'I can slow it down to you, a little bit more, so you understand what's going on' - Kai Hahto, 2013

[@marcleblanc4479]

no...slower no...slower no...slower....ah fuck it

[@pete_lind]

@@MrDjTilo Not only that , craziest thing is that he only showed the slow drum parts of that composition . Kai Hahto drum cam , Wintersun , Sons Of Winter And Stars , kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmnCgZeriLCBjbc 12 min 54 sec How many views does it take to be able to repeat that ?

@@marcleblanc4479 Hahahahah!

[@nightwolf2666]

He's so technically sound, so professionally humble, wish more drummers had his character. Fantastic fills, footwork, etc.

[@shahfacekillah]

I've been playing drums for 20 years and I have no idea what dafuq he just did.

[@gmurph]

*You've won the internet lol*

Nightwish, you guys are lucky that you get to have Kai play the drums for you.

[@k.l.7788]

We know!

[@xooperz]

Simply the best drummer in the world...

[@dchacon7288]

xooperz thank you. you get it. Metal Lives \,,/

@@huskestativ calm down there buddy

[@genustinca5565]

Honestly I haven't heard this level of technical yet melodic collaboration between a drummer and guitarist since Chuck Schuldiner and Gene Hoglan in the 90s. Great stuff from Kai and Jari.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

I'm pretty sure this video was just with Kai and Teemu. But the whole song is obviously written by Jari.

[@mummyduck6748]

It actually baffles me how drummers do what they do. All I do is doff my hat to them and admire and respect them in blissful ignorance. Kai is one of the very best I've ever seen. That heal and toe thing between pedals was ridiculous 🤣🤣🤣. #NightwishArmy

[@Deviantloverable]

i just....wow!!!he is one of the best drummers i ever heard..and i heard him now??....he is just amazing

[@yorubaires2052]

The whole band is amazing..

[@jesusguerra1093]

What a beast, Nightwish is very lucky to have him now blasting the drums, that snare sounds so beautiful by the way.

[@JesterSam75]

Smiling...just watching with a smile on me face.

[@rostoccer]

Drummer of Wintersun: the most stressful job in the world

[@finmetalwarrior]

Especially since his boss, Jari is a perfectionist with absolute pitch ;D

[@Rosvosektori]

Bitch please, check Rotten Sound.

[@ssc00p]

@@Rosvosektori You mean when Kai was playing with RS... what's amazing about that Kai was drumming then without click track... so all his human metronome skills are pure af...

[@StrikerHS]

OMG Respect to those guys for exploding this album to pieces by releasing the isolated tracks and explaining the drum track. The iso orchestral track of this song sounds sooo good, it's a song itself without the other instruments. And Kai...4 words for this guy: You are my Mentor! I just finished my personal mastering of Time I on FL Studio.

[@darkdayze]

"It's really fun to play, thank you" I'm throwing my sticks away....holy crap.....\m/

[@jjptech]

As a human beign I hate how this robots are trying to mimic us, thanksfully they always get undercover when they do this perfect thing that we has humans can't do Look at 4:00 how with no shame he says "it is hard to nail... ... some times" He doesn't fool me!!!... I know what he really is!!!

[@mennawaris144]

Hahahahah!

[@loud7070]

What an amazing player and seems to be a genuine human being. Thanks

[@juhanikyllonen1899]

"Try it. It's pretty fun to play. Thank you..."

[@P4nzerk93]

I have seen the video from start to end like 3 times and I don´t even play drums.

[@JackOfHarts96]

+Ricardo Rivera Good fucking luck LOL.

[@eddieademi]

I've watched this video like 53 times and I enjoy watching it everytime.

[@b.entranceperium]

He's been killing it with Nightwish. Also drank some booze with him in Louisville, KY last year. Nice guy.

[@Sossie99]

Makes it look so simple which I suppose is the mark of a brilliant drummer.

[@Premdus]

"Lets see what happens ... " He fuckin nailed it everytime, that happend ! =D

[@SandraNelson063]

It's like Einstein trying to explain the Theory of Relativity to lemmings. And I'm a really stupid lemming. Sigh.

[@robdegast3612]

Easy for him, he's got four arms and four legs... 🤣🤣🤣 🤟

[@Monkster1987]

As a guitarist I can play this, looking on it from a drummer's point of view, my head exploded. I'm not a half bad drummer too. Way too many accents and fills for me.

