Yes this drummer was Dmitry Kim. He took over from a previous drummer who had a tragic accident and couldn't play any longer (sat down in a third story window and fell asleep. Fell out of the window and became paralyzed). Dmitry wasn't really up on touring (the band tours like maniacs) so after King of Everything Vlad took over prior to their next release. Vlad does a very faithful rendition of a lot of the older songs. The songs that originated with him have a very different feel to them. Definitely Pisces on the album is different from the live session which introduced Vlad as their new drummer. There is a live version of their song Cloud Factory and a live version of Who is Gonna be the One (both from their first full length album before they were signed to Napalm) where he definitely improved on the drumming from the original studio versions. Vlad used to do I Speak Astronomy slightly different but on the recent Live in LA release it's pretty much the same as Dmitry's version. Dmitry has a more slash/speed metal style to his playing and Vlad is closer to a jazzy/technical approach but both are excellent. Dmitry Kim has a TH-cam channel with an excellent playthrough of Captain Clock. Definitely worth a watch. If you look at some of Vlad's drum playthroughs the differences in styles come through. The studio version of Sit Stay Roll Over is Dmitry and the Live in Melbourne version is Vlad. I would say that the band's sound changed more because Vlad does a lot of composing a little more than it's a different drummer with a different style though.
Nice reaction. Jinjer is amazing. 4 equally stellar musicians creating a completely unique sound all their own. U mentioned them possibly having different influences being European. They came up on Pantera, Metallica, Lamb of God & Black Dahlia Murder but surprisingly No Doubt & Otep were influences on them as well. Especially Tatiana. She's also a big reggae fan.
If you want to hear how Vlad has influenced this band, just listen to album version of Pisces and follow it with the Live Session you’ve already watched. You’ll notice it.
let's say "until Micro-Macro era King of Everything is fans' favorite". Now Jinjer fans divided as old and new fans. It's still old fans' favorite. The change is the key of Jinjer's music. No Jinjer album has same vibe, same sound eventhough the crew have been same since 2016. If you want to see the difference old and new Jinjer you can compare Pisces' album version with live studio version you already watched first. For better understanding you should do a deep dive into Micro-Macro albums. You'll see.
I always think of Jinjer as a jazz band that plays metal. The foundation for many of Jinjer's songs is jazz.
When the Pisces Live Session came out is when Vlad joined. They did that video to feature him.
