#drumreaction #nightwish #floorjansen - Hudba
Jukka smashes those drums like they owe him money. It's pretty incredible to watch.
Sure is Michael
I think he's managing the accounting for Nightwish, so you might be onto something there :D
Jukka hits those drums like its a "rented" set! lol
Jukka and Kai are just masters!! The whole band is just astounding!!
Agree Martin. Brilliance
R.I.P Ann Waychoff mother of the Nightwish Army.
June 28th, 2020 .
Ann was a big Nightwish Fan.
And every new person who listened to NW, she went through a little chat.
And gave them some info about NW.
This was her favorite song.
And this song belongs to her.
I like very much that Gabriel have continue Ann s work.... so her heritage is still here.
Yes...I copied my first conversation with Ann. She was so nice, and so very helpful, since I had never heard of Nightwish. ( One of the many fantastic bands that I have discovered !)
Here in the US..everything is all about Pop Music, and their Auto tuned voices, because most of them have no music skills at all! The concerts, if you can call them that, are all about the dancing on stage, and lip syncing the songs.
At 65 years old, I still prefer the music I listened to growing up...Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Nazareth, Steppenwolf, Boston, Foreigner, and many others! But man, Nightwish is freaking amazing!
@@larryd4352 Yes Larry also I have Nightwish in my heart.
Always thinking of her, such a sweet pure heart...
@@larryd4352 wish i had thought to copy my talk with her too for my archives....
Ann was so sweet person. To Ann❤🕯
I think a drum teacher must have a reaction to the 'devil and deep dark ocean' from Buenos Aires 2015 on his playlist.
2018? I am sure they where there 2015 but highly doubt they played devil back then. 😉
@@Honken55 you are right, i reached an age that a few years do not matter, and forgetting things
in this band there are no egos, everything for the music, real professionals. Nightwish collaborates with London symphonic orchestra and choir. Tuomas (piano) is the brain (both music and lyrics).Jukka was later replaced by Kai, due to health problems, but he is still close, but in the background.🤟🏻🤟🏻🎶🎶
London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Toumas don't allow egos or input from the other hired guns in the band.
@@NPK476 No egos but once he presents the songs to the band, they have input from there and it's encouraged. Love that everybody in the band works so hard in service to the music and fans and nobody showboats.
It’s always a pleasure to see Jukka on stage. He plays with such passion and infectious energy.
YES!
Scandinavian band means "J" has a "Y" sound. 👍🏽😁 So it's, Yoo'-kah.
So wish his health allowed him to keep playing. Dude is a monster on the kit! 🔥🤘🏽
Kai Hahto is not so bad either.
Good to have you back with NW! and there was 82k people at that concert! Former drummer thanks for your react!!
Very well done reaction Andrew. Jukka was a fantastic drummer but suffers from severe insomnia. He recommended that Nightwish bring on the drummer who he had studied under, Kai Hahto from Wintersun, as his replacement. Although not as showy as Jukka, Kai is the human metronome. Loved this whole Wacken (Vack-en) 2013 concert. By the way, Nightwish is killing their current world tour. My wife and I saw them live in San Francisco on May 18th. Their full sunset concert video from Hellfest 2022 has been viewed more than 2.5 million times in 3 months. And a couple of weeks later, their concert at the Deichbrand 2022 concert was even better quality. The fully remastered video (60FPS) and High Bit Rate Audio is beautiful to behold. Should you wish to check it (starting with the Kai Hahto drum solo intro), here are the links to the full setlist:

Wow! Thanks for the info Richard. Amazing
For any drummer (like myself) you should watch Kai Hahto’s drumcam from a drum clinic playing Son’s of winter and stars. It’s a song from his previous band Wintersun. By the way Jari Mäenpää from Wintersun is also a genius song writer. Here’s a link to the drumcam: m.czcams.com/video/tbb8m3wNXbs/video.html
This is Nightwish's great strength-a real team of musicians-no needless 'widdly-widdly', everyone together to give ~Tuomas's music their best.
For Ann . R.I.P dear we miss you 🤘❤️🤘
You’re going to love exploring everything these super talented musicians create!
