LouisvilleDrummer.com brings you exclusive coverage of the 2012 World's Fastest Drummer - Battle of the Feet competition at the Summer NAMM Show in Nashville, TN.
The Nightmare they have a sign posted in the guitar section saying for “dive bombs” and “no stairway to heaven” in the drum area mostly just wanna be drummers trying to work a double pedal as fas they can, I saw a kid try it, but it was poorly set up display. The kid ended up destroying it. A lot of the kits are on display, with signs that read no touch or playing, but people do it anyways. And really it’s just a store to go and play keyboards all afternoon!!! Can’t remember when I was last there but the guy who worked there k ew less about drums, almost like he was a new hire I felt bad having to do his job for him.
After watching so many death metal drummers do way faster while playing their snare and cymbals, I am very underwhelmed. Also, many extreme metal drummers could actually pull off these speeds with an audible kick drum.
+Nick Kapp >with an audible kick drum well uhh... you realize they have to use a trigger to count the hits? theres no choice.. and they do that using the heel-toe method, which is banned in this competition
***** Yeah, I think Kollias is one of the very few people who can actually hit with force at insane speeds. It's amazing. To reply to Steve, I Don't think it matters if they are using triggers to count it, because the aforementioned George Kollias uses triggers, but his drums are still very audible when he plays acoustically, see "The Making of Things the Gods Detest" for proof.
Most death metal drummmers use a technique called heel toe which uses double strokes. You can go insanely fast with it with little effort. In this competition, they can only use single stroke so they cant go as fast. Unless they practice singles a lot and is their technique for fast tempos.
At first, I looked in awe and thought, "what am I doing with my life?" But then I realized that it's a competition to see who can hit a drum really fast and I thought, "never mind me, what are they doing with their lives?"
TheShadowWalker Announcer: "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN IT LOOKS LIKE A KEYBOARD WAR HAS BEGUN BETWEEN TWO GENTLEMEN, TheShadowWalker and Melefono. LET THE WAR BEGIN."
I'm not jealous of any drummer, no need to be. But I would be impressed if they could actually play those notes to a metronome and keep it in time, that would be more impressive.
Would you rather: Be condemned to sit through this competition for all of eternity Or Be condemned to sit through a vaping competition for all of eternity
so true bro- fast double stroke does not make you a drummer:)All they do is sit there training this all day to break record none of them plays real fast music..
Agreed, it's like a squares a rectangle but a rectangle isn't a square type of thing, If you have skill you can play fast, but if you play fast it doesn't mean you always have skill.
Jack Blackburn is the drummer for death metal band VITAL REMAINS...the man is an incredible drummer and is lightning fast. was very cool to see him play live!!!
I could easily crush most of these guys and I'm not even that good. Especially if the rules are (as they appear) flat foot technique, sloppy as you want
Are you fucking kidding me... most drummers from youtube (Kollias, 66Samus, MorganvanHelsing, Bram Trommelen, Patrik Fält, etc.) could literally destroy them. And you call this the "World's FASTEST drummer finals". Come on, that's embarrassing.
Mike Caputo Have you watched any of his covers and drum playthroughs of songs such as Cuntcrusher and Decapitation Fornication? Someone doesn't know how to use the internet lol
So because you can't afford an electric kit because your parents hate you and won't buy you one everyone who has an electric kit is instantly cheating???
The questions I have are: 1) How long is the duration at which your supposed to drum? 2) Are you allowed to heel/toe? Or just single strokes like all of these people?
Worlds fastest drummers more like worlds fattest drummers and hitting the bass drum fast doesn't mean your a fast drummer I mean you they could have used a real drum or a electric drum
5:15 it's all fun and games until a trve kvlt drummer shows up
He actually plays in death metal bands
@@borzydar1196yep. Jack Blackburn. Played in Inferi, Demon King, Unaligned, Vital Remains, and many other tech death/black metal bands
jesus... its like working at guitar center again...
Jon Myers lol went there today got a distortion pedal for my guitar
Hahahahahahahahaha fuck guitar center
Austin Grasty fuck you
I've never been to one... What happens at guitar center?

i feel dumber just from watching the first 15 seconds of this.
Dude im with you on that one
U S A
why?
any decent metal drummer could smoke this contest.
