i micht be a bit late on this, but "good fitting drums" can make a song so much better. For example Jinjer wouldn't be that good when the drums were just blastbeats. Sadly there are to much of those out there. So i absolutely appreciate you as a drummer aiming for a good experience. :D

That's hilarious dude. I've seen so many legit metal converts over the years on KZbin! Alex Hefner is a prime example. I think people just don't give metal a chance, honestly. Preconceived notions of what metal is. It's extreme, but the lyrics, vocals, and instrumentation often impress if given a chance.

[@MetalMann-de3xi]

@@shakeykarma106 indeed it does. Most people refuse to listen to it and call it noise. My uncle is a Bible thumping, finger pointing Christian and I converted him to some of the less extreme metal after accidently leaving my cds in his truck. He at first didn't listen to it, but he wanted to talk about my "less than Christian taste in music" I acted as I thought he wanted to listen to it and started playing Dream Theater and Symphony X.

The extra "percussion" sound you are hearing is literally just accented traditional blast beats. He is alternating between the bell and bow of the ride cymbal to accent in order to keep time and add flavor. Some of the first drummers to do this are Derek Roddy of Hate Eternal and George Kollias of Nile. The part you compare to a Litch King is the full band growling in chorus to create a chant. The sound at the end is harmonic slaps on the bass 💪💪😎😎

[@nimasharifi7999]

11:31

[@GilaMonster971]

It’s not a harmonic slap on the bass. It’s an an aggressive strum of a dissonant cord. Video of him doing it proves it’s a strum.

[@NZtechfreak]

@@GilaMonster971 Correct, you can hear it is as well as it is clearly shown on the video. Guitarist here, but I love strummed chords on bass, a number of metal bassists use this in their arsenal and always sounds badass.

[@mickondrums8172]

This is correct. I can kind of play it ( slower ) but no where near as good :)

[@TrommelmonsterBVB09]

"That Sound" that you hear during the Blastbeats is probably the Bell of his ride cymbal that he is hitting for accents.

[@imokin86]

Yeah, sounds like a ride bell.

[@BrianBegnoche]

This was my thought too.

[@Valasty]

I think she meant the snare sound (as the ride she could clearly see the hits in the video). Yes, it's a snare hitting inhumanly fast, which's a rather common practice on more extreme styles of metal, but very rarely found on anything else.

[@kjvail]

at the very end it's a bass guitar. You see Eugene hit the harmonic on the string in the last few secs, "bing!".

[@jimmyyoung6568]

Combination..this blast beat includes drum bass, snare, ride symbol and bass thump at the exact rhythm. It is a unique sound that definitely stands out.

Passion is the best thing about life, only when you are passionate, you can enjoy something. Just consuming something gives you boredom. The reason why I love metal is because of the passion, the craftsmanship and the inventiveness of most of the metalbands, especially Jinjer.

[@kenny240]

That sound at the end is a “slap” on the bass guitar. Eugene is a master of the instrument and manages to find ways to add things into the music like I’ve never heard another bass player do before. He’s very creative, and the band as a whole just seems to understand exactly what a song needs. They always add extra flare, but never so much that it’s overwhelming or distracting.

[@Marco-nu6dg]

It is a barre accord on the bass, wich Steve Harris is doing on a lot of songs since the beginning of Iron Maiden.

[@hansdennis7866]

Its a "ghost snare" or "shadow snare" its a drumming technique performed by highly skilled and very experienced drummers who are very classically trained, oddly most often found in metal drumming.

[@pomat22]

She might also be thinking about sort of an "off time" blast beat that is played there. Well not really an off time but you know what i mean.

[@juyifan7933]

Ghost notes are a staple of Jazz music. It is really not that common in metal, so no, it isnt "most often found in metal drumming". The few metal drummers who use then usually have a background on Jazz. Vladislav is a particularly exceptional drummer. Most drummers who use ghost notes are not "endurance/explosion" type drummers that can spam the double bass for several minutes without break or do blast beats. Vlasdislav combines the subtlety of a Jazz drummer, with the explosiveness and endurance of a metal drummer.

