[@LukeHollandDrums]

What other questions do you guys have for me? Comment below!

[@amandarengifo1252]

Vas a hacer algún tour por Sudamérica? Chile específicamente

[@ConModderz]

What video(s) are you the most proud of, or were when you posted them? If you're like me, the one you post the most recently is the best, but the minute you make another you think the older one is bad lol

[@DandNadventures]

With the Justin bieber where are you now cover, it is no longer on your KZbin channel. Was this song taken down by KZbin or have you just privated the video?

[@finnlinnsone]

What are the three most memorable tours you've played in during the span of your career until now?

[@jacobcarrillo5842]

Collab with Matt McGuire?!!🤪😂

Seeshh little shrimp.

shush lil shrimp

[@ZaykomLevi]

"I dont really think the best drummer exists" wise words

[@ryans62]

i guess you haven't met Luke Holland then :

[@ZaykomLevi]

@@ryans62 wdym that's what he said

[@eevalobo]

Until I walk in the building. 🤣💪🏻

[@bjarnedrums2377]

I really like the idea of showing more personal stuff👍🏻

[@dustyhills8911]

I'm an even bigger fan now after seeing this, hearing you talk, and getting a feel for who you are behind the scenes. You seem like a legit dude! From one small town drummer to another, keep on keepin' it real! You've been a part of my inspiration to get back into drumming, and to take my drumming to the next level! THANK YOU!!!

[@tylinperez8360]

Love your authenticity and transparency Luke! You radiate such pure energy and it motivates my son a lot with his drumming! 🤍

[@SimonRileyDrums]

I really love how genuine you are off and on the kit. There’s nothing worse than having a super talented individual that has a shitty personality and recognizing that you still even at your level have stuff to work on and learn is really refreshing to hear. Forward progression and a positive outlook are key, man. Keep up the great work🥁

[@Ghosted676]

I love that you’re such a down to earth dude Cant wait for more covers you’re doing

[@Samford404]

You honestly should do more of these, interesting side of you that you barely show.

[@bennieboy777]

Loved hearing your points of view on a lot of these topics. I actually met you when you were touring with Jason, when you played in Philly, PA. I was actually there to see Polyphia, and when you guys came on, all I could focus on was your drumming. I've only been drumming a few years but you're a huge inspiration to me. When I went up to talk to you, it didn't seem like I was talking to a superstar, but I really kind of was. We shook hands and you told me "Just keep practicing, and put the time in" and I took that to heart. I'm getting better every day, and I aspire to reach your skill level some day. Honestly, I'd love to see you write a book about your progression of getting better at more complex drumming. Also some sheet music for some of your improvisations would be awesome. Learning your "Cinema" by Skrillex cover by ear was very hard haha. Anyway, I love your content, and just...thank you, for real.

[@drumsman24]

That was so wholesome, Luke! Keep doing you, keep inspiring! Much Love from Bulgaria!

[@finnlinnsone]

I've been crushing on this fine man since I was 14 when he was in TWA, and right now I'm 21. All these years and he still looks the same. I can't wait to see where more of the people I looked up to as a youngster end up when I grow older :)

[@timdavies1344]

Hopefully not where a lot of the people I looked up to are now... either cancelled or on some register, in prison or dead from their own doings.. this young chap I don’t ever seeing going any of those ways... maybe my generation had to fuc up so bad to show you guys really not how to do it.. out of bad becomes good... maybe 🤔

[@aarondrr]

Ive been watching your videos since 2012 which was around the same time I got into learning drums. You are truly an inspiration to me bro, Keep going at it.

[@RevolutionDrummer47]

You are so humble Luke, that's awesome.

[@alexknerzer3949]

Thanks for including my question! I've been recording my playing and tracking progress better and that has helped a ton!

[@Strudelman420]

I'm so glad Paul let you listen to his CD player when you were young. I'm also glad your mom only made him go to college and let you pursue your music career. You never stop amazing me with your growth and talent. Much love bro!

