no ! ! ! A picture? Eventually … but then got backstabbed by the TM. NEVER meet your idols.

    Ah, I really appreciate Kafir! was there at the end having that weird snare drum beat that I totally love. I think George has the best footwork in terms of double base, I will never get tired of them.

    What i hear from his playing. That's probably the reason why i can't get into extreme metal, just personal opinion
