thank you very much! cheers!-Kai
Wow, again, blown away to see you in the comments! Thank you so much! You are such a legend! 💪🥁
No Kai! Thank YOU for your magical plays on those drums! In my opinion you are the best metal drummer there is! Rock on my Finnish brother!
Omfg
Kai, you are a legend!!!!
Thank you for that melodic, powerful and epic metal masterclass.
Nightwish might be the greatest band people have never heard of but discover eventually. Wintersun are probably the greatest band that people have never heard of and never will. Thanks for finding them. They deserve so much more recognition.
Since Kai joined Nightwish it has helped them with people discovering them I think.
Well said 👏
Wintersun is finnish 🇫🇮 metal band from capitol Helsinki. Jari Mäenpää (guitarist leadsinger) is mastermind behind the band and Wintersun started as his soloproject while he was still playing in Ensiferum (great finnish metal band also 😉). Jari writes all the songs and instruments, but drums. Kai is really drumcomposer and he thinks alot how to back up song with drums. His mixes styles and sometimes he plays more jazz than metal 😄. Other wizards are Teemu Mäntysaari (greenguitar = Ibanez also) and Jukka Koskinen (bass).
You should react other two songs from same rehearsals Time and Land of Snow and Sorrow. All these rehearsal songs are from Time 1 album.
Forest Seasons album is really great. Awaken From the Dark Slumber (spring), Forest That Weeps (summer), Eternal Darkness (autumn) and Loneliness (winter) all official lyric videos. Really dope consept album.
First album Wintersun has really great songs like Death and Healing, Starchild, Winter Madness, Sadness and Hate, etc.
🙏🏼😎✌🏼
Your reactions are quite enjoyable, Wintersun specializes in epic tunes - try out 'Time' or 'Land of Snow and Sorrow.'
It can be a little overwhelming at first, but repeated listening's help separate layers, each playing more rewarding than the last. Nice reaction!
"Time" is another Masterpiece by this awesome band. Everyone is killing it.
I second that - from the same "rehearsal" session please
+2
+3
I agree, the horrifying reality is that Sons of Winter and Stars is the second best song of the masterpiece Pump studio performance, Time is IMO a sublime masterwork which, marginally, supersedes this amazing song. This album is beyond mortal compare.

Land of Snow and Sorrow link: th-cam.com/video/gEBFn8tkdFA/w-d-xo.html
After this masterpiece, please some Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down
Yes please!!!
And valley of the queens for some more floor
They all play Ibanez (except Kai of course plays Pearl). Teemu on his guitar: "My main guitars are a blue Ibanez LACS RGA Custom and a modified early ’90s graphic series USA Custom RG.
The blue custom (drop-C) has an RGA body with custom scoops on both sides. The neck is based on my 1987 Ibanez Jem LNG and is slightly rounder and thicker than most Jem necks. The pickups are an open calibrated set of Bare Knuckle Black Hawks with ceramic magnets and the guitar is also equipped with a piezo system (Ibanez Double Edge-Pro bridge) for more realistic acoustic guitar emulation."
Time is a must, an eqally epic song, just so much more beautiful.
Jari and Teemu are some of the best guitarist you'll ever come across.
Jari writes and composes all of Wintersuns songs. He is not an inexperienced guitarist, it is just his teqhnique.
Teemu on the other hand is mesmerizing to watch play. His teqhnique is utterly perfect and sublime. You should really check out a video called "Teemus winter madness giveaway" There Teemu opens with the solo for the song Winter Madness, and it is out of this world. He also shows and discusses picking teqhnique for some of the patterns they use on some of their songs. As a guitar player I think you'll love that one 😉
Wintersun is when its always "too much of everything", but its never enough and you still want more ) LOL
Probably one of the best bands that people have never heard about. After this you totally get why Jukka literally hand picked Kai to take over from him. The man is metronomic in his precision.
Actually Jukka and Kai has been friends for a very long time. When Jukka had problems with drumming tehcniques, Kai was teaching and helping him to fix those problems/unhealthy drumming techniques. Also Kai was a drum technician on couple of Nightwish studio albums before the replacement.
Nightwish is when Kai takes his holiday break...
While getting holiday pay.
xD
Different type of playing in those bands .
Licks and Tricks with Kai Hahto th-cam.com/video/BGMbHHgga18/w-d-xo.html 8 min 30 sec , after this you also can play drums like Kai .
