What I love about this guy is he plays for the music. He doesn’t overdo it, he just plays what suits the song. He has so much in his locker and every now and again he gives us a hint of what he’s capable of, and it’s just stunning!
I feel like the drummers are the most under appreciated band members.. They keep the pace balance and drag the songs along, without them there is no band.
Actually, I would not be suprised if Nightwish used click tracks :-) The music is quite complex, there are times when drums are not playing, there are times where sound effects are triggered, I think the timing is not driven by the drummer.
@@talaniel They use a click track and a backing track via Pro Tools. Especially in songs like this one that's the only option. It's the only way to blend in the orchestra and the backing vocals. The same track is also used to trigger visual effects. As for the importance of drummers, every band member is very important. I'm a drummer myself and for me the bass player is very important. All that matters is how you perform as a band.
Comparison doesn't mean to not appreciate. At least not for me. I like Jukka on "his" songs more than Kai. But I am sure I would miss Kai when Jukka played Kais songs. Even if they'd play exactly the same. There is no better or worse. It's just about style and taste. Still great thing about Kai is that he plays on Jukkas songs what Jukka played and doesn't change too much. That tells what a great musician Kai is.
Jukka has officially announced he will not be returning to nightwish as the bands official drummer. Kai has assumed the role of Nightwish's full time official drummer. Jukka, your stage presence and power will be missed. Kai, your skill and precision on the skins has been and will continue to be phenomenal. Although you've already been working with the band for 4 yrs, I think it's time we as fans officially welcome you to Nightwish.
@@philliptedrow4105 there is one huge difference between the drummers you mentioned. Mangini is not and will never be a composer like Portnoy. Just kick ass drummer.. 😉
I don't care how old this video is; what a joy to be able to watch Kai perform from his perspective. I love his tuning and style. We have had only the best drummers playing in NightWish! Super treat!
How about Lars Ulrich? He plays with such a passion that he forgots sometimes to play doublebass and forgots whats The songs tempo. Sometimes hes so exited that he forgets what Song he is playing and starts to hit The china crash constantly.
Sorry for answering to such an old post, but this must be the most ignorant post I've seen regarding Kai. If Kai ain't that good, then am eager to hear your take on who are. At this level it seems more like really small margins and nuances to me (differences between the drummers) :)
Henri Ek Well I agree that lot is personal taste. As said Kai is good, no question and I did not argue about that. I like to listen to Nightwish and hear him playing also on stage. But I was not stating that he is the best as one post did. There are drummers out there who easily can compare with him such as: Marco Minneman, Thomas Lang, Mike Mangini, Dennis Chambers, Danny Carey, Vinnie Colaiuta just to name a few.
Kai is a world class drummer! Reminds me Ian Paice a bit. Fluid and a very smooth style. For non drummers that’s a huge compliment. I liked his work in Wintersun too. He is obviously different than Jukka but I’m not sure we would want a clone. This adds a different flavor and both guys are kick ass!! Nightwish has it covered either way!
Amazing! Jukka was the reason i loved drumms and started playing, but Kai seems to have the same passion and spirit with a more complex and innovating plays! Well done Nightwish! With or sadly without Jukka, you will always rock my heart with your songs! Keep up!
My God, Kai is so awesome - its just beautiful, listening to this drumcam even tho' it years old......still hear it when they play GLS today. Thank you, Kai!
Kai is a great guy! I met him and the others in Nightwish before a show in Pittsburgh, PA on the 2nd leg of their US Tour on 24 February 2016. Was an amazing experience! I've even had the pleasure to chat with him a couple times since then! Very nice and a hell of a drummer. I do hope Jukka gets himself rested and back with the band. But it's nice knowing someone like Kai can step in and do a more than capable job!
It's impossible to listen to this song and not keep tapping your feet. The battery line is just beautiful! Kai is amazing!! About Floor is not even necessary to comment. She is just fantastic!
james grames its basically a very fast serial management that appears to be parallelized. You need to work on it but it becomes subconscious eventually
Oh wow, thanks for sharing this, my favourite song and amazing to see these camera angles with the drums isolated as much as they can be - amazing, what an outstanding drummer he is :)
I don't like how people are thinking that drummer is good if he's playing fast. The most unique and the best drummers are those who are able to compose their parts. This is a masterpiece!
Fascinatiing to watch. Kai was really getting into it towards the end. It's also nice to see him obviously enjoying himself. His hand speed at the finale is impressive.
Extremely impressive. Most people are not aware of what's really happening behind the drumset during a live concert. It's tremendous hard work, and the drummer has to be So extremely accurate. Great video.
Kai and Jukka are amazing in their own rights. Each have a different playing style which makes them unique. Jukka was like a badass pirate bandit with a drumset and Kai is like the wise old teacher that is avenging Jukka after insomnia took him from the world (not literally, just a figure of speech). Fun fact: Jukka learned how to play drums from Kai.
Nice to see all the technical stuff that usually is drowning in all the orchestral arrangements. Those ghost strokes were very nice. I heard he added quite a few details of his own to the original drum parts.
Amazing that a human being can do this. How many hours may he have been practicing during his life to pull this off. He's a metronomic multitasking rhythm machine. Amazing. Great to hear this on a single drum audio channel/video recording, with Floor slightly hearable in the background.
I've never understood the traditional high-hat pedal in a double bass set up! Holy shitzies! I saw that just the toe end of the left pedal is the high hat! I knew it would be double high-hat, one open one closed but I knew I could hear that jaw open close sound. Thank you for this xxxx GB
I'm not here to state anything smart or some...but I'm only here to share my deepest emotions, by knowing and seeing this! Pride, crying of laughter and so much deep, deep respect... What physical overdrives a drummer has to expose, it's un-imaginable...night after night. And Kai hasn't even got the time to see and absorb beautiful Lady Floor, bringing her un-imaginable high qualities to the stage!
does anyone know if there is a drum cam of jukka in ghost love score. Don't get me wrong, Kay is a great drummer. but I think Jukka is so beautiful to see how Jukka is fighting with his drum kit. his movements. This Jukka is Night Wish, great!
I got involved to NW drumcam making through Kai, so I don't have any footage from Jukka and it seems there really isn't any anywhere. He's a super good drummer and his playing visuals looked really good.
Holy Shit!!! That's incredible!!! Of course Kai can do much more but he plays for the song & the audience not his ego. The perfect professional but in that ending you get a taste. Thanks so much for this drum cam view!!!
Kai is so great.. Fantastic drummer. Nightwish be thankful to have him and Floor as members in the band. Show more of Kai during the concerts, we don't see him as often as we did Yukka... Such a hard worker..

