Drum Teacher Reacts to Vladislav Ulasevich - Jinjer - Perennial - Episode 120

[@BTAColorado]

Yes, Tatiana does the growls as well as that angelic clean voice. Courtney LePlant from IWABO has moved on to a band called Spiritbox, where she still kills it. Vlad himself is a classically trained pianist, a great guitar player and pure beast on drums. He does much of the musical arrangements for the band because of his classical training. Edit: that pause around the 10:30 mark where he has his hands raised over his head, you totally missed his "K" tattoo.

[@Dark__Thoughts]

Courtney wasn't the only vocalist of IWABO though.

[@Ekimmu87]

Dude I’m so happy you got to Vlad. All the musicians in this band are incredible even if they tend to get overshadowed by Tati

[@stevegipps9930]

Vlad is a pro concert pianist. Drums are his second best instrument. HA! Just read an interview with the bassist, apparently Vlad wrote and composed 95% of the new album coming out. The first single is released Thursday. Dude is a genius, plays every instrument. Definitely check out more from them. Teacher Teacher official video is an insane showcase for the drums.

[@scottkinner9776]

Yep...all the vocals are Tatiana Shmailyuk. The classic "reaction" song for Jinjer is their studio version of "Pisces" - while the video doesn't showcase Vlad, it certainly shows him playing some different styles and effortlessly shifting between them. While none of the band is in the "Judgment and Punishment" video, it is another Jinjer song with different percussion styles.

[@futurewavecs]

Judgement and Punishment with the Reggae sections definitely does make it interesting. I actually would recommend the video of Tatiana standing there singing it as opposed to the official video that doesn't show the band at all. I prefer watching performance rather than watching some movie stuff.

[@bjhellstream]

Well, Vlads drumming on Pisces is amazing. It's all in the details.

[@NZWozza]

The ironic thing is that video was filmed to showcase Vlad - but everyone gets distracted! lmao

[@hemlock399]

I'm not a drum expert, but I suspect that Under The Dome is a more technically interesting drum song. Drum Playthrough: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHbLp6GNbL-tqbM&ab_channel=NapalmRecords

[@notimportant3686]

agreed.... i'm surprised he got recommended perrennial for drums specifically

[@j.f.fisher5318]

The live at Wacken version of this song shows Tatiana doing her savagely beautiful thing on stage. Vlad was classically trained as a pianist before learning drums which probably influenced his drumming style.

[@ralphwiggum6385]

Hey Jeffrey! 👍

[@j.f.fisher5318]

@@ralphwiggum6385 :) howdy!

[@ryanexsus]

What's crazy about Vlad is not only is he a multiinstrumentalist, but he's only been playing drums for like 5-6 years.

[@mutatednut]

God damn he’s a beast

[@plagueatheart]

Yes I've waited so long for this thank you you're the best

[@GregPYatesJr]

I've been waiting for this video for SO LONG!!! Vlad is AMAZING!!

[@austinhaynes2873]

Been waiting for this one!

[@EetYajKundorp]

Yes!! Jinjer! As many have said the vocalist (Tatiyana) is singing AND growling. They have a live performance of this song at Wacken you should watch, and Vlad’s drumming on the live session of “Pisces” is stellar. So groovy.

[@Aeis_Kalt]

Every member of this band is insanely talented. Jinjer is the Rush of Djent/Melo-Death Metal.

[@stevekallio6783]

Great reaction and very informative. My brother is a drummer, and has been for almost 50 years. I just love Jinjer, and yes all of the singing and growls are done by Tatiana, she is a vocal beast. Vlad is a phenomenal drummer. I'm gonna suggest a possible future reaction video and that video is by Jinjer's previous drummer to Vlad, and his name is Dmitry Kim. The video/song is Captain Clock, playthrough Dmitry Kim. That song is insane, and Dmitry also plays insane on that track. Keep up the great reactions, and as always, stay Metal my friend. 😊🤘🤘🤘🎶🎶🎶

[@murmeli8791]

Vlad has such a good groove when he plays. I really enjoy Jinjer, they're never boring. I noticed that there's no Finnish drummers on your channel and I think it's time to see Kai Hahto playing Sons of Winter and Stars :)

[@joemcguire5866]

JINJER - Pit of Consciousness (Drum Cam Footage) this is one you should check out.

[@HMan2828]

If you listen to other songs from Jinjer, it becomes blindingly obvious that all three instrumentalists have at least had part of their training as jazz musicians. Vlad weaves in triplets, false notes and flams a lot, and plays with dynamics a lot.... He's also a seasoned session multi-instrumentalist, piano is his first instrument.