I discovered Wintersun about 4 months ago and absolutely fell in love with this song. I too am not a fan of screaming/growling but the technicality and composition of their songs just drew me in and overwhelmed me. I feel like I need to listen to this song every day, without it the day just doesn't seem right somehow. Great reaction, maybe check out the other songs from the same rehearsal.
It was Wintersun that brought me around on extreme vocals. Listening to them shows the possibilities.
P.s. Found Ensiferum yet?
@@luisnunes2010 No not yet. I will check them out. Thanks.
@@theshrubber3730 They're the band Jari left to found Wintersun, here: th-cam.com/play/OLAK5uy_mS1VDw1wlk5CqEEJpVXxJPUvqxEaWyECo.html
@@luisnunes2010 Thank you Luis. Just checked them out. Yes! Nice! Another new band for me.... :)
@@theshrubber3730 🔥😁👍👌
”Lead singer is the least experienced in playing guitar” 😂😂😂 well NO...he is not! Great reaction! Time is the next one from the same session.
I absolutely agree with you. Jari is a monster when he plays the guitar
Jep :))
I was mildly offended when he said that😂 He definitely needs to check out Jari's out-of-this-world-solo in The Way of the Fire, that's gonna set the record straight
Well Jari has said that Teemu is the better guitarist, so he's not exactly wrong.
Jari does also have a very unorthodox picking/fingering technique, it just looks really weird/stressful but that's how he plays.
My God they are good! The Finnish never seem to disappoint when it comes to metal!
Thank you for following my recommendation. That was a great reaction!!! Jari Mäenpää, the lead guitarist and singer, is for Wintersun, what is Tuomas for Nightwish. A great composer, a poet, the man behind everything, Fan Fact: He is missing a third of his right lung due to tuberculosis he suffered back in 1997 while he was in the army. What to tell about Kai; He's an Atomic Clock!!!
Wintersun is incredible. This whole album is a masterpiece. And they don't have a bad song. You should check out "Time" from the same rehearsal session. Jari (the singer) is the songwriter of the band. He writes and records most of the music himself. He also is missing part of a lung due to an old illness. He's insane.
I got to see them live a while back and they're just as good live. The atmosphere during this song at live shows is just unreal.
You can now see why you got this recommendation, every member has musicality and skill off the charts.
Nothing to add to your comment. I´m so glad, they did this reaction to this amazing band.
Time keeps Kai.... Not the other way around!!😉
Maybe you ought to check youtube videos of Jari's guitar skills @ WintersunJari.. (Jari is pronounced as Yari, the r being a rolling r)
Hey guys :-) You should watch a video called "Kai Hahto - Warm Up Solo". Just watch it to see what amazing drummer he is. I discovered NW from the Wacken concert & I think Jukka is an incredible monster on the drums, but, the more I watch songs & shows with Kai, the more I'm convinced of what a phenomenal musician he is.
Jukka has awesome stage presence that distracts most people from what he is actually playing. He is a great drummer but Kai is a whole other level. I can hear the differences when Kai plays old NW songs. He displays his style mostly in the “fills and rolls” in those old NW songs.
This can never be a song from Metallica, to fast for them and Lars Ulrich can never play the drums like Jukka or Kai.
In fairness, good old Arsch Ulrich was never considered really a leading edge drummer. In the late 80s, guys like Scott Travis (in Racer X) were already miles ahead. Metallica was all about the songs and the mood, not technical skills.
You should also check out and react to upcoming finnish band called Smackboud. I promise, you won´t regret it... :)
It is always mind blowing hearing Jari sing like that, he had tuberculosis and parts of his lungs had to be removed.
20:24
This is a pretty uninformed comment. You should do a little research behind the guitarist you're talking about. I would put Jari up against any guitarist out there for accuracy, speed and overall sound. Want an example? Listen to the solo for "winter madness" and tell me he's not comfortable playing guitar: th-cam.com/video/_s6Q8pK2dyA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=GfP45K1K03IlD8SJ&t=234
IIRC, Kai started in jazz and then got into grindcore before doing this stuff. That explains why he’s so good.
As u can note Finns are silent and introvert nation...😁
B-but we are.. sometimes.. when drinking coffee or sleep :D
Yeah right, says the man from Sweden (me) 😁
th-cam.com/video/24pySkBn7gM/w-d-xo.html
You should have a good drink with the Finns. I'll see what you say then ...