Justin McNeil Smoke this!
The funniest shit would be if George kollias comes up and no one knows who he is and he destroys everyone
I was actually gonna say that haha either him, the dude from infant annihilator, or Shannon Lucas.
+the concept of failure you mean Aaron Kitcher?
+Cody Crumpton or hellhammer
+Cody Crumpton as insane as George is, is best has been around 300 bpm, these guys are in the 5-600s
+Abbadon the Destroyer 300bpm is not the same thing as total hits.
Not a lot of salads eaten in Louisville
eating salads dose not make you skinny dipshit
yamaha kodiak replacing junk with salad does
yeah! and Pandas are the proof that eating salad doesnt make you skinny
Brannigan Farnsworth i eat salad and im not skinny
Fatties detected
I thought the title was worlds fattest drummer.
By the looks of everyone, it's both competitions
Nick andCory lmao a hell lot of us did XD
* little chair collapses *

@@jackjones8 check out Eugene ryabchenko's drumcover to demolisher. fucking singles on 300 bpm

90% of decent metal drummers would wipe the floor with this competition.
For some reason, I misread this as world's "fattest" drummer, haha.
you arent far off
I wonder why
Fattest or fastest?
This is closer to world's fastest grape stomper than drummer...
why did I just watch this..I am sad..I need a cucumber sandwich,......
Can kick 870 in a meter but can't read 6/8 music
so basically you could also bill this event as "fastest restless leg syndrome" competition. lol in which if I were there I would win haaa
not quite my tempo
Double time swing
That's okay. let's try again.......bit early.
***** whiplash
get out my class you piece of sh*t
I love that movie my man I play
Needs more cowbell.
Very true my friend
Melefono I got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell
TheShadowWalker Announcer: "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN IT LOOKS LIKE A KEYBOARD WAR HAS BEGUN BETWEEN TWO GENTLEMEN, TheShadowWalker and Melefono. LET THE WAR BEGIN."
I love the Jarrod Alonge reference
what the heck did I just watch lol
2012 World's Fastest Drummer Finals - Battle of the Feet
THE CREATER OF THIS VIDEO OWS ME TEN MINETS OF MY FREAKING LIFE
Quick 100 Easy 100
A bunch of pathetic posers who think theyre real musicians. I watched it too and now I think I have eye cancer.
Behind the Scenes SAME.
I hate when a musical instrument becomes a competition that doesn't exactly entail playing music.
***** ...Fucking hell that's stupid.,..
You don't only have to do what is meant to be done on things, you should just do what you want. AKA what they're doing.
it is only about the kicks in a minute.. you don't even have to play them tight. So fucking pathetic! what a waste of time.
I think someone is a bit jelly lol
I'm not jealous of any drummer, no need to be. But I would be impressed if they could actually play those notes to a metronome and keep it in time, that would be more impressive.
Would you rather:
Be condemned to sit through this competition for all of eternity
Or
Be condemned to sit through a vaping competition for all of eternity
Both please
This drum comp. Cause I would win.
wardkdouglas oh NO
Vape comp would smell good
wardkdouglas vape
There's no way that this was the worlds fastest drummers
Hate to break this to you all but just because you have fast hands/feet doesnt mean you're a drummer.
***** In what way?
so true bro- fast double stroke does not make you a drummer:)All they do is sit there training this all day to break record none of them plays real fast music..
Danimal McHockey u really dont know about drummng im telling you fast hand or feet doesnt make u a drummer
Agreed, it's like a squares a rectangle but a rectangle isn't a square type of thing, If you have skill you can play fast, but if you play fast it doesn't mean you always have skill.
so true
For me, Pops taking 4th after a drum off is the most impressive performance of the contest.
LMAO that´s why YT is so great...where could i see this 10 years ago?? this was hilarious..im a bit traumatized but happy
Aaron Kitcher. Look him up.
I am so ecstatic that Im th not the only one thinking that.
+Thomas Knapp Haha awesome. Yeah there are alot of Metal drummers out there that would crush these people in speed.
XgamerX dude fuck yeee. although he can't play his shit live, it's still worth a try if he were on this.
yeah im sure he would still win lol
Aaron Kitchen?? lmao ever heard of triggers?
