Kai Hahto in his youth has lived in New York and been taught by some of the top Professional Jazz Drummers in USA and he played on multiple jazz bands and wedding bands while staying in there. So he is originally a Jazz focused Drummer who tried multiple other Genres and found Metal (like Wintersun and nowadays Symphonic Metal band called Nightwish) as his favourite, but uses those Jazz and other Genres drumming techniques in his playing all the time.

@@JHX1 Not before metal, while metal. He got into drums as a child and got his first kit at the age of six. The metal thing really started because of 'Iron Maiden - Killers' album given to him by his grandmother when he was 8 years old. He has always been very versatile in his playing, even as a child he played quite an array of genres. Yes, Big Band, Jazz, and Dixieland are genres that he has played in bands, but he has also played Finnish folk music, pop, you name it, he loves to play drums period.

Swing in metal is a really interesting thing. As a guitarist, playing against blasts you're generally counting in 4s or maybe 8s, so a slight move makes a lot of difference. In shit I've played/written I'm slightly behind the beat while playing fast. You get the combination of playing really fucking fast but having a chilling vibe at the same time.

Reason why Wintersun´s music sounds like " midevil " is that it´s music genre is power metalfolk, metal neoclassical, metalmelodic death metal and black metal. In 1997, Mäenpää served in the Finnish military as part of his national defense duty, during which he contracted tuberculosis. The diagnosis was late, and Mäenpää required surgery to remove part of his lung, hospitalizing him for months. The song "Beautiful Death" would later be inspired by this event. Dispite of that, he can sing pretty good.

one metal drummer said something along the lines of making easy things sound more complicated than they are or just speeding them up... meaning that you have one beat going through, like the kicks here and you lay patterns and syncopations on top of them, like cymbals here. another drummer who does this is darkside from mgla check his cymbal game out, took me by surprise: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn2yp55mgdyofc0 metal is a very straightforward kind of music usually and almost requires nothing else outside 2/4 or 4/4 or sometimes 3/4 for the triplet feel, although a lot of modern bands start to incorporate more off-feeling signatures (5/4, 7/8 and the likes) or just play in a way that makes them sound like it, even when they are still 4/4. my point being: if it serves the song, nothing has to be overly complicated. the role of drums in metal is that of the time giver, so quite different from jazz where you can break out into a solo or the drummer responds actually to the band being the sort of "red line" throughout the song.