Enjoy!
Can't wait Donna!
This is my favorite Nightwish song. All matches here: beautiful lyrics, melody, singing...both Marko and Floor. And man I love Jukka's drumming and his style. Not the current Nightwish drummer because of his imsomnia at that time. But I never forget Jukka 😥❤🤘
This whole concert is gold!
I bet
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Even better: Nightwish always is pure gold!
Oh my , I think you better check out some more , this band has awesome musicians and are very tight , sound great and fantastic vocals 🤘🏼💥🤘🏼
"awesome musicians and are very tight , sound great and fantastic vocals"... and all that is harnessed to tell amazing stories for the people who wants to hear stories... 👌
We’ll done! I enjoyed the humor inserted with your edits. Also a drummer here. Keep going with Nightwish. Both Jukka and Kai are amazing!
Wacken is a small village in the very north of Germany and there is the worlds greatest heavy Metal Festival with >80' Fans woldwide...
3:13 Wacken Open Air is one of the biggest heavy metal festivals in the world (limited to around 80000 tickets due to organisational/logistical reasons). It's located in Northern Germany.
I've seen 84.000 mentioned in other reactions to this concert.
85.000 metalheads gather every year in Wacken (Germany), from all over Europe (100.000 now) WE ARE THE NIGHTWISH ARMY :) and proud of them. Yukka was an awesome unique drummer, but suffered from insomnia and migraine (can you imagine drumming with migraine? He did it) He couldn't do it anymore with pain in his heart and introduced his good friend, Kay from Winter Son. Kay is also called the human metronome..a killer drummer. I saw them live many times and this is exactly how they sound. No mixing. They never screw up, all the tones are correct and their energy is amazing. They are a tight team without ego's. The guitarist Emppu does not have to shred all songs, many song don't even have a solo, the bassplayer does exactly what the song needs....they all do. No one stand out and together they are brilliant and insanely good. That's true muscisianship.
I really have almost run out of adjectives. What a performance, they all look so relaxed. Comfortable in their own skin. And I've never seen a hint of ego with NW. They are all working so very hard but you would never guess.
Makes me think of the Kate Bush band circa 1979. Not because of the obvious but because every show was a huge theatrical experience. Performed by virtuoso musicians, who were normal everyday mortals.
Ok, I probably managed a few adjectives after all !
✌️❤️Peace and love as always ✌️ ❤️
Yes Marko the (then) bass player can sing, and oh boy can he ever sing! Get him and Floor together and you have a match made in heaven. ❤️
Insane vocal ability
Indeed, and Marco has a band called Northern King with 4 lead singers, so if you want to see him singer more and plus another 3 amazing vocalists, check Northern Kings out! (=
Jukka doesn't over-play, he just plays what the songs needs
Only found them a year ago, but say them in May. Greatest show I have ever seen in my life! The musicianship and vocals are unrivaled. So tight, and amazing arranging and composition. You nailed it too - they are a team, and they are all only putting in what the song needs and no more, but there are many subtleties layered all over in there.
The same here. Hard to believe that I had not heard of Nightwish or Floor until around a year ago. Now making up for lost time 👍😊🙏
There is not enough like buttons, pure gold with the humorous .. err ..prelude
You must watch nightwish romanticide wacken 2013
Nightwish Army South Africa ❤
Excellent reaction.
R.I.P Ann Waychoff mother of the Nightwish Army. June 28th, 2020
This is your song.
If you ever have to explain the Groove in Metal to someone - play this tune.
Until the Breakdown hits you with a 10 ton hammer it is all fun and games.
But then the slow chugging monster with the machine gun riffing takes over.
And for every Metal Head this lights up the day.
Awesome….Imho one of the best songs ever.
Sometimes the sky is piano black….
Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries and Stonehenge, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !
I loved your video. First the memes and the funny editing is brilliant 😂😂😂😂 Second, thank you for giving Jukka some recognition. Even now that he doesn’t play with the band anymore I love when people recognize his amazing talent. He is a mood, he plays the drums with all his body and is so entertaining to listen/watch. From this same concert I would love to react to “Romanticide”, “She's my sin” and “Dark chest of wonders” although the whole concert is amazing, they were on fire that day🔥
Nightwish as a band is the composers instrument. Toumas who writes this stuff is basically playing them. They are the perfect instruments for his vision. To me that is what you are hearing. Complete humans working as prosthetics for a genius mind.
