nothing is more beautiful than watching someone be so passionate about something. music seems to evoke this most from people. and you can read the passion in this kid with every movement. i love this shit.
You're an amazing branch of the human gene pool Luke. I hope that you never tire of this, and that you keep a positive mental attitude. I'll be watching you... on youtube.
Drums are really perfect for him. I've only watched two of his videos and I can see that he can't keep still when he's playing. That's why when there's a pause, he would keep adjusting his sitting position. Also those tricks he does are fascinating. I can't keep my eyes off his hands. I'm actually writing this comment after I watched the video. Shows how much my eyes are fixed to his hands.
Watched this video uncountable times, but listened to it for the first time using good headphones. Man the amount of detail I missed before... This video went from amazing to mind boggling
What I appreciate most about this cover is that EVERYTHING is on time. He's right on beat. Non drummers probably don't realize how hard it is to keep beat with both hands and feet.
This drummer has earned my respect instantly from this video, as another drummer and artist i still find this very inspirational. To take a relatively simple song and put your own spin on it. Amazing.
I love what you do to Ellie Goulding's songs. Although I like her voice, I don't really listen to her stuff because it always seems too cutesy and soft for my taste. But you add an edge, power and kick to it that makes me want to cry happy tears. I could listen to this and your Bittersweet remix all day long. (Actually, *all* the remixes.) Keep up the good work and- okay, I'm going to stop pretending I'm a serious person here. YOU'RE FUCKING AMAZING. KUDOS.
I've been playing drums since I was 10 years old. But I ALWAYS loved drums since I was a little baby. And I watch your videos at least for one hour everyday and always picture my self as amazing as you are! You're my role model for drums and hopefully one day I can be as good as you are Luke. You are so amazing. I showed my parents your videos and they think the same!
I keep coming back to watch this video because it it so outstanding. The amount of effort and skill you put into this is just incredible. Everything you wrote fits perfectly in this song. And these linear patterns are tough to play at this speed. Then the crazy stick tricks on top of everything - haters will hate the stick tricks but they would do the same if they could. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. And for free to boot.
I don't even know why I love this video so much but my brother showed me one of your videos once a while back and I just can't stop watching. Your technique is incredible.
life is short so its great that you do have a sense of humor and you enjoy what you do and u do it well thanks for your videos they're great inspiration
Holy Crap. Your such an inspiration to me. How the heck are you so good? Just the way you play has so much emotion. Its drummers like you that make me better by just watching you. Amazing.
I saw Ellie Goulding live not so long ago and saw her drum her parts in this song and heard her drummer playing his parts, but in all honesty, I feel like this is much better. It sounds more complete than her playing it live. You never fail to go above and beyond the original work of the artists themselves by putting your own twist on it. Keep it up, dude!
this cover is freaking me out..is just amazing what you do with your sticks and how you play drums.you are one of my favorite drummers in the world.peace and love romania :)
The way u interpret these songs and just make them sounds completely your own is just something of another kind , keep it up man , you inspire me to get back on the kit every time i watch one of your videos :D
Luke, in general i'm impressed with your willingness to correspond with your fans. It seems every video of yours I watch, you personally respond. Well done.
you have some fans in Québec !! Don't stop play and covering song like this !! It's Luke Holland 's attitude xD !!! Don't stop Rock On man !!! You rules btw !!!! Best regard from Québec !!
I appreciate the breakdown, I'm not a drum set player by trade, I deal with marching percussion mostly. I was just trying to convey the use of moeller for one handed rolls and how that was not a one handed roll. I can safely say that rudiments are not lost on me since that is the basis of my playing. I really enjoy watching musicians that use linear drumming because it's some of what we play tossed around different drums.
this is my favorite drum video of yours. i love your drumming especially the remixes. i saw TWA live before you joined. cant wait to see you live man. when TWA returns to KC ill be first in line. ps marry ellie goulding. your babies would be magnificently talented. and good looking.
this guy just inspired me to fix up my old drum kit!!!
Remember when people were saying he was “too swaggy?” Now he does this for a living.
Well done Luke! You’ve smashed it!
This is definitely my favorite cover that you've done.
I came back after 8 years to this video, Luke you are a legend man!!
I spit out my coffee at 1:14 - that's a new one, really cool
nothing is more beautiful than watching someone be so passionate about something. music seems to evoke this most from people. and you can read the passion in this kid with every movement. i love this shit.
Stick juggling! That was frickin' amazing! :D
You're an amazing branch of the human gene pool Luke. I hope that you never tire of this, and that you keep a positive mental attitude. I'll be watching you... on youtube.
RUclips sucks, it only let me like it once. They need to have a button "I like the shit outta this!" CUZ DAMN ! Speechless ! Keep up the great work!
I just love some of his fills they sound almost drum-line esque and technical which just adds to each song.
1:13 dat backhand toss doe
just realized that, 4th time watching the video
what a legend
Drums are really perfect for him. I've only watched two of his videos and I can see that he can't keep still when he's playing.

