i love that they post individual musician playthroughs because jinjer is such a complex web of sound its hard to keep track of how each person is contributing. they blend so seamlessly. when you see just one of them i appreciate the subtlety even more. theres so many extra little kicks or ghost notes that i didnt notice before - mb i attributed them to bass or guitar instead

Tatiana does kind of steal the show in Pisces! All 4 members of Jinjer are masters at what they do!

What is Jinjer? Jinjer is A guitarist who plays rythm and lead like a boss - Roman A drummer who is a classically trained pianist and a guitar player who picked up the sticks when his last band need a drummer and is self taught on the skins - Vlad A guitarist who took up the reigns as the bassist - Eugene And absolutely last but not least Tatiana. A self taught vocalist that never ceases to impress their fans as much as she does her own band members. Jinjer is a 10+ year plus evolution of a band that has seen 13 different members that has culminated into what I refer to as a supergroup.

I'm amazed by the intricate cymbal hits on several cymbals he's playing while playing a blast beat on the snare and kick...

One thing I didn't notice until recently is that Vlad has an axillary hi-hat in front of his snare, where a rack tom might be. Thought that was really cool

I know next to nothing about *how* to play drums...but listening to Jinjer, and seeing Vlad live earlier this month, it occurred to me that he plays "lead" - since Jinjer doesn't really employ guitar or bass solos, it's as if each member plays lead at all times. Vortex is a great example of what I mean.

@AndrewRooneyDrums

Nice way of putting it Matt!

As a non drummer (maybe yet), Vlad push me into this new perspective, i'm a amatour guitar player that tipe that never paid atention to the beautiness in the percursion layer. Since i become a Jinjer fan, my perspective completly change because Vlad bringme to this reality! And now sir, he catch you, and now, you heave no scape, the jinjer virus catch you to! LOL ... and ... as a nom baterist, i still here with a litle baby seed in my heart ... and your chanel are make she growing up! Congratulations for your material!

I find Vlad to be a fascinating insight into musicianship. I feel like _most_ drummers started off as kids, and while that can certainly have its advantages, it can also come with its own little "bad habits" like always playing in a certain style. To my understanding, Vlad (who is a conservatory-trained pianist) did _not_ drum as a child, or even in college. Rather, afterwards, already as a professional musician, he was in a band whose drummer left, and they needed a new drummer, and he decided to learn to play and fill in. That wasn't really all that long ago... maybe four or five years, I think? In other words, maybe this is what you get when you have someone who's already trained and knowledgeable in all aspects of music-not just theory and the like, but also in how to practice, how to learn, how to make good use of time-and train them in drums from the ground up, with that foundation already built. Food for thought, anyway, maybe?

HAHA!

just watch any of vlad and eugene's drum and bass playthough's, the best rythm section ever!

Not only does he swap freely from right to left hand “dominant”, he swaps his feet as well. The double bass stuff is definitely right foot lead, but there’s moments in the song (the shorter fast tempo almost punk style groove) where he uses strictly the left foot and not his right at all. The kit setup, the freedom of movement, it’s insane. Other may be flashier, faster, but there is not wasted motion and the creativity is out of this world.

Vlad (and Dmitry Kim before him) are a big part of why they never replaced their rhythm guitarist when he left. It seems like they basically split that part of the musical complexity between Roman working harder as lead guitar, Eugene with his 5 string bass and tapping skills, and incredibly sophisticated drumming that really helps to fill out the band's sound. I've seen reactors think Vlad's ghost notes were a shaker haha.

Cool Andrew Jinjer is my Fav band, check out Vlad's "Under the Dome" playthrough next..

Andrew, Vlad is so versatile. I agree as far as he has become my favorite drummer quickly. I discovered them around 2018. I'd like to point out not only does he play open handed and can lead with either but I just noticed the other day when he goes in the blast beats he goes from leading with right foot to leading with left, then switches back. So amazing.

Pretty cool for a guy who isn't a drummer. He is a trained classical/jazz pianist, and also a decent guitarist. I was fortunate enough to get to see them live in Dallas 12/9/21, and it is mind blowing to watch him. The interaction in between him and Eugene (Bass) is incredible! This angle hides some really cool features of his set up. He runs a remote Hi-Hat low,(Like super low, maybe 14" off the riser) left in front of where a HH stand would traditionally be located. They mic it with a directional mic. It's placement allows it to be more isolated from the sound of the rest of the kit. I never fully understood the function of the pedals to it and the kick. He either works 2 pedals on 1 foot at times, or it can somehow be coupled/uncoupled to the L kick pedal. With that, add in the unorthodox heights and angles of the various pieces... The entire group is just next level in their musicianship and live execution.

Vlad is Hulking out with those shorts.