LOVE IT
"And There, Forever Remains That Change From G To E minor..."
Marco Hietala,the bassist left the Band 2021.He's also a singer by the "Northern Kings".When you want to hear him singing high,listen the song "The phantom of the opera" from Nightwish.
Greetings from Germany
I'd classify "Northern Kings" as more of a temporary super-group, but Marko is also the lead vocal/bass/acoustic guitar in the band "Tarot" which he and his brother founded back in 1982, Nightwish was founded 1996! It's never made big waves outside Finland but it's well respected and the competition over there is fierce, Finland has the most Metal bands per capital of any country (Germany has more in total due to way bigger population). He's also one of the main "characters" in Ayreon's "The Theory of Everything" album.
The Range Planet and other sources lists his Pantom performance as containing a confirmed G#5.
Incredible
Great reaction. Please do more NW
As a drummer you HAVE to react to Weak Fantasy live from Tampere. Kai showing real technical skills.
I agree
I'll get there Martin!
I concur!
I concur, also Romanticide from Wacken 2013 is something in terms of drums but I would love to see you react to much more Nightwish because I love to see the other perspective of you as a drummer
The "correct speed" refers to not using the audio from the official BluRay release which has 4% slowdown in the audio without resampling (and hence A is no longer 440 Hz). When that BluRay was released the spec didn't yet support 25 fps video that the original concert was shot with. The Nightwish video in this video looks a bit jittery, too, because this video is 30 fps which obviously cannot playback 24 nor 25 fps video correctly.
The Ghost Love Score from this concert is incredible, the mix of the orchestra and choral played by Tuomas on the keys and Jukka on the drums is stunning, along with Floor on vocals.
I've always loved the drumming on their 'Ghost Love Score', from the same concert (Wacken 2013), especially at the end. :o)
Thanks Baz. I'll get to it!
As alway’s Ann 🧚♀️💖
If you want to hear an incredible vocal performance by the bassist Marko, you’ve GOT TO check out their cover of High Hopes by Pink Floyd. It’s glorious.
Their tribute to Pink Floyd is so great, even David Gilmour is a fan! It's live from End Of An Era 2005...a.very intense concert bc the band fired their original female lead singer after the show. Marko delivers a powerful and haunting vocal backed by superb musicianship!
Marko is a way better vocalist than Gilmour and it really shows in this song. You can hear the pain of things to come throughout the song (firing the lead singer). But as good Marko is, the real star for me in this song is Emppu, he is phenomenal.
@@littleraven28 oh totally! His guitar work is masterful! Looking at the concert as a whole...the entire band poured their souls out into each song. We're so lucky to have it on video...a major part of Nightwish history.
I concur. They did the impossible and kicked the original by Pink Floyd out of the park!!
@@marcelolthof7777 If you concur, Marcel...you are my people! And I agree!
I don't usually comment before watching the video, but I need to say I loved the monty python intro
Wow this is crazy. I was looking at more Nightwish songs to request before I saw this. You're on a fantastic run for me personally and I love your content! Jukka has been one of my absolute drummer heroes since I was 12, even before picking up the sticks.
Awesome. Thank you!!
The cover of Over the Hills and Far Away (old) was fun but I'm a sucker for 6/8 time
Every song during this concert is a masterpiece. Jukka is a master and so precise, so good! Floors vocals shine, especially her vocal stabs..
The second part, the poetry, is on the original studio album and has been spliced onto this live performance for a video. This concert has 15 songs with the singer Floor Jansen only with them for ten months and absolutely nailing it. Jukka ( yukka) retired at the end of this tour due to his severe insomnia. Kai took over as already a drum tutor, drum tech and playing in Wintersun.
Yes. The extra part is weird poetry which I'm quite happy to not hear again.
