@@teckreactions word is that he is also self taught. Not sure on that. He is a classical pianist by training however.

[@BTAColorado]

@@MoreThanDanny Correct, a classically trained pianist and also a pretty good guitar player. The band he was in before Jinjer lost a drummer and they couldn't find a replacement so he gave up the guitar spot and taught himself drums.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Vlad has said that his drum setup and style is just what felt natural to him, and was not inspired by anything or anyone in particular. He isn't a drummer first, he is a pianist and guitarist who just happens to also play drums and this is what works for him personally

[@Dr.Spatula]

@@neilpatrickhairless Honestly, he was probably "inspired" by his piano background. Low and almost even plained likely feels more familiar without having an outside presence (teacher etc.) pushing a more traditional setup

[@SteveSmith-os5bs]

I have been a fan of Jinjer for 6 years now. This tract does have some post-production work added. Jinjer does their best work in concert. Tatiana is the front woman and lead singer for the band. She is a world-class growler and can switch and modify her vocals in a nanosecond. That is Tatiana's superpower. Every song is different, and they never gets boring or stale. Jinjer is one of the best bands in progressive metal today.

[@teckreactions]

Awesome.

[@JariJuslin]

They're honest with their stuff, the video description tells they added layers after first recording it in one take. They didn't expect it to blow up, just wanted to showcase their then new drummer to the world by remaking an older song.

[@michellelevert5128]

Your face and gap in recognition as to wtf was happening was great!

[@teckreactions]

I was not ready.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

There is a vocal backing track in parts. This was technically a re-recording session to showcase the drummer. Pisces the song itself is still considered an "unfinished" song by the band even though it was on an album release. The band has stated in interviews and such that they have never really been happy with the song and they regret that it was the song that basically introduced them to an international audience. This song has been rewritten and re-recorded multiple times and the version that exists now started with a completely different ending when it was recorded for the album and was changed last minute during the recording process. Eugene wrote the lyrics at the end of this version, and is the original writer of the song itself (started with the bass line)

[@teckreactions]

Ah got it. It's a pretty neat effect.

[@cjjoe2385]

Jinjer - Vortex Arguably one of their best, and the drummer is insane in this one. You will also here Tatiana’s growls get VERY deep.

[@shifty7629]

Holy shit. You picked it was up in 7 in like 10s? That's freaking amazing. Props to you! Sorry, watching the rest of the reaction right now. Vlad (the drummer) is classically trained in piano (there's a vid of him playing Rachmaninoff on yt) but he mostly played guitar...until the drummer in one of his former bands quit, so he taught himself how to play drums. Insanely talented musician (as are all of the other members of this band) This "live session" does involve some backing vocals and other effects, but these guys can absolutely produce this same sound live. This was their intro to Vlad joining the band. There are a bunch of playthroughs on their yt channel (jinjer metal band) so feel free to take your pick. I waver between my favourites from them, but it's either Teacher Teacher or I Speak Astronomy. Both OMVs are amazing. Hope to see you check one of them out!

[@teckreactions]

It's pretty great.

[@MarkLangdahl]

I think what blows me back the most about her growls is how relatively easy it is to pick up on what she is growling. In a lot of European death metal, especially in Swedish death metal like Dark Tranquility, Hypocrisy and especially Opeth the growls are produced in a way that give a quite clean sound. Tatiana from Jinjer has the same quality.

[@teckreactions]

It’s pretty strong

[@Firanve]

He proved his skill and credibility just by saying "It's in seven".

[@teckreactions]

[@michellegower6812]

I had to wait till I got off work to watch this, but I counted the minutes till I could! I've never had a reactor actuallly listen to something I recommended! So glad you enjoyed it. I love them and drove 7 hours to see them when they were headlining a couple years ago. They are AMAZING live. I would go with Perennial Live at Wacken like others have said, you'll love it. Can't go wrong with any of their songs, in my humble opinion. Love your channel!

[@teckreactions]

Thanks for recommendation, my friend. I enjoyed it!

[@berniewilson371]

Ukrainian band who write their own material. Tania writes a lot of the lyrics to their stuff.

[@teckreactions]

That’s awesome.

[@module79l28]

So far, there are only 2.5 songs with lyrics that she didn't write. 😉

[@sebrinalilje8057]

I'll add that she's writing in probably her third language. She's from Donetsk, where the first language is usually Russian. Her second would be Ukrainian, third English.