Kai is a beast, but leadsinger sings because of an illness with 2 half lungs, blow your mind yet? 😇🤯
You know the Bassist is Jukka and he is the new Bass man from Nightwish and he is taller then Floor.😂
When epic metal becomes more epic. Epically epic. 😁
Nobody expects Wintersun before actually hearing them! National Treasure 🇫🇮
”Lead singer is the least experienced in playing guitar” Don't you know this guy wrote almost ANYTHING ? Like : vocals, guitars, bass, synth... just saying ^^ and not just for this song but for all of them lol
Kai might just be the best technical drummer out there....
See, we were lying about Kai and his ability to play like a human metronom - completely different drum style in Wintersun and just as brilliant as in Nightwish. Jari Mäenpää is the lead vocalist and he sically the brain behind everything. He planned to perform and record each instrument for the first album himself, he still required a drummer. He sent demos to Kai Hahto, who agreed to perform the drums. The rest is history
And actually Jari asked Kai if he could MAKE the drum parts for this as it's something that Kai does better than Jari could (or that's what I've read/heard).
Is that bassist the Jukka that is now playing with Nightwish?
Kai Hahto's displacement of snare hits is second to none, every time I listen to this song there's something new to discover. Wonderful reaction!
Looks like Kai came to Nightwish to relax a little bit :)
Great reaction and an awesome band. React to "Time" from the same rehersal. Its fantastic. Peace
Great review, Wintersun are just Phenomenal,there is no other band out there like them. The vocalist is called Jari and it's entirely his band, he created it on his own after leaving Enseferum. He composes all the music himself, literally everything is Jari. By the way, you mentioned he looks the least experienced on guitar, you have that so wrong. He is outrageously good on guitar and is well known for being one of the best shredders in the world. His sweeps are insanely fast and clean. Teemu, the second guitarist is amazing aswell but everything you hear is composed and originally played by Jari. Quite simply, Jari is a guitar god and a true composition Genius. He no longer plays guitar live anymore as he wanted to focus fully on his vocal performance on stage so they now have another great guitarist called Asim. Jari still plays guitar as much as he ever did, just not live anymore ( playing guitar live at that level of complexity and screaming your heart out as you can imagine is extremely demanding. He can now run about the stage with far more freedom). In short, Jari is a fucking genius and Wintersun are simply INCREDIBLE 👌👌🤘🤘🤘🤘
More Wintersun 😁! Try the track Time from the same live rehearsal.
Teemu Mäntysaari, the man with CS Ibanez is one of the best metal guitarists now.He is a guitar teacher too..
Just imagine Kais face if someone at the end would say: "Ooops, sorry, camera was not recording. Just let do it again" ;-)
Yap, and Kai, just please try to keep up the tempo, ok?
Amorphis, Bee
You pic my fav band one by one, Sabaton, Wintersun, NW, and so on. Just got to love Wintersun. There is a lot more.
But I would challenge you to another band. From Sweden. It is completely different from this but yet the speed and tightnes. It has a lot of growling in it.. and that something that many doesn’t like. But look at it not only as singing but rather yet another pecusion instument. This is a band that plays a lot of polyrhythms and so on. Thats what I like about them, it is complecated technically advanced music. If you know music and play yourself you will understand. They play experimental extreme metal with influences of progressive jazz. And the dummer has been awarded many times the best drummer in the world. The band is called meshuggah. There are a lot of good sons clockwork, born in dissonance, but if yiu like drums I would suggest Bleed. But don’t make the mistake of looking at the official video. You will get distracted by the video and it is only half of the song and you will miss a guitar solo that is amazing and very much a fusion jazz solo. So I would say go with the drum cam video you will hear all band members but can look at the dummer. In this song he flips everything around so what many drummers would do with the hands he does with his feets. It took him 6 month to learn this song.. and I guess it sais it all. If you check it out.. enjoy 💪🏻🇸🇪❤️
Great reaction love the jaw dropping faces. Can see the enjoyment on your faces. I think you might like some Ayreon at this point The day that the World Breaks down is just mind blowing and fun with a great melody you cannot get out of you head.
Fun fact: Jari (the singer) has lost 1/4 of his lung due to an operation in his early 20s. It's unbelievable how he has the stamina to play and sing at the same time and hit those high and long notes, which require a lot of air / pressure.