Check out his playing with Wintersun and you'll see what he is capable of 😉
velmox yep hes the best drummer in the world
Acho ele muito humilde, técnico e parece sempre feliz ao tocar as músicas
The man can play anything. One of the best drummers out there.
True that. Name one song he cant play or lacks the original talent, there's no such song. The odds are, he makes it better always.
He can play everything, she can sing everything and Tuomas can create everything. Great
@@jjniemela wondering if he can play Iron Maiden songs or RAMMSTEIN
Damm, that energy....wow
This one's a sleepy day for him.
Nightwish fans dont know how lucky they are to have Kai in the band. His job at Wintersun is wonderful.
Ofcourse we know, silly. I'd love to have Jukka back but there is not better man to take his position untill he does, than Kai.
@Rabbit Snare As far as I know, they couldn't get any better replacement for for Jukka either. He is a hell of a drummer.... But I miss Jukka
TRUE
Hoh-hoijaa.. Typerys? Hikee pukkaa Kailla kun on niin "tylsää".. Oikeesti?

Nope, music is soulless without the bass guitar. It's the backbone of every band. But drums add to what they lack.
Band members do appreciate their drummers. Its the fans and the media who don't.
@@justforfunpagla Indeed. Playing with an awesome drummer is simply inspiring.
Kai is an incredible drummer. Jukka is an incredible drummer.
I wish people would stop comparing the one with the other...
No
真的，兩位鼓手真的都很棒
well they both amazing (cuz Kai is also a good Friend of Jukka)

ieetemos4breakfast Such a shame that he probably isn’t going to play for Wintersun anymore, but he’s killing it with Nightwish anyway
Inb4 Jukka joins Wintersun
Like Portnoy's leaving Dream Theater, Mangini fits in perfectly! You don't have to be a showman to be a kick ass drummer!

I know! At 3:16 I was melting on the inside

Wow, dat articulation of the ghost notes in the verses. I love the subtle textural stuff Kai does while keeping the feel of a simple groove constant.
I can't believe I've been blessed enough to see these masters live TWICE.
I love how he's toying around with this song. Like it is a sunday morning for him :3
when drummer likes what he do, this is it, look how he enjoy . One best drummer on world
How about Lars Ulrich? He plays with such a passion that he forgots sometimes to play doublebass and forgots whats The songs tempo. Sometimes hes so exited that he forgets what Song he is playing and starts to hit The china crash constantly.
Man, drummers are on a league of their own. My brain cant even assimilate how many things he is doing at the same time.
Right?? Impressive to say the least! I can't even walk and chew gum well. 😂
the best drummer that I have ever seen playing live. Nightwish is one lucky band to have him behind the drums.
I have to laugh very very hard now... come on man. this guy is very good, but your drummers world must be very small.
If you wanna know how good he really is you should listen to Rotten Sound or Wintersun

He's god of the drums... I can't understand how he can move every part of his body to another direction in the same time so precisely... mindblowing.
A lot of talent and a greater lot of practising.
Answers:
Practice..,practice..,practice...
The drummer is always the man with the most bodyaction. No one on stage has more action than he! This was AWESOME

Man he's good. I love watching drummers who make it look effortless! Brilliant!
Simply unbelievable. Hard work for great sound. Enjoyed it like hell on Dec. 18th 2022 in first row! Thank you so much for that insight.

