kudos to whoever was tuning Kai's drums on this tour. Every video I've seen of them live that year his drums have sounded so much better than the times I saw them in 2015 and 2018.
Kai's drumtech is a Finnish guy Jarkko Piipari. Skilled with drums and a super nice guy! Check his Instagram instagram.com/mediapiipari?igsh=Z3AzNzF1MjEzYmZp
With the show being in Vaasa, means Kai told you guys "Hey, call me 10 minutes before we start, I'll be home watching TV!" 😅 Nah, I'm sure he was there way, way before, getting ready and making sure everything is ok. This man never ever stops drumming, even if hes not next to a drum kit, he will tap with his hands on the table or his knees. He's living and breathing drums! Can't wait to see him again live.
Kai really felt that one, you can see it in the way he briefly smiled 😊 There's another well placed fill at 5:32 when he looked at Tuomas and I'm sure his thought was "I was not done earlier with that fill, take this one too!"
Thank you for this Friday surprise, Antti. They didn't play this at the 2 shows I saw them on the US/Can leg of the tour. One of my favorites. Be well and stay safe!
Must be a challenge for an artist, to support another artists´creation and vision, enhancing it with own artistry, without alienating the initial message.
Kaitsu ja Antti, niin hyvä tulee. Olen itse vähän kotitarverumpalisti (digirummut makuuhuoneessa). Olen vissiin katsonut lähes kaikki drumcam -videosi. 😅👍
My god Kai holds back! Nightwish got an absolute phenomenal drummer to replace Jukka- but compared to his playing in Wintersun this is just a walk in the park...
Tää kanava on mahtava, mutta mun on pakko sanoa, että tykkään enemmän vanhemmista videoista, jossa ääntä oli käsitelty vähemmän. Iso syy miks nää videot on ollu niin siistejä kattoa, on että pääsee kuulemaan miltä eri rumpaleiden setit kuulostaa oikeasti akustisena, eikä PA:n tai tyypillisen live-taltioinnin miksaus+masterointi-putken läpi prosessoituna.
Kiitti palautteesta ja hyvä pointti. Molemmissa on puolensa, ja myös artistilla on sananvaltaa asiassa, että millaista tehdään. Uskoisin, että molempia videoita tulee jatkossakin. Esim. uusi Portimo-video on mun oma äänitys, toki olen sitäkin käsittelyt, mutta ei ole mikään multi-track-miksaus.
Go to Tommy Johansson's YT and listen to him when he sings covers on, among other things, abba qeen gary more and others. He sings like a god, plays all the instruments himself. Just quit Sabaton as a guitarist and also has his own band majestica. Fantastic person
Somehow these Nightwish songs just don't seem to take full advantage of the talent that the musicians have. Regardless I do enjoy Nightwish music alot.
You either love Kai or you hate him. He is so perfect in what he does that he divides the waters. It sounds very robotic and in my taste it loses the essence of live. too much HD 😂
I totally disagree. He plays so well that he is the reason I started listening Nightwish again after a long break. A drummer that really makes a difference. But he is a musician not such of a showman as Jukka was.
@@katilaine6866 Does nightwish make a difference? Haha! It couldn't be more limited. Have you heard it on whintetsun? Nightwish does not need a virtuoso drummer, you have to know how to accompany and exploit the epic of the symphony. and Jukka knew that very well. Still, I like Kai, it's excellent, but it deserves a band that takes advantage of it technically. Still... it's just an opinion. Keep enjoying it. I'm here in your video for a reason.
One of my favourite tracks! Great performance by Demi-God Kai!
INCREDIBLE!!
5:31 - I love how after that drum fill, Tuomas is giving Kai a look of approval and Kai receives with a smile like "I know, that was cool man!" .

@@anttikangasahoWhen did the german guy leave (can't recall his name)?
They made the switch after the Decades tour.

damn, that last minute is pure gold
Kai is always perfect.
After the fill at 4:37 Kai takes a quick look at Tuomas as if he was thinking "damn, that wasn't too much, was it?" haha!
Yeah...that's priceless 😃 Overall it shows there's a lot of good vibes and emotions present.
Kai really felt that one, you can see it in the way he briefly smiled 😊

Those fills during the outro are so nice. Also that floor Tom sounds goooood. Well done!
Simplesmente fantástico!
Kai the legend
Loving jukka
I think everybody does 😊 We are very lucky to have a dude like Kai to continue his work 🥁
Amazing video! loved the camera angles, giving a nice view of what Kai is doing exactly. The sound of that snare is on fire

Kyyylllä se Kaitsu näyttää tykkäävän tuosta touhusta vieläkin 💪
Tema complicado linda combinación de pasos de tiempo me gusta
Mestarin suoritus. Basarin nuijaa ei haudata kalvoon...
I was there 🤘

Do you ever think you could get him to do a rig rundown?
That would be actually pretty cool, I'll keep this in mind. Thanks!
Haha, l misplaced myself in Kitee. 😅👍

Kiitos ja hyvä kun maistuu 🤘🏻 Aina voi katsoa uudelleen, vaikka kaikki. Soittamisen iloa! 😃
are those loaner cymbals?
Nope, Kai is using Sihi Cymbals nowadays
@@anttikangasaho when did he drop meinl?
He has been with Sihi Cymbals after the pandemic, basically the whole Human-Nature tour
My god Kai holds back! Nightwish got an absolute phenomenal drummer to replace Jukka- but compared to his playing in Wintersun this is just a walk in the park...
Poor Kai, he never can listen to the beautiful voice of Floor😊
I think he has her in the earplugs, or he just remember when he can fire off a fill.
For sure she's at a small level in his in-ear mix.
Yes this audio track is not his in-ear mix. I'm sure he has some vocals there too.
Hyvin hämmentää.

How can you hate him
Boring.
