OldSkuleNerd REACTION to JINJER - Under The Dome (One Shot Drum Playthrough)

[@stevendorsey4554]

Vlad is legit, and what is amazing, his first instrument is piano. I have come to realize, Jinjer is the new Rush...masters of their trades, with progressive time signatures and arrangements, socially conscientious lyrics, and genre blending, just with a more metal edge

[@crippiekaraoke6335]

Great reaction! He's a multi instrumentalist. He also plays guitar & there's an amazing video on youtube of him playing classical piano on youtube.

[@OldSkuleNerd]

I'll check it out!

[@billmacdonald]

He’s actually a classical and jazz trained guitarist and pianist. He just decided to take up drums one day. There is also video of him floating around playing guitar. He said his preference for open hand playing and a flat kit setup is due to his comfort with piano.

[@davidjames6036]

lol vlad is elite at classical and jazz.

[@strommi9373]

In my unprofessional Judgement I have to say that Vlad is one of the most precise drummers out there. Even in their Live videos ive never noticed a point where he either missed a note or was not in sync with the rest of the band.

[@Module79L]

It's usually the rest of the band that's in sync with him, since he's the one who has the click track playing in his in ear monitors. ; )

[@recurrencetheorem4264]

... a nice reminder of how good their older stuff is... Vlad killed it!

[@recurrencetheorem4264]

I wish they had static cameras. I would have liked to see the foot work.

[@rofyle]

He's a pianist. The waist level of his drum set up reminds me of the way a piano would sit.

[@barefootalien]

I was thinking the same thing! After watching him play the Rach C# Minor (such a fun song to play, but such precision needed for those interweaving chords), I'm hardly surprised that he doesn't need that much room. It seems like he kind of lays his drum kit out like a piano keyboard, with the drums and hi-hat like the white keys and the other cymbals like the black keys, woven together nice and close so he has tons of agility.

[@omega6962]

Jinjer группа, в которой четыре солиста! То, что они делают, просто шикарно. Это никогда не будет массовым продуктом, но в то же время никогда и не затеряется среди подобных. Если ты это действительно Слышишь, то получаешь настоящие эмоции!

[@chillymac4173]

Lol great reaction, truthfully love it because it brings attention to a little known Jinjer song. There are no bad Jinjer songs. Buy the whole album no fillers. Best band on the planet.

[@etessier87]

The most impressive part to me is the fact he can stay focused enough for them off timed snare hits with Tatiana going nuts in the background

[@Grims_TV]

I played drums for 12 years the only 14" is his Hi-hat, the 2 cymbals above the hi-hat look to be 19" or 20" the Oriental to the back left side of the hi-hat is 18" most Rides are 20" and the other two cymbals above the floor toms could be 16" - 18" but I am just guessing here

[@benmacdhui]

As mentioned Vlad is a classically trained musician. The name of university escapes me now, in my opinion, he's *The Best* metal drummer currently. Completely owned his kit.

[@ipcipc7760]

Man, you missed opportunity for double reaction on Vlad. He finished music school for classical piano, and then switched to playing drums. He also posted a video of him playing Rahmaniov piano concert right before this video. I think seeing him playing classical piece like that, after playing the drums explain lots about his musical geniality and genuinty! Sorry for my bad English it is not ma native language, keep up the good work OSN.

[@hiawatha.g]

The jazz comment is right on the money. The bar to be taken seriously in jazz is much higher than in rock (and I say that as a rock fan). Vlad can clearly drum circles around most rock drummers. He doesn't need to hide behind a huge jungle of gear. I'd be very curious to see him do a whole jazz set.

[@farrellschultz1111]

I love the tutorial you do along with reacting to the video. Most people are just watching and in awe of what they're watching but you actually through a little knowledge at your followers. Great review.

[@samc4765]

He makes it look almost effortless, but a couple hundred shows a year will definitely help dial in the muscle memory to make it look easier than it is. But he is a beast live and bro is usually sweating buckets. They are all so tight live, and definitely worth seeing if you get the chance.👍🤘

[@fartvader84yearsago8]

The Pisces video was actually made to showcase him. He was the new drummer at the time, the studio version of the song with the old drummer is different.

[@NotTooLate]

Thank you so much for your reactions. It is very interesting to hear your opinion

[@shaunbryan3421]

We really have to give some props for the cameraman for getting some excellent and tight shots. Vlad could have impaled him with one of the drumsticks. Get it Vlad impale. God I need to get some sleep. Lol

[@davidsimonds7963]

What i like about them doing playthroughs is it shows us just how much goes in to the piece their playing

[@TheRobertJohnsen]

One of my favorite Jinjer tunes! Dip a sail is too!

[@blindbubba9001]

....the word that comes to mind is languid...no wasted effort at all...amazing drummer...best band on the planet....thanks man...peace...

[@MrGill085]

You should also check out his piano and guitar playthroughs!

[@Neal_YouTube]

I wish the ride 'bells' were mic'd better for this, as those hits after Tatiana sings "Under this dome of ignorance" in the chorus really do it for me on the studio version.