Yup :) and he's now their permanent drummer
Thought 'This going to be boring' when clicked the link. Have never been wrong more. The job Kai does is fantastic and so underrated.
It's impossible to listen to this song and not keep tapping your feet. The battery line is just beautiful! Kai is amazing!!
About Floor is not even necessary to comment. She is just fantastic!
They really need to give Hahto more freedom and influence on the band. Dude is god.
Ai 2:10... what a different aprouch. Im really enjoying his stay in nightwish. I find those chokes on cymbal and faster fills pleasant on some songs.
Pretty impressed with that bit myself as well
Do drummers have 4 separate brains to control each limb?
Every drummer in a past life was an octopus.
they controll them just at the same time - like you do use mouse and keyboard at the same time ;) it is a learned squence
james grames its basically a very fast serial management that appears to be parallelized. You need to work on it but it becomes subconscious eventually
@@KinkyNothing Are you in Computer Science by any chance? If you are then that explanation was O(1), if you're not then awesome.
It looks so dificult for me. Every part his body doing diferent moves. Wow.Hands legs. Yes I agree drummers have a four brains to control this. :)
Let the "Drums" do the talking.. words cannot describe such superb drumming!!! 👌👌👍😯👏👏
This is such a great recording. One sees so little of a drummer and in this case. Such an excellent performance. A great drummer.
Great to see the real working man in his position! Respect to the master of the cans & plates!
Oh wow, thanks for sharing this, my favourite song and amazing to see these camera angles with the drums isolated as much as they can be - amazing, what an outstanding drummer he is :)
Recording behind stage near drums and still Floor plows through.
I love Kai but I love Floor too. Check her work on Ayreon and Star One out if you haven't
i am watching this on 13 november 2020...love to watching this guy play" solid drumming yeah kai!!!🤘🤘🤘sory for my english 😁
Impressive work. it's the first time i've noticed how a good drummer upgrades the song to a new level and how important good drumplay really is.
My goodness, the comfortingly calm solitude of this view ❤️❤️❤️ thank you for sharing
I'm by no means musically trained or anything but the fill (i think that's what it is) at the end of the bar at 2:08 is just amazing! :O
The ultimate time keepers don't come from Switzerland. There is only one ultimate time keeper. His name is Kai Hahto, and he comes from Finland.
It's crazy how Floor's voice above all else gets recorded so well on these drum cam videos.
Professional drummer! Congratulations! Hug from Brazil!
I have seen him 2 times with Nightwish. Always great to see his fantastic drumming.
He makes this song look so easy. Amazing. Also, I like how you can still hear Floor completely over the drums
Kai still blows me away. Wow !
Makes it look so effortless
Bravo to Nightwish getting such a Guy.
He ticks all the boxes
I don't like how people are thinking that drummer is good if he's playing fast. The most unique and the best drummers are those who are able to compose their parts.
This is a masterpiece!
Amazing. Simply amazing!
Oh my God! Did you see this final with double kick? And did you see his face, giving all he had? Awesome, amazing, etc. Wow!
So much respect for Kai!!!!
Bye from Holland
Geil und dann noch der Originalsound. Hammer Schlagzeuger!
Fascinatiing to watch. Kai was really getting into it towards the end. It's also nice to see him obviously enjoying himself. His hand speed at the finale is impressive.
That timing and precision is honestly Godlike! Sorry, I forgot, Kai Hahto drum skills are Godlike \m/
WOW! I knew Kai is an incredible drummer, but this showcases his talent! Great to see this! GO KAI!
Extremely impressive. Most people are not aware of what's really happening behind the drumset during a live concert. It's tremendous hard work, and the drummer has to be So extremely accurate. Great video.
WOW WOW WOW it's good to see how the heart of the NIGHTWISH band works !!! nice video :)
I got tired just watching him, MY GOD! Full respect!
I have always been blown away by Kai's technical prowess but in this case Im even more impressed on how he manages to restrain here.
great technical skills!! 👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Just found this, OMG - at the and I thought the stage will collapse :) - what a beautiful drumming it's been.
really awesome... Hahtorgasm
Agree.
Reminds me of the unbelievable night on 12.04.2016. One of my best nights in Beijing!!!
Nice to see all the technical stuff that usually is drowning in all the orchestral arrangements. Those ghost strokes were very nice. I heard he added quite a few details of his own to the original drum parts.

Such a hard worker..
Now we have drum cams of both Jukka and Kai to this song
And both are amazing!

I really love Jukkas playing but Kai is also the main. His fills, use of cymbals, db triplets and those super technical fills at the end are incredible
