Can't quite describe the feeling watching this... Easily the biggest surprise of any reaction I've done. Check out the full playlist! th-cam.com/video/7_-K-blQoTE/w-d-xo.html
HOWDY FROM NEW ENGLAND....WELCOME TO JINJER LAND...QUEEN TATIANA WILL SHOW YOU INSIDE...JUDGEMENT AND PUNISHMENT LIVE ONE TAKE VID WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO GO...GOOD STUFF...PEACE FROM THE NORTHEAST...
Whats better guys, the initial WTF or the one after the soft parts begins again? I vote for the 2nd as people really look puzzled/ amazed/appalled at the same time hahaha
I'll never get tired of people reacting to this song. People shit on reactions as "easy content" but it's really cool to vicariously experience a first time listen through another person.
I knew what my first reaction was 😱🙊😁🤘. I saw this upload and I already knew he would have an awesome reaction. He. Did. Not. Disappoint. 😎🤣 I like listening to Andrew for his drumming and his take on different styles and techniques. I love like listening to the old decomposing geezer for his takes on the technical aspects of the whole arrangement. I listen on occasion to classical artists to hear their input on vocals such as David on Sound of Silence. There is so much more than just people going omg that was intense, or oh that sucked. A good reaction will explain why and how.
Tatiana on vocals, Eugene on Bass, Roman on guitar and of course Vlad on drums. This song was from their "King of Everything" album, which was released before Vlad joined the band. They liked the different vibe Vlad brought to the song so they made this video to showcase him as their newest member. It's become a reaction staple because of Tatiana's insane vocal changes. Since joining Jinjer, Vlad has written much of the music. He is the only one with a traditional musical education - he's a classically trained pianist and multi-instrumentalist that is just magical on drums. The band hails from Ukraine and you've just witnessed the tip of a very impressive iceberg here. Anything and everything they have out is simply amazing, you can't go wrong exploring these guys!
I went to see them here in the states when they first toured. I was able to meet all of them and purchase a used snare head from Vlad, with all of their signatures on it. I have it framed and lit in my studio, along side of the CD that I had them all sign. Both prized possessions, but meeting them was probably the coolest thing. Eugene was my favorite though.
cool didn't know that Vlad was clasically trained, explains his smooth drumlines in their song though. If a guitarist or a drummer writes drum lines certainly makes a difference, but when said drummer has a background as another instrumentalist, that usually indicates he is also heavily involved in Songwriting. Hannes Grossmann for example comes to mind, who also had a huge influence on the first two Obscura-albums, more than some might realize.
“Didn’t see that coming.” No one does my friend. No one. Welcome to the wonderful world of Jinjer. Have tickets to see them in December and I honestly can’t wait.
I specially love when Tatiana sings the first line of the second verse, everyone is like "what? Why she sings like two different singers" and then comes the second line: "don't rely on me and I won't decieve" XD
I saw them in Adelaide, March last year before Covid shut everything down. They were awesome. 750 capacity crowd, loved the intimate size. They sold out every venue in Australia and pretty much everywhere else from memory. I'm a music snob - if you can't sing in tune, pitch out, tempo, timing out whatever you're dead to me. These guys are consummate musicians through and through, and their amicable and companionable chemistry is amazing. Like being invited into a jam session......that's a little bit nuts. hehe. You'll love them. ;)
If you want to experience more of Vlads versatility, check out "Teacher teacher" or live version of "Who is gonna be the one", and Tati is amazing on those too!
Or his 'demo' he did that landed him the job as drummer for Jinjer by covering Who's Gonna be the One on the ZLAM channel (his previous band) /watch?v=qvURBM1kkAA Recorded in 2015, which is around the time he actually was the one to join Jinjer XD
I love how he plays with his kit so low and flat. Ironically this video went viral because of Tati vocals, but it was originally made with the intention of showcasing Vlad's drumming, so.....congrats on being one of the few in thousands of reactions that actual focus on what the video was made for lol
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Tatiana taught herself how to scream... and I love how she can switch back n forth between harsh n clean. Especially when she does it multiple times during a single song. This band is freaking awesome.
I heard this band on CD first, without reading the sleeves, and I really believed they used 3 different singers for this track. I mean, something akin to Amaranthe.
@@terhazza a live show is a better indicator of her talents. Perennial live at wacken 2019 is one of the best I can think of for proving skeptics wrong. Watch closely when the camera gets all up in her face. You'll see what i mean. Then near the end, she gets REALLY deep in her growl. She's absolutely a beast on vocals.
