The fact that the drums on Animals as Leaders entire first album are programmed (which means the drums are literally in perfect time, and will make the slightest mistake stick out) really go to show your timing is absolutely dead on. Amazing cover dude!
I loved the cover. I see this was published in 2011 and you were an amazing musician back there. I can't imagine the beast you must be now. Amazing cover. Thx for sharing this
I never comment on videos, but I had to make an exception. The fact you do not take lessons, and the way you're killing this song is so impressive. I can't even imagine how hard it would be. Props.
Personally I like the stick flips, maybe it's more of a habit than for show. He does play in TWA so doing live shows with them I don't see as to why the stick flips seem arrogant or cocky? It's to put on a show and that's what he did. There's no "worlds best drummer" or "perfect cover" on here. It's all just for fun, of course there was a few slip ups but nevertheless pretty solid, not one of his best covers but still good.
No comments about your comments... It was 5 years ago when he was 18. If he would want, Luke can record a new version of that cover, and it will definitely better, but for what? ;)
Dude this is ridiculous. I always saw CAFO as the impossible track to crack. Watching this sure brings things in perspective. Gives me the motivation to just go for it.
prometheusxc Even though the performance wasn't all that bad, I just can't bring myself to enjoy it at all. That snare right there proves the existence of hell.
WTFFFFF. HOW IS THIS POSSSIBLEEEEEEEEEEE Sick cover man I've watched this like 10 times now and can't get over how clean u can play this monster of a song.
I think he does a fantastic job. I'm working on this song right now, and watching this has helped a lot. No need for the grow up comment, this guy is 18 and doing an amazing job.
No, there would be zero dislikes if people weren't jealous of his level of talent. He can do stick tricks constantly throughout the video and still play nearly perfectly. You may not personally like it, but doing stick tricks live really adds to the show.
it takes away from the ghost notes he could be adding, or anything else could add, its limiting and only for the viewer, but he is about that now so people want redos
I love how you did the beginning mate, I'm used to people going crazy on gravity's at the intro, but your way not only sounds better, but also makes this song less impossible to play. Thanks man, and keep it up!
i can't tell if it's the snare from the original track, or someone tried to slide late/early snare hits and i'm still hearing the original bleed through from other mics.
Cassio Moreira 2 years late on the original comment but I think the double snare is latency on a trigger for the snare maybe. every other drum is in time but the snare sounds a millisecond late almost all the time.
I'm so glad that you did this cover. My favorite by far and away. Plus this is one of the absolute most impressive showcases of musicianship on RUclips, imo. Kudos to you, Luke. Also, I'm so stoked to hear that you might do a Periphery cover!
holy shit, i watched this over like 4 times to break apart each part to see how hard this is, and i am amazed, this guy is really good. also the drummer who made this song is a genius
Awesome drumming! Looks like you were going to pass out at about 2 minutes into the song with the mouth breathing and the half open eyes. Thanks for almost dying of heatstroke to bring us this awesome drum cover!
Superb playing and incorporation of stick tricks as well. Drumming is as much timing as it is a visual art. You're well on your way, and don't be discouraged by other peoples' negative posts. You're favorite musicians understand what it took to get where they are. Lots of practice and a passion for what they do...
120 degree arizona weather. and to think i thoight the sweat accumilating throughout this cover was because you were actually trying... lol still an awesome cover. your 1 of the best already man. a true prodigy.
I don't think personally it matters, for him to be able to flash the way he does and still maintain the complexity of the piece is fantastic. Flashing just comes with with the flow of the music.
This song is a monster, screw everybody giving negative comments. Really, you did an awesome job, one of the better covers of this song on RUclips. I live in Arizona also, but I'm more of a marching band-type drummer. :P But seriously, amazing cover, hopefully you make some more AAL in the future. :)
@LukeHollandDrums that sucks man, I love your videos though you just amaze me, Ive learned some little parts of this song (on drums and guitar) and that part with the groups of 5's on the kick is damn hard, you do it really well!!!
