“I started crying when I heard Nicko McBrain was going to retire from Iron Maiden” – interview with Kai Hahto

Kai Hahto – the virtuoso drummer and the man behind the drum kit of Nightwish and Wintersun brings his Alone concerts to Europe by playing 10 shows starting from the end of March from London and ending in April in Hamburg.

True to the show’s name, Kaitsu and his drumming take center stage – solo. This unique performance includes songs from the catalogs of Nightwish, Wintersun, Swallow the Sun, and Auri, among others, with some surprises in store – all from Kaitsu’s masterful drummer’s perspective. Kaitsu shares the following about his Alone concerts:

“Alone is a tribute to my drumming journey, and at the upcoming shows audiences will hear music from throughout my long career, including tracks from the newest albums of both Nightwish and Wintersun.”

Chaoszine sat down earlier this week with Hahto at his rehearsal space in Vaasa, Finland where we discussed the upcoming Alone solo concerts, Auri’s upcoming album, and also Iron Maiden’s Nicko McBrain’s decision to hang up his drumsticks. You can watch the complete video interview here:
