Pearl Artist Kai Hahto/Wintersun Drum Cam Tuska 2011 - The Way Of The Fire 

8:58 He's doing 4 blast beats while doing 3 cymbals at the same time. It's what he was talking about at the podcast today. Sounds really good with that riff

There are drummers, and then there is Kai "the alien robot god" Hahto.

The Drum God from Finland, fantastic, I love it 😎🥁👍

checking in from 2019. I sure do hope Kai comes back to Wintersun some time soon. Nightwish is doing fine but Wintersun is really missing him Stiiiillllllllll waiting for time II :/

Sick festival line up that year!!! Wish i coulda been there... :[...

Amazingly awesome :)

just... perfect.

Playing blast beat for such long periods of time... Thats insane...

fantastic,very good drummer

Fantastic

He only needs snare, 2 toms, bass drum and about 7 cymbals and a hi-hat, that's the most cymbal-heavy drumset ever.

I love you, Kai.

I don't understand how he can be that fast with that tecnique!!

Nice quality

Pearl artist with Yamaha hardware :) nice :)

Gonna be on Time II :)

@dahudge9 Look at his work with Rotten Sound.. Kai's incredible at playing grind also.

of course by using the fingers i mean use them for moving the sticks up and down in order to allow them to hit the drum kit

Vihdoinkin tänä vuonna tämä mieletön biisi näkee päivänvalon

they really need to record and master this song.... they dont have a studio version of this song and its really depressing.

I thought "Winter Madness" is heavy but this is crazy!!^^ Besides it's a great new song; can't wait to hear the whole Album.

osen sanaton..kerta kaiokkiaan.kaitsu on paras

I don't understand why Jari thought that changing the whole concept of music is the way forward ... why change something when it works, certainly also the problem is that no one else like Kai would play it live

a friend of mine told me that if you want to be that fast you need to use fingers, because other wise you risk to break your wrists, is he wrong ? because from that camera it looks like kai hahto uses wrists and not the fingers

You can use both your fingers or your wrists, both techniques have their advantages and disadvantages. You'll usually get more power from playing with your wrists and it's a bit easier to learn/coordinate, but it requires more strength and stamina than playing with your fingers and even though you will most likely not literally break your wrists from it, it has a higher risk of injuries if it's not done correctly. It really all just boils down to what you feel more comfortable with.

Why don't you guys just upload the whole show?

i have no words for this bestial drummer... fucking awesome!

Correction, 2 bass drums, 8 cymbals

surprised to see such a minimalistic drumkit

I though the double bass was waaaaaay faster

he uses 2 hihats

5:30 what the fuck O.o

Who the fuck moves their elbows when they blast? It's wrist or fingers.
