kai hahto-beyond the dark sun-wintersun

[Orton4Ever]

*Faints from the Epicness*

[LaMagra70]

What I love about you is (forget the immense drumming skills for now) that you seem to enjoy Wintersun's music as much as Jari does. You just can't see love for what they're playing just burst out of drummers as much as you can in your videos. :) (or at all, actually)

[HarmonicChaos666]

Just attempted this song on drum, My ankles hurt >:(

[finarm]

1:54-2.36 is godlike

[soulhunterrx]

holy shit...

how come your hands are not falling off...

oh and also is there any wintersun merchandice?

i would love to buy it xD

[JL3Wind]

@soulhunterrx There are some T-shirts :D

[soulhunterrx]

@JL3Wind how does i get D:

[JL3Wind]

@soulhunterrx Well, first of all they have some at their website wintermadness(dot)net at the merchandise area and if you google search "wintersun merchandise" or "wintersun t-shirt" you will probably find some great webshops selling them. Then you just pick what you want and buy it :D

[bobdole3355]

You're my favorite drummer and I've been lucky enough to meet you twice! Not only are you an absolutely amazing drummer, you are also an incredibly nice person! Keep on kicking ass.

[Mustainecakes]

My balls hurt watching this :(

[khahto]

not a sampled kick..all acoustic in here..:)

[InquisitorDice]

@khahto What are your thoughts on sampling? Live or in studio? Reason I ask is that Ive seen many videos where you dont use samples, but some with Kollias who is pretty heavy handed with samples (not in those videos necessarily, but in fact). Anyway, you're my favorite drummer and keep hitting shit!

[InquisitorDice]

In other vids I saw kai not using sampled kick. But sounds like this one was sampled, correct?

[khahto]

@InquisitorDice hi! no samples in this clip..all acoustic.cheers! kai

[wibier6]

holy shit O.O well wintersun is the only band i wont even try playing myself its way to hard

[reaperchild707]

does it make you proud to know that your playing in the best band ever assembled?

[guitalfredo]

Yeah!!! you are a god of the drums, really amazing

[Embizzle804]

The world needs more drummers like you, guy... Keyboards in metal is so damn underappreciated in the States.  I cant get my band together.

[Embizzle804]

The world needs more drummers like you, guy... Keyboards in metal is so damn underappreciated in the States

[greengo44]

I love this guy . Amazing works of hands, AMAZING!!!! Especially in Sleeping Stars. Hail to Kai!!!

[emuckensturm]

Greetings from America! This is amazing!

[helixek]

I NEVER LOOKED BEHIND! I NEVER TRIED TO FIND SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE MADE ME ONE!! =)

[krsnowboarding11]

omggg. i love you 

[Hermylolol]

Amazing drumming, Kai!

[Broseph5839572]

makes me cry

[shieldofwings]

What 1 jackoff gave this a dislike thumbsdown....?

[alexi1515]

@shieldofwings Somekind of bastard who wants to be special -.-

[SlideSlipn]

this is such a cool song the drum is the best!!!

[MrLuciferion]

bass drum is fucking killer....

[994sven]

this is epic

[Cunthacker]

ROTTEN SOUND!!!! hehe.

[cauztophobic]

wow, thats pure drumming skill

[blithe66x]

The whole song is so beautiful, but at 1:40 it just turns into pure epicness! And the epicness lasts to the end! Damn what a song!

[blithe66x]

The whole song is so beautiful, but at 1:40 it just turns into pure epicness! And the epicness lasts to the end! Damn what a song!

[blithe66x]

The whole damn song is so beautiful, but after 1:40 to the end it's just damn epic! Amazing!

[Akingboy]

Good drummers and people making great music with something epic in it get lost and unnoticed behind the commercial crap people make to gain profit by selling it to teenagers.

[taxi911]

and they say joey that fuck bag jordison is a good drummer. look at this guy, he's so calm about the shit. I bet joey has a whiny look on his face behind his mask... wait... i've seen him without the mask and he's truly whiny. it's a load of bollocks how these guys are always going unnoticed. true talent will never be heard in this garbage world of ours.

[Peikkokukka]

seen him several times live on different tours in finland. his actually keeping his eyes shut 4 the fastest parts, his face looks like x)

hail perkele!

[peroslowned]

joey jordison is overrated but he's by no means a bad drummer...slipknot is actually a pretty good band with a unique and aggressive sound, they wouldn't be getting all this hate if they weren't popular.

by the way, kickass drumming, wintersun pwns :D

[quasarwaves]

holy shit this is SO TIGHT

[taxi911]

i was just about to say that... now i can't...

[wiskaNator]

nicely done...holy FAAACK!

[FinnishWolf007]

@Ellinarkkari

Mielestäni Hahto on kyllä helvetisti parempi :D

ps: Kyllä Saari soittaa osaa :D

[xxzizlxx]

That drum kit probably has more battle scars than any other kit out there.

[WinterSong528]

Ha! Take that all you freaking posers! That's how you play Beyond The Dark Sun!

[Klavikal]

[Videkiazene]

simply The Best

[albobay1]

yo kai u gonna come to switzerland i bet z7 in basel will book u in.

[SkullSenpai]

Yeah he did. They have a whole band now, but it's all composed by mr Jari and Kai.