Oh boy, this is my favorite song ever right now. Gotta love Wintersun.
did you hear the tragic news about marco leaving nightwish...sad day for music
What a shit title, only half of the song and no band name to be seen. But hey at least you did not forget to milk those nightwish clicks.
Great reaction ! Thank you 😊 I love this song. At some point please react to Time from the same session. It’s incredible 🤯🤘🏻
Who is behind the drums? Kai Hahto or Thor himself?
Honestly, you were recommended this because it's Kai's other band but I think we forgot how much you'd enjoy the guitar! Always love hearing any technical details you have to share based on your own experiences
A bit info about Kai. When he started play a long time ago, there where only setups for right handed drummers. and he is lefthanded. so he started to train . that whay he learnd to do the exact samething with his left side as the right :) Check out drumtalk [episode 48] With Kai Hahto :)
Yes I second that, and you can also have a look at Sonny Von Cleveland's Rock 1 On 1 conversation with Kai. In that one you will find out why Kai Hahto can not travel together with Amon Amarth (if they are going to the same place). Cheers / B.
Great reaction to a great band. I see that Kai himself thanked You here - LOVE IT. Kai Hahto is not the only one from Wintersun that now plays and are current member of Nightwish, the bassist Jukka Koskinen from Wintersun replaced Marko.
lol@Nightwish Drummer
I agree with Charlene, there is a bit too much growling. I wish more clean singing from Jari. But the rest is great. Kai's drumming, the melodic guitar playing, a masterüpiece.
"That's not an electric guitar sound" is propably played on a piezo, Not sure the model of the green Ibanez, but I'm pretty sure he has a piezo in there.
And a year later we are treated to Night-Sun
As well as the usual recommendations for Time, for another look at Jari's (the lead vocalist) guitar work, take a look at Winter Madness (live at Nosturi, Helsinki, 2012). One of the best guitar solos ever IMO.
Thought you’d like this one a bit...
Pronounced like #2
Wow !!!....great reaction to a great band.....!!!!
Are you guys open to reacting to other genre's or you sticking to metal and the like ???
Actually Kai is originally the Wintersun drummer, he was invited to nightwish when the original drummer left
Think of the calories burned by Kai during this song or imagine during a full set on tour....
The dehydration alone..... I picture saline drip bags hung from cymbal stands are needed!
Must do time ! MUST
Jari Mäenpää, the vocalist and guitarist, is the mastermind behind the band, he is actually musical genius in a way and is fantastic guitarist. You as a guitarist will maybe find his TH-cam page interesting cause he does all kinds of shreds and covers and experiments with equipment. Page is WintersunJari. You should definitely check TIME from this same rehearsal but also LONELYNESS, a power ballad which is just incredible musically, lyrically and singing is wow th-cam.com/video/qIiZFpOQnd8/w-d-xo.html It is from the 2017 Forest Seasons album and what is even more crazy is that he did that ALBUM COMPLETELY BY HIMSELF, EVERYTHING! From writing lyrics and music, singing and playing everything, to mixing, engineering and producing, he even did photos for the CD booklet, insane! 🤣🤣 Guys only did some backing vocals.
You might want to check out Unleash the Archers with Awakening. By the way, this was superb
Oh we most definitely loved it. Here's the link to our reaction.
th-cam.com/video/XZWSx4t_qYI/w-d-xo.html
A new category appeared on the horizon: 'IMPOSSIBLE TO DO METAL' (ITDM)...
This is extremely high art and breathes bits of NW...it's really incredible and I have so much respect for such!
-
Just subscribed to your channel, caus of your posi attitude
Thank you for the reaction. Personally, I like this rehearsal version more than the album version. Please react to Tarja Turunen Supremacy from Woodstock 2016 and Wintersun Time from the same rehearsals. Stay safe.
after a masterpiece you need another one, epica kingdom of heaven pls.it's another 15+minutes song and you'll love it-
Wintersun just another great Finnish metal band!!!! BTW the vocalist had TB thus his lung capacity is diminished so this was at 75-80% full volume!!!!
Now that you discovered these great guitarists lets finally get you to discover LOVEBITES and their dynamic duo!!! Band that looks like models, wear white dresses and high heels (all of them about 5') and play Power metal that will blow your head off. Try Holy War LIVE (th-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/w-d-xo.html) and get ready to start down the J/Metal rabbit hole!!!!! Also nice reactions, I guess you see why Nightwish's Jukka asked his friend Kai to step in for him, not a bad decision I would say (LOL).