[@pympin87]

i really like his snare and kick tone ... but his tone in general is great

[@frankhermansen243]

👍👍, thats a total of 3 Likes for this reaction 🤘

[@Module79L]

2:20 I'd say you NEVER see it in Metal, period. One thing I noticed is that his snare is huge! It's almost the same diameter of the big floor tom. Fun Fact 1: you might not know this but this isn't Vlad's work, it was created by the previous drummer, Dmitriy Kim, since this song is from the King of Everything album. Fun Fact 2: Yes, the same Dmitriy Kim who is credited at the end for mixing the audio on this video. : )

[@oldscratch3535]

They've been playing this song live with Vlad since 2016. One thing I don't particularly like about Vlad's interpretation is it doesn't use the ride bell as much or at least its not as prevalent in this recording as it is on the album. That ride bell on the album is fire.

[@j.f.fisher5318]

also, since this is one of their less well-known songs, I doubt they have played it in concert since he joined. So I'm guessing he probably just learned it, either during lockdown to keep busy, or else specifically for this video.

[@Module79L]

@@j.f.fisher5318 - Old Scratch is right. If you search for Under The Dome live you'll find two bootlegs from 2016, one from Bulgaria and one from the first time they played here in Portugal. And what's most astounding is that the two concerts have only 4 days between them. : )

[@chadvarnell1889]

Size generally = volume. Especially with heavier cymbals. They won't flex and move as much so more surface area to get volume. I have a variety of cymbals that I pair up to match whatever style of music I play.

[@wine.knight]

Good reaction once again! Very cool to see someone pointing out that people like me would miss out about the sets and way they play! Really amazing song too! But I have to say, I really hate how the video was shot. All that moving with the camera was really distracting me from everything else.

[@chadwright7614]

Rock on

[@DeepInsideTA]

U have to add a playlist with jinjer reaction

[@Jbur63]

Between the Buried and me - Extremophile Elite live!!!

[@pympin87]

i thought he was turning his hand to strike the bell of the ride

[@vanlepthien6768]

For Jinjer jazz, have you heard "Beggar's Dance" from "King of Everything"?

[@alexknysh886]

+1

[@timhutchinson8485]

The other thing I notice about his setup (aside from the things you mentioned) is he seems to use a LOT of cymbals.

[@urbandahlman1555]

I´ve never have put a comment. But your reacting is awesome! We definently share the love for Jinjer!! Probably the best allowerband on earth just now, according to me!!!! I also a fan of Sabaton; because i`m from sweden!! But you missed the best Sabaton performance ever! You should check out "En livstid i krig" Live in Gothenburg....You have to do the translation by your self!!!! Then there is some other bands you have to check out..... Amon Amarth!!! Swedish Death/Viking Metal band!! Stonehard and awesome!!! Korpikklani....a Finnish Folk/metalband that is realy awesome!! And you have to listen to Raubtier..... Swedish "Panzarmetal" when is best!!! This is actually the first time I coment a reactionwideo, but I`ve like your reactions, and I´ve think we have almost the same taste of music..... maybe because im a little bit older.... About age......I`ve also wish a reaction for Deep Purple.... " Lazy"!!!!! And.... If you ...after the Covid shit will come to sweden and se some realy god shit live..... just PM me!!!!

[@urbandahlman1555]

And..... Sorry for my bad speling, I an as you probably understand from Sweden!!

[@TheGlass1969]

Check his instagram. He is playing slipknot on the guitar.

[@JimboKM]

I think he's found his calling.

[@Ineluki_Myonrashi]

I love Vlad's drumming, but one has to wonder what that cameraman thought he was doing.

[@4837464]

Getting viewers seasick was probably it

[@billpeters9999]

It looked like it was recorded by the same people that filmed Blair Witch Project

[@Module79L]

It was shot by the same guy who produced the videos for Perennial and Judgement (& Punishment). ; )

[@Neal_YouTube]

He was trying to give it more energy, but he really needs to tone it down some.

[@Dilligff]

Vlad's movements are so tight the cameraman had to add the flourishes. :P

[@CDMS_pt]

SKITTLES PAY THE MAN, NOW.

[@OldSkuleNerd]

more likely to be sued than paid lol

[@TheOpportunityOnline]

Check out KRIMH ... one of my favorite drummer.

[@subzero2788]

This song came out before vlad became a member of jinjer

[@Neal_YouTube]

On your high hat comment, I think he has 2. One he hits, and one that sits low that is only used with foot pedal.

[@notimportant3686]

3:00 um... skittles are all IDENTICAL flavor, the different colors make your brain visually perceive different tastes

[@maaronsmith]

But.... did you notice all of the ghost notes? He is the ghost note king

[@василийильин-ю6у]

Yes Jinjer broken a metall stereotypes. Vlad is in glasses. Why not?

[@russellward4624]

Its like hes not even moving lol

[@p.o.9964]

Fix them glasses, he does so with out missing a beat.

[@beerisproof9019]

He plays open hand too, despite being righty.