[Darkkurama0sannin]

Kai Hahto=Finish God (Ahti?) xDDDD!! ALL HAIL KAI ~_~!

[rslilboy11]

correct if im wrong but didn't Jari do all the insturments on their first album but drums?

[ACardFan]

I'd say yes, but I read it on Wikipedia. Not 100% sure, but I think so. However they have a whole band now ( you probably knew that ).

[BoM45]

yes..... as he stated on the liner notes on the cd.

[metalxhead99]

Yeah. But for live shows he just does lead guitar and vocals. And has other guys come in for the other instraments.

[ReakingVengence]

wow dude, u are trully amazing.

[Blindnesss]

wooo... I blew on my pants! man you rulle!!!!

[albobay1]

great drumming keep it up. btw im gonna buy time.

[ManuelKa]

Could watch that all day long in a loop.

[ShadowVarius]

Great drumming man, keep it up!! =] Can't wait for Wintersun's new album Time.

[Puppelpoeka]

kyllä kaikka osaa :D arvostan todella soittoasi :D jaksat ainakin pitkään nopeita blast beatteja. esim. battle against timessä. 5/5 (y)

[Irhvin93]

HAHTO PERKELE!

[mauritia]

[DarkJyri]

oli muuten hyvä ku olit sillon tääl Lahden rumpuklinikalla ja sit sanoit jotain tyyliin et "ite ku kattelee noita videoita missä soittaa, ni huomaa hyvin ite kuinka paska on" ;D klinikoita tiedossa? :)

[reYKCuf]

These guys are fuckin great can't wait for Time.

[elmomuncher]

neil peart aint got shit on this guy wintersun u fukin rock

[Bennett1777]

Man I think that little gallop part at 1:43 is just sweet. Awesome

[SeanDoesGuitar]

takes endurance to blast for 2 minutes like in battle against time :P gj

[FearlessSpinner]

One of the best!

Minä rakastan sinua!

[uabbmx]

fucking masterpiece of a band.. yet i almost prefer watching this as opposed to the actual song most of the time lol..

[Jman6752]

kai hahto for the win

[Nekrowizard]

Kai is such an amazing drummer. His work with Wintersun is simply fenomenal.

[S4ZM0]

Toi on kyl ihan mahtavaa :D Jos tossa ei tuu hiki niin sittei kyllä missään.. ;) Albumia odotellessa! :P

[dominic508]

...wow O_O

[miekka18]

Paras rumpali, parhaimpia bändejä ja loistava biisi

[TheJudge88]

You and Jari takes music to a whole new level. Fucking crazy, can't wait for the new album! Been waiting forever!

[Talvisielu]

Tulkaa Meksikoon!!!

[Mirspeedhun]

Aiva mahtavaa!

[matori]

Kai, tell Jari & the guys to come to Belgrade!!! You guys kick fuckin' ass! Kippis!

[OsiriusX]

Whoa! I think Kai is probably the best finnish drummer ever :o

However. This is fucking great! Can't wait new Wintersun album.

[eragon2121]

That is amazing, you are so skillful!

[Bennett1777]

There is a video on of Kai playing Obey by his old band Rotten Sound and it just gives you such a great example of how good his technique is.

[Bennett1777]

Man Kai is by far my favorite drummer just so technical and skilled. Although there are a lot out there he just makes it look so easy. Kind of effortless you know.

[khahto]

Hi! Thanks all for the comments.

The play along tape what i use here was made by Jari and Teemu for me to practice at home with the songs.

So the tape includes just guitars,click,bass and some synths..

Cheers!

Kai

[deadlea5764]

wintersun come to maldives !!! youll never go back !!!!!!

[Agathoviolhs]

@khahto , any idea where can we get the play along Kai :) ?!

[HERBIVOR1212]

@khahto kai!!!!! wtf is going on with wintersun ?!!!! does yari died or something we got no news nothing

[JL3Wind]

@HERBIVOR1212 Jari updated the website and his facebook profile like a week ago, check it out!

[lman2004]

so does this play along tape take out drums and vocals? or just vocals?

[octum]

More famous than Bodom!!

[GitarrSnubben666]

wintersun gonna be as famous as in flames soon i feel it

[CANOFSPAM9]

No, they're going to be more famous than in flames. Much more.

[ezcheeze591]

they are way more famous and way more talented. no one comes close to touching anything about wintersun imho

[KilledbiDeath]

How cool isn't this, the drummer himself on Yo-Tube. You don't see Reinert, Hoglan, Haake or Colaiuta upload themsleves. :)

[winterSTU]

Because they don't do clinics, because noones wants to see them play their crap bands music =D

You need to get a life, and a better taste in music poserman.

[slayeroflight]

You're a fucking moron.

[agonicfrost]

[BigMutch]

[XsaatananpalvojaX]

Amazing...

[paskem1]

Kai Hahto on JUMALA!!!!!!!!!

[KingOfTerrors]

Holy fucking balls. This is AMAZING

What's up with guitar though? It sounds nothing like the album, shit, now I have to re-figure some stuff if this is how it's really played

[m4tthewk]

Sounds like there's just one guitar track so it's missing the harmony and the solos you would hear on the album. Other than that it doesn't sound different than what is played on the album to me.