[@chandlerbrown3172]

Kai is a wizard

[@Wormweed]

Crazy guy. Saw him live with Nightwish last year, but never been to a Wintersun concert, yet

[@MountainMetal]

They're so modest. Amazing guys.

[@AdolfoSalinasP]

It's very interesting how Kai feels the music and shows how you can be creative playing your drums arragements

[@TheModernHermeticist]

This man is brilliant

[@Quietus5]

Absolutely Amazing!!!!

[@patricia119]

He's awesome !

[@erwinsmith531]

This fella´s BADASS. Jaysus.

[@VikramShankarMusic]

"That's also really hard to nail.. sometimes." C'mon Kai, you don't have to be modest... :P

[@osmith9212]

+Vikram Shankar - Official (obelix5150) haha right? love em all the more for it tho

[@finmetalwarrior]

It is hard to nail sometimes, meaning just about never. Unless he's piss drunk.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

I guess the "sometimes" actually means that he once made a mistake there.

[@TheDrumminguy]

I would love to see a complete drum play through of sons of winter and stars!!

[@Metalbirdrummer]

RIghtLeftRightRightLeftRightReftLightReighLaighAighGha... damm, I think I'm lost xD

[@EnvyDrums]

Yeah it's tricky ! If you wanna learn it quick and good you can follow these three steps : 1 - focus on the right hand and learn its pattern 2 - now fill the blank with your left hand, should be easy if you know your 1st step 3 - add the snare, this is the tricky part cause both hands will play at the same time, first you need to know that there is 4 snares hit, first LEFT hand, second RIGHT, third RIGHT, last LEFT. Do it very slow and repeat just the 7 first hits (to the 2nd snare hit) then when you're confortable ust add the other notes and you're good to go :) It's funny when you learn these kind of fills after it's just automatic, you don't even process what's going on your body do it just like that... same for 2:37 ! Have a nice drumming time folks

[@MikkoRantalainen]

Is the sequence same as Super Mario cheat code?

[@tespiii]

"Let's fuck it up." I already did. And I don't even _own_ drums..

[@ThorsHamR]

cool stuff!!

[@viking_sith_lord]

[@flipmlbb]

Oh... The 1:27 part is the second half of that "Killer Riff"

[@TheGottvald]

I have no idea what's going on, but I'm impressed.

[@osmith9212]

fucking Kai man -- on his own level

[@aleksikarjalainen3096]

kai looks abit like sid from ice age, at the 8:00 part

[@timomastosalo]

Aloso the way he moves reminds me of Jukka in the Dudesons

[@TheSDM64s]

Really hard to nail... Sometimes XD

[@MikkoRantalainen]

1:03 "... comes around 4 minutes and 43 seconds ..." Typical Finn, always so inaccurate :D

[@thegaze4201]

let's fuck it up! :D

[@lukasaldrian3307]

Does he start the first part with his left or right foot Like a God \m/

[@AdolfoSalinasP]

I think he starts with his right foot 🤔

[@pookoos]

I honestly don't understand how drummers do what they do. It's sorcery to me...

[@dark5hadow]

Was that meant to be a tutorial?

[@dchacon7288]

Don't ever compare Metallicunt BS to Wintersun epic metal mastery! Not even close, different universe, higher metal consciousness. Lars Dullrich who? a has been! & Tho this is a few years old & Kai plays for other bands now, he was "instrumental" in the development of their unique sound. I doubt you're a 25+ years guitarist like myself, so do us all a favor & keep your dim witted comments to yourself. Metal Lives \,,/

[@jesusguerra1093]

The day that happens i will personally cut off my balls and eat them with sone spaguetti and a glass of red wine for the pain, maybe the whole bottle better.

[@timomastosalo]

Easily - but it wouldn't sound the same. People want to recognize the song too.

[@digimonkey7047]

might have, might have not... there is room for several drummer gods in the sky, just pick your one and let the other pick their :)

[@toivotonta7293]

This is really bad tutorial guys

[@digimonkey7047]

I do agree, every wanna-be and "i-have-been-kicking-cans-now-for-3-months" should start with this :)

[@MikkoRantalainen]

It seems that this tutorial is meant for people that have been playing drums professionally for 20 years already.