6 minutes in.... Andrew: "Oh yeah! The drummer!" lol Tatiana has that affect on everyone. Kind of forget about the rest of the band for a moment. She's a freaking force of nature.
It's amazing that she's able to do that with the sheer talent of the other members. Roman's ability to write heavy riffs that play off beautiful melodic sections. Eugene's clean and tactful bass playing, and vlad's tight beats and nasty fills... yet she always takes my attention anyway.
My sister-in-law is from the same city as Jinjer - Donetsk in the Ukraine - but even she had never heard of them until I got her to watch that 'Pisces' Live Session on TH-cam while we were Skyping a few weeks ago.
Vlad maybe the most talented member of Jinjer as he is also a classically trained pianist and good on guitar. He definitely was the missing piece in this band. They could be the strongest 4 piece metal band out there right now.
@@tackle47 I am literally quoting Eugene. He has said exactly that in many recent interviews. To be a bit more diplomatic though, Vlad gives them options and helps Roman and Eugene be more experimental. I know some would prefer they stay in that Cloud Factory/KOE metalcore genre, but for me I prefer that they expand outside that into the progressive side of metal.
I remember seeing their I Speak Astronomy video years ago and thinking "Oh cool, they're like a progressive Arch Enemy", but then a few months later this session dropped and set the record straight. The musicianship and creativity from every single member of this band is on another level. I'm a bassist and drummer, been a fan of progressive music all my life, since discovering this session and following Jinjer ever since, Eugene and Vlad have quickly climbed into my top 5 rhythm sections in modern music.
I love that you paused the first time and made a comment about how beautiful the vocals were right before it got heavy. I was laughing, thinking “just wait” hahaha I will say, their drummer is phenomenal. I got to open for Jinger in 2019 and he was playing a bunch of 20-22” K con cymbals all angled away from him and he sounded so good from side stage. Excellent groove and dynamic control
I'm 43 and have always been a music fanatic, metal being at the core of my love for music. Because metal is at the core it opened the gates to jazz,classical, progress folk and many others. I'm just glad to see people are paying more attention to these artists now. Thank you for taking the time in making these videos.
Me: Waiting for the pause before the chorus saying it's a nice song. Rooney: *pauses right before chorus "We need more picks like this." Me: Hehehehehe
Congratulations on your introduction to Jinjer. Tatiana is an absolute miracle, this is obvious, but every musician in this band is just sooo on point. Super talented all around. But what is most remarkable about Jinjer is their songs are legitimate compositions. This song Pisces tells a story - it takes you on a journey, and every bit of it, the vocals, bass, guitar, and drums are part of it. It's just so good.
This song is genuinely beautiful. The drumming, especially on the hi hats, is phenomenal. Tatiana's voice is gorgeous, smooth, and brutal in equal measure
One of my favorite things about this number is that ALL the parts are great. She's amazing. The drummer is amazing. The bass player is amazing. The guitarist is amazing. I've often wondered about their process of putting this together in the studio: Does one person know how to make the MOST out of all four or are they just the best coordinated unit ever? I mean, they'd almost have to all be chipping in with their specialities instead of playing what one person planned? I know the guys make the music and then she writes lyrics afterwards, but is one of them a virtuosic genius or something?
Vlad is a virtuosic genius. Apparently he writes much of the music, and then they all add their own flair and chops. And the craziest part is that Tatiana never writes any lyrics until the songs are finished and she's going into the studio to record. She procrastinates untill the last minute, and says she works best under pressure. She somehow finds perfect vocal lines over what are insane musical parts, full of shifting time signatures and extreme dynamics. Often her voice is the thread that ties a part together. Vlad didn't even play drums until not long before he joined Jinjer, I believe. Hard to believe, he's so talented, innovative and subtle.
@@ericpeterson7512 Adding to that: She writes the lyrics in Ukrainian and then translates them to English, so their music can all be sung in both language.
When I heard this the first time I got goosebumps, chills, felt like I was going to break into tears! It totally had a strong effect on emotions I’d not felt for decades! The last chorus just blew me right away! The guitar, bass, and especially the drummer, OMG! What a. band! I was/am totally hooked on Jinjer!!
He's an amazing drummer; they're, all, amazing musicians. This is how I love music to be: forceful and intricate. I, also, like simple, but done in an interesting way.
Jinjer is just ridiculously clean. Incredible band with so much talent and focus. Her lyrics are excellent also, especially considering English is her second language. She's brilliant. And I mean that both in the British slang meaning and intellectually.