Dude imagine a speed metal drummer doing this
Is speed metal even that fast though
George Kollias and Tim Yeung laugh his ass while watching this
Worlds fastest and only americans are competing........... and by the looks they arent even drummers.... facepalm
[WG] xunit omg! that is a good point. damnn
[WG] xunit more like world's fastest and they are kids
[WG] xunit sont judge a book by its cover
Mystic Goose dont get me wrong.. by the looks i meant the way they hit the foot bassss... not very wel.. its just a Stupid competition..
[WG] xunit it's in Kentucky you dittz, there are no foreigners in Louisville
George Kollias , Tim Yeung , John Longstreth , Flo Mounier and more fastest drummer like them.. That must be the best battle!
Bad posture everywhere.
Everybody had a f*ckin QUICK ONE HUNDRED!!!
Aaron kitcher would destroy this competition
I was about to say the same thing but then read yours oh well. But yes yes he would rucking rape these noobs
Pretty sure double strokes aren't allowed in these competitions.
@@Avliv_Satan even with single strokes he could go at double speed of this lmfao
Lool
Aaron kitcher 320bpm is totally fake
Where is george kolias ?
tragos tragakis George would've won this with one foot
fudrock he's old news, same with aaron kitcher.
Someone call up Gene Hoglan. And tell him to leave the ankle weights at home.
finally someone with a real name drop instead of the slipknot fan boys.
MrSir2552 True but I don't think he would touch those Axis pedals.
Where is George Kollias?
in Athens, Greece
bruh i thought i was the only one who thought about george \m/
The former guitarist of his band Nile was my neighbor
That guy would go the double of this speed easily lmfao
world fastest drummer what a joke XXD
Inferno
Gene Hoglan
George Kollias
Dave Lombardo
Nick Barker
While they are way faster than me, these older guys are extremely awkward to watch..
Nice that you covered this !
Worlds Fastest Feet:
Aron Kitcher: hold my beer
Where's the rest of the drum kit pfft
shadow play 77 that's what I thought
Jack Blackburn is the drummer for death metal band VITAL REMAINS...the man is an incredible drummer and is lightning fast. was very cool to see him play live!!!
Why even have this competition when gene hoglan exists
because Derek Roddy and George Kollias also exist
My feet never stopped moving the entire video
None of these guys are near the fastest by a pretty good margin. Plus they all kicked so soft you would never hear them without triggers.
Necrometalfist they didnt all kick soft, its obviously muffled
I know plenty of metal set players that can go faster than this
+shaquan talbert What about the fact that there wasn't 1 black person and we know there are faster.
+Ahman Millener because all of the fastest black people play sports. Lol
Lars can play faster than this
I could easily crush most of these guys and I'm not even that good.
Especially if the rules are (as they appear) flat foot technique, sloppy as you want
What type and style of pedals are being used for this purpose
Infant annihilator: laughs
george kollias will be laughing to this shit
Are you fucking kidding me... most drummers from youtube (Kollias, 66Samus, MorganvanHelsing, Bram Trommelen, Patrik Fält, etc.) could literally destroy them. And you call this the "World's FASTEST drummer finals". Come on, that's embarrassing.
2 0 1 2
+Hunterr 2012: Derek Roddy still existed
I wanna see Samus destroy them
Can u really have a Worlds Anything Competition in someone's basement?
How long was each turn? Is that 870 beats a minute or was it 30 seconds?
Those people are really lame. There are way faster drummers out there.
***** i don't have to, those who claim to be the best shall do
***** ye, but there are drummers out there, like George Kollias (no i dont listen to death metal) who would beat them easily
***** well, they're not actually drumming in this vid, so it makes it lame for me
Jonas Scheffler Actually...
Aaron kitcher is the besssssst!
Two words: Aaron Kitcher.
You mean the guy who records all of his drum parts 1 bar at a time? Yawn.
Mike Caputo Have you watched any of his covers and drum playthroughs of songs such as Cuntcrusher and Decapitation Fornication? Someone doesn't know how to use the internet lol
Mike Caputo Have you seen his other drum covers?
XpOZeIBeAsTx Do you even read comments?
