Metal Dude * Musician (REACTION) - JINJER - Pit of Consciousness (Live in Kiev) | Napalm Records 

I'm an older musician. I've said many times that Jinjer are one of those "once in a generation" gamechanger bands. 🤘

It lines up pretty closely with what Tati talked about in a 2018 interview with Psychology Today called "Crushing Concrete with Jinjer's Tatiana Shmaylyuk" though the song was directly based on a poem from when she was a teenager and feels like her mental health struggles had mellowed out in the interim. Also in recent interviews since meeting Alex Lopez she seems more calm and confident so I'm guessing she's made more progress since.

The hi-hat part you're talking about around the 8:00 mark is actually an auxilary hi-hat that is set up beside the bass drum and very low to the ground. He uses it for washes and that kind of stuff a lot, and hence why you don't see him hitting a hat with his sticks during that section. His drum setup and approach are pretty unorthodox in general especially for a metal / rock drummer. Crazy to think the dude hasn't really been playing drums for very long comparative to his talent at doing so

Jinjer - On The Top (Live in Kiev) Jinjer - Who Is Gonna Be The One (Official Live) Jinjer - Judgement & Punishment (Tatiana One Take Vocal) Jinjer - Teacher Teacher (Official Video) Jinjer - Captain Clock (Live at Resurrection Fest 2018) Jinjer - Cloud Factory (Official Video) Jinjer - Outlander (failure .color Video) Jinjer - No Hoard of Value (Official Lyrics Video)

Oh if you have a cat my suggestion is Jinjer's video Judgement and Punishment One Take Vocal Performance. You'll see why. This one is a dark song so she went dark. Imagine being alone in the woods at night and hearing those sounds. Of course the typical Jinjer fan would probably yell out "Tati is that you?" just before getting eaten by a ten foot skinwalker because of course it isn't her.

Well, when Tatiana (the main lyricist of the band) had to create the lyrics for this track she can't choose the theme. So she dove into her old notes and found an essay or story she had written years ago. She has a diploma in literature, you know, so she's kinda used to make some notes, essays etc. All we know about it that was a story about the mind issues. Then Tatiana recreated it as a lyrics for this song. Try another great song from the same show called "On The Top". It much more impressive live (particulary at this concert) than OMV.

Bro you remind me of myself when I first got into Jinjer a year ago. I was blessed that they were playing near me (well, 4 hours away) just two weeks after I discovered them. There's just nothing not to love about this band. I agree with your comparison of Vlad with Neil Peart and Danny Carey. You can see in this video that Jinjer is up there with Rush and Tool for live performances. You should definitely check out the playthrough videos. They're insane.

She holds that end growl for 8 seconds and notice how it's completely linear-even and no waver or cracking.

You are a real music lover and musician, as a musician I really enjoy seeing and hearing your reactions to Jinjer...... lovely greetings from germany

"Noooo, I don't want that to be over" . 4 minutes goes by so fast. 🤣. Rewind and watch it again.👍. Also means you saw the 2 song recommendations (twice) on screen , for Vortex and Call Me a Symbol. I have to concur with those suggestions. lol. Vortex is one of my favorites.

👍👍JINJER scares me in a good way.😉 🖖❤

One of my favorites, Tatiana's voice is insane

Great reaction sir !! You gotta check out their OMV for " mediator" Vlad goes FULL beast mode on the drums !!!! 🤯🔥🔥

Jinjer doing Jinjer things! My favorite performance of one of my favorite Jinjer songs!

Hi. Jinjer is something special. In a lot of band when you've got 2 or more top talented people, they "fight" one vs the other to get the most shine. In Jinjer all 4 are among the best, and they work ( from writing to execution) to let every one take the part of the shine he/she diserve. They've gone trough a lot of shit during their carrer so it's maybe the secret. (sry if my English is not perfect, not native tongue :) )

Yes thanks for doing this one! Although it's hard to choose, this has to be my favorite Jinjer song! This gives you some idea of how good they are live. Tati's vocals rattle the walls and the guys are next level! I can't wait to see them again. I agree with some below, please check out "Captain Clock" life at Resurrection Fest.

"Who is going to be the one" live has some of their best instrumentation. Not as complex lyrically, but man is it a punch to the face

Great reaction!!!

You have to see them live. Their videos, while well done, do them no justice. Seeing them live is absolutely mind blowing!

next react captain clock live ressurrecion fest

The music video is awsome to check it out bro💀💀🤘🤘hail to the queen

💙💛

Such good reactions 😊 Would love to see you check out Roman’s playthrough of this - he’s one of the most efficient players I’ve ever seen. It’s so inspiring.

7:55 Yeah, Vlad _loves_ the sound of a steady hi-hat tick amid the chaos... so much so that in order to get it super-crisp, even live, he has a second hi-hat, way down low near the floor to the left of the bass drum, so its dedicated mic can be as far away from the rest of the kit as possible for pretty good isolation.

My favorite scream

It is said that this song is about the disassociation one feels when one is constantly away from home while touring constantly. I think one of the secrets of Jinjer is how Eugene on the bass fills both the bottom end but also functions as a second guitar.

Thanks for reading the lyrics. It's my favorite Jinjer's poetry)

🤘🇺🇦🤘

Thank you.

This is great I just left a comment on your Taylor Swift reaction and scrolled through your videos and saw you did a reaction to my other favorite band, love Jinjer.

JINJER!!!