Great singer, great drummer, great guitar players, great band. If you want to learn more about the technique Tatiana uses, check out the Fairy Voice Mother's reaction video. She gives a good explanation and a spontaneous demonstration.
Great band. I'll never get tired of Jinjer reactions. Tatiana is not only a badass vocalist but she is the sweetest, most charismatic singer I've seen in a long time. I love her.
When the notification bell rang in my cell phone with this new video I was like, what? Rooney has not reacted to Pisces yet?... I had to drop what I was dong to see your face in the first growling section. Masterful piece, aside the versatility of Tatiana the instrumentation is just as tasteful as it gets.
Check out Jinjer's other absolute banger, Judgment & Punishment. The music and vocals are absolutely stunning. I was instantly sold on Jinjer on hearing that song.
So I’m not a metal person but I do enjoy reactions to this particular song. I tuned into YOUR reaction because I wanted to hear your thoughts on Vlad-I think he’s a beast. The complex time signatures and crisp, defined rhythms are super impressive. Everybody in this group is insanely good.
Pisces is mostly the shock factor, their other stuff is more proggy. One of my favorites is Pit of Consciousness Live in Kiev. I love the drumming after 2:40 in that video, Vlad plays some halftime shuffle but plays straight with the high hat and then at one point switches over to play straight with the snare and bass drum as well. I love that part, it tickles my brain.
Finally a reaction that cares about Vlad's monster drum fill coming out of the second chorus! He's got a nice intricate transition late in "pit of consciousness" that you'd probably like too, on top of the solid playing in the rest of the song
Nice surprise huh? Each member is really AMAZING!!! Vlad is multi talented as well, playing guitar and piano! and whos knows what else he can play. Welcome to Jinjer Army and listen to them from the beginning and don't jump ahead cause each song is unique!!!
Tatiana rolls out of bed, smokes a cig, shoots some whiskey and drops music like this. She's got perfect control of her vocals and can switch from cleans to growls and back again quicker than a hiccup
that feeling you get in the middle of the song..... yeah thats that OPETH VIBE BABYYYY. thats why this band is so appealing to me... that and i really like the drummers playstyle it just hits that sweet spot.
This is actually a very appropriate reaction because the video was supposed to showcase Vlad as their new drummer (album version of the song has different drumming)
It was a live studio session they put the video out to showcase Vlads drumming transitions from jazz style to metal which I think is spot on for thus young man
I've watched so many reactions to this studio performance since the "first" reaction, glad you got to see it as well, LOL, and it's almost always the same reaction, either yours "stunned speechlessness" LOL, or a more direct "scared/startled" reaction (one lady said she "peed herself a bit" LOL....) it's definitely the most "reactive" of reaction videos I've ever seen people do (probably seen 10-12 different ones)... and her voice (normal) is so beautiful and haunting, it just enhances the contrast dramatically. Also, it really is her, and several of the vocal coach reactors have delved into it further, Jinjer herself has gone on to vlog with a few of them, as well as independently teaching her "scream" technique (more of a guttural roar)... anyone can do it to some degree of course, but not to this dramatic effect (and shouldn't try without proper knowledge/practice of "safe" execution). Love it!
Stumbled on this after I subscribed to your page. Without a doubt, easily one of the best vocal performances I have ever seen. Not just a talented clean singer, but also crushed the metal scream! Reminded me of a cross between Lacuna Coil and Alex Terrible all coming from one person! Absolutely amazing! Thanks for reacting to this because it was stellar!
I like how he doesn’t use a rack tom and nothing on his kit is above the bend in his elbow. Economy of motion. Please, please, please. Stanton Moore Zildjian Live. He’s a New Orleans funk drummer, you will not be disappointed.
I really appreciate the focus on the drumming. Obviously the vocals are amazing, and the guitar and bass shine, but to me that drummer is a major star.
It's time to say thank you Man, it's not the first awesome musical discovery that I do thanks to you, so I wanted to send you Cheers from France! Keep rockin!
I really liked Vlad's open handed playing style with left hand on the hi-hat or the right hand on the ride. It's something I've been working on for quite some time. I know of some drummers who play in the open style but moved the ride over to the left side so that they do all their ride patterns with the left hand. When I started playing open, I decided to keep the ride on the right so that if I played on someone else's kit, I wouldn't need switch anything around. I also found that practicing beats both ways (left hand on hi-hat and then right hand on ride) helped me to really understand what was happening in the groove, where each note lay and where limbs played in unison. Anyway Vlad nailed it. And I agree that his playing was transparent in a good way. What he played fit each part in such an unobtrusive manner that the focus was constantly on the singer and the melody. The only time he stood out was on the one blazing fill, creating just enough tension and surprise (as in WTF) leading into a brief pause before the vocals came back in. Talk about leaving the ego at the door and serving the music. Great! I hope the singer is using some kind of technique to achieve the low growl. Because other wise she'll run into serious problems later on. It would be sad if she ruined her voice just for effect.