Love the look of relief on Kai's face at the end of this
PS: dude, you remind me so much of Rowan Atkinson in your speech and mannerisms. Dig it.
Just love how you show your emotions caused by that brilliantly played music full of virtuosity. That is the essence of any music. Waking and showing our emotions :-) Keep up the good work and please, do some of the original ones. Deep Purple, Black Sabbath etc.
Same song drumcam. Pearl Artist Kai Hahto/Wintersun - Sons Of Winter And Stars Drum Cam @ Nosturi, Helsinki 13.10.2012
lol, Jari (lead vocalist) wrote all those guitar parts (and everything else) and it looks weird when he plays because he has abnormally long fingers. He was able to play like that at 18 years age, so he doesn't lack experience at all :D
Cool react, though, thank you! It was fun!
Nice reaction, Kai is a beast. And "epic" is usually the word you seek after see and hearing this :) Time, from the same session next!
Just under 50 days to go for the release of the second part of the album: Time II. Looking forward to seeing your reactions for those songs
Just a comment - why you wrote Nightwish Drummer...Kai told he has never left Wintersun....so, it should have been 'Nightwish and Wintersun drummer'.
Two guitars and base = all Ibanez.....a useless fact from your SA fan in the UK.....LOL
I don't want to say "I told you so". But... well... I kinda did ;) Glad you both enjoyed this one. If you enjoyed this song, you owe it to yourselves to do an album playthrough as the entire thing is BONKERS good. In my top-10 metal albums of all time to be sure.
A young Jukka Koskinen on bass, and deeep vocals :) along with Kai, do a stint with Nightwish, some TIMEs.
Ibanez 2, and as already mentioned, "Time" by Wintersun is really good too. Good job guys.
Love the reaction as always, Ive discovered that any time any aspect of nightwish is involved, you wish you had another night to prepare yourself better....
Have you ever heard of Ne Obliviscaris? Total recommendation... Metal + Violin
Greetings again.
Unfortunately, for the Nightwish Army, hearts are breaking all over the world today.
Marko has announced his displeasure with the music industry and has decided to leave Nightwish and music in general.
That's it. 💔😢
Jari is a guitar virtuoso too and has a lot of experience,you should watch him play more :))
th-cam.com/video/gASov_oNsuc/w-d-xo.html
kai doing a masterclass, it is perfection
Also imagine what kind shape Kai must be in, to be able to this for that long...I would be on the Floor gasping for Air after 2 min.
The guitar is a LACS Ibanez RGA With a reversed headstock
You should check out Jari's previous band Ensiferum.
I sweat almost as much like the drummer (Kai Hahto) and I'm only watching them playing.
The part when you say that's not an eletric guitar sound, it totally is ! it's called a Piezo pickup wich captures the sound of the strings on the bridge, you can see the switch on the guitar next to the volume knob !
Harry not sure if anyone posted the info below or not but the question you had about Teemu's blue guitar or not but it is an Ibanez LACS based on the RG line.
The four parts are called:
I. "Rain of Stars"
II. "Surrounded by Darkness"
III. "Journey Inside a Dream"
IV. "Sons of Winter and Stars"
Kiitos. Next Rip Alex Laiho. Are You Dead Yet. Live. FI.
Gimme some of that Finnish water.
Try Land of Snow and Sorrow from the same session. Nice reaction.
🤘😜🤘
Кстати. Девушка (так и не понял как её зовут? Шарлин? Шолин?) если приедет в Финляндию, то финны будут принимать за свою. Она очень похожа на финку, даже на финку, а лапландку
Told you a few months ago, that was awesome.
shitting on Jari's guitar playing skills? brave... :D
Check when Kai Hahto was drummer of Rotten Sound ...
You should check out Teemu Mäntysaaris guitar videos, dude is insane.
Took you up on that recommendation and HOLY COW! The dude sure knows how to make a guitar scream! Thanks for the recommendation!
@@SongsandThongs My pleasure! I'm just so impressed with his precision, super accurate even in highly technical playing. He used to be my bandmates guitar teacher over 10 years ago and he was already really really good back when he was 22 years old. :D
@@SongsandThongs Anyway, thanks for taking up on the recommendation :)
@@SongsandThongs an absolute beast on guitar!