[@ftasenotfed]

Vlad is right handed but plays open handed. Rumor has it he also grew up playing piano and he's decent at guitar as well. He flips his sticks and yes all the vocals including growls is Tatiana Shmaylyuk. At the time you paused and commented on the track suit jacket you missed the K custom tattoo he has on his forearm.

[@mattn1093]

For another look at Vlad live, check out Who Is Going To Be the One by Jinjer.

[@Roller4x4]

The drummer from Epica is also awesome....

[@gtrsean2429]

As said , Vlad is a Classically trained Pianist since a child. He also composed Perennial and the majority of Jinjer's music since he joined in '17. They have a new album due out soon and it's been told by Eugene that Vlad has composed most of it. Tatiana writes 95% of the lyrics and all her vocal melodies style uses etc.

[@quinnkirk7519]

If he thinks her growls are crazy/scary/impressive in this, just imagine his reaction to Home Back or even Vortex 😮😂😂😂

[@theidajawho]

My fav drum song from Jinjer is "Teacher, Teacher". Great blast beats. Him going high with the sticks I think keeps him more on time. Check out "Pieces" also. Watch them for yourself if for no other reason.

[@TwoandaHater]

Chris Allison on Plini's Glass Bead Game

[@wgoms]

You must check Jinjer - Ape (vlad playthrough)

[@carolinehaf21]

I would LOVE to hear you review Jinjer's song "Pisces"... its an incredible song with so many gorgeous drum dynamics and timing changes (more than this song) and I ADORE Vlads playing on that plus the video (recorded in studio) shows quite a bit of him.

[@Hemi_the_BlackSheep]

That is her growling. YES. you should do a reaction to her vocals in Pisces. its A M A Z I N G.

[@ЛимпКот]

Under The Dome drum play through by him please.

[@eduardoteodoro2300]

Great content! It's great to see this drummer in action. I'd recommend you check the song "Pisces"(studio live version) just because of the way Vlad uses ghost notes in there. Should be a cool topic to get into.

[@kendalltownsend241]

I need to know his cymbals man. I love the dry sound from them.

[@richardmonroe7381]

“Under the dome” one take studio from Vlad (Jinjer) the song is WAYYY more complex & intense!! And Yes that’s all her👍👍

[@janfransson5910]

Vlad is right-handed, just started playing with open stance and stuck with it.

[@Acekhan201]

Oh, Vlad represents the Slavic nation more than any of them, lol. He wears a full Adidas track suit for their official video of "On the Top".

[@NZWozza]

Because you mentioned I Wrestled a Bear Once - Have you heard Courtney's current band 'Spirit Box'?

[@towertito2149]

I'm an "open" player. Or technically a lefty who's more comfortable on a right handed kit. Vlad is a huge inspiration atm on drums for me. Been messing with lots of his songs on my kit

[@metatron333ascension]

Some of the members of i wrestled a bear once is now in Spiritbox check them out. But Tatiana in jinjer is the best female growler out there. Vlad is such an amazing drummer

[@GregPYatesJr]

BTW, Vlad's blast beats are the CLEANEST in the game!! He's a fucking machine!!!

[@A7Xspazz]

Check out who is going to be the one or home back

[@austinhaynes2873]

Surprised you didn't pick up on the fact his whole kit it's pitched forward like 12°

[@paulskinback717]

Vlads also a pianist to he has a concerto on KZbin if you type in vlad on piano. I love jinjer tatiana has a beautiful voice

[@corrob]

that's all Tatiana singing, she is a BEAST of a vocalist, her cleans are jazzy and beautiful, her growls are amazing, her lows rival most male vocalists. Vlad is an amazing drummer & musician. Each of the 4 members are amazing at their instrument, very proficient band, with a style of metal that encompasses many genres

[@Scirzo]

Please do another Vlad drum cam video!

[@rickpage8147]

check out the song pices live session... was Vlads test song for the band. he is a fairly recent addition

[@andrewheld4047]

All of that is her!

[@jabberwokee4127]

Tati's growls & singing FTW! Nice reaction.

[@maaronsmith]

You've GOT to do the drum playthrough of their song "Under the Dome" you will love it, Vlad is one of the most exciting drummers in metal right now. Jinjer is the best band on Earth right now. You should also check out their song "On the Top" live in Kiev. It really shows off his use of two high hats. He usually plays with a second one tucked way back that he only uses with his left foot. Just subscribed to see you do more Jinjer!!

[@alexwashburn7272]

I heard that he is right handed but was trained in piano so he learned to be ambidextrous

[@SoiledWig]

i wonder if his piano training lends to his choice of an open hand stance on drums.