Howdy. Tatiana has been using this technique since 2010 at least. If anything her vocals only got better since then. She is using vestibular folds or false vocal cords technique to achieve this sound. If you wish to explore it a little bit farther, here is the funniest and yet the most comprehensive video I have come across yet explaining what's going on here vocally. th-cam.com/video/qWUUrdQfjn8/w-d-xo.html
@@Tunguska688 Thanks. I learned a lot from that video. And her reaction to the first time Tatiana does the growl was genuinely funny. First time I've ever seen someone do a natural spit take.
You couldn't have paused the video at a more perfect time. I was cracking up knowing what was going to happen after you pressed play again. Thanks for the laughs!
2 am, chillin on my couch in my Macro hoodie and snap back about to watch this dude experience my favorite band. This video was made originally to showcase the new (at the time) drummer, but quickly became the gateway video for the band lol. Even I use it to introduce people to them before I open it up to songs off Micro and Macro
Welcome to jinjer! Looking forward to you checking more of them out. Drum centric songs to see/hear are Home Back, Pit of Consciousness, the Prophesy, Ape. I Speak Astronomy, and Sit Stay Roll over are also amazing, with their former drummer. Subbed.
I've seen you several times when you've react on different drummers, but now you've reacted to one of my all-time favorite bands regardless of the musical genre! I've been into music for over 50 years and have been a musician myself for over 40 years, and this band is something very special. All musicians are, in my opinion, world class, everything is correct, also Tatis lyrics should be observed! Another tip for you: JINJER - Teacher, Teacher! (Official Video) | Napalm Records and: JINJER - On The Top (Live in Kiev) | Napalm Records many thanks for your reaction and please stay safe! greetings from germany
I was going to request this one too, but I thought you’d be too distracted by Tatiana to notice the drums. 😀 I was also praying that you didn’t take a sip of hot coffee right when the screaming started! 😎
Jinjer have caused some spit-takes and coughs when reactors drink at the wrong time. The general rule is to never drink while watching Jinjer and always be ready for the unexpected.
love the reaction! as a drum teacher i think ud really enjoy JINJER - Pit of Consciousness (Drum Cam Footage) though the full live video is also excellent.
Subscribed to see you do more Jinjer videos. Best band on Earth right now. The more videos you do of them, the more impressed you'll be by them. Vlad is a beast on the drums. He is very fun to listen to and watch. A lot of the time he plays with two high hats. One he uses normally, an a second one tucked way back that he only plays with the foot pedal. If you react to their song "On the Top" live in Kiev, it's really easy to pick out, but the more you listen to them, you can pick it out in most songs.
Great reaction. I fell in love with junjer a couple of years ago and i gotta say.. member for member they are some of the best musicians around. Tatiana is a one off! They are even better live!!
Love the reaction! It's always fun to watch people react to this song! If you are on the hunt for different drummers and bands to react to, you might enjoy the band Nightwish and their drummers Kai Hahto and Jukka Nevelainnen. Jukka is the original drummer, an incredible artist and performer, and when he had to quit the band due to health issues he recruited his friend Kai to take his place. Kai has been described as "a human metronome" and his speed is stunning. I admit I'm no expert on drumming, but some of his drumcam vids have left me with my jaw on the floor. He was previously with the band Wintersun, and if you want to see him in his element I recommend Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Stars. Otherwise, the traditional first Nightwish song for reactors is Ghost Love Score (Live at Wacken 2013) which was filmed with Jukka.
I was blown away when the outlander video came out and had been recommended by a friend. They were already so good even in the previous line-up with 2 guitars. Now they're gone kind of viral on YT and got the success that they earn last year, despite covid. They are a band that I wish all good in their career and hope it lasts loooong. I haven't heard one bad Jinjer song, and I guess I heard them all in the meantime.... And yeah, Vlad is an excellent drummer, extremely perfect, creative and talented. Well, they all are.