You say this song is the one that really challenged you. I'm thinking...he's pulling it off, and spinning the sticks and all that. LOL hats off to you man
i just came here to say, awesome work you are truly amazing, cafo its one of my favorite songs, specially for the drums, and you pulled it extraordinarily also ignore the sad trolls, sadly youtube its plagued with a lot of them that dont have anything good to add
I think this one deserves a redo Luke
lol how'd this get 116 likes without replies........ well here yah go
No disrespect meant of course. Would be cool to see how you play this song 6 years later.
why'd you reply to me with that....... lol did i just remind you to add another comment
Wasn't a reply to you. But yes you did
well my request of redoing it would be to Animals as leaders instead haha
The fact that the drums on Animals as Leaders entire first album are programmed (which means the drums are literally in perfect time, and will make the slightest mistake stick out) really go to show your timing is absolutely dead on. Amazing cover dude!
The progress you have made in the last 5 years is incredible. GJ
He was once 250 pounds...
After practicing CAFO three days straight...
...he now weighs only 15.
#someonesendfoodtothisguy
the snare sounds like a stone
yeah it sounds like he's drumming on a rock.
like a stone..great song
So, it has the best Tom Morello's guitar solo?
REDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE M9
I loved the cover. I see this was published in 2011 and you were an amazing musician back there. I can't imagine the beast you must be now. Amazing cover. Thx for sharing this

Just came from your arithmophobia cover.... the change and progress is so incredibly impressive. I'd love to see you redo this one.
Oh my gosh! Sooooo much respect to anyone who can cover this song. Way to go!
Personally I like the stick flips, maybe it's more of a habit than for show. He does play in TWA so doing live shows with them I don't see as to why the stick flips seem arrogant or cocky?

Awesome job young man. You have got to be one of the most technically proficient drummers I've seen in a very long time. Rock on!
well damn, that's bold covering one of the most progressive songs of the decade
this is just awesome. ive seen all of your drum covers. this amazes me. all of your covers do.
Why can't we just appreciate this? It's a great song and a great cover.
This guy is one of the best drummers I know! Big ups!
No comments about your comments... It was 5 years ago when he was 18. If he would want, Luke can record a new version of that cover, and it will definitely better, but for what? ;)
Dude this is ridiculous.
I always saw CAFO as the impossible track to crack.
Watching this sure brings things in perspective.
Gives me the motivation to just go for it.
If you can keep up with Tosin you already won.
Theres no reason for people to dislike this video other than for jealousy. He looks so comfortable behind the kit.
as a drummer myself, i know that the stick flips after a while just become a habit. sometimes you dont even know when your doing it
my goodness...i..i cant even comprehend how amazing that was.
That snare sounds sooooo bad.
None of it sounds good tbh, but got damn that snare especially sounds like shit.
prometheusxc Even though the performance wasn't all that bad, I just can't bring myself to enjoy it at all.
That snare right there proves the existence of hell.
Compare that to the snare in his Dark Matter cover.
why I think its good
Every time he hits the snare a Balloon is gone
WTFFFFF. HOW IS THIS POSSSIBLEEEEEEEEEEE
Sick cover man I've watched this like 10 times now and can't get over how clean u can play this monster of a song.
Needs more stick flips.
I think he does a fantastic job. I'm working on this song right now, and watching this has helped a lot. No need for the grow up comment, this guy is 18 and doing an amazing job.
why does the snare sound like he is hitting a brand new box of korn flakes?
No, there would be zero dislikes if people weren't jealous of his level of talent. He can do stick tricks constantly throughout the video and still play nearly perfectly. You may not personally like it, but doing stick tricks live really adds to the show.
I dont know what you guys are sayin, I think the stick tricks are pretty sick
I agree
it takes away from the ghost notes he could be adding, or anything else could add, its limiting and only for the viewer, but he is about that now so people want redos
@@JTMDrummingwhy? What will that do? Why not just stick to the original song and NOT add extra shit?
I love how you did the beginning mate, I'm used to people going crazy on gravity's at the intro, but your way not only sounds better, but also makes this song less impossible to play. Thanks man, and keep it up!
that snare tho
poop snare
You're an inspiration. I wish I could be as dedicated to things in my life as you are to your drumming.
Be sick if you redid this cover without the stick tricks and put all your focus into your playing. Beautiful cover regardless.
This would be valid if it actually affected the performance
so far one of hardest songs to play dude great job! keep it up!