[@Murphenom]

Not condemning anything, but I think it's because she makes a half hour long video on a song that's only 3-4 minutes. Instead of just reacting she does a breakdown analysis and most people that watch reacting to music videos won't watch or like something at or over the 10 minute mark.

[@onidarcanas8524]

The extra thing you hear in the blast beat. Is the snare technique used by drummers where they push stick into the rim of the drum as they strike the skin. This ads an extra bounce or 2 to a single strike. This is a commonly used technique first discovered in the army and perfected by the Pete the drummer of MORBID ANGEL. Hes is also the founder of the blast beats and the first record setter in speed at tempo of 990 bpm. As for your assumptions on her vocal affects and dubbed over lines. You're spot on. The sound you heard at the end was a bass technique. If you ever need a drum and studio production consultant. Mr. METALOKE is here to help and learn with you all

[@Lordzoabar]

“This is what I feel goblins would sound like, if they were having a party or rapping.” I honestly think Tatiana would take that as a sincere compliment.

Elizabeth reacting to Jinjer is always a great joy to watch.

[@herrpye]

Having had access to their multi tracks and watching Max mix them, I can tell you those those "gangs" are all just her doing a bunch of extra voices and layering them under her leads. And yeah, all the doubles you're hearing are her tracking those doubles and matching them up. Well tracked doubles sound way bigger than doubler effects, even thought they're getting really good now. They don't work that great on growls. You do good work, madame. Been watching for a while and it's fun to see you check out friends of mine and stuff! Started watching you on Pisces, actually! also, that note at the end you're hearing is the Bass

As someone who listens mainly to Handel and Vivaldi, I love the melody and rhythm of Jinjer. I'm in love with this unique, talented, wonderful band !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That sound you noticed at the end is often referred to as a “deng”. It was produced by Eugene, the bass player. A deng can be composed either of a single or multiple simultaneous notes, initiated by plucking the string and allowing the strings to rattle against the frets, producing harmonics. The most famous example was in the song “Dig” by Mudvayne. It became a meme: “Brr Brr DENG”, as referenced by Eugene in this clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJvJc3lrbM1le9Em52s

That chorus of goblin growls you hear on the “we need no soap shoved down our throats” line is what we call Gang Vocals.

[@w8mym853]

Haven't found if anyone has already pointed that out in the comments. The time signature you hear in this lyrical part in the end is a 2/3 polyrhythm. Which is essentially a 6/8, but accents are placed in a way that you get 2/4 and 3/4 happening at the same time. It has this amazing grooving momentum that carries you away. And it allows you to seamlessly switch between 3/4 and 4/4 or make neat rhythmical modulations. I should say that this polyrhythm is very common in prog metal/rock. I'd call it a basic building block for a lot of the songs. But there are more pieces that use it. For instance, Game of Thrones main theme and Carol of the Bells.

I love the sudden switches in singing styles (who else could sing like an angel, scream like a banshee, and growl like a devil), and the talent of the band was impressive. Thank you, Elizabeth!!! 💙

[@godscoldhands77]

who else.? - Courtney LaPlante (Spiritbox) can.!! Eva Spence (Rolo Tomassi) also can, Kristin Hayter (Lingua Ignota) can, Caro Tanghe (Oathbreaker) can... a lot of female vocalists can, and many of them are even better than tati. Courtney LaPlante is the epitome of modern female singing/screaming. tati is really good in what she's doing, but she's just hyped to the max...and that's quite annoying. been a jinjer fan from day one but during the last 10-12 months i've lost my love and interest over this exaggerated hype.

[@justinatest9456]

She also writes amazing lyrics. Pisces, Perennial, Retrospection are all songs worth following along with lyrics, as it is clear they mean a lot to Tatiana, and are too easily overlooked.