[@machelai]

I'm pretty sure that Tatiana writes the lyrics in russian and translates them to english. At least I remember her saying that, maybe in the interview with Elizabeth from charismaticvoice.

[@Shake69ification]

You're impressed with her switch from clean to growl and this isn't even the song which highlights it best. If you continue with the recommendations others have made, you'll see. Having seen them live last summer, I can tell you it's 100% real. She's a joy to watch.

[@teckreactions]

More to come.

[@coder4liberty]

So Vlad (the drummer) started out as a classical pianist so I think that's the origin of his split stick technique because of course piano players rarely cross their hands when playing. His current kit has two floor toms, one on the left side of his hihat and a rack tom in the place of a floor tom next to the kick. An auxiliary snare between the rack tom and the floor tom on his right that is 12" in diameter. K Zildjian cymbals. There are several really good drum playthroughs from him on KZbin. The best one being for their song Mediator. You've already gotten some good suggestions but from a drummers perspective I would definitely second the suggestion about Perennial Live at Wacken Open Air. Also Home Back, Wallflower, Vortex, On the Top Live in Kyiv and Pit of Consciousness Live in Kyiv and Judgement and Punishment One Take Vocal. Jinjer is from Ukriane. They grew up during the transition from the USSR to Ukrainian independence and so they've been through a lot. This song is about Tatiana's nature as someone born as a Pisces.

[@teckreactions]

That’s impressive. Holy cow.

[@user-du7pb3do4g]

Heh…as a musician who appreciates good musicianship. Jinjer is a gold mine. Everyone in this band is truly gifted. Since you’re a drummer, this drummers name is Vlad. Also, I’m pretty sure he’s not left handed. Fun fact, he was a classical pianist who one day said, “this is cool and all, but I really just want to hit things.” Ok, I made that up. But he is a pianist…or was…no idea if he still plays. But I think that’s were the lower kit and the open playing style come from.

[@shannonmanning6166]

The false-fold scream doesn't use the vocal chords we speak and sing with; it's the folds that make noise when we clear our throats. Tatiana has absolutely mastered the false-fold scream, which is why she can flip back and forth so quickly. Also, the drummer was a concert pianist, and learned how to play the drums specifically for Jinjer. I'm supposing he keeps his drums lower because it's more efficient. You'll notice his elbow rise during the cymbal crashes, so it might help to raise the cymbals a tad, but that's just me guessing.

[@teckreactions]

Oh interesting.

[@Hemi_the_BlackSheep]

A few presumptions about the drummer to clear up. He is not left handed. He just plays ambidextrously. The reason everything is low is he is a converted classical pianist and it felt more natural to him.

[@teckreactions]

Presumptions since been cleared up. Thanks.

[@aditsu]

You have pretty good ears my man 🙂 The voice switches are absolutely real, but the recording is also post-processed, not 100% live. They added some (double tracked?) voice layers in a few places, even a whisper layer, and did a little pitch correction. I highly recommend some of their other songs: Vortex, Teacher teacher, Judgment and punishment

[@zroter]

If you are doubting Tatiana's vocal abilities, Judgement & Punishment one take vocal is a must see. You get growl metal, clean metal and a surprise third style you are not expecting.

[@teckreactions]

No doubt at all. I get the feeling there's more in there.

[@capstan50g]

Great reaction, Matt. Vlad, Jinjer's drummer, is unmatched in the genre for his timing and great cymbal work. Jinjer's song Teacher Teacher would be a great next step, since it showcases a harder sound and some great stylistic range for Tatiana, the lead vocalist. BTW, drummer to drummer, have you heard Grayson Nekrutman's cover of Caravan? You'll never hear a better swing drummer in your life, and he was only twenty when he recorded it. It's a must-see for every percussionist.

You might be the fastest to recognize the time signatures. And your all around musical fluency is appreciated. As others have said theres a lot of post production on this.

Heh yeah, Vlad is a conservatory-trained classical pianist who self-taught the drums. He approaches the kit very much like he would a piano, lots of dynamics, amazing limb independence, tons of musicality. He's the driver behind a lot of Jinjer's modern sound as they've gotten more and more proggy. I don't think he actually is left-handed, just prefers the open style.

Great reaction Matt. I never tire of the look on people's faces when Tatiana switches it up on this tune. If you're looking for another band to react to I would strongly recommend Nightwish. Have a look at their performance of Ghost Love Score live at the Wacken Open Air festival in 2013 - I promise that you won't regret it.