@@RossNixon actually is Great poetry and is done by Tuomas in the style of the long poem with the same title as the song which in a way inspired the song
Drumming masterclass - Kai's drumming on 'Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean' from Nightwish Decades Live in Buenos Aires. Amazing!!!
Thanks Andy!
Kai is a machine in that song
If you liked this check out Ghost Love Score from the same concert. Mindblowing
I sat by those drums at Kitee’s Nightwish Story in summer 2021. Unreal feeling.
This whole concert is magical! Jukka, my favorite drummer ever! Check out “Ghost Love Score”, same concert.
Thanks Andrew for the reaction. You are one of the few musicians that i watch regularly on YT and appreciate your feedback. Keep up the great work. Growing up a fan of Neil Peart and RUSH, i have always been a little biased, but both Jukka and Kai are killer drummers. Nightwish Army from Frisco, TX, USA, checking in...
Thanks for the kind words!
Very cool to have your son doing the opening for you! Wacken is in Germany and the W is pronounced more like a V sound,,,,so more like Vaacken! Surprised you haven't done more NIghtwish as their list of quality songs to react to is very long, and quite varied! Cheers for the video, and the journey!!
Yes Allen. He's on the 100k countdown! LOL
Been a fan of Nightwish since I was a teen back in 2003. Their album "Once" blew my mind. Jukka has always been one of my favorite drummers in metal. Kai is also amazing but Jukka brings a certain intensity that even shines through on their studio albums. So good to see them getting such high praise over the internet 🙌
If you were impressed with Marco's vocals, listen to Northern King is a super band also from Finland, with 4 amazing singers and they created Symphonic Power Metal interpretations to classic 80's songs, it's simply breath taking! Marco is one of the singers, there is also, Tony Kakko from Sonata Arctica, Jarko Ahola from Terasbetoni and Juha Pekka Leppaluoto from Charon.
Jukka often reminds me in a special way of Scott Rockenfeld of Queensryche. Just like Scott, he has his very personal, yet subtle approach to everything, with great finesse, always interesting coloring. And he also lives intensely through every moment of every song.
Just so you know Marco can go even higher if needed, but there are no egos in this band, their main objective is to make beautiful songs. And Floor could of taken this song for herself but wants song to be an collab between every band member
Nightwish Army south Brittany France reporting.
And there forever remains that change from G to Em
RIP Ann
Favorite song of the late Ann Waychoff, Mother of the Nightwish Army.
Wacken (Vah-ken) is in Germany. A metal festival is held there every year in August. Nightwish headlined here in 2013 in front of about 82k fans. Floor had only been with the band about 10 months at this point, having taken over mid tour. This was song #14 in a 15 song set.
Jukka was more of a showman, Kai more of a technician, but both are awesome.
Inspired by the 52 chapter 19th century poem of the same name by Walt Whitman. The studio version has a spoken poem section at the end, written by Tuomas(keyboard and primary songwriter and composer) in an ode to the original. The words to which are on the screen behind the band. The rest of the video you watched is a fan added part that has the poem section from the album.
Yes, former bassist Marko Hietala can sing too, and get up there. He and Floor do sound great together. He sang backing or co-lead on a lot of songs, and lead on a few.
Nightwish army Indonesia🇮🇩
My favourite song to watch Jukka from this concert is “Storytime!” He’s always physically involved with his drumming but in that song he levels up.
A comment I hear from many reactors is how all the musicians in Nightwish play in such a way that the serve the song, or music. A really great comment.
"the bassist can sing that high?" 😂😂
that's Marco dude.. 😎
Dayuuum
Wacken is a municipality near the town of Itzehoe in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Wacken was first mentioned in 1148, but there were probably some settlements before, which is proven by the trove of Germanic artefacts.
Thanks for the info Lester!
if you want to hear Marko's range - listen to their live performance of Phantom of the Opera (End of Era concert, 2005) with their first vocalist
Yeah, its insane! He almost reaches the same rights as their soprano at the end! He's incredible.
Yes
I concur
czcams.com/video/tL25rbnvM4o/video.html
@@trinadawn4166 yes, indeed
More nightwish please that was a super reaction thankyou.
More on the way!
