Is it weird that i can't even listen to the original anymore after listening to this? Honestly the way you played fit the song so perfectly I feel like it should've been on the album!
Matt Chase I cant listen to anything but his cover of the songs like for Ain't it Fun, Where are you now, or Bittersweet. It's amazing with the drums. I'm in love. I want this on Itunes.
Don't get me wrong, Luke is a GREAT metal drummer, but I think covers like this are his best work. He's good in a metal band, but I think if he was a drummer for a pop/punk, pop, or alternative band, he'd be the best ever. If he was in a Blink-182 type band, we'd be saying, "Travis who?" Call me crazy, say it's below his talent level if you want, but I think his natural ability to write and play these grooves and set the rhythm with more than just blast beats and paradiddles that get hidden behind overpowering guitars and vocals is just superior to anything he'll ever do where he's at.
I would agree. But I feel Luke isn't in a metal band that would make use of his skill. If he were in a band like TesseracT or Periphery or some type of progressive band his skill would be more shown off. Where as his stuff in The Word Alive isn't bad. It just seems like He is Downplaying so he doesn't out shine the group. Honestly He is an amazing Drummer period. And if he enjoys Playing with TWA and writing with them who are we to say anything. Though i feel if he joined a type of band that you suggested people wouldn't appreciate it.
Couldn't agree more. I always said TWA isn't where he belongs, although their music is great. Luke is such a versatile drummer, and that's an understatement. The metal/hardcore genre doesn't show people what Luke is capable of.
I saw this when it first came out and it’s still one of my favorite drum covers of all time to come back to. So clean and the sound...freakin good work
Mr. Holland, you are developing into one of the best drummers of our time/ generation. Your time and hardwork are paying off and you are constantly becoming more fluid, relaxed and dynamic. It truely is beautiful my friend. Keep up the good work.
i'm usually one of the viewers that just sits around waiting for something in the AAL/TesseracT etc. realm of covers, but this video is one of my all time favorites. the drumming is perfect for the song without going too over the top, and it's done flawlessly
I feel like you're reaching this whole other level in your playing and feel these days. So great to watch. Nothing better than seeing realized potential.
This cover is so ridiculously good!!! That fill before the first chorus will forever be one of my favorites! So simple but so smooth! And the camera shakes are a nice touch!
Thus far, this is your best remix to date. The drum sound is there (undoubtedly due to better heads and Cameron's studio work), the creativity is there, the dynamics are there. Everything that makes a creative remix of a song is simply there. Great job, Luke Holland. Keep it up. I can't wait to see the next round of videos.
Luke is special Ellie I'm guessing because I've tried to watch other drummers cover her music and record label don't let the videos play haha but your also an amazing drummer thanks for continuing to put awesome quality videos up for even in your busy life
Give you mad respect Luke I have been watching your videos since 2011 when I first found your channel in Afghanistan. Just keep up the great work and always remember just have fun doing what you love to do and that's being a amazing drummer. Also because of you I fell for Ellie too lmao
This is my favorite cover because of the combination of musicality AND technicality. You're really starting to put it all together. Your a huge inspiration bro keep it up.
The playing in this one feels so much more grown up in a way. Its not just outrageous linear fills and double kick bursts, its just pocket and groove all the way through. This one really felt like a good cover as well as sounding great!
Damn man! One of your best remixes ever, perfect blend of technicality and power! Your a huge inspiration to me and drummers all around the world so keep on teaching and inspiring. Stay savage man your the shit.
Your covers always turn out amazing. In terms of raw talent your the best drummer on youtube by a wide margin. Can't wait to see more. I've been watching since the like a G6 video and they never get old.
I love watching luke. You can see that all of this is just flowing outta him. He makes it look easy, and that is one of many things that makes a good player. Are the people that thumbs downed this just jealous?
I love seeing how your style has been moving away from stick tricks and has been focused on rudiments and complex rhythms. It definitely shows how much your looking to check out and try new things and not just play metal like how some critics stereotype you.
Absolutely love how musical your addition to each of your remixes has grown since you started. Few drummers know how to be technical and fit the part. Great work!
