One of the best drummers from Finland. He is amazing! Every player in Wintersun has god-like abilities to play their instrument.
I love them so much.
ToastedCigar I guess Hahto is in the list of the best drummers in the world
Amen!
InstaBlaster
He's so amazingly creative with the cymbals with small hits here and there and also his use of the bell. It's pure pleasure listening to his playing. I can honestly say I've never heard a more interesting drummer than Kai
Maybe check out mgla-exercises in futility V here on youtube the drum playthrough - alot of cymbalwork to
Insane drumming! With Jukka, Nightwish had already an epic drummer, but Kai is also from another planet ... respect!
Epic. Kai is such a beast! And I love Wintersun as well. Every finnish person should be proud of these incredibly talented people - even if they don't like metal music.
i'm glad i play the guitar so i don't have to compete with this rhythm god
The squence that starts at 03:30 up to 04:10 is just amazing. I dont know anything about druming but its just pleasing to watch him do that and how it fits perfectly with the music
Patrick Correia I am a drummer and this is the part that impresses me the most. Definitely the best part of the song for me. So so jealous of whoever arranged it lol
@@pwngrinder The singer Jari Mäenpää composes the Wintersun songs.
But I've heard he does listen to suggestions by the band members.
Maybe Kai is so crazy he got here what he wanted? :)
@@timomastosalo I think Jari generally lets Kai go wild with the drums from what I've understood
@@thosko98 Yeah, I've been thinking Kai has himself to blame for, what comes to the monster drum part in this song :)
Kai Hahto is a god I swear
I bet he started practicing in his mother's womb already.
His sound is so powerful and consistent. One of the best extreme drummers for sure.
true, true.. Nightwish please use his drumstyle to the max!!!!!!! This man is king! And that side hat he uses, i will offer one cymbal i have to create such a side hat to create a better situation for my drum skills :) Thanks for showing pearldrumsfinland!
DrumPorn at its finest I think Kai Hahto is the best drummer on this planet.
Pure Genius and Virtuoso, Mighty Kai Hahto 🖤
One of the most difficult drum playing I've ever scene in my life!! Good job man.. Respect
this guy is amazing, what an underrated drummer
for me , the best metal drummer, so far.
Those blast beats are so tight. Kai is a monster.
Truly mesmerizing to watch him play.
Always a pleasure to watch Kai drumming !!!
OMG! He´s amazing!!!! I love Pearl and Kai Hahto's sounds!!! ♥ Thanks!!!
So talented. Loved watching this.
That kit sounds so beautiful. I want my kit to sound like that.
Man.. best video I've ever seen of Kai
MASTERPIECE!!!!!!
Kai is One of the best
Drummer ever 🥁
I feel like i need a tank of oxigene just watching, can't imagine him. This man is like a machine. Amazing performing
aaaand he makes it look so easy...like a walk in the park...on a sunny day :D
How nice of Jari to compose a pit stop for the drummer in the middle of the song. Lol.
Lol a little mercy
I'm going to see them on their UK tour in July! Best gig of my life, I hope!
The definition of insanity on drums. Probably one of the worlds best time keepers. Power + Speed = Kai. If ur looking for grace and fluidity then look to Gavin Harrison. Neil Peart will always be my fav but much admiration for Gavin and Todd Sucherman. Lots of really great unknown drummers out there.
the perfect combination between techinque and brutality!! can´t wait to see them live!!.. and this song.. is like the perfect "metal anthem"
Great job, amazing band....
Just unbelievable!
I saw them live and I think Kai should be paid more than the other band members, he was obviously working much harder than anyone else. :)
Best drummer, epic music!
Happy Birthday Kai!
his cymbal work is just...fuckkng insane, good god damn
nobody switches left and right hand like that anywhere, wtf
arguably the greatest drummer of our generation
UAUAU! Incrivel!!! Vi Kai tocando no Nightwish e pensava que ele era muito bom, mas neste video dá pra ter noção do quanto ele toca demais!!!
So easy to get distracted by all the other stuff going on in this song and not realize how good of a drummer Kai is.
i always watch him speechless... fenomenal...
Got dam! Those blast beats !
Kai is like a batman here: the video quality doesn't allow you to see all the moves but you know he must have hit a symbal when you see it moving. There are sections where many symbals start moving in rapid succession without the video keeping up.
Saw them as support for COB in 2006. They hammered Alexi and co. off the stage. I dont mean COb were bad, but Wintersun was just too fucking mighty.
COB was always absolute dogshit live.
Well.....Alexi was at least....and considering he was lead guitar AND vocals.....kinda important
He's such an underrated drummer
Not underrated. Just unknown. Everyone who knows who he is rates him very highly.
Just amazing... perfect
Note the wrist action on the blastbeat boys and girls... and the speed.
Best drummer I KNOW for sure.
I saw a play through he did. I think he has one of those air-pressure hi hat pedals that can be set right next to the double pedal. I think he's hitting the hi hat pedal with his heel and the double pedal with his toe
Unlimited power!
the drums wern't written to go along with this song, they were tailored to it, as if jari heard the drums in his head and implanted the thought into kai's mind... epic
Nope. Jai gave him the recorded riffs. Kai then had to write them out, and work out the time signatures prior to coming up with the drum riffs go go underneath.
@@andyventures6574 I think you misunderstood my comment, I was just complementing Kai's drum writing skills, I have been fortunate enough to have a few hours drumming lesson with Kai and ask him about the process and there is alot of back and forth between Jari and Kai with Kai tracking drum parts and sending them to Jari and Jari then deciding what he likes and doesn't and then and giving feedback for changes etc until hes happy with the drumming, but I was just merely using the word "tailored" as a complement
@@jamesjackson4210 then we are talking the same thing 😊
is there anything better than seeing kai in his element?
