Must be awesome to be THAT good at something. Especially something as difficult as the drums! This guy is in the pocket the whole 10+ minutes on what is a very challenging piece of music. Totally awesome!
@RonMa1den it's not the mixed version, you can tell by the date that it was uploaded, Jari only started the mixing for Time II in late 2012, it does however sound like all the raw material
The backing track has probably been totally finished since their US tour, its the guitars that Jari isn't happy with, I'm just going by the date this was uploaded that this probably isn't the fully mixed backing track
Pretty sure it's not the album version. For starters, Jari hadn't had much mixed during this release (hopefully that's not the case now!). Also, you can just tell by the sound of it, it's a rough mix - guitars are way too loud and un EQ'd, and it doesn't sound like there are 200 tracks of orchestrations like there are supposed to be on the album. Sounds almost demo-ish. Despite that, it still sounds incredible.
Time 2 is out Finallyyyyyy. Here to appreciate the drums after listening to the studio version
seriously, this guy is a machine. cant believe how tight he is, he timing and power are unrivalled. unreal
hard to believe that 10 years later it's still not out
Maybe when they retire they donate their stuff to a museum
Finally coming this year!
2 months to go!
9:15 Sure, when doing blast beat you have plenty of time to do some hihat chokes.
'How... how long was I gone? I've waited years'
Watching him play with Nightwish makes you wonder if he could do it with just one hand...
If you pay close attention, you can see that Kai is the one who is making that metronome sound with his tongue.

YOU'RE THE BEST KAI!!
9:49
This part is just amazing the way he works around the kit.
Few more months for the studio version bois!
No wonder he is the go to guy in Finland as drummers getting lessons.
That amount of blastbeat can't be healthy :)
GOD!!!! GOD of Drums!!!
Kai is fucking crazy drummer of all world !!!
Wait a minute, that's not a live track in the background, but the actual album demo. Holy shit!
Well yeah duh, you think they use fan record from youtube on live ?
6:38 just before the solo starts Kai's drums go up in smoke from the epiucness
the next battle against time
Oh man, damn near crapped myself, this is awesome, we know how to play the song before it's even released haha
i just want to mention that this sone will be finally released on Wintersun - Time II album on March 1st 2024 so be prepared ;)
*August
Agree 100%. That is my favorite part of the song as well. 5:02 - 6:00 is too much to handle.
9:14 No fucking way 🤣 The GOAT
5:02
0_0
*puts sticks away*
*cries*
The way of the fire, travelling against time!
I love that pretty riff at 3:46...
This track exist!
Check him out in Rotten Sound! :D
So this was before uge jetisonned the splash!
5:02... best part of the hole song.. :) only epic
fucking great machine... :)
Der duracell hase!!
thats not the drums smoking, thats his robotic right hand
Around 10:00 it seems that Kai needs an oxygen mask to play any faster.

Its all recorded but not fully mixed is what I'm getting at

Time II D-69 😎
5:30 to 6:10
lol how come I haven't seen it before
He can play Da Wae........
fuckin legend
@RonMa1den also,on the big orchestral part,just before the final chorus,the erhu (chinese violin) is way too loud...
On...on sitte sen luokan paukutusta että saa lähtä kokeileen😅
He's probably making more money than ever now (good for him, really) but a waste of a drummer it's been his time with Nightwish
Hes nearly 50 you know.
That isn't a riff, it's a part of the first solo :p
Actually the song has some extremely low vocals on 1:56..you can barely hear them
maybe the first time EVER that I want the drums to be muted... SO I COULD HEAR THE TRACK ^^
you can't trick me. that's an android with an identity-chip of a master drummer! nice try
maybe hahto is not so quick, but he never misses a single note :)
Not quick? Kai Hahto? I never thought you could fit those in a sentence.
Not so quick... What?
How would you define quick then :o
zaken6
Hahahaha hahahhahahababah
Hahahahahaha hahahahahahah
He may not be Spencer Pruitt of Archspire, but he’s pretty damn fast as a drummer. Kai is also super tasteful as a drummer. I love his style.
