Metal Drummer Reacts to DEVIL & THE DEEP DARK OCEAN (NIGHTWISH)

[@RaymondBCrisp]

"She is not of this Earth." Of course not...Being a Valkyrie, she's from Valhalla!

[@richardhall6034]

If you look very very closely you can just make out her wings shield and sword

[@darquemode1165]

Valhalleluja!

[@TayR0C]

I've been playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and there's a character that looks like Floor. She's blue.

[@music2seeconcertphotograph457]

A strong yuggestion for your next favorite Nightwish song: "Weak Fantasy" from Tampere. Including a cool start with Kai

[@johnlindquist1784]

Kai is just a machine - he's a beast. I'm a drummer too and I know first hand just how difficult and taxing it is to keep that up especially at that speed. Thanks for this one. It's a great song!

[@robertturner8040]

I added a second bass pedal to my electric kit how does Kai keep that up without going wrong, after a minute with me it's all gone tits up and cramp in my legs LOL

[@inflatable2]

@@robertturner8040 Talent, skills and probably lots of practise..

[@galadballcrusher8182]

@@inflatable2 i wouldsay also probably training them legs too to keep the physical condition up for it, likely plenty aerobic leg excercises

[@inflatable2]

@@galadballcrusher8182 I dunno, I think playing in itself is plenty of training.. But maybe he does..

[@Tarkus_]

So Kai is not of this earth either? 🤔

[@Ravenwish1990]

Kai is a real beast. Proven by these songs, and the actual albums he did the drums for. But, here, I'm inclined to throw my hat to Jukka. Jukka and Kai are way out there, they are masters.

[@Tarkus_]

Love Jukka's personality too. He's such a joy to watch. Kai is fun to watch too, but for different reasons.

[@phoenixaki3458]

As a longtime NW fan I was a bit unsure of how I felt about Kai at first - there's obviously no denying his technical skill is out of this world, but having Jukka not around really felt like something was missing to me at first. I always felt like Kai just seemed really robotic when performing, compared to Jukka's famous charisma. I have since learned that Jukka specifically suggested/requested Kai (who is good friends with Jukka) because he trusted that Kai would be the only one who could do justice to NW's songs. I never realized that the reason he seemed so "robotic" to me is because Jukka's playing style was not how Kai usually does performs, and he put in a TON of effort to try to emulate Jukka's style so that the overall sound would still be the same. Once I realized that, I gained a LOT more respect for Kai and I recognize how important he is to the current lineup.

[@Shiva182Katarina]

That's why the drums really stand out on the new album because Kai plays as himself, not emulating Jukka anymore

[@TheWiseGrif]

This song is over 20 years old now (from a 1998 album) and this is SUCH A GOOD UPDATE TO IT

[@Mark_-jq6wg]

Marko and Floor.....ugh just so good together. Kai is performing surgery on them drums. Just absolutely brilliant. Great reaction as always ;)

[@k.l.7788]

Going to miss Marko so much.

[@Mark_-jq6wg]

@@k.l.7788 Yep every performance I see him in is hard to watch without getting emotional now. I just hope he's OK and will return when he is ready.

[@k.l.7788]

Same here. Hopefully he’ll make a great comeback one day.

[@juliannewarren5466]

This is one of my most favourite NW songs ever. I love everything about this. Instrumentation, vocals, theatricality... Glad to see a musician that truly appreciates the song.

[@petrihietanen1102]

One of my favorites as well! And Floor's outfit...proper for a Valkyrie Queen!!

[@sterlingknight8087]

Q> Who has the most fun at a Nightwish show? A. Emppu.

[@Klojum]

You want another favorite NW song? Try "7 Days To The Wolves" with Floor howling.

[@johnekare8376]

Yes! That's a great song!

[@toiddiot1629]

One of my absolute favorites! Wish it was just a little longer 😂

[@RonniePeterson]

Its a doozy of a song and performance. Great stuff, great reaction.

[@JWildberry]

I'm always stunned by the intensity of the drums in this one, so I knew it would be a perfect choice for a drummer to react to!

[@moimeme8827]

from the same live, try "slaying the dreamer" :). very heavy, sure you'll love it !

[@simonhuber1738]

Floor just blows my mind every time, the combination of her voice, her stage presence, her outfits….. damn this woman 😳

She's queen 👑

Having goosebumps together with you man. So good. Loved the reaction! Also, there can only be one favourite nightwish song: the one you are listening to. So yes, it changes. Lol

[@marita2g]

I loooove this song! Soo glad you enjoyed it. Finally! Your back with a new reaction to them too :D Yay!

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

There's some singing and some serious drumming. An insane performance, indeed. Happy New Year from Finland! ⛄👍

[@robertturner8040]

This whole concert is like this i personally think band performance wise was there best you should see GLS at the end Floor's dragging her fingers over Emppu's guitar with holding his hands over his eyes and I want my tears back Floor goes nuts as do the crowd

[@mattilindstrom]

Thanks for saying what I think aloud and clearly: Kai brings so much. Not only impeccable technical proficiency, but also new musical possibilities. I love Jukka, his style and the heart he poured into his drumming. Kai however is a boon for current and future Nightwish.

[@lekalla]

Nightwish is in good hands with Kai behind the drums. He will play like a monster still when he's 60+ years old because of his ergonomic drumming style. It's something that a lot of people forget.