[@casandraadugyamfi]

I prefer the Under the Dome drum playthrough. Yes that's her growling.

[@stangriffinstan_the_alaska9668]

So this band is special next level stuff the Jinjer rabbit hole it's epic and you really need to see it . Tatiana's the Queen of harsh vocials in my opinion. Vlad is classical trained pianist. Peace from Alaska.

[@DaintyMacroHobbit]

To answer your question, yes that is Tatiana, the lead singer doing the growls. I'd argue she's one of the best growlers in the genre, period. You should check out some of their other stuff.

[@notowar5560]

Yes, Tatiana sings clear and with growls, i recommend you checking more of their shows. The whole band is amazing, musics are top tier, singer is just otherworldy. If you are specifically focused in frums, check their song Teacher Teacher.

[@FHB71]

Vlad is actually a multi instrumentalist and he is also writing a lot of the music for Jinjer! I actually like the music of Jinjer since he is the drummer and I am not so fond of their music before Vlad joined ... and yes, Tatiana does the growling!

[@Canthus13]

Check out the live take of Pisces for a really good showcasing of Vlad's playing. And Vortex is yet another take on his playing. He's extremely versatile. Certainly in the top 50 all time.

[@ballaholla2811]

You gotta check out the Mediator and Vortex playthrough by Vlad.

and then Judgment and Punishment. You get all this + Jazz + Reggae.

Another great video! If I can make another suggestion, Jordon Mancino from As I Lay Dying would be a great drummer to react to. Unfortunately there isn’t any good drum videos on him in As I Lay Dying, but there’s a great video from when he used to be in this side band called Wovenwar. The song is called “The Mason”. Also, I think you’ll like his beard ;)

[@jeremyrossi4211]

Clad plays open handed because he started as a piano player so it feels more natural

[@jamestalkington6306]

What the hell does bury the beater mean?

[@brandonhurrera6604]

Upon hitting the bass drum with the foot pedal you simply do not let up once it strikes. Instead you let it rest on the drum until you strike again. It is a timing thing.

Dude....you absolutely HAVE TO check out Evgeny Novikov from Slaughter to prevail/Katalepsy. He's a freakin alien.

[@JimboKM]

Yeah, that's her. I could barely hear the music but the subject matter interests me. Since Jinjer consider themselves progressive metal, and they have many songs with odd time signatures, I hope you will continue exploring this band.

[@2dubspercussion130]

Hell yeah brother! Love this band! Tatiana blows me away and I love how Vlad will sneak in some ghost hits. And hey.. I play open handed... Just sayin

[@johnswarrior]

1. It is Ukraine ('the' is dropped since independence 30 years ago) 2. Not British last names can also be American ones, and a lot 3. American music is originally European in many ways 4. Take care

[@rofyle]

So I take it you've never heard of Arch Enemy, The Agonist, Straight Line Stitch, Cerebral Bore, Abnormality, Infected Rain, Otep, Within Temptation . . . . Female growlers have been around for a long time. Well before I Wrestled A Bear Once. Jinjer here has been going strong for 11 years and counting. They're releasing a new song tomorrow.

[@Dark__Thoughts]

To be fair, as far as Jinjer goes they weren't well known until Pisces started to go viral either. Not even in the metal scene.

You should definitely check out Shuhei Kamada's drumming with Imperial Circus Dead Decadence. Not as mainstream as some other stuff you've reacted to, but very worth looking into.

[@titifatal]

Vlad sounds like a jazz or classical piano cat to me. This would also explain the open hand dexterity and precision work, the layout of his drums with cymbals on top of each others ... and all. Thanks for all the work. Good review. I must say, I have a couple of things to say to the extraneous stuff in the review. - Eurovision (bubblegum + politics) not worth talking about in the context of real life music and musicians. - Sounds like the only metal you ever heard is Wake me up inside (Bring me back to life) ... and you don't sound very enthused ... so, maybe holding off commenting on things we don't know or understand is the way to go. - Anti-slavic jokes (and they are that), also not necessary (just bad vibes). - Fashion commentary from a Levi's wearing middle aged man ... I don't know. I would avoid the topic (no matter how many memes i have come across). - You may have missed a few things in term of the composition and where the drums fit in (as they are playing as a uint and mess with time and space - not necessarily all at the same time). Watch the actual live performance from Waken ... maybe you will see what I mean. - The reason the vocals offend your voodoo child sensibilities is because of the harmonic progressions in combo with the modal scales ... leading into a chromatic step that makes (in your experience) the pentatonic a six tone scale ... anyway, insulting a whole continent while making claims to someone else's culture .. also not my first choice. But hey. You ar doing you. I respect that.