[@nikirennie3712]

Please do more Q & A's!! You made me feel not so bad about my drumming.. I have been trying to put more time into rudiments because that is the foundation stuff.. but I prefer to play by ear and along to something!! Would love to meet you one day!!! Thank you!!!!

[@user-dj4bu8bq5r]

The "little shrimp" video is from memes vs talent video Thx for answering my question, dude I appreciate it

[@jasonharris9187]

I have a similar experience with touring at the start. I joined the camp two weeks away from turning 20, beyond frightened whether or not I would keep the gig. As a 19 year old, I also had my shit together and knocked it out of the park. Super thankful they took a chance on a kid as an audio engineer and it was the right choice for them. 🙏🏻

[@rebekahcarter8120]

So much respect for you & your journey.

[@gabrielgomer]

Really enjoy this kind of content too man, humble and sweet! nice one!

[@aiueokaya]

Please be more active here. I love to watch you all day back. I learned a lot from your covers. For me you're still one of the best drummer out there. Still waiting for a jazzy Luke Holland.

[@robinmagee1248]

Your great drummer and you good company thanks for the love Luke!

[@auswillaus]

Just got your signature sticks, they're awesome!😁

[@drakausdromgatti58]

Handsome bastard and your amazing at drums... some guys have it all

[@MrBeats030]

Great vid! This is nice to learn more about one of my favorite drummers rn. You're a real dude man, thanks for doin this for us fans

[@TroyDawdy]

Enjoyed just hearing you chat with us man, thanks for the vid. The dream is still to jam with you someday

[@JamesRobertson844]

such a humble dude, respect.

[@Jomama7272]

Yeah, definitely makes me feel old. I subbed when you covered To Plant a Seed.

[@maidenless_tarnished]

I found your channel years ago because of thatcomputernerd and have been following ever since. It's crazy to think that it's been that long, and I feel like I've grown up with you in a sense lol. You are a huge inspiration for being able achieve whatever you want

[@lukeafranklin]

I would love more of these!

[@PeterEnis69]

Luke is such a down to earth guy

[@timhartigdrums]

18:40 ...when an invisible force causes a volcano to erupt, trapping your favourite drummer and giving you the opportunity to fill in for him. Only life can think up something like that. Crazy amazing :))

[@coreyroberts47]

This is the best vid ive seen in a while. Good dude man

[@keziahleclercq1267]

Yeah!! There is my question thanks Luke, you’re my idol!!

[@nentihaiudittu]

such a cool and genuinely down to earth guy

[@reymonmatin-ao9799]

Thank you luke..We love to hear from you.❤️😊Stay motivated.🤟😎

[@exsimedia73]

we need more vids like this. Super cool getting it know you a little more outside of drums

[@TrevorGray4758]

Dude your awesome bro I wish my life went the way yours did. not jealous just supportive. Respect brotha🤙

[@yarpyarp85]

So glad u did this!! Thank you dude!

[@jamesfellender5393]

I am so stoked for the new Jason Richardson album for sure, could you please make this a full time series? Also could you do just drum vids without the music after you have uploaded the music with the song, also who remembers when he did 2 covers and 1 remix as his schedule, wish he could go back to that or do 2 remixes and 1 cover. That schedule was just perfect, also would you ever make another cover with Jeremy Tremp again man, miss his cinematography, much love man!

[@ablackshedd]

Natural knack, indeed. You rip, bro. When I first saw your MGK Hold On(Shut Up) cover I was like "O f--k I gotta quit or get better, cuz this kid just cut my head right off." lol. It blew me away, it was so great. Videography was awesome, too. Took me two months to transcribe Hold On and a year to dial it up (without the stick tricks of course. lol). It's still a beast to play. Thank you for the inspiration, brother. Be well and keep killing it. Much love.

[@JennSCHWA]

Eyyy marching band!!! I played flute in high school & was a woodwind since fourth grade but then did DCA in 2015 with Long Island Sunrisers and marched cymbal line🤘 drum line was so frickin hard! But so fun!