1:21 will ALWAYS make me laugh XD
+Brandon Chambers why?
Jamie White Because it is funny :)
its just him smiling though.... il smile for you if it gets you laughing :)
Jamie White yea, don't do that :)
worth a shot i guess
I love how your drumming brings out something from this pattern that is more body helpful than the original which focuses on the singer mainly
So i just listened to the original and it's missing soooooo much. This completes it, seriously.
Been watching Luke since he was 16... it's crazy how far he's gotten. True inspiration to me, and many others as well, I'm sure.
Bad ass bro enough said..
you got yourself a subsciber.
Watched this video uncountable times, but listened to it for the first time using good headphones. Man the amount of detail I missed before... This video went from amazing to mind boggling
That Was SICKKK 1:13
What I appreciate most about this cover is that EVERYTHING is on time. He's right on beat. Non drummers probably don't realize how hard it is to keep beat with both hands and feet.
I wish he would redo this cover will a deeper and more full sounding snare.. would make a world of difference
This drummer has earned my respect instantly from this video, as another drummer and artist i still find this very inspirational. To take a relatively simple song and put your own spin on it. Amazing.
YOU ARE MY FAVOURITE HUMAN,LUKE
never fails to make a drummer happy by watching this
I love what you do to Ellie Goulding's songs.
Although I like her voice, I don't really listen to her stuff because it always seems too cutesy and soft for my taste. But you add an edge, power and kick to it that makes me want to cry happy tears. I could listen to this and your Bittersweet remix all day long. (Actually, *all* the remixes.)
Keep up the good work and- okay, I'm going to stop pretending I'm a serious person here. YOU'RE FUCKING AMAZING. KUDOS.
I'm mainly a prog/deathcore kind of guy but this video introduced me to Ellie's music. Some of it is just fantastic.
DAMN
I've been playing drums since I was 10 years old. But I ALWAYS loved drums since I was a little baby. And I watch your videos at least for one hour everyday and always picture my self as amazing as you are! You're my role model for drums and hopefully one day I can be as good as you are Luke. You are so amazing. I showed my parents your videos and they think the same!
Still my favorite remix
Ublaga I mean, the cinematography, the lights, the sound, and those freaking fills, this was the perfection of a drum remix
I waited nearly 8 min for this to buffer and even though I have seen this countless times if was totally worth it! It will always be worth it!!!!!
Burn _ Ellie Goulding Please!!!!!!
Best drummer ever. He hasn't even become as great as he is capable of becoming.
constantly watches 1:22 over and over
I keep coming back to watch this video because it it so outstanding. The amount of effort and skill you put into this is just incredible. Everything you wrote fits perfectly in this song.

1:48.
seriously, this is one of my favorite covers
WTF 1:14 LOL
those ghost notes... too epic, plus those stick tricks are solid, dayum
that smile... oh my days!
Everytime i hear this song without the drum cover i always tap my fingers to the drums that aren't there! Thanks Mr. Holland!
*slurps on the screen*
I don't even know why I love this video so much but my brother showed me one of your videos once a while back and I just can't stop watching. Your technique is incredible.
that sticktrick you do at 1:14 is the most badass thing i've ever seen.
pure badassnes.
I love covers like this where the song just makes you happy and smile instead of when you're screamed at
Favorite video by FAR!!!!! Absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!!! He has grown so much....

Luke Holland, The Obi Wan Kenobi of the drums.........RESPECT!
Holy Crap. Your such an inspiration to me. How the heck are you so good? Just the way you play has so much emotion. Its drummers like you that make me better by just watching you. Amazing.
I am in love with all your stick tricks. I had a huge smile on my face when you did them. Your awesome!!!
This is probably one of my favourite covers you've done Luke. Minimalistic and tight as hell. Perfect drums to compliment the song. Well done!
Immense control, with that beat at 2.18. Incredible stuff, dude.
Epic!!! Wow you have an extreme talent! I'm completely amazed right now!
Love this cover, also love the stick tricks
I saw Ellie Goulding live not so long ago and saw her drum her parts in this song and heard her drummer playing his parts, but in all honesty, I feel like this is much better. It sounds more complete than her playing it live. You never fail to go above and beyond the original work of the artists themselves by putting your own twist on it. Keep it up, dude!

I love how you inspire people from any music genre to play the drums, you show them it's not genrebound with videos like these !! keep it up ! ;)
"i need you more than i can take" damn those words have meaning to me right now.