He was playing like that while suffering with severe insomnia (the reason he eventually decided to leave)
Oh that sounds horrible Matt.
PLEASE DO MORE NIGHTWISH! you can not pic any wrong song they played live and both drummers are amazing, greets from a Nightwish army member from west Germany 🤘 ps : subscribed and wait for more to come 🫶
Hi Andrew, Nightwish Army here, German Division. Greets from Hamburg. Wacken is a small village in the northern Germany. But there is every Year the greatest Heavy Metal Concerts world wide. I was there 2013 and see Nightwish with other 82thousands fans live. It was the best Concert I've ever been to.
My favorite one from this gig, always happy to share it with someone new !
Thanks!!!
Loved the analysis. Personally I always kind of preferred Jukka's style to Kai's. More similar to Larkin of Godsmack. Interesting choice of song for Jukka however --- many would say his performance in the classic "Ghost Love Score" at Wacken (same concert) was even more dramatic (especially the last 30 seconds or so of the song). I hope you have a chance to get to it some day!
Yup will def do more on them!
If you want to see "the bassist" sing even higher try nightwish's cover of phantom of the opera. Marko was lead vocalist in band Tarot and 2years ago won masked singer in Finland
OMG!
While there are some drumcams by Kai around, there is nothing to be found from Jukka, but fans have made this tribute to Jukka:
czcams.com/video/gXYAmIgQnak/video.html
Nice one!
Keep your eyes out for tickets, Andrew. Aus/NZ are the only places not yet included in their current world tour. Fingers crossed we don’t get skipped.
That'd be something!
We got bumped Kai says not this tour and the Asian tickets have just gone on sale lots of disappointed Aussies
@@glendawatson331 bugger! Oh well, the way money is getting stretched at the moment it’s probably just a disappointing thing and life will go on, and not a first world bad thing. Doh still.
Its mind boggling how their timing is just perfect for the entirety of a concert. Sure, In-Ears with ticker. But that's easy to learn and very hard to Master
I really enjoyed your reaction. Almost every video that will be recommended to you will be to a live link. I've never had the opportunity to attend a concert, but they've been described as transcendent. Everyone in the group works hard to make each song the best it can be as a group effort (band members and crew). There's no showboating involved. And you can tell that they love each other, the fans, and what they do. Jukka and Kai are very different drummers, but each is a master of his style.
I enjoyed the reactions you did to Kai in Nightwish and Wintersun but didn't subscribe then because I found them recently and you never got back to Nightwish. I'm subscribing today based on this reaction and hope to see more of both Jukka and Kai.
Side note, this is Wacken, Germany, apparently the world's largest open air music festival, that night to 82,000 excited audience!
Their newest drummer is probably the best technical drummer of the world in my opinion 🤘🏻
Wacken is a tiny little town in Germany that's noteworthy for one reason only, the Yearly Wacken Rock Festival. the population of Wacken is about 1.800, about 80.000 rockers visit the Wacken Festival.
Not really my cup of tea but I can really appreciate the musicianship. Amazing performance.
Awesome Don. Nice to try something new whether you like it or not I think eh!?
@@AndrewRooneyDrums
Right On män! 🤩👌💥💯
If you're staying on at everything what's "familiar" and "comfortable" for you on the route of your life this all might get boring.
Whether it's listening those few bands/artists in music, "stick on"* music out of all arts, eating the same sort of food day by day all the way through on your earthly journey, etc.
Getting to know the unknown could be quite liberating despite the unknown could be intimidating.
Such a cool reaction to one heck of an awesomeness of their tasty repertoire and Keep on rockin with this magical band!!! 😈👍
Congrats in advance for the 100k subscribers !!!!
Been watching loads of your reactions and it's always entertaining and kinda amuzing (in a charming way) when Andy gets excited.
Cheers from Finland, the Mother Land of Nightwish 🤟😎 🇫🇮 💙 🎼
I see nightwish, never clicked so fast.. I'm so proud being a Dutchy only because floor
The synchronicity between Floor’s voice and Jukka’s drums………
Such a great song. Please do more Nightwish. They have had 2 excellent drummers; Jukka from the beginning until 2013, then Kai Hahto. Check out Storytime next perhaps; there is a cool, complicated section in the middle that Jukka created & Kai said he worked hard to duplicate.
