Pearl Artist Kai Hahto/Wintersun - Sons Of Winter And Stars Drum Cam @ Nosturi, Helsinki 13.10.2012 

I love them so much.

ToastedCigar I guess Hahto is in the list of the best drummers in the world

Amen!

InstaBlaster

Maybe check out mgla-exercises in futility V here on youtube the drum playthrough - alot of cymbalwork to

I bet he started practicing in his mother's womb already.

Lol a little mercy

Patrick Correia I am a drummer and this is the part that impresses me the most. Definitely the best part of the song for me. So so jealous of whoever arranged it lol

@@pwngrinder The singer Jari Mäenpää composes the Wintersun songs. But I've heard he does listen to suggestions by the band members. Maybe Kai is so crazy he got here what he wanted? :)

@@timomastosalo I think Jari generally lets Kai go wild with the drums from what I've understood

@@thosko98 Yeah, I've been thinking Kai has himself to blame for, what comes to the monster drum part in this song :)

Not underrated. Just unknown. Everyone who knows who he is rates him very highly.

COB was always absolute dogshit live. Well.....Alexi was at least....and considering he was lead guitar AND vocals.....kinda important

+randomflashbacks Ulrich is a joke.

And you have no idea about playing styles.

for playing blast beats in metallica? hell no

@tormen I personally don't think they should've been replaced by more skillful artists. There's no need. They could be replaced by less skillful ones. But there aren't any to be found.

Ulrich is a god of Rythem and writing. A human metronome in his prime.

I just red an article in Inferno, a Finnish music magazine, Nightwish invited them to listen to their upcoming album in advance to give a little teaser review, they wrote that Kai Hahto has been "unleashed" and that he will definitely play more like he himself would rather than follow Jukka's style. I simply can't wait the new album 😍

Talbot Oh my god, Nightwish with Kai going nuts will make me orgasm so fucking hard as a drummer. 😂😂😂

@@dude97x The first good news I have seen this year.

Talbot Thank you for that!!

I hope kais replacement in wintersun is as good

Nope. Jai gave him the recorded riffs. Kai then had to write them out, and work out the time signatures prior to coming up with the drum riffs go go underneath.

@@andyventures6574 I think you misunderstood my comment, I was just complementing Kai's drum writing skills, I have been fortunate enough to have a few hours drumming lesson with Kai and ask him about the process and there is alot of back and forth between Jari and Kai with Kai tracking drum parts and sending them to Jari and Jari then deciding what he likes and doesn't and then and giving feedback for changes etc until hes happy with the drumming, but I was just merely using the word "tailored" as a complement

@@jamesjackson4210 then we are talking the same thing 😊

nobody switches left and right hand like that anywhere, wtf

arguably the greatest drummer of our generation

The drummer from Mgla is Darkside. He's incredible.

Who the hell is drumming for them now?

@@cypherredux2771 Stratovarious is filling in for Kai

Is he playing both Wintersun and Nightwish?

that's what i said when i saw him live, that man is not from this planet, haha

Yeah, winter wonderland of metal!

what things?

the cymbal locks or someting... but I already know the name

Cympads?

Pearl WL-200 Winglocks. Hope it helps! :)

they're called winglocks. Usually a nut called wingnut nut this is much more secure and doesn't loosen like wingnuts

Just the forest season has programmed drum

hahaahha The whole pattern is just hipnotic

It's not...the hardest thing to play....really just the same rudiment over and over again but trying to use everything on the kit.

Daniel James Oh come on man... same rudiment all over the kit for twelve minutes??? This dude's control, sense of time, and stellar kick drum patterns are are all a thing of beauty.

MetalSkinz but....I was only talking about that one part the guy mentioned...

Dude that is so sick!! He does alot of those techniques in the Time 1 album

monttumopo I think he uses axis longboards. There's a video of him showing some tricks and licks where he describes his gear.

+monttumopo I'm pretty sure he's been using the Pearl Demon Drives exclusively for a while. I've seen other videos of him using those.

Aristillus1 he always use pearl demon drive

He's using Axis Longboards. They're usually what he uses with Wintersun. With Nightwish, he was using the Demon Drive(or the Eliminator, I forget)

@@nirmalpaul13 Did Kai have much to say with composing the drum section for this? I'm just guessing he might be so crazy as to challenge himself winded by this real hectic Marathon. And the break in the middle I would understand especially, if Kai got the last word on the drums :)
