Timeline
Jaska Raatikainen (born 18 July 1979) is a Finnish musician, he is best known as the former drummer and co-founder of the melodic death metal band Children of Bodom from 1993 until his departure in 2019.
He is currently in the project called Mercury Circle.
His first instrument was the piano, and during most of his childhood also played the French horn in a big band – a fact which later led him to be introduced to Alexander Kuoppala.
It was only at the age of 12 that he began playing drums; he had his first double bass pedals before he owned a drum kit.
When Raatikainen met Alexi Laiho at school in the year of 1993, they realised that they had similar ideas and musical taste.
Thus, they began playing together and idealizing their band Inearthed which would one day become Children of Bodom.
The band released their first demo, Ubiquitous Absence of Remission, which he contributed some keyboards.
Jaska also provided backing vocals on the songs "Warheart", "Black Widow", and "Children of Bodom" from his band's album, Hatebreeder.
He has also helped quite a few bands when they needed a competent drummer.
During Sinergy's 2000 European tour, he replaced Tommi Lillman, who had injured his leg.
The problem, however, was that this happened three days before the start of the tour, which meant that Raatikainen had to quickly learn how to play ten of Sinergy's songs.
Despite the high degree of difficulty, he managed to perform very well, and fans of both bands enjoyed seeing both Raatikainen and Laiho on stage together with Sinergy.
On the Suicide by My Side album's booklet, the band wrote a dedicatory to Raatikainen for, on to their own words, "saving [their] tour".
Raatikainen has also played in Virtuocity and Evemaster albums, but since those are both studio bands, he does not have to worry greatly about Children of Bodom's tour schedule, which already has to be calculated ahead to some extent, due to Laiho's previously active participation in Sinergy.

On the 2002 tribute to Chuck Schuldiner – mastermind of one of the most notable death metal bands of all time, Death – Raatikainen, who is a fan of the band, played a couple of cover songs with Norther.
A year later, Raatikainen formed a side project with Norther's guitarist Kristian Ranta entitled Gashouse Garden, which has not yet been signed to any recording label.
Up to the recording of the album Hatebreeder, Raatikainen was endorsed by Sonor drums and by Sabian cymbals.
He eventually lost the deal with Sonor and for some time played with different drumsets, until settling with Pearl drums in 2003.
His drumsticks are custom Millennium II sticks from Promark with his name engraved on them.