Another band you should check out is Unleash The Archers - their song Awakening is great and drummer is fast!
Thank you " Andrew Rooney Drums" from Germany! Night wish is one the best live-bands ever. And Floor Jansen is a great singer all time! Wacken Open Air= W:O:A with 82.000 Metalfans 2013 and 2022 sold out. Wacken is near Hamburg/Germany.
Sadly Jukka had to stop in 2014 as a drummer with the band because he suffers from insomnia for years, but .... he's still with the band behind the screens. Jukka found a very good replace,ent for the band in his friend Kai \Hahto, who also plays in the band Wintersun (watch *_"Sons of Winter and Stars"_* (live rehearsels at Sonic Pump Studios: czcams.com/video/Tl5T-glTdXw/video.html&ab_channel=WintersunJari )

You said it right , these are very professional musicians making mature decisions on stage. Nightwish is as good as it gets. I am a fan for ten years now and its been one hell of a ride...a journey for sure. Good video, enjoyed your take on things.
Hello Andrew from Auckland! Great reaction again to Nightwish! They are indeed world class, and play for the music not for ego. Their music is all original, and composed by Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards). He is a genius composer, and poet of our time - he doesn't write songs, he creates art. Nightwish' music is an experience, that once had, you will never forget.
They are all invidually gifted musicians, (and humble), who have worked very hard to reach that stratospheric level your senses now get the sublime pleasure of experiencing. No two songs are the same, and they all tell a story. Take a leap into the pool of Nightwish' masterful music, you'll be glad you did. Looking forward to more reactions :)
This isn't a garage band..pure professionals that love the music. My favorite band, and one of my favorite songs..
Nightwish has made so much good music and this track is one of my favorites 🙂
Man I miss Jukka on drums. He is absolutely one of the best in the world IMO. Just phenomenal, I'm so glad I got to see him live before he left the band. Kai is great but there is something magical about Jukka's drumming especially in this show.
Jukka never played music. Jukka always was the music. He always gave everything, in each performance.
You can hear and see that!!
I love watching Jukka
Andrew & & NW Fans...all must have heard by now that that Floor was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Prognosis is good, she goes in for surgery tomorrow.
Those of us attending shows on the European tour, let's all wear pink to show Floor our love and support.
.
OMG!
That's awful news. Glad the supporters are showing their support!
This is one of my all time favorite NIghtwish songs. This whole concert is the same quality, it's probably one of the best concerts ever recorded. They were headlining this festival and the 82.000+ people who were there were certainly lucky to be there. Floor (the singer) had just joined the band 10 months prior and most of Europe had not seen her perform with the band live. They absolutely killed it. In fact they kill all their live performances, if you ask me they are always better live than in the studio. Jukka is one of a kind, but they all are and that includes Kai. For more Marko vocals listen to their tribute of HIgh Hopes. Enjoy your journey into the catalogue, they have a lot of all different, but all great music, all killer - no filler. 🤘
Understanding you're a drum guy...Jukka (pron: Yoo-kah) is a very physical drummer, so fun to watch!
Andrew, what you missed was a multi-voiced spoken word poem inspired by Walt Whitman. The reason this is an extended version to include that, is that the late Mother of The Nightwish Army, Ann W....this was her favorite song. There is a dedication to her with the poem. Whenever this song is reacted to, we all pay her alittle respect, in our own ways, and in the comments.
With NIGHTWISH you only get fenomenale performances! Looking forward to more reactions😀
First time finding you via nightwish, obviously had to sub on my name alone, let alone nightwish being amazing :)
😮🤯
Brother… ?
Jukka loves to hit those drums like they owe him money😁
Yeaaahhh, one of my favorites 🤘🏻🍀
The saying goes that Nightwish folks leave their egos at the door.
Everyone does exactly what the story being told requires of them.
song of myself +reaction = doble ration of !
keep the good job 🥰
So epic !!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 congrats Andrew… you made it
There is finally a drum cam of the Nightwish song Tribal. You should check it out, it's awesome.