[@nikolaypetrov6044]

@@godscoldhands77 Matter of personal preferences, of course. I've listened to all of them and Tatiana is really the best by my opinion... Eva and Courtney are also impressive, but the quantity of "hits" is rather less... Just my personal view...

[@samcourt6228]

@@godscoldhands77 I feel the same about Spiritbox. I’m in the minority but just don’t get the hype. They’re very talented but they’re not my cup of tea. I much prefer Jinjer, although they’re sometimes treated like a circus act by KZbin after Picies.

[@JimPekarek]

I would LOVE to hear you react to Otep, specifically Ghost Flowers or Confrontation. She's one of, if not the single greatest female metal vocalist of all time, and extremely underrated. And Evil J is a wizard with the bass guitar.

Ok internet, so from a young age I was listening to korn/slipknot/ratm/pantera etc on cassette tapes, how the fuck am I only now hearing Jinjer for the first time? Literally grinning so hard right now, because I have a world of Jinjer I get to discover for the first time.

You have a world of music you've yet to discover my friend. Try Opeth - Ghost of Perdition, In a dark room, eyes closed, and let your mind go.

[@0s0n3gr0]

By far the best reaction, with the most useful breakdown, insight and enthusiasm. You rock.

[@mediclimber]

This song is like a mini rock opera. Time signature changes, vocals matched by percussion, then bass, then guitar, back and forth from "regular" vocals to her patented growl, then back again. It rolls up all sorts of musical things. Just a pure joy to listen to. Shows how advanced all of the band is.

[@robertnorman2815]

King Diamond - Sleepless Nights Live at the Fillmore 2015 & Nevermore - This Godless Endeavor. I feel you will love both of them for different reasons. KD is very theatrical and sings in Falsetto and Nevermore is criminally underrated plus the song is like 8 minutes long with an amazing amount of complexity 😊

Hell yeah King Diamond is killer!!

They have an entire live concert on their channel and she sings just as strong on the last song of the set as she does on the first song. She’s amazing!

[@Nick.McIntyre]

If we're thinking of the same video, her cleans are incredible on that live performance too.

[@williamkramer9731]

I remember leaving a comment on FB when I first seen a video of theirs, from live performance.....I mentioned ability because I was amazed how she pulled everything off with such clarity..... For me, Tatiana is easily the best female extreme metal vocalist there is right now.... The power and versatility in her voice is amazing..... As for male, the equal counterpart, for me, would be Phil Bozeman.

[@JUNJYR]

More people need to tell her to listen to "Home Back"!

[@NolanHolladay]

I have a hard time getting into purely screaming singers, especially if I cant make out what they're saying, but this is absolutely brilliant! I feel like her growling is purposeful and I can totally make out what she's enunciating! I love the way Pantera goes between the most beautiful clean singing and the super harsh vocals; so I'm LOVING this!! ❤️ ❤

[@Zodd-pi8st]

You are one of the best, if not the best, music reaction channels around.

3:26 which is kind of funny cuz tatiana would never yell at someone like that. she's super shy and soft spoken IRL and she admits as much in interviews.

[@JStephens_73]

144 comments in, as of mine here, so I don't know if it's already been mentioned, but another song of theirs that is very similar in pace, tempo and clean/harsh vocals is "Retrospection" which is, as Tatiana describes a thank-you to their parents for supporting all of them through their journey of creating music and becoming the band they are today.

[@Josephmccall-8k2]

Tatiana is the queen of metal but you Elizabeth are the undisputed queen of music nobody fully encompasses true musical appreciation like you do!!

I have Jinjer songs that I prefer over Teacher, Teacher… but my god, the way she flips in the chorus is just nuts

[@BigArt1970]

If you don't get chills when she points at the camera and sings "I smile to you" 21:50 then you might need to see a neurologist. 🤘

[@Sacred_Silence]

I agree! One thing I wished happened this video is when she says "I take a look around" and points to the side. Indicating the camera man should pan all the way around, and he barely moves to the right and does it late lmao. FAIL

[@kenny240]

@@Sacred_Silence I don’t think that was a fail. He panned over to Eugene, which was I think the intention.