[@edhome8822]

Nice reaction 🤘🤘🤘 thank you

[@artonx4719]

I agree, a fantastic song...and live of course!

[@jeannettesimpson9778]

To think this was written in 1998.

[@robertturner8040]

And then given a dusting of Floor magick and added stage drama with Marko playing off Floors energy, back like a new song

[@jacquimarat9723]

I challenge anyone to listen to this and claim it's not metal....love this song.

[@alejandromoya7]

Floor Jansen (in this performance)= GOD LEVEL

She is so good but i still prefer Tarja for this song

[@dancingwiththedead6764]

She was sick with the flu during this performance

[@horseshoe_nc]

I just stumbled across your channel and subscribed. That entire concert is awesome. If you want another one from this concert, that sounds completely different check out, I Want My Tears Back. That is if you haven't already. Edit: I Want My Tears Back, is totally different from what you have reacted to, so far. The song has a more folk music vibe to it. And you get to meet Troy. Troy plays several instruments including, tin whistles, Irish bazookie and Uilleann pipes, along with providing another layer of vocals.

[@CJ-lo1ny]

This is Lit , keep Nightwish coming🤘🏽

[@eddiecreutzburg7375]

No, it's not oh my God but...Oh my Goddess...lol. In an interview,Floor acknowledged the fact that people are calling her Goddess and she likes it. In another interview, Marko, the Viking, said that Jukka plays like John Bonham and Kai plays like Ian Pace. Liked your reaction bro, peace out and be Safe.

You need to do Tribal off the new album, no live version yet though but Kai is the start of that song ;)

Actually, there are now several live versions from Hellfest 2022 and the Deichbrand 2022 festivals. Fantastic.

[@timomastosalo]

A song for a drummer, definitely. I also think this tells something of Kai's Jazz background. I'm no pro, I only think so based on what I have heard jazz drummers doing in street corners, improvising.I think this has a lot of jazz-like quick changes of beats.

[@cornflowerofsweden1288]

USEFUL LINKS HERE! To avoid future complacency, here's my favourite list of "WTF-is-this-Nightwish?"-songs available on KZbin. What I mean by that is they represent the most varied experience of Nightwish you can get. If there is a Nightwish mainstream, these are not it. . First of all, Floor all alone in the Swedish winter forest, improvising for 30 seconds. It's just a snippet, a bonus-reaction perhaps? Cutest ever: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGebm59mmcZ_mMU . Stargazers from Tampere 2015 (here you can hear Floor's more operatic register in this fast-paced guitarheavy song): kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJmopnSGjtKSi8k The Islander from Tampere 2015 (Marco singing): kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKCbn5aBlJqesMU Sahara. (Nightwish in Tampa 2016. It's a bit different but crazy good and not that common. Also, Tuomas said he loves small gigs, where he "can smell the sweat and the beer"...) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooXZipmClpmKos0 A slow lovesong with Marco in the lead vocals from Wembley 2015: "Kiss while your lips are still red": kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4eagX6saZ5mf8U How's the Heart (slow and beautiful anthem of human empathy, pure awesomeness) from the Planet Rock acoustic session 2020: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4rXnIOme76thdE Sleeping Sun from Tampere 2015 (slow ballad by Floor, so amazingly good) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKTSpZ-wp56qhNk More folk-metal in the form of a very weird instrumental jig, "Elvenjig", followed by the amazing "Elvenpath" (Buenos Aires 2018): kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJXGXoCmbtOeqck "High Hopes" from Hartwall Arena 2005. (Nightwish makes a Pink Floyd cover, WHAT!!! Marco singing.) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqCodaGMmr6Mr68 "Slow, Love, Slow" from Montreaux 2012 (Nightwish goes Jazz!!! Previous singer, Anette) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJyUm5iAd9SWmJo Arabesque, the official clip. Not the band, but some firedancers from a concert on the Imaginareum tour: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5esoHamf8iJhtE The powerful "Meadows of Heaven" from the album Dark Passion Play. If this only had a video, it would be played way more. Anette singing (with help from others). kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKnWm6lsgdmFsJI (Fan-made video with lyrics) - The live version from Hartwall 2009 isn't that good quality, but if you want to try it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4Ome2CNi696jac Another Anette video, maybe the craziest of them all...

[@rickphil9999]

Kai is an absolute beast... and yes, that includes the ongoing 2022 Nightwish world tour. I know you reacted to this a year ago but I have some bad and good news for you. Two days ago, our lovely Floor posted an open letter on her social media that in early October 2022 she was diagnosed with breast cancer during a routine mammogram screening. The tumor was small and caught early. This amazing woman then performed with Nightwish during their entire 2022 South America and Mexico tour, knowing that she would be undergoing surgery yesterday, October 27th, 2022. The good news is that she has since posted that the surgery went well and she hope to be ready to perform with Nightwish in late November for fall and Christmas European tour, understanding that she is still awaiting the results of the lymph node tests from the lab. I, and the entire Nightwish Army, send her all our love, positive thoughts, and prayers for a complete recovery. Dear Floor, take all the time you need to heal. We adore you.

[@JWNanaimo]

They were super fortunate to be blessed with both Jukka and Kai…two phenomenal drummers who melded so perfectly with this phenomenal band. Kai in Beast Mode in this one..as usual🤘🤘

If you're planning on doing a drum cover, you may need an extra arm and leg grafted onto you.
