MUSIC DIRECTOR REACTS | JINJER - Vortex (Official Video) | Napalm Records

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

EDIT: The artist I meant was Salvador Dali. Mental flop there! For live content catch me on Twitch. www.twitch.tv/drumrolltony Video Question: IF you venture into a casino... do you prefer card games, slot games or table games?

I mean, if I were in Vegas specifically, I'd be way too busy going to all the wonderful restaurants, heh. But in a casino in general... I dunno, I'm not much of a gambler. I understand the math too well, lol. So for that reason, I'd say probably Blackjack, as it's the only game in which you can theoretically expect to beat the house if you're very, very good at it (but if you aren't, you'll only lose around 1% per hand on average and so your money will last a good long while).

[@blitzofchaosgaming6737]

I wouldn't go into a casino period. The biggest gamble there is do you catch anything and die?

[@spiderbass65]

Funny, I knew you meant Dali, not James and the Giant Peach haha! This band is all top notch, just saw them in Boston. I’m not a big metal fan, but Jinjer is so progressive I just love them.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

@@spiderbass65 Yeah I went back after recording and was like... oooops hahah

[@Skurian_krotesk]

More of jinjer pls. Vlad is an amazing drummer and he even composed some of their songs. One of the most chaotic ones he has done is called "ape". Very complex song and really heavy. If you want to hear a older one i would really recommend "exposed as a liar". This is my favourit jinjer song and in my opinion it is extremely underrated.

[@paulorovisco2108]

I love that song, "Ape"

[@jabberwokee4127]

Great reaction. Vortex is off their latest album Wallflowers, released in Aug of 2021. I’d recommend Pit of Consciousness live in Kiev. You won’t regret it. More Jinjer please and thank you! 🍻🤘

[@maaronsmith]

And "On the Top" live in Kiev while you're at it!!

[@omegashinra7672]

Man that instrumental work at 5:00 is just one of my absolute favourite riffs/drums in metal ever. It just feels like 3 guys jamming out together, almost in a garage band way, but it also just sounds so technical and groovy. All 4 of the band members just click so well together it's insane.

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Some people (reactors, too... they're people, right? ;-) think what they're seeing is a swirling vortex from space or something with some kind of awesome trash monster game-like character, when what they're actually witnessing is the brutal place that is Tatiana's troubled inner psyche of uncontrollable thoughts and emotions. Tati is such a complex, dichotomy of a richly talented yet sensitive and unassuming superstar. I simply love her, the guys and their awesomely powerful music. Thx, Tony!

[@dimitrasotirakoglou2553]

I waited for this My favorite song by them,when i first heard it I couldn't find balance between sound and music styles,her vocals helped me a lot to comprehend what i was hearing.. I found them extremely talented to the point that makes you jealous of them . Thank you for your reaction

[@hectorchavez5913]

the new album is a musical work of art, give it a review, good reaction

[@johnnorton971]

Last time the wife and I went to Vegas was Halloween 2021 for our wedding anniversary to see JIinjer at the House of Blues.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

That sounds like a good trip

[@johnnorton971]

@@DrumRollTonyReacts We are from Reno so it was not for the night life. Found some great restaurants and Jinjer crushed it live. They were supposed to play Reno on the second half of their North American tour but the Ukraine conflict cancelled that. The guys are still in Kyiv.

[@seban678]

Amazing song, and amazing analysis! You pick up on things so damn fast, it's great to watch ;) Afaik Vlad uses a 10" (piccolo) snare as well as a 16" one. Also I think the artist you're thinking of is Salvador Dali, Roald Dahl is the Charlie and chocolate factory dude lol.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

100% Dali. After I went and looked...I was like... well shit. Lmao

[@beldavius]

Yes, this song is off their newest album, just came out not too long ago.

[@Neal_YouTube]

Dude, nice reaction/commentary. I'll have to watch more of your stuff.

[@jonrogers1497]

I'm stoked to watch you dissect their sound. You're bringing the kind of knowledge I feel needs to be applied to some of their songs. Really, really neat stuff.

[@henryoddsball2164]

Such a masterpiece. Everything about that song is reflected in the name. The vocals descend in a circular way, the instruments all sound circular, the lyrics reflect it as well. Tailor fit for a circle pit!

[@megamcee]

You should check out Teacher Teacher too. I bet you'll love the bass at the end lol

Second this recommendation! So many reactors are like, wait, what, where did that noise come from?

Got here for the premier!!!

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

Thanks for being here early! 🤟

[@JonNo86]

Their drummer Vlad is literally the glue that holds this band together. He writes most of their music and he's originally a classical pianist and guitar player. Check out their newest video which is a drum playthrough of the song Copycat!

[@timdempsey3218]

“Who is gonna be the one” ! “Scissors” really all there stuff!

[@spiknaaj]

Definitely check out the bass playthrough and drum playthrough! Adds even more to an already badass song. Love the reaction! 🙌🏻

[@gregcissell345]

I seen Eugene talking about his bass rig and he’s using I think he said Ampeg with it miked up plus a direct out and another ampeg with a heavy over drive miked up and a preamp lined out.

[@sterok2891]

If you want some live songs, there is their concert at Hellfest 2021. The full show is on the ARTE Concert youtube channel and it's so good ! The last song of the show is vortex btw if you want a live performance.

[@palladinodessa8988]

Great song, I knew you would be trying to track all the changes 🤣 They have a song called Ape that is all over the map too. I would say next try Pit of Consciousness Live in Kiev or Teacher Teacher OMV - both solid choices. Jinjer (as you are finding out) almost never have the same song structure - their composition is always varied as can be their style too. Keep it up, you have a really fresh view of them that is fun to watch and interesting to see because you pick up on different things. I know it all just rocks and pick up some of the subtleties after many listens. 🤘

[@f1akman]

Love seeing reactions from people within music. It helps me appreciate things even more. I think Perennial Live at Wacken and Who Is Gonna Be The One Live at Atlas are great ones to check out, plus anything live in Kiev. Sound quality and mix is excellent and they showcase the musicians well. Of course, Tati is amazing as usual. Cheers on the reactions!

[@kellybailey1377]

J I N J E R !

[@davidy6472]

Yes this song is newer. Vlad wasn't the drummer during the time when pisces was wrote and definitely added something different from the original studio version. And as someone else mentioned he is involved in alot of the newer compositions in other ways than just drumming. He plays piano guitar and who knows. I believe they gave him credit for alot of there newest album .

[@NativeNewMexican]

Former professional poker player here. I'm digging your insights and joy when you hear something impressive. A quick reaction you may want to do to spice up your NW/Jinjer journey is ClownCore's Earth. It's short and damn fun for drummers like yourself.

[@Berglundish]

Wow dude! Great reaction! New fan! Subscribed! Btw: The drummer (Vlad) is SELF THAUGHT.....

[@ballaholla2811]

Vlad uses a "standard" Yamaha snare and has a piccolo snare as well. Starting with the piccolo in the intro, then to the standard snare for the verse, etc. Love when he switches between them.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

I just went back and listened again. What a great musician

[@ballaholla2811]

@@DrumRollTonyReacts you should check out his playthrough videos. He does one of Vortex at a live show plus many more. Hes incredible as is the whole band. Keep reacting!

[@SarahRichardsGraba]

This song is sick and gets better with each listen. Really liked your insights on the drum and bass. Keep going with Jinjer! There is more to discover 🤘🏼 Video question: in general I prefer cards (love playing Texas hold em and five card draw), but in a casino, I actually prefer slots. This is because I want to people watch, have a drink/snack, talk with my buds, etc. And slots don't require a lot of attention 😂 Also, the most money I ever won from gambling in Vegas was off of slot machines (enough to treat my companions and I to a nice dinner and get VIP treatment at the club that night), so go figure 🙃

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

Sounds like that was a huge win

[@neilpatrickhairless]

4:58 - Jinjer has this sound that reminds me of a machine chewing through something. I suppose that makes sense as their logo is a graphical depiction of the head of an exploratory drill mining bit. Mining is the main industry in Horlovka, Ukraine, where they are from, and resources in that area are one of the reasons for the war that is currently ongoing there.

[@Swollen_Goat]

I don't think I will ever get tired of how damn good this band sounds. Tatiana is just so entrancing with how she performs and sounds and continues to get better and better. On a side note, absolutely love how low down Vlad's drums sit. None of his cymbals ever go above breast high. Such a weird thing to see in metal.

[@jnmbpa]

As you surely have noticed already, no two Jinjer songs are alike. Keep listening to Jinjer, every song has something different about it. I never like bands that have growls or screams, but this incredible band has had me since the first time that I heard Pisces. I’ve also never been big on live performances, but Jinjer is amazing live. They play so well together. I recommend listening to “Who’s gonna be the one” and “Teacher Teacher”. Whatever Jinjer you listen to next, I’ll be there. Liked and sub’d.

[@tommymcgrory9039]

Never noticed the bell patterns until you mentioned it, but as a bassist I usually concentrate on Eugene

[@antimatter2380]

Do believe the drummer's playing a 2nd snare at the beginning. And it's Salvador Dahli that did the melting clocks.

[@briangood2048]

Right. Roald Dahl is the author, lol

[@gregcissell345]

He has a few live drum play throughs you should check out .

[@dmann05]

There is a live drum playthrough of this on KZbin that might be easier on your eyes and lets you see what he is playing a lot easier than this chaotic video.

[@throfur3489]

Gotta do "who is gonna be the one live" to really get a look on Eugene on the bass.

[@davidy6472]

He has a 10 inch snare between his Tom and floor tom he added recently.

[@maxreach]

Vlad added one more snare drum (10 inch if I'm not mistaken) in this album and one base drum as a floor tom.

[@benwoning945]

Liking your style Tony. In case it hasn't been mentioned, Vlad plays a weighted snare these days. At approx. 1:05 in your video you can see it. El Estepario Siberiano is a great drummer to check out for his use of it, oh and he has a cowbell and isn't afraid to use it.

[@RalphCahill]

Pisces, the first song you did was written before Vlad even became their drummer. They recorded that version because Vlad's arrangement was distinctly different than the original composition with a lot more ghost notes and some different fills. Everything else you've reacted to was written by Vlad himself so the drum composition is more his own rather than an interpretation of another drummer's composition.

[@77aleks77100]

This song is written by drummer-multiinstrumentalist Vlad like 9 of 11 songs of this album.

[@chriso6719]

This is my favorite song on the newest album, Wallflowers, released last year. For more from them, try Teacher Teacher, and I Speak Astronomy. I'm not a gambler, so Casino's don't really interest me.

[@TheGregh1977]

wallflower is one of their new ones. really good the two live tracks in kiev are great as well. check out some spiritbox if you like jinjer.

[@ALive-ti9ri]

You should do Pit of Consciousness Live at Kiev next 💛

[@MRxMADHATTER]

Craps is King. Do some Old School Jinjer. "Scissors", "Outlander", and if you liked "Vortex", then you have to do "Disclosure" and "Prophecy".

[@lazarusblack9995]

You meant Salvador Dali. Roald Dahl was the author behind Willy Wonka, BFG, James & the Giant Peach, and Matilda.

[@telecastersaremetal6648]

"Several more listens!" lolol Good luck! I've listened to this entire new album 30 times and still can't get my guitarist brain around half of it. It's so freaking good though...Def feel it's Roman's best work out of all their albums. Look forward to the next song, Sir. My favorite off this album is "Pearls and Swine"; It's like guitarist porn. lolol

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

Right!? Lmao. Musicians are so cool

[@carlgalilee7339]

Haha, totally with you on this. I blame Roman for my current journey down the road of Drop A, and he's right at the top of my pile of inspirational players at the moment. Never flashy or really that technical if you break them into a few bars at a time, but damn they are a physical and mental workout if you want to try and get through a whole song. I have a few of their older songs under my belt, but the Wallflowers album just leaves me bamboozled! I'm pretty sure I read an article where Roman mentioned this album was pretty challenging to master as many of the riffs were Vlad's compositions.