Check out some old school Jinjer Outlander (failure .color) m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XtOYjCkHJak.html From their Cloud Factory album, performed in 2014 and still one of their all time best.

I love this song, it's nice to see you get excited about it ;) Tati has some deep lyrics in her songs, she is just like that. Don't forget the songs "Call Me A Symbol" and "Retrospection" on your Jinjer journey! There is a lot more though...

👍

If you just want to see the drummer try Under the Dome drum playthrough.

A couple more must watches from these guys if you haven't already done so... •RETROSPECTION •WHO IS GONNA BE THE ONE

Don't be cruel, let the can in! My cats love Jinjer.

I love this video ❤

What makes Vlad so impressive is that he really doesn't have a big kit but yet can make so much sound coming from it. No rack toms, doubles several cymbals, and has a cabled open high hat in front of the kit, along with his standing high hit that i believe is almost always closed. Eugene is a beast. One of the top bassists in today's music imo. Roman just sets the mood perfectly for Tatiana to fill it all out with her incredible vocalization.

We have the same, favorite moment.....those dry, Zildjian K Hi-Hats chicking away during the half-time section in the middle of the song. Vlad is such a tasty drummer. This might be my favorite Jinjer song. As always, the entire band kills it, but Roman really shines through here. This song has multiple guitar riffs that are killer...many a band would base a song around just one of them. Not for review, but the guitar playthrough for Pit of Consciousness is a good watch when you have time: Jinjer - Pit of Consciousness (Guitar Playthrough) Before moving on to review other videos, consider wrapping up the Live In Kiev part of your Jinjer journey with another banger from that show: JINJER - On The Top (LIve In Kiev) | Napalm Records The band has mentioned they didn't release a full set from Kiev because they were unhappy with the lighting. There is a drum cam video of Vlad playing Ape from this concert and it looked like he was having repeated issued with his IEMs....adjusting them repeatedly. Tatiana is an amazing frontman with a fantastic voice, but she's also a poet when her lyrics are at their best. Songs like this one and Perennial in particular have great lyrics. She and the entire band are the complete package. If you get a chance, go see them live. They are the real deal....saw them in a small room (400 to 500 people) and it was excellent. Band is so tight and Tati just owns the room. Finally, excellent shirt. Up The Irons!

"She would make demons go run back to hell" 😂😂🤣👍🤘

Vlad in particular is amazing! I watched the video of him playing Rachmaninoff on piano, and another of him playing a terrific electric guitar solo (don't remember who the cover was). Considering he had no formal drum lessons, it is extremely impressive!

Who is gonna be the one (live napalm records)should be your next stopppp

Ohhh, nice. Since you grew up with Drum & Bugle Corps... have you heard Polyphia yet? Their drummer, Clay Aeschliman, got his start in that world. He paused for a while to have a "normal" career, but hated it and went back to music. You can really hear his rudimentary chops in his playing style. If you check them out, probably start with "Playing God" or maybe "G.O.A.T." For genre, they're a fusion of mathcore and hip-hop, and no, you probably can't imagine that without hearing it, so check 'em out if you haven't! xD Vlad here was a conservatory-trained classical pianist who learned guitar to gig with a friend's band. The drummer of that band quit, and Vlad decided to learn how to drum to take his place, because y'know, virtuosos can do that kind of thing (I did it in marching band when, one week before the first football game, I decided to switch from trombone to tuba. The director laughed and said, "I'll tell you what, if you can take a sousaphone home over the weekend, and come in Monday and play all the songs for that game perfectly, from memory, you can switch." So I did.) Anyway, yeah, so Vlad self-taught drums and you can hear his musicality clearly in his style. You can also hear his progression from his earliest stuff with Jinjer (the Pisces live studio session was recorded specifically to showcase his new ideas for that song, which is radically different from the album version) to their latest stuff. He also brought a lot of compositional prowess to the band. The previous drummer, Dmitriy Kim, is a very talented session drummer, who joined the band temporarily when the previous-previous drummer was paralyzed by a fall out of a second story window in their flight from Donetsk to Kyiv when Russia first invaded in 2013. Kim just didn't like the touring musician life, but he departed amicably and is still heavily involved in the band. He does a lot of production for them and even co-starred in a music video with them, for the song "Disclosure!" from their latest album. (You can also see him drumming in the OMVs for "I Speak Astronomy" and "Sit, Stay, Roll Over") We should be getting a new Jinjer album dropping this year if I'm not mistaken. Can't wait!

Maybe you already know but Vlad is a pianist ;) He's pretty good and hyper technical like the whole band

They were gonna release this whole thing as a live release, but weren't happy with the strobe lights. I think they're fine, they should have done it anyway. The sound at this show is way better than the show in Melbourne that actually became an album. This show needed Eugene a bit louder, but you can barely hear him on the Melbourne set. IMO, this is probably their best professionally recorded live performance.

⭐Great reaction! What about a double reaction next :-) First "Mediator officiel video", and then "Mediator - live drum playtfrough szene" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k6Xoipsd22E.html. See Vlad´s excellent skills!⭐

If you want to see what Vlad can do, please reacto to Vortex... it's a ghost note festival ...

Vlad is amazing man...but I am also quite shocked with the way that the drummer of Gojira plays...Duplantier...listen to them...!!! I saw Jinjer live with Blind Guardian and Helloween and it wasjust breathtaking...and Tatiana sounds much better live and the whole band blew me away...Jinjer and Gojira are my favorite nowadays although I am shaped in the 80s metal escene...Listen also to Architect...amazing band
