Fugazi Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Kai was giving a drum clinic at this Drummers' Association of Finland meeting. It's all in Suomi but you can hear him play How's The Heart (44:50), Harvest (58:00), Noise (1:19:40) and Tribal (1:52:35). It's awesome watching him work the drums!

While we're at it, there's a fantastic series of drumcam videos of Kai during EMFB-era Nightwish shows... Worth a look for the weird perspective and to get a better feel of the exhausting solitary work of a metal drummer during a live show.

Quote Jukka's performance was also caught on camera but I doubt it will be ever released. For many reason but one big reason being he is playing with Kai's kit which is different brand than Jukka has as an endorsement. Kai is a Pearl artist while Jukka uses Tama drums.

Fugazi Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 A new drumcam video, this one is from Knotfest 2022-08-12, and it's a great choice of song: Tribal. 🤘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted October 2, 2023 Author Share Posted October 2, 2023 Kai will do a solo show in Helsinki next year, around the time I presume the next NW album will be released. ALONE - An evening with Kai Hahto "Witness his mesmerizing drumming skills at Apollo in Helsinki on Feb 3, 2024. "Alone" brings you unique renditions from Nightwish, Wintersun, Swallow the Sun, and more. How? All by himself, Alone! Don't miss out!" Kai is excited about the new project: "Alone is a tribute to my drum journey. Since the 90's I have toured and recorded with different bands, for example Cartilage, Wings, Misantropia, Rotten Sound, Vomiturition, Enochian Crescent, Aggressor, Max on the Rox, Swallow the Sun, Wintersun, Trees of Eternity, Auri and of course the last 9 years with Nightwish so now it's time to stop for a moment and look at everything that has been done in the last 30 years. Thousands of gigs and around 40 studio albums later, it's time to celebrate this journey, the music and my own 50th anniversary." https://allthingslive.fi/event/alone-an-evening-with-kai-hahto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moondance Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Hopefully Wintersun will go touring again! It'd be nice to see Kai performing again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Well, I don't know about Wintersun but both Kai and Johanna seem to be quite confident about an Auri tour in 2025, so there's that. Slower tempi expected! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