Misericórdia!
This is the actual drummer for Nightwish? Really!? Fucking Amazing.
I was wandering if this was even possible to perform it live...
His Ride sounds so good!!
Kai Hahto, Mario Duplantier, Thomas Haake, Danny Carey, Baard Kolstadt, Martin Axenrot, Aric Improta, Matt Gartska, Steven Harris, the one from MGLA (dont know the name)and probably many more... But I can't process how crazy creative (and ofc good) these guys are on drums. I mean technical stuff is one thing, normally everybody gets there with practice, but these ideas and the execution of them are just completely crazy with this guys. Feel free to name more (Creative metal drummers, not super fast drummers)
The drummer from Mgla is Darkside. He's incredible.
5:42, what the f*&k did I just witness? mate, that's it, I quit drums.
hahaahha The whole pattern is just hipnotic
It's not...the hardest thing to play....really just the same rudiment over and over again but trying to use everything on the kit.
Daniel James Oh come on man... same rudiment all over the kit for twelve minutes??? This dude's control, sense of time, and stellar kick drum patterns are are all a thing of beauty.
MetalSkinz but....I was only talking about that one part the guy mentioned...
Dude that is so sick!! He does alot of those techniques in the Time 1 album
only crowd i've ever hear that attempted to adjust their tempo
Kai Hahto = GOD!!
Wintersun Jari is incredible, but Kai Hahto is pure Genius on drums...
Now that he's the permanent Nightwish drummer, I hope Tuomas will take the advantage of his skills.
I just red an article in Inferno, a Finnish music magazine, Nightwish invited them to listen to their upcoming album in advance to give a little teaser review, they wrote that Kai Hahto has been "unleashed" and that he will definitely play more like he himself would rather than follow Jukka's style.
I simply can't wait the new album 😍
Talbot Oh my god, Nightwish with Kai going nuts will make me orgasm so fucking hard as a drummer. 😂😂😂
@@dude97x The first good news I have seen this year.
Talbot Thank you for that!!
I hope kais replacement in wintersun is as good
somebody should show this to Lars Ulrich :D
+randomflashbacks Ulrich is a joke.
And you have no idea about playing styles.
for playing blast beats in metallica? hell no
@tormen I personally don't think they should've been replaced by more skillful artists. There's no need. They could be replaced by less skillful ones. But there aren't any to be found.
Ulrich is a god of Rythem and writing. A human metronome in his prime.
Just Fantastic
THAT....was terrifying. And....made the back of my knees damp.
I really miss Kai playing with Wintersun. Just saw them in Helsinki, and as a drummer I know that the sound is just not the same :(
Who the hell is drumming for them now?
@@cypherredux2771
Stratovarious is filling in for Kai
Is he playing both Wintersun and Nightwish?
A-Mazing! 2 minutes and on is pretty much godlike :)
Miten vitussa ihminen pystyy toimimaan noin, aivan käsittämätön suoritus :D Ei voi muuta sanoo ku hattua nostaa.
Starting at 4:40 playing the bottom of the hi-hats. Definitely the Jazz drummer in him.
(Y)!! man thanks for the heads up!!.. and well. i truly hopw so.!! cheers from mexico brother lmL!
I look forward to seeing his work on the new Nightwish album.
Pro and sick drummer.
one word!!! GOD!!!
he plays so fuckin tight.
this looks like a good cardio workout.... have been too lazy to try and play any wintersun material, looks like I need to up my game!
Jesus fuck that was awesome!
WOW!!
Wow! Kai:)
.... Madness....
So smooooth! I'd like to take a lesson with him.. And I will! Someday. :)
I dig 8:56 so much, the last crash is perfect :D
the best
I want drum notes! when thereis notes, thereis someone who will do it. just wanna see the drummer who does it. :D
Tuo mies ei ole tältä planeetalta... o.O
that's what i said when i saw him live, that man is not from this planet, haha
Yeah, winter wonderland of metal!
From comments I summoned this:
Kai is GOD
Kai is Jesus
Kai is Devil
Kai is not human
Kai is not Lars Ulrich
Kai is human metronome
Kai might be Barry Allen
I think it is Evans genera hd dry
I got Burnout while watching this 😂😂
So when Jari records these songs is he using a drum machine?
Just the forest season has programmed drum
Ei jumalauta. Tuossa täytyy syödä eväät välissä että jaksaa
The fast part starts around 10:50 :D
Wintersun sons of winter and stars @ nosturi 2012
is he a real human?
he did =)
He's literally jesus.
6:11 You called?
What´s the name of those things on top of the cymbals??
what things?
the cymbal locks or someting... but I already know the name
Cympads?
Pearl WL-200 Winglocks. Hope it helps! :)
they're called winglocks. Usually a nut called wingnut nut this is much more secure and doesn't loosen like wingnuts
Uk its dadi
I will...
What snare head is he using?
Cristiano Ronaldo is the Kai Hahto of football
You think you’re fooling us Barry Allen?
goddamn,im definetely not trying to play along this song.too much technique
Would be great if the video description told what pedals hes using
monttumopo I think he uses axis longboards. There's a video of him showing some tricks and licks where he describes his gear.
+monttumopo I'm pretty sure he's been using the Pearl Demon Drives exclusively for a while. I've seen other videos of him using those.
Aristillus1 he always use pearl demon drive
He's using Axis Longboards. They're usually what he uses with Wintersun. With Nightwish, he was using the Demon Drive(or the Eliminator, I forget)
@@nirmalpaul13 Did Kai have much to say with composing the drum section for this? I'm just guessing he might be so crazy as to challenge himself winded by this real hectic Marathon. And the break in the middle I would understand especially, if Kai got the last word on the drums :)
he is very good but how can he play the song over and over again?
He can. Check him out where he's playing same track live.
