If you loved this I can't wait to see your reaction to Time. I mean this is a masterpiece but I think Time takes everything to another level.

Kai❤ just love this..next Time at the same session. .this band 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

I am so obsessed by this band. Most talented metal musicians I ever saw! Any army will march a hundred miles on this one!

Wonderful reaction to an epic song. I am 70. I have played drums for over 60 years. This was a masterclass in drumming by Kai. I know you talked about his feet on the double kick, but he has incredibly fast hands. With three months practice, and going back in time to when I was 20 and playing professionally I maybe could play 30% of this. That doesnt make me a bad drummer, it makes Kai unreal.

This is going to be interesting😂😂 Bring it on sir. It's amazing that Jari can sing so powerfully with half a lung missing due to tuberculosis. Imagine what he would be like at 100% instead of 75%

"You guys know I like epic music" at 3:35. We shall be following this one with great interest!

For other Kai moments you should check "Time" from this same rehearsal and "Battle against time" that is a killer song from the start to the end. Also you can see him doing his amazing drum work on other band called Swallow The Sun and the song "Cathedral walls". Nice reaction by the way!, greetings from Chile!

I think it's my 1st comment at your channel. That was a great reaction!!! Jari Mäenpää, the lead guitarist and singer, is for Wintersun, what is Tuomas for Nightwish. A great composer, a poet, the man behind everything, Fan Fact: He is missing a third of his right lung due to tuberculosis he suffered back in 1997 while he was in the army. What to tell about Kai; He's an Atomic Clock!!!

You should definitely check out "Time" from the same rehearsal session next! One might argue it's even better than this one.

I absolutely love the guitar playing by jari and teemu in this song, as well as kai's drums! They're such a solid team together

Dude, pumped or what? 🤘 Best frikken reaction ever 🤘 I love this band so much bro, thanks for reacting standing up, letting us see your moves 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

One of the best bands in Finland and my hometown. That studio where they were filming and recording that second album is about 1-2km from my home. The whole band consists of really skilled musicians. Jari Mäenpää (blonde guitarist) is the same for the band as Tuomas Holopainen for Nightwish, composer-lyricist. Three videos have been made of that same live rehearsal situation. "Time" is about the same length as this and a really good song. You should try it next from them.

And now it's time for Time.

This was utterly amazing, from start to finish. Crazy good vocals, guitars, and those drums. Kai you're a beast!! 🤘🤘

Glad you enjoyed it! The natural progression with Wintersun would be "Time" next. From the same studio rehearsals.

Wintersun 🇫🇮❤💯🙏👍👌

I love the second half when they start layering in all the different vocals. It becomes so epic

Oh yes! Was wondering when you'd react to this. Wintersun never disappoints.

And he sings like this with a LARGE chunk of lung removed

Kai is a beast and the song is a masterpiece.

Kai always looks so very happy when he is playing. Other drummers sometimes makes ugly faces and you can see that there is quite a lot of strain going in to the playing. Kai doesn't do that, most of the time he has a big happy grin on his face, and the more complicated and intricate it is the happier he looks. Cheers / B.

Believe me man. This band is another rabbit hole. Time for next reaction

"you guys know I like epic music" Jari with Batman voice: "then you're gonna love me"

I am half Swedish, and half Pict. This song brings ALL my berserker DNA screaming awake. I am a clear and present danger to all Northern British monasteries and Roman legionnaires.

Love your reactions. I knew you would dig this the most. Try 'Time' from the same session. Keep on Nightwishing on. 🤘😜🤘

Greetings from Finland😊🤘🇫🇮 Next, Time from the same live session or The way of the fire live. I can also recommend the song Wintermadnes as a good workout music

I can’t stop seeing reactions to this video😂

Heh - you looked as though you were ready to climb directly into the cage by the end of this one.

Can confirm excellent workout song Not just intensity and quality, but the length is just about perfect for reps

The music actually sounds a bit weird here when mixed down to a mono track, as some instruments are louder and others are fainter than in the original mix and the spatial feeling is gone. Normally that doesn't bother me so much in reaction videos but apparently in Wintersun it is somehow especially noticeable.

Time II, it's coming, D-32! 😎

You should have watch de drum-cam version, their you hear and see yonly the outstanding drums. It's fantastic, to see his technic. Incredible!

Since this video was a long time ago...did you ever watch his drum clinic video where they recorded just him playing this with barely any music , so you just hear the drums, sometimes i listen to it to relax.

Kiitos from FI.

If u haven't already listened to starchild by wintersun u really have to react to it It is really fast song with epic melodies and screaming

The mean face you get when you listen Finnish rock 👑 and yeah in Finland Vikings are reborn to Make The best rock/metal songs 🔥

❤️ A lot of veterans in Finland🇫🇮, too.....

I just hope they got that right with the first take. 🤟🤟

nice explanation im a sucriber

🤘🤩🤘

This is why I call Kai a berserker warrior ^^

Kai does lot of magic that drown in that wall of >260 channels unless you have really good headsets. He explain some of the tricks here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eK19lat5zM3FYWw.html He also did a demo of the song at the extreme drummers universe 2014 where we can se everything he does plus some extra stuff he does for fun. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qsiSa9Bk3LS8kqc.html

This is the shit 😎👌

Where did you get your t-shirt, I wan't one! :D good video too.

This is a good introduction song for you

I'm primarily Nightwish fan but I also discovered Wintersun cause of these reaction videos. They have some epic songs, you definitely need to hear/react to Wintersun - Loneliness (Winter) Official Lyric Video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p6-ZjamhtLfSlGw.html Although Sons of Winter and Stars is fantastic and those riffs are brutally good I must admit Loneliness is my favorite piece of music by Wintersun, it's kind of power ballad but music and words is just epic! What is even more crazy is that Jari (guy that sings and plays guitar and is creative force behind Wintersun) recorded that entire song and that entire album Forest Season by himself, wrote lyrics and played every instrument, how crazy is that :) He is musical genius, maybe not to the level of Tuomas from Nightwish but he is up there as quite the unique character in the world of metal.

🇫🇮

I am new in this Chanel . I am not sure if you have already checked heaven shall burn - ubermatch. If not, you should really check it

I wonder how much weight Kai loses each time he plays...

uBlock Origin for an Ad Blocker.

If you want a definition of epic, try "Wintersun - Time", from the same rehearsal (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/art9qq-pq7Svg2Q.html)

If you need more workout music, the kind that just shoots energy straight into your ears, you should check out Orbit Culture, from Sweden. Open Eye is a good one to start with, I think it has everything you like in it, and then some! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pcqnkq5-xs-WdXU.html

Please react to Wolfheart - The Flood

Not to say I ever was even close to the lvl of Kai but I used to lose 7kg per concert ontopp of drinking 4-5 liters of water.... so yah, put 2-3 of those songs in the setlist and you are dead. ps. just as a fun fact for my first concert I was nervous and we drank a bit.... think I had 3-4 beers before the show, by song 5 I was wasted....... never drank again pre playing

Oh yeah, Kai don’t need no gym membership 🤣🤘

хорошо ни так ли ?

next time when you want to check a drummer search for .....drum cam
