Kai Hahto-Some Jazzy stuff 

I admit that I have a crush on the work he does with Jari and the other guys in Wintersun 🥰 Epic masterpieces, that not seldom, has to be listened to more than once to see the geniousity ❤️❤️❤️

With a band, jazz is unbelievably fun today. Just about all metal techniques come from jazz (blasts, double kick, and more) and most of the best drummers are jazz drummers Kai is awesome

Great stuff man, really nice independance there as well, without losing feel for dynamics/groove. Keep it comming Kai you know we love you :)

A true musician likes all kinds of different music. Nice work Kai!

My favorite drummer EVER.

o_O ...excellent drum kit and performance, thanks for sharing.

i love how versatile he is. grindcore to melodeath to jazz. im sure he can play any other style as well.

Everyone can play fast, very fast actually. But only a few can do something skillful and cool like this :) Keep up the good work!

that's pretty sweet. my friend's an awesome jazz drummer; i'll have to show him this. if you guys haven't heard Peter Erskine, look him up. he used to play in Weather Report.

Smooth!

For him it must be hard to play on a small set like that. Lots of respect for you.

that snare looks like a flying saucer how high it is positioned, omg!

Like a Lot!

are you endorsed thats a beautiful kit

You forgot to state that's the best drummer in the world. Otherwise, you are right.

Nice one man. Nice kit aswell. =)

Hey Dude, I'm often listening to some good jazz, like Pat Metheny, or Carmen Mcrae, and I really . damn.. like it! Much luck with Time. Cheers from poland, Kamil.

Thank You for inspiration, I think I record a song. I had some guitar ideas after listening

I think that's the way it should sound.

You're amazing.

i'm sorry, i meant 1:58 not 0:58! ;)

Hail to the Hahto xD

This is Kai Hahto. Drummer of Wintersun (my favorite band), and formerly from Arthemesia and Rotten Sound. Among many other projects. He doesn't need any tips XD

Kai: Nice drumming. I like the sound of your kit. Is it the Pearl Master maple 4 ply shells with re-rings? How do you like the kit, and what made you choose it over, say, Yamaha or some other company? One of my favorite jazz players used to use Pearl, Matt Wilson, but he's now with Craviotto. Anything you don't like about the Pearls? Thanks!

Kai Hahto is Wintersun's drummer. Only the best for the best. Naturally. ;)

Wonderful stick and hand technique, always loved your work. The kit sounds wonderful, what cymbals are you using in this video? They sound excellent.

awsome

Bravo!!

AGREED!

Groovy

Kuulostaa vitun hyvältä Kai! Harvoin näkee deathmetal-rumpalia ketkä uskaltaa leikkiä muun musan kanssa kun "oman". Terveisiä Ruotsista!

nice

@ghostrider655 pretty much. blues will also come extremely easy to most ppl

Kai, you fucking own.

You should make a Jazz-Grind project. ;)

Him hitting the tom? Ooooo, what's the big deal in that? It made it sound better, haha.

fuckin' awesome!

Very nice, as alaways =)

kai is the most fucking awesome drummer ever dude

Word :P

Nice....:)

the bass drum sounds like a floor tom

Yea I still don't know what you mean but you're right people don't deserve to listen to music if they can't appreciate Wintersun. (At least I think that's what you mean.)

Damn! Nice playing! I have a question, are you right or left handed? Did you make this up or what? I can't move my left foot that fast!

Kai is Left handed.

i don't want to flame here, but i think 0:58 that hit wasn't on purpose :P anyway, kai ur a god!

Not jazzy, but JIZZY

JessetheGimp wtf are you talking about? What does guitar hero have to do with this?