He's doing so many things at the same time it feels like the audio and video are not synced, for it's hard to see it all! And it feels very natural, not too much drumming. Just awesome.
Man, Ive been subscribed to you since you were 18 I think and you never fail to amaze me! YOU were and still are the reason I got into drumming and you started my passion for it. You may not read this, but if you do, thank you so much for carrying on doing this.
I'm not Luke's biggest fan, but I feel like in the past couple of videos his playing has been becoming more mature. As in, more about the sound produced rather than a bunch of stick tricks. Keep up the great work man.
I bought the original version of this song the other day.. But man.. I keep finding myself coming back to this version time and time again.. Excellent job Luke.
I feel like your Ellie Goulding remixes are my favorite now. You manage to play strong and catchy parts on every ellie's song; this one is absolute exquisite.
This is great man, I like how you keep in the pocket and don't go with crazy chops like is no tomorrow, you demostrate skills but with out being a show-off.
Dude, hands down one of your best remixes. You really nailed that fine balance between wacky chops and holding down a strong sense of groove and pocket.
Proper speakers or headphones. When drummers do mixes themselves you can normally hear everything through normal speakers. But when an actually engineer does it they spread out the sound better. Therefore headphones are needed
Words trip me out but damn gee this performance is amazing I get a fun Disney feel but with a clean Sonic CD and your play has been clear playing dude I love this vi
Is it weird that i can't even listen to the original anymore after listening to this? Honestly the way you played fit the song so perfectly I feel like it should've been on the album!
Same here !!
Man, I totally agree!
Completely agree! Luke makes Ellie amazing. Its unreal how talented Luke is. I hope Luke blow up more than he already has.
Matt Chase I cant listen to anything but his cover of the songs like for Ain't it Fun, Where are you now, or Bittersweet. It's amazing with the drums. I'm in love. I want this on Itunes.
Truth.
Don't get me wrong, Luke is a GREAT metal drummer, but I think covers like this are his best work.

Metal bores the hell out of me and I agree 100%.
I would agree. But I feel Luke isn't in a metal band that would make use of his skill. If he were in a band like TesseracT or Periphery or some type of progressive band his skill would be more shown off. Where as his stuff in The Word Alive isn't bad.

Though i feel if he joined a type of band that you suggested people wouldn't appreciate it.
I would like to concur, I love seeing him do these. he'd rocket to fame if he were in a Blink 182 style band, or even a Linkin Park type band.
Couldn't agree more. I always said TWA isn't where he belongs, although their music is great. Luke is such a versatile drummer, and that's an understatement. The metal/hardcore genre doesn't show people what Luke is capable of.
agreed. TWA limits him, but i feel like he has a lot more potential in TWA as well.
Whoever mixed this really jipped us out of that beautiful dark ride
I saw this when it first came out and it’s still one of my favorite drum covers of all time to come back to. So clean and the sound...freakin good work

Out of all the og youtube drummers (you, cobus, ricky, cooperdrummer, etc) you're the only one im still subscribed to and enjoy watching. This is why
RESPECT, I have every single song you have ever covered because you are probably the best drummer I have ever seen and you make shit amazing.
I love your videos and drumming so much :)
I feel like you're reaching this whole other level in your playing and feel these days. So great to watch. Nothing better than seeing realized potential.
10th play in a row.... still jamming. I am obsessed luke. like I've shown my friends your songs like twice a day for the past like week
Seriously one of the best drummers in our generation by far! Keep it up man, do you and you'll keep going far. God bless you..
This cover is so ridiculously good!!! That fill before the first chorus will forever be one of my favorites! So simple but so smooth! And the camera shakes are a nice touch!
Those ghost notes are just insane! Dude you are just way beyond awesome... Luke Holland is the best 21 year old drummer for me *Hands Down!
2021 and I’m still just watching this like hot damn that was tasty.
Luke, you never fail to amaze me man, this was so good! Thanks for being such an inspiration.