[@markblalock6579]

This is the first release from the latest album, Wallflower. Something I love with this band is the ability to fill the sound as if there was another musician in there with them. Eugene will almost take the lead with the way the music is written. Super clever (for lack of better word) writing. I have waited a long time for a band that I can say I love everything they do.

[@sugraf]

It would be so interesting to see your reaction to Spiritbox - Rule of Nines

[@casandraadugyamfi]

[@Flesharrower]

All three of the guys have done playthroughs where the camera just stays on them. You might find that more interesting, you certainly see a lot more of what they're up to when the focus is off Tati.

[@j.f.fisher5318]

Tatiana gets enough praise that few fans and will hold it against you focusing on the music and she certainly wouldn't. Their new album has a lot of 90s alt rock influences, with the beginning of Vortex xoundimg very influenced by Would from AIC. In 9 of the 11 songs on the album Vlad the drummer took the lead in composition, in contrast to their other work that was mostly composed by their guitarist Roman.

[@The_Music_Source]

you gotta check out teacher teacher by them next the music video

[@uncle_thulhu]

Uhh...that would be Salvador Dali. Roald Dahl wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

[@badm0t0rf1nger]

Vlad is one of those high-IQ guys who's easily bored, so expect *plenty* syncopation! This song is from last year's "Wallflowers" album, ~80% of the music for which was composed by Vlad.... not that surprising when you realise he's actually a classically trained pianist to trade!! #AnnoyinglyTalented LOL He only switched from (self-taught) guitar to (self-taught) drums in his previous band because he felt that would be easier than conveying his ideas for more interesting drumming to a new drummer o_O Anyhoo.... this took my song of the year for 2021, & being a bass player, Eugene's playing in this almost had me go & spend money I don't have on a decent 5-string. Check out the bass playthrough vid he uploaded for this sometime- it's an absolute drop-A 5-string #MasterClass The slides, the casually fingernail-raked chordals, even a little slap&pop where few others would think to place it.... & yet always tasteful, & to the betterment of the song. He's just *so* good. :)

[@module79l28]

Ah... the song that has no chorus. Try to notice that the next time(s) you listen to it. 😉 Also, Eugene has a fatter sound than usual in this song because he used distortion on the bass. There's a one-take bass playthrough of this song on their official YT channel and the first thing he says in the description is exactly "better with headphones". 😀

[@maaronsmith]

[@dannylucas4132]

[@Marin_Huron]

Another great reaction! There are so many recommendations I can give you but I feel I should stay close to Jinjer, both musically and geographically. The band Infected Rain, from Moldova, has gotten quite big in the last few years, deservedly so. Although, it is their earlier songs I like more. One of their first is Enslaved by a Dream. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mprVgYl7nZqbgMk&ab_channel=InfectedRain Most of their early work has a sort of a melody, melancholy sound or groove that floats throughout the songs, on top of many cool ideas while still being very heavy and, at times, much heavier than many other bands that like to think of themselves as heavy (a lot like Jinjer). The vocalist, Elena Cataraga aka Lena Scissorhands, has some of the dirties lows in the business. I know you don't listen to the lyrics on first go but the music video tells a story, helped a lot by the lyrics, with many artistic choices. I honestly don't know why it is not much more known. It is in my must experience metal songs+videos, alongside Jinjer - Pisces and Electric Callboy - Hypa Hypa that you have already seen. If you would fancy a live performance, I feel that with your passion for drummers it is high time you met the best metal drummer at the moment - Mario Duplantier. His brother and he form half of Gojira and the song The Gift Of Guilt (Live at Brixton Academy, London) showcases him pretty well technically, staminawise and showmanshipwise. He also has some cool drum videos that showcase him in isolation. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKPJo2yqa6uoirc&ab_channel=RoadrunnerRecords Hope you have a blast with them.