Snare? ):
baby luke has come so far
That snare sounds like gonorrhea. The cover sounds better.
Even the mixing is spot on, very well done.
i see very much double snare in audio...i'm right ?
i can't tell if it's the snare from the original track, or someone tried to slide late/early snare hits and i'm still hearing the original bleed through from other mics.
Cassio Moreira 2 years late on the original comment but I think the double snare is latency on a trigger for the snare maybe. every other drum is in time but the snare sounds a millisecond late almost all the time.
I'm so glad that you did this cover. My favorite by far and away. Plus this is one of the absolute most impressive showcases of musicianship on RUclips, imo. Kudos to you, Luke.
Also, I'm so stoked to hear that you might do a Periphery cover!
too much focus on stick throws...
dude this is nasty, by far your hardest cover (or most technical song it seems)... you are a beast, my friend.
Great playing, shitty snare sound, even shittier headphones. Mah 2 cents
shut the fuck up and do a better cover
HezeKiah Ocean he was just saying the snare sounds bad.
holy shit, i watched this over like 4 times to break apart each part to see how hard this is, and i am amazed, this guy is really good. also the drummer who made this song is a genius
dude straight up,you snare sounds like angel voice...i wish i had your kit, and your studio kit. there set up prime
amazing cover btw
This young man is unbelivable ! Wich you the best for your future.
That is such a hectic song. Stupidly hectic. Luke, you done good.
Love the way his snare sounds
I've been watching this kid grow into the little killer he is today. Happy for your success ma
I appreciate how much work you put into this cover man. Tough to pull off, great job.
That snare sounds sooooo clean omg
Awesome drumming! Looks like you were going to pass out at about 2 minutes into the song with the mouth breathing and the half open eyes. Thanks for almost dying of heatstroke to bring us this awesome drum cover!
Best drum cover of this song on youtube! Good job!
Go check out Troy wright do it. It's flawless
in love with that snare
We get it luke ! You play the drums !
Well done Luke, very impressive & only made the more harder with that heat!
Excellent.
This was really sick. I enjoyed every second of it.
Good job, Luke!
Mate this is friggin amasing considering i heard the drums were programmed on the album and not actually played! Bloody good job champ!!
Nothing short of incredible
As good as you are Luke, no man alive can make this look "easy". Fantastic job.. wish I was half the drummer you are.
Superb playing and incorporation of stick tricks as well. Drumming is as much timing as it is a visual art. You're well on your way, and don't be discouraged by other peoples' negative posts. You're favorite musicians understand what it took to get where they are. Lots of practice and a passion for what they do...
the name Luke Holland will be known as a famous drummer youtube sensation one day !! fantastic performance mate !! XD
I think flipping the sticks on top of playing this is impressive.. Great job man!!
favorite band ever, and you killed this song dude,
All these people complaining are ridiculous... Bro you are a monster! Keep it up my man. Looking for for what's to come!!!
i find it weird that this has less views than ur other videos
and yet, this is the best band so far on ur channel imo
fuck you
Such a hard beat to master, and you have done it my friend!
Like, like, like!!!! Beautiful cover!!!!
Props for playing such a difficult song, but still- flams. Flams everywhere.
you totally owned this song, kudos
best one i've seen yet!
I can't believe we're the same age, we're both drummers and you kick my ass so hard, it disappoints me
Behold, Luke Holland, my favorite drummer :D
i knew you were good, like really good, so i looked at your vids and you did an Animals as Leaders cover! damn dude, you're nuts
Idk About you guys but I love the snare, it fits the song perfectly
Damn bro that was BADASS. Good job.
The hard part about AAL songs isn't necessarily playing it, its memorizing it haha. Good job!
i love that kit!
Nice job on the fill at the end--you are drippin sweat dude haha. Well done.
FOCUS. FOCUS !
Damn it hurts me so much.

Dude you were dying halfway but you kept going! Amazing cover.

Beastmode!!!
You got my like...i don't care much for all the tricks of stick flipping and shit, but you make it look good and easy. Awesome vid, dude.
This song is a monster, screw everybody giving negative comments. Really, you did an awesome job, one of the better covers of this song on RUclips.