Awesome, I'm looking forward to it! :)
***** you are best luke :) your tracks are awesome :)
Definitely one of my favorite covers! I feel like everything fit so well in this cover. Good vibes, good song, keep it up Luke!
Great to see Luke making videos for us again. You have been missed. This was amazing to watch as it is with all of your videos.
Thus far, this is your best remix to date. The drum sound is there (undoubtedly due to better heads and Cameron's studio work), the creativity is there, the dynamics are there. Everything that makes a creative remix of a song is simply there. Great job, Luke Holland. Keep it up. I can't wait to see the next round of videos.
The kit has never sounded better. Thank you Remo
Luke is special Ellie I'm guessing because I've tried to watch other drummers cover her music and record label don't let the videos play haha but your also an amazing drummer thanks for continuing to put awesome quality videos up for even in your busy life
I meant special to Ellie haha sorry
Give you mad respect Luke I have been watching your videos since 2011 when I first found your channel in Afghanistan. Just keep up the great work and always remember just have fun doing what you love to do and that's being a amazing drummer. Also because of you I fell for Ellie too lmao
The endless hours of practice is so visible in all of your videos!! Truly inspired!
One of the best drummers on the planet.
Luke ive only gotten chills from listening to music twice in my life. I hit replay twice btw
***** smooth....
Since you post this video a few days ago I have been watching it every day. I love the feeling you put in this cover
What I see is a guy in pure flow! Simply beautiful!
This is my favorite cover because of the combination of musicality AND technicality. You're really starting to put it all together. Your a huge inspiration bro keep it up.
The playing in this one feels so much more grown up in a way. Its not just outrageous linear fills and double kick bursts, its just pocket and groove all the way through. This one really felt like a good cover as well as sounding great!
2 years later and your drumming skills still blow my mind
You took this entire song to another level!!!
Luke's sleeve is looking sick. The mix on this remix is probably one of the best on an Ellie Goulding drum remix.
Thank you for another Ellie cover!! Have got a playlist of your Ellie drum covers up here. Much appreciation, friend!
Easily one of my favourite covers and drummers of all time, you are an inspiration.
A true master of the art of percussions 🙏
I could watch this dude's videos forever, he has one hell of a talent!
Damn man! One of your best remixes ever, perfect blend of technicality and power! Your a huge inspiration to me and drummers all around the world so keep on teaching and inspiring. Stay savage man your the shit.
Always inspirational, always original.........amazing!
Your covers always turn out amazing. In terms of raw talent your the best drummer on youtube by a wide margin. Can't wait to see more. I've been watching since the like a G6 video and they never get old.
Probably the highest quality production you've had on a video
I love watching luke. You can see that all of this is just flowing outta him. He makes it look easy, and that is one of many things that makes a good player. Are the people that thumbs downed this just jealous?
Anytime I see a Luke Holland video in my sub box I get a little tingle in me pants. This cover was incredible!
I love seeing how your style has been moving away from stick tricks and has been focused on rudiments and complex rhythms. It definitely shows how much your looking to check out and try new things and not just play metal like how some critics stereotype you.
I‘ve never seen a drummer that fitted in so well
You have my vote! I love all of your covers!!! 😍😍😍
One of your best performances in my opinion. everything is so slick and on point. love it
one of his more underrated covers. soooo tasty!
I honestly cannot stop watching this. Great job man.
Love the remix. Love the heavier stuff but the pop remixes are what first made me a fan.
Omg. Best drum cover i've ever seen.
These beats are so creative! I love them!
Absolutely love how musical your addition to each of your remixes has grown since you started. Few drummers know how to be technical and fit the part. Great work!
MAN WHAT PLANET ARE YOU FROM???? AMAZING
He's doing so many things at the same time it feels like the audio and video are not synced, for it's hard to see it all! And it feels very natural, not too much drumming.
Just awesome.
Oh man, you are GENIUS!
i could seriously listen to your videos all day every day, hope to see some more soon hey!! AMAZING, inspiring!
Man, Ive been subscribed to you since you were 18 I think and you never fail to amaze me! YOU were and still are the reason I got into drumming and you started my passion for it. You may not read this, but if you do, thank you so much for carrying on doing this.