Andrew, if you are blown away by an edited studio video, check them out on an actual live video. They are incredible. One of my fave discoveries of the last couple of years. Unbelievable energy from the stage. First time I heard Tatania, I had EXACTLY the same reaction as yourself. Reminds me of my ex fiancée, whom I met when I played in a band with her and she did the clean/dirt vocal n al... Tatania is something else. The band are incredible as a whole, between backbeat, technical chops, range and energy... hard to fault. Check out their discography. You will love it.
Becoming addicted to 1st reactions to this one. Freeze! Brain Snap!! WTF!!!??? Soooo glad you didn't pick up your coffee just at that moment! { as one other reactor did > go: Fairy Voice Mother. Oooops!} A borderline Occ Health & Safety incident for sure. Others noticing the excellent drummer also. Cheers L
I'd love to see more full band performances from you, Andrew, it's nice to see and hear the whole mix rather than just isolated or solo drum performances.
I had the exact same reaction when a guy at work showed me this video of the latest band he was obsessed with. I choked on my coffee when the chorus came 😂
Can't quite describe the feeling watching this...
Easily the biggest surprise of any reaction I've done.

@@TexasVeteranPatriot Thank you!
Oh man... I knew what was coming and your reaction did not disappoint 🤣😂🤣.
As to answer your final question, yes it blew me away my 1st time lol

I love how he paused it right before the chorus and was saying how beautiful the vocals were. Lmao, hang on Andrew, it gets better 😆
I got PUNK'D Gavin!
8:45 The face of a man who's reality is changed forever.
This song is genuinely beautiful.
The drumming, especially on the hi hats, is phenomenal.
Tatiana's voice is gorgeous, smooth, and brutal in equal measure
Drums , Coffee , Jinjer , and your facial expressions made my day !! Great video pick today , I'm in a great mood now . 😃
Jinjer perennial live at Wacken is a banger
Yes please!
Also..Teacher Teacher (Official Video)👌
One of my favorite things about this number is that ALL the parts are great. She's amazing. The drummer is amazing. The bass player is amazing. The guitarist is amazing. I've often wondered about their process of putting this together in the studio: Does one person know how to make the MOST out of all four or are they just the best coordinated unit ever? I mean, they'd almost have to all be chipping in with their specialities instead of playing what one person planned? I know the guys make the music and then she writes lyrics afterwards, but is one of them a virtuosic genius or something?
It's brilliant!
Vlad is a virtuosic genius. Apparently he writes much of the music, and then they all add their own flair and chops. And the craziest part is that Tatiana never writes any lyrics until the songs are finished and she's going into the studio to record. She procrastinates untill the last minute, and says she works best under pressure. She somehow finds perfect vocal lines over what are insane musical parts, full of shifting time signatures and extreme dynamics. Often her voice is the thread that ties a part together.
Vlad didn't even play drums until not long before he joined Jinjer, I believe. Hard to believe, he's so talented, innovative and subtle.
@@ericpeterson7512 Adding to that:
She writes the lyrics in Ukrainian and then translates them to English, so their music can all be sung in both language.
One of the tightest heavy bands out there. Every single member is outstanding. Vlad is a beast
When I heard this the first time I got goosebumps, chills, felt like I was going to break into tears!
It totally had a strong effect on emotions I’d not felt for decades! The last chorus just blew me right away! The guitar, bass, and especially the drummer, OMG! What a. band!
I was/am totally hooked on Jinjer!!
I hear ya. It was a massive shock for me
He's an amazing drummer; they're, all, amazing musicians. This is how I love music to be: forceful and intricate. I, also, like simple, but done in an interesting way.
Yup so good
Jinjer. The band that keeps on giving. I haven't found a song of theirs I haven't liked. They quickly became my favorite all time band.
Jinjer is just ridiculously clean. Incredible band with so much talent and focus. Her lyrics are excellent also, especially considering English is her second language. She's brilliant. And I mean that both in the British slang meaning and intellectually.
Great singer, great drummer, great guitar players, great band.
If you want to learn more about the technique Tatiana uses, check out the Fairy Voice Mother's reaction video. She gives a good explanation and a spontaneous demonstration.
Great thanks!
Great band. I'll never get tired of Jinjer reactions. Tatiana is not only a badass vocalist but she is the sweetest, most charismatic singer I've seen in a long time. I love her.
When the notification bell rang in my cell phone with this new video I was like, what? Rooney has not reacted to Pisces yet?... I had to drop what I was dong to see your face in the first growling section. Masterful piece, aside the versatility of Tatiana the instrumentation is just as tasteful as it gets.
I have lost count of how many reaction video's of this I've watched and they're all great hahaha
🤣👌
I felt the same way. And as a drummer, seeing that guy use his right hand on the snare like that, was superb!!!!!!
