 * George Kollias. He only does the blastbeats one footed. For the normal double bass stuff, he does it two footed. However, what's even crazier is that he only uses his ankles when drumming at this speed, when nearly 95% of all drummers would have to use their whole leg. To give you an idea of how insane that is, in the song "Kafir," there is a section at 280 BPM, during which he plays a section of solid 16th notes, again, using only his ankle for motion, obviously using both feet. To put this in laymen's terms, and to demonstrate how insanely difficult that is, try to sit down, and using only your ankle as the fulcrum of motion, attempt to tap your foot to the ground nine times in one second. Now try to perfectly synchronize your other foot one eighteenth of a second off. Then do it a little bit faster than that. We'll be waiting.
