@@NZealandKiwi arguably different bands though... original 1969 Judas Priest ended early 1970. KK, Ian and Ellis took the name when Atkins joined them late 1970.
He was the drummer of Trapeze from 1969 to 1979 and recorded 8 albuns with the band. Dave was very dinamic energetic and versatile drummer. His tenure with the Priest from 1979 to 1989 showed an economic and not flamboyant style. I admire him, he was so good that he didn't care with the spotlight. Very solid. Rest in peace Dave.
It is wonderful to listen to the Priest's backbone in full action. Not only the riffs/leads and vocal performance which are their most known-for traits.
Thanks for this. Dave was a solid groove monster. Held it down nicely. But he could also bring the music to life, he, like Phil Rudd, was judicious and musical with his use of those shimmering Paiste crashes. He complemented the melody.
I was at your RRHF Induction and was so happy that KK showed his class by mentioning you and the great work you did. Saw you on the Vengeance Tour Memphis Tenn 1982 and you signed my Album when i met the whole group at another show. Your true fans still miss you . I dont believe any of the BS...
He could be pretty funky , progressive type of drummer and was fluent in double bass if you check his live performances and some of his stuff with Trapeze and Glenn Hughes
i love judas priest and rob halfords solo projects, but I only learned to listen to the drumming in the last year or so, the intros and breaks are phenomenal, I began to listen to the older albums just for the drumming

@@Nissardpertugiu I'd say that was a smart choice. Dave was more than capable of playing more technical songs. One listen of him playing Ram It Down live in '88 at light speed is proof enough.

Sounds great and accurate. 😎 By the way, it's a shame that there isn't any material from Dave's era, for example from studio sessions. Do such material even exist... 🤔 It would be really interesting to see.
I agree with Will. Dave's style is fairly simple and straightforward for sure, compared to some other heavy metal bands of that time. But it works, it's enough. And the "little" that he did, he did well. Ian Hill isn't Steve Harris or David Ellefson either, but his style fits Judas Priest's music just fine. As much as I like the other two guys, I don't think someone like Harris would've sounded good in Judas Priest. John Hinch and Alan Moore weren't bad either to be honest, even though they rarely get any praises. They were good for the style of music that Judas Priest were after at the time.

@@namnefternamn5463 No, it is not. It was not robotic and stiff with Simon Phillips, Les Binks and it is not that with Scott Travis, either. Only Dave Holland did that (except for the excellent Defenders of the Faith album) so much that even the JP members were happy he left.

Dave was beating those drums like they owed him money! He was such an underrated powerhouse! 🤘🤘

R.I.P Dave Holland. My favourite drummer and the best drummer of the greatest heavy metal band of all time.
AMEN BROTHER!!!!!!!I really miss him
Oh hell yeah. In my opinion Dave Holland and Clive Burr are the catalyst of heavy metal drumming. Simple yet oh so powerful.
braincrisp1 Exactly, Clive Burr annihilated any of the other maiden drummers.
@@sethhatfield6293 He came from the British New Wave/Punk scene so played far more aggressively.
Absolutely!!Philthy from Motorhead was great to

Love Dave's dry punchy snare, grindy hi-hat, flat bellowy toms, and splashy Paiste Rude cymbals. He's the man!
I LOVE his drum sound on Point Of Entry. The toms and snare are perfect! This band is the epitome of greatness in my eyes and to my ears!
@@shredguitarob Point of Entry is my favorite Priest album for production. For music it's my 3rd favorite Priest album.
Ooohhh......I'm still shooting white we we into my underpants because I'm so excited...oh yes lovely cymbols ..
you can totally hear that RUDE tone...other than the rides, Ive always detested the sound. ....this is a fun listen.
Ian Hill - Dave Holland = best heavy metal rythm section ! Simply as that !
That signature Holland roll before the vocals come in is an example of how Dave could create as so much excitement with a simple part
He was a great drummer.
Dave Holland Forever !!!

Agree with Will. Don't know the details, but his drumming is phonemonal. Scott Travis doesn't have the groove and can't find the pocket.