Yup!
Check out Jinjer's other absolute banger, Judgment & Punishment. The music and vocals are absolutely stunning. I was instantly sold on Jinjer on hearing that song.
Vlad of Jinjer, Mario Duplantier of Gojira, and Danny Carey of Tool are my Holy Trinity of current drummers.
That's a killer trio Edward!
Ye familiar with Dan Presland, Alex Rudinger, and Darkside?
No Stef Broks and Tomas Haake? How come?
So I’m not a metal person but I do enjoy reactions to this particular song. I tuned into YOUR reaction because I wanted to hear your thoughts on Vlad-I think he’s a beast. The complex time signatures and crisp, defined rhythms are super impressive. Everybody in this group is insanely good.
I got more into Vlad on the second reaction I did on them. This one was a bit distracting!
Vlad is amazing
First pause:
"We need more songs like this."
Me: HAHAHA Yeah!
HAHA!
Oh hell yes!!! 😀🤘🏻🤘🏻 This band is beyond talented. You need to check out more by them. Any song works, they don’t have a bad one.
Pisces is mostly the shock factor, their other stuff is more proggy. One of my favorites is Pit of Consciousness Live in Kiev. I love the drumming after 2:40 in that video, Vlad plays some halftime shuffle but plays straight with the high hat and then at one point switches over to play straight with the snare and bass drum as well. I love that part, it tickles my brain.
Its one of the best videos/recordings I have ever seen. I
Mega band. Mega fan base. They deserve everything they get. They all work hard tirelessly and to top it all off they are all really super people.
This is an amazingly talented group of people. They never fail to bewilder and entertain.
Never seeing Jinjer before. I was very impressed with the drummer.
Great! 👌
Finally a reaction that cares about Vlad's monster drum fill coming out of the second chorus!
He's got a nice intricate transition late in "pit of consciousness" that you'd probably like too, on top of the solid playing in the rest of the song
KILLER fill!
"These voice is just gorgeous, beautifull."
Me: **GRABS SOME POP CORN**
Nice surprise huh? Each member is really AMAZING!!! Vlad is multi talented as well, playing guitar and piano! and whos knows what else he can play. Welcome to Jinjer Army and listen to them from the beginning and don't jump ahead cause each song is unique!!!
I hope to Chris!
Tatiana rolls out of bed, smokes a cig, shoots some whiskey and drops music like this. She's got perfect control of her vocals and can switch from cleans to growls and back again quicker than a hiccup
that feeling you get in the middle of the song..... yeah thats that OPETH VIBE BABYYYY. thats why this band is so appealing to me... that and i really like the drummers playstyle it just hits that sweet spot.
This is actually a very appropriate reaction because the video was supposed to showcase Vlad as their new drummer (album version of the song has different drumming)
Great!
I see the Jinjer Army has arrived. Buckle up and check out some more stuff now that the shock has worn off! So many good songs. This band is so TIGHT!
every member of this band is incredible. Eugene is quickly becoming one of my favorite bass players.
I first watched Pisces about 2 weeks ago, now I'm addicted to watching reaction vids! lol
🤣👌
I knew you'd love that fill. The bass and drum fills get me every time.
I have a hobby. The hobby is just seeing people react to this song. It's a very good hobby.
I love seeing people hear Jinjer for the first time lol. Andrew, do more Jinjer, the whole band is super talented!
It was a live studio session they put the video out to showcase Vlads drumming transitions from jazz style to metal which I think is spot on for thus young man
Excellent Tyler. Very cool indeed
The best reaction so far. I've re-watched your face drop a few times now, has me in stitches.
I saw this one and had to watch. This drum line is lit, and I love hearing people talk about things other than the singers.
I've watched so many reactions to this studio performance since the "first" reaction, glad you got to see it as well, LOL, and it's almost always the same reaction, either yours "stunned speechlessness" LOL, or a more direct "scared/startled" reaction (one lady said she "peed herself a bit" LOL....) it's definitely the most "reactive" of reaction videos I've ever seen people do (probably seen 10-12 different ones)... and her voice (normal) is so beautiful and haunting, it just enhances the contrast dramatically.
Also, it really is her, and several of the vocal coach reactors have delved into it further, Jinjer herself has gone on to vlog with a few of them, as well as independently teaching her "scream" technique (more of a guttural roar)... anyone can do it to some degree of course, but not to this dramatic effect (and shouldn't try without proper knowledge/practice of "safe" execution).
Love it!