So because you can't afford an electric kit because your parents hate you and won't buy you one everyone who has an electric kit is instantly cheating???
Best impersonation of someones who's just come out of the pool and there's a cold breeze.
how do I sign up for one of those?
playing so fast but you can barely hear it
Mackelroy McJohnstonson there not allowed to use special techniques, it's just straight downstrokes
They're*
IS THAT A JOKE?
fallen prophecy wrong. So so wrong. You still need amazing technique to have really fast singles.
Still wondering how the fuck I ended up here
somebody give that lady a medal for cheering
This is actually footage of a cutting edge therapy class, aimed at RLS sufferers. You should see the essential tremors class they do!
I wanna see aaron kitcher go up n try :D
HELL YEA
don't forget to pay the lady!!
1:52 dads like "finally here's my moment I'll show you guys who called me fat!" (Middle finger raised in the air)
7:14
When you're done but she keep going
I thought Jackie Chan was the referee.
Not quiet my tempo
is heal toe legal for this compition if so then how come no one is using it
name of the intro track?
Dave Lombardo, The Rev, Joey Jordison, and Christian Coma could easily destroy these people.
Lol... Flo Mounier.
So?
John Longstreth Bitch!!
Scott FUCKING Travis
joey jordison uses triggers. couldnt even hear it if it was natural bass.
this is like twerking but for drummers world
+ERICK GALLEGUILLOS hahaha damn son you're right!
You know when all of a sudden you think how did I end up here
Is heel-toe allowed in those (this..) competition..?
We need Aaron Kitcher to be in these competitions
where's Aaron kitcher when you need him?
how is the a drum comp?
if joey and the rev join this xD
Then that would be awful
That's would be awesome
I believe you mean mike mangini
Swean Calvin for real😂
Swean Calvin naw if the drummer from the French band henker were to do this itd be over kill
lets throw aaron kitcher in there
how about we don't cause he's a trash drummer
wasnt about his skill. It was his speed. I bet hes better than you.
Oh I know hes better than me. In terms of speed, he'd do good here, but in terms of skill, he's not that good.
NitroCarwash
So what do you think this competition is about ? ...
Aaron would lose to many drummers when it comes to speed. Hes very mediocre.
can't even hear the drumming beyond the yell of the crowd
were they not allowed to do double strokes? the pedal is long enough for them.
Im supposed to be doing Algebra 2 homework and I'm supposed to be in bed rn
Aaron Kitcher FTW!
lol wtf did i just watch 😂
Guy at 1:53 looks like he belongs in Jurassic Park
Me when I have to hold in a piss
Joey Jordison would take 1st easily
true
No aaron kitcher will.
>Joey jordison
>1st in double bass
Ever heard of George Kollias?
Welp, everyone has to start somewhere.
MrNoxxis ever heard of Aaron kitcher
someone bring deathmetal drummer here
1:21
Why am I watching Jimmy De Santa in a drumming competition at 1 in the morning in a jacuzzi?
The questions I have are: 1) How long is the duration at which your supposed to drum? 2) Are you allowed to heel/toe? Or just single strokes like all of these people?
Yes, that's insane. If heel/toe was optional I was going to look into entering one of these competitions. Thank you Janos Dm
I can't hear the kicks.
because there barely hitting the head
Worlds fastest drummers more like worlds fattest drummers and hitting the bass drum fast doesn't mean your a fast drummer I mean you they could have used a real drum or a electric drum
would double stokes count?
I can outpace all of them when I have a bout of epilepsy.
djent gods
Lee Stanton would win easy
he is much faster than these wanna be's
His note subdivision live is sloppy though
576? Was that his score or weight?
where was lord marco during this?
The Rev would've destroyed people in this competition. RIP JIMMY
true
+PhillyUnion767 . why ? cos hes dead or a better dummer ?
better drummer of course
Zodiack Wada
+PhillyUnion767 So would a lot of drummers. And a lot of drummers could destroy The Rev.
I wonder how good Michael J. Fox would be at this...
ATEnt IM DONE 😂😂
ATEnt Just make him talk and he'll be basically the flash
disrespect is real
Fucked up but funny. In bad taste? but classic.
SwiftSloth that's a fucking sorry ass comment dude!
this inspires me