I don't know what goes on in Luke Holland's brain when he drums, but whatever happens is magic! haha
I just met Luke in Disneyland last week, I still can't believe I shook one of those insanely talent hands
Amazing as usual! cant stop listening to this remix +LukeHollandDrums
I'm not Luke's biggest fan, but I feel like in the past couple of videos his playing has been becoming more mature. As in, more about the sound produced rather than a bunch of stick tricks. Keep up the great work man.
I bought the original version of this song the other day.. But man.. I keep finding myself coming back to this version time and time again.. Excellent job Luke.
I just have so much respect for you because I lack coordination and you play drums with so much skill! I love your covers. You are so talented!
2021 & I’m STILL jamming this. Love the Ellie Goulding remixes 🤙🏼
I feel like your Ellie Goulding remixes are my favorite now. You manage to play strong and catchy parts on every ellie's song; this one is absolute exquisite.
That was dope man! Thanks for stopping at warped to say what's up and take a pic. You inspire me to be a better drummer, keep up the good work!
This is ruddy awesome. Just wish I could hear more of the ride!
Amazing♥ Ellie covers are my absolutely favorite!!
uma das coisas mais incríveis que já vi na minha vida !
Has become the greatest drummer alive no matter wat he plays.
Amazing cover. Both Tasteful and Technical. Can't stop watching it!
That entire kit sounds godly.
You're an absolute champ! Never stop playing
Still blows me away how he keeps the hats swaying to the beat!!
Yo Luke! your videos honestly inspire me so much. It was a joy seeing you play at warped in Toronto.
Your independence around the kit is phenomenal, nice work.
Luke is Love, Luke is Life
Your the reason i've picked up drum sticks again, thank you Luke, you're a huge inspiration much love and keep being amazing! :D
I wasn't ready, it's a too short moment in life. You made a really good job man
I can't listen to this enough. Keep up the great work man!
Definitely your most well put together cover yet. The drumming really compliments the song.
This video is like a drug! Seriously I cant stop watching it!
Luke thanks for teaching me at warped tour in maryland. Made me a very happy guy. Keep up drumming and hopefully one day we can play together.
This is great man, I like how you keep in the pocket and don't go with crazy chops like is no tomorrow, you demostrate skills but with out being a show-off.
you have a one of a kind style Luke. sometimes you actually look like an anime character. your drumming is surreal.
INSPIRATION OF MINE! Best drummer on the planet in my opinion. Keep drumming dude!
Man I wish I had Luke's kit! It's just so great XD
Jeeez mate! You blow me away every time...awesome!
Dude, hands down one of your best remixes. You really nailed that fine balance between wacky chops and holding down a strong sense of groove and pocket.
Yet another fantastic job. You are A FREAKIN BOSS!
Really cool cover! One of the best since some time.
i love the groove Luke. Awesomeness
Wow!!!u are just awesome..what took me so long to find this cover? subscribed right away..keep up the good work Luke..keep playing..
Can't hear your ride cymbal at all. With that many mics i find it hard to believe that you didnt pick up signal for it.
I thought it was a problem my end, but I couldn't hear the ride or hi-hats.
Proper speakers or headphones. When drummers do mixes themselves you can normally hear everything through normal speakers. But when an actually engineer does it they spread out the sound better. Therefore headphones are needed
Yeah, I'm using headphones. The sound is all cutting through fine but the ride cymbal is just non-existent
same here, I wanted to hear the drums and cymbals not the stupid track
I can hear the ride just fine, im not sure what you are talking about
I have been waiting for this all my life
Always love the Ellie remixes. This may be my next favorite, Bittersweet being my favorite. Drums sound great, mix is amazing as well. Bravo, Luke!
You know its a good drum remix when he plays a song you hate and manages to make you like it
Words trip me out but damn gee this performance is amazing I get a fun Disney feel but with a clean Sonic CD and your play has been clear playing dude I love this vi
Saludos desde Venezuela... Gracias por deleitarnos con tu talento.
AWESOME Luke! You are my inspiration!
