Comparison doesn't mean to not appreciate. At least not for me. I like Jukka on "his" songs more than Kai. But I am sure I would miss Kai when Jukka played Kais songs. Even if they'd play exactly the same. There is no better or worse. It's just about style and taste. Still great thing about Kai is that he plays on Jukkas songs what Jukka played and doesn't change too much. That tells what a great musician Kai is.

Jukka has officially announced he will not be returning to nightwish as the bands official drummer. Kai has assumed the role of Nightwish's full time official drummer. Jukka, your stage presence and power will be missed. Kai, your skill and precision on the skins has been and will continue to be phenomenal. Although you've already been working with the band for 4 yrs, I think it's time we as fans officially welcome you to Nightwish.

@@talaniel They use a click track and a backing track via Pro Tools. Especially in songs like this one that's the only option. It's the only way to blend in the orchestra and the backing vocals. The same track is also used to trigger visual effects. As for the importance of drummers, every band member is very important. I'm a drummer myself and for me the bass player is very important. All that matters is how you perform as a band.