Fun reaction. Vlad is a beast doing epic work with a minimalist drum set.
Stumbled on this after I subscribed to your page. Without a doubt, easily one of the best vocal performances I have ever seen. Not just a talented clean singer, but also crushed the metal scream! Reminded me of a cross between Lacuna Coil and Alex Terrible all coming from one person! Absolutely amazing! Thanks for reacting to this because it was stellar!
Being from New Orleans Louisiana, Community Coffee is life! Coffee and Chicory of course 😎
I like how he doesn’t use a rack tom and nothing on his kit is above the bend in his elbow. Economy of motion.
Please, please, please. Stanton Moore Zildjian Live. He’s a New Orleans funk drummer, you will not be disappointed.
Great pick Jason!
I really appreciate the focus on the drumming. Obviously the vocals are amazing, and the guitar and bass shine, but to me that drummer is a major star.
It's time to say thank you Man, it's not the first awesome musical discovery that I do thanks to you, so I wanted to send you Cheers from France! Keep rockin!
The live video for Jinjer's "Who Is Gonna Be the One" features some pretty great drumming too.
I really liked Vlad's open handed playing style with left hand on the hi-hat or the right hand on the ride. It's something I've been working on for quite some time. I know of some drummers who play in the open style but moved the ride over to the left side so that they do all their ride patterns with the left hand. When I started playing open, I decided to keep the ride on the right so that if I played on someone else's kit, I wouldn't need switch anything around. I also found that practicing beats both ways (left hand on hi-hat and then right hand on ride) helped me to really understand what was happening in the groove, where each note lay and where limbs played in unison.
Anyway Vlad nailed it. And I agree that his playing was transparent in a good way. What he played fit each part in such an unobtrusive manner that the focus was constantly on the singer and the melody. The only time he stood out was on the one blazing fill, creating just enough tension and surprise (as in WTF) leading into a brief pause before the vocals came back in. Talk about leaving the ego at the door and serving the music. Great!
I hope the singer is using some kind of technique to achieve the low growl. Because other wise she'll run into serious problems later on. It would be sad if she ruined her voice just for effect.
Howdy. Tatiana has been using this technique since 2010 at least. If anything her vocals only got better since then. She is using vestibular folds or false vocal cords technique to achieve this sound. If you wish to explore it a little bit farther, here is the funniest and yet the most comprehensive video I have come across yet explaining what's going on here vocally. th-cam.com/video/qWUUrdQfjn8/w-d-xo.html
@@Tunguska688 Thanks. I learned a lot from that video. And her reaction to the first time Tatiana does the growl was genuinely funny. First time I've ever seen someone do a natural spit take.
Look at the drummer's drumplay, really amazing!!!
I was waiting for your reaction to the vocal change, and you didn't disappoint :D
You couldn't have paused the video at a more perfect time. I was cracking up knowing what was going to happen after you pressed play again. Thanks for the laughs!
So glad you reacted to this. EVERYONE is stunned by Tatiana's voice, but what gets lost in the shuffle is just how tight the band is.
2 am, chillin on my couch in my Macro hoodie and snap back about to watch this dude experience my favorite band. This video was made originally to showcase the new (at the time) drummer, but quickly became the gateway video for the band lol. Even I use it to introduce people to them before I open it up to songs off Micro and Macro
Welcome to jinjer!
Looking forward to you checking more of them out.
Drum centric songs to see/hear are Home Back, Pit of Consciousness, the Prophesy, Ape.
I Speak Astronomy, and Sit Stay Roll over are also amazing, with their former drummer.
Subbed.
I've seen you several times when you've react on different drummers, but now you've reacted to one of my all-time favorite bands regardless of the musical genre! I've been into music for over 50 years and have been a musician myself for over 40 years, and this band is something very special. All musicians are, in my opinion, world class, everything is correct, also Tatis lyrics should be observed!
Another tip for you:
JINJER - Teacher, Teacher! (Official Video) | Napalm Records
and:
JINJER - On The Top (Live in Kiev) | Napalm Records
many thanks for your reaction and please stay safe!
greetings from germany
Thank you!
All ways Blown away by JINJER, thou this must be my 4234 time watching a Jinjer Reaction
HAHA Awesome Frank!
FINALLY, someone who can truly appreciate the work of that drummer too.
Just such pristine playing.
I was going to request this one too, but I thought you’d be too distracted by Tatiana to notice the drums. 😀
I was also praying that you didn’t take a sip of hot coffee right when the screaming started! 😎
Yeah that could be dangerous alright
Jinjer have caused some spit-takes and coughs when reactors drink at the wrong time.