I did get chills and now I do need to see a neurologist because chills don't go away :)

[@nothingTVatYT]

Yeah, that's one of the many times my goosebumps occur. The performance of Jinjer is just great but I also love the ideas put into the video production as well. Tatiana's presentation of energy and emotions on the stage is captured really good and the close-up and focus on the camera draws me in. It reminds me of a Heilung video where Maria uses a short break to turn to the camera and stares at me. These seemingly small details make such videos even better and the performer connects to the audience.

[@sawyer4981]

The thing I love the most about metal is the range (and intensity) of emotions the music can bring with it. There's something about those low, dark growls that has always just spoken to me more than clean vocals ever could.

[@minaha1975]

I can hear a lot of Guano Apes Influence in this song, In an interview she suggested this band to you. Sandra Nasic is doing some growls but the harmony of her clear singing sounds a lot like Guano Apes. You should check it out.

[@jimmyggs91]

I like how Tatiana uses her clean and harsh vocals to express duality. It was the same thing on Pisces.

[@T1hitsTheHighestNote]

Jinjer just did ”Hellfest at home”. Great streaming concert, live at the Hellfest grounds. It’s free to watch, perhaps ok to react to?

[@indus3270]

Jinjer is, without a shadow of a doubt, my favourite band, not in the least because EVERY member is ridiculously highly skilled and extremely passionate about their music and it shows. I'm surprised you didn't go for a live version tbqh. If you want to see them live, I strongly suggest "Perennial - Live at Wacken Open Air 2019". You could even do a double feature with the official video, which is just beautiful, and the live version, where you can hear the difference in her produced and live voice...

[@deusifer30]

Contemporary jazz…😉…you so get it!…[edit]…please do not take this wrong…music geek…❤️🤣❤️…you are so wonderful…

[@THISWEEKINHUMANdotcom]

Oh, the message of "Teacher, Teacher!" is very clear in the line "I smile to you, 'cause I want you to see How I break the rules in front of your trinity..." mix this with all the very awesome symbology being used...and you have a very spiritual message...I bet they would agree.

[@robertevans2450]

they have been asked, and no, they don't agree. She used the references to easily span across language barriers but it is only to symbolize & represent authoritarians who think they know it all and must force others to their ideals and beliefs. Not related to any faith or religion. She and Eugene even commented on it being people in society & government. She is agnostic, religion wise.

[@KPGuitarStudios]

The extra sound in the blast beat is that Vlad is using the bell on the ride to give the bright pop to the tone. The part at the end that jumps out is Eugene, the bassist, he is totally the heart of Jinjer, he is incredibly talented and pulls so much melody out of his lines and drives the tracks forward. It's so much fun watching your reactions to these tracks, you really enjoy music and it shows!

Powerwolf would be a pretty good choice. It might be interesting to have a double-reaction, using both versions of their song "Demons Are A Girl's Best Friend."

[@jeffreycherep8264]

I've been pushing for some Powerwolf for a while now. I was recommending "Christ And Combat" or "Army Of The Night". "Venom Of Venus" or "Nochnoi Dozor" might be interesting as well.

The best reaction and breakdown of this song I've seen so far

[@JasonSmith-lp6wg]

That 'sound' you're asking about sounds like the ride belle. Typically, when you hit the ride-cymbal, you do it mid-way on the cymbal; but, when you hit it closer to where the cymbal attaches to the cymbal stand (which it does in the cymbal's centre), it makes a more pronounced belle sound.

[@pelgervampireduck]

I love how you talk about music, you seem so happy and passionate about it!. her voice is unique, and I think this song has a great melody, I must admit I don't like their other songs that much, but this one is great.

[@elvishards8161]

The understanding of how the inner workings of her throat works is like taking a piano and watching what a very small part has a massive influence on the sound the piano makes.