The general rule is to never drink while watching Jinjer and always be ready for the unexpected.
its got what i call the SOAD switch , love that kind of thing where the sound just changes between styles
The absolute dead stop shock followed by the slight smirk had me rolling.
love the reaction! as a drum teacher i think ud really enjoy JINJER - Pit of Consciousness (Drum Cam Footage) though the full live video is also excellent.
Subscribed to see you do more Jinjer videos. Best band on Earth right now. The more videos you do of them, the more impressed you'll be by them. Vlad is a beast on the drums. He is very fun to listen to and watch. A lot of the time he plays with two high hats. One he uses normally, an a second one tucked way back that he only plays with the foot pedal. If you react to their song "On the Top" live in Kiev, it's really easy to pick out, but the more you listen to them, you can pick it out in most songs.
Yes I was blown away. I along with many others love to watch people being hocked by this band and her vocals...
Incredible Mike
My 5 year old daughters favourite band! She loves listening to Tatiana sing/scream. Post pandemic I can't wait to Jinjer live!
Tatiana is indeed one of the few who can sing like that, and she is always stunning. Jinjer is amazing.
Also Lena of Infected Rain. Her and Tati and friends.
I've listened to this many times, just figured out that they are running 6/8 on drums with 16ths running bass/guitar at the end. Cool sound.
🤣🤣😂😂 that reaction was my reaction when I first heard them, awesome skills this band, love your reaction 👌👍
Great reaction. I fell in love with junjer a couple of years ago and i gotta say.. member for member they are some of the best musicians around. Tatiana is a one off! They are even better live!!
Never gets old. That chorus has gotta be the most anticipated moment in all of metal reactions.
oh bro are you a new zealander? haha. im just always keeping an eye out for jinjer reactions, accent jumped straight out lol
Love the reaction! It's always fun to watch people react to this song!
If you are on the hunt for different drummers and bands to react to, you might enjoy the band Nightwish and their drummers Kai Hahto and Jukka Nevelainnen. Jukka is the original drummer, an incredible artist and performer, and when he had to quit the band due to health issues he recruited his friend Kai to take his place. Kai has been described as "a human metronome" and his speed is stunning. I admit I'm no expert on drumming, but some of his drumcam vids have left me with my jaw on the floor. He was previously with the band Wintersun, and if you want to see him in his element I recommend Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Stars. Otherwise, the traditional first Nightwish song for reactors is Ghost Love Score (Live at Wacken 2013) which was filmed with Jukka.
Yessss I've been waiting for this one!
DAMN!
I was blown away when the outlander video came out and had been recommended by a friend.
They were already so good even in the previous line-up with 2 guitars. Now they're gone kind of viral on YT and got the success that they earn last year, despite covid. They are a band that I wish all good in their career and hope it lasts loooong. I haven't heard one bad Jinjer song, and I guess I heard them all in the meantime....
And yeah, Vlad is an excellent drummer, extremely perfect, creative and talented. Well, they all are.
Love Community coffee with Chicory in it. Best flavors mixed together in perfect harmony. Also your review on Jinjer is spot on. Well done sir.
Thanks Hans!
That is CC’s Jazz Coffee…… @Andrew because it’s Chick Corea Coffee…😂🤣 More Vlad! I Speak Astronomy
Andrew, if you are blown away by an edited studio video, check them out on an actual live video. They are incredible. One of my fave discoveries of the last couple of years. Unbelievable energy from the stage. First time I heard Tatania, I had EXACTLY the same reaction as yourself. Reminds me of my ex fiancée, whom I met when I played in a band with her and she did the clean/dirt vocal n al... Tatania is something else. The band are incredible as a whole, between backbeat, technical chops, range and energy... hard to fault. Check out their discography. You will love it.
I've been waiting for you to do this one for ... about a year
Did not disappoint
Becoming addicted to 1st reactions to this one.
Freeze! Brain Snap!! WTF!!!???
Soooo glad you didn't pick up your coffee just at that moment!
{ as one other reactor did > go: Fairy Voice Mother. Oooops!}
A borderline Occ Health & Safety incident for sure.
Others noticing the excellent drummer also.
Cheers L
Still in shock now LOL
I'd love to see more full band performances from you, Andrew, it's nice to see and hear the whole mix rather than just isolated or solo drum performances.
100% I'm keen on that!
I had the exact same reaction when a guy at work showed me this video of the latest band he was obsessed with. I choked on my coffee when the chorus came 😂