[@natejohnson5614]

Great job the other night in Live From the Unknown

[@williamtuma928]

Request! Holly roller by spiritbox. Pretty please.

[@nickkduhh]

Love this, glad to have ran into you at NAMM a few years ago Keep being a badass 🤘🏼

[@wannursofeah1968]

love this

[@stefanmccabe4705]

You’re the real deal dude!

[@0megamon]

Great video man- always appreciate these types of videos from artists and YT Creators. I'd really love to know what stacks you're playing right now! I know one is your artist signature Bullet stack; but what are the other two?

[@Jeddrums93]

good stuff luke!

[@gaberay2903]

use this as the "luke should start a vlog" like button petition

[@lassdasmal3012]

I have to confess that I thought for months that you got super arrogant but this video changed my whole opinion. Maybe I felt sad that I don´t see you anymore playing some metal songs but I understand now that you need a tiny break from metal after so many years playing it and that it gets really competitive. Still I am looking forward for your next song with Jason R. I am sorry man for thinking you were arrogant but thank you now for this nice Q&A video!!!

[@LukeHollandDrums]

I’m not sure why everyone thinks this way about me since I started putting videos on the internet 11 years ago. Maybe it’s exactly that, I’m not afraid to be myself & put myself out there & be vulnerable. Either way, I’ll continue to live the way I want & do the things I want to do & stay thankful for the supporters 🙏

[@lassdasmal3012]

@@LukeHollandDrums That´s awesome! I think you are a big inspiration & a great artist and I will continue supporting you! Thank you for your answer! :)

[@AdversaryNemesis1124]

My idol!!

[@selvieaakagi]

Please make a video about all of your tattoos and stories behind it (^o^)/

[@user-dj4bu8bq5r]

This is kind of a weird question, but what happened with vic firth?

[@gustavolagosfotografia]

I guess that Meinl offered him the oportunity for the signature stick

[@asabaewuaoi5380]

Ohh anime? You mentioned that you love watching anime. Maybe try doing some AniSong covers bro? You deserve more subscribers

[@theperfectcircus]

All the drum stuff is cool but, where do you get your gear (clothes) from? You could definitely pull off your own brand but not like merch. You got the audience and influence AND it's another creative outlet. Your drumming is awesome, I used to put the headphones on and play drums to Tech N9ne and Krizz Kalico, such a cool different vibe than metal.

[@kirigakurekijin4570]

Love ya

[@martinsberzins2044]

ok, I'm on that by ear club! 100% agree. No sheets, no, no, no :)

[@balintczene3992]

good one!

[@BraydenTabakian]

love it bro

[@jameskeene8125]

Are you ever gonna do a video of you playing Texas in July hook line and sinner again. It would be awesome to see you play again when your older. That’s how I heard about you

[@ethanjto]

Nothing will get you cleaner than grinding all rudiments and hybrid rudiments in a line where everyone needs to play the exact same thing in perfect timing.

[@brantley4503]

Love the vid🔥

[@hapyharyhard0n581]

Dude, thank you for doing this. Your videos are awesome. But, dont always need to be the next new metal cover. Do some reaction videos. Short instructional videos. mix it up and keep putting out some good content. your work in general is sought after and a pleasure to watch. keep it up, Luke. Cheers

[@icadrums]

Nice! 😁

[@2turntT_I_N_O]

Luke just lettin you know, your a huge inspiration to me and id love to jam with you one day:)

[@DanVC]

What happened to The Evening band? Why does Elijah Trey left the band? Those are the best songs of my life... and yea.. I'm 37 years old.

[@bythewaybrian3894]

Your so chill dude, would love to hang out and watch anime with you. Definitely do a tattoo video!

[@ryans62]

What Video games :D? and in your Drumeo online lesson, what dimensions were your two crashes?

[@southisaac]

Can you do a video showing your setup? (Maybe you did and I missed it).

[@IanSarmiento]

if you will get a chance to change your cymbals and drum setup, what sizes would you use? :D

hey luke, when are you going to the philippines?

[@alexpartner2513]

Im going off to college at the end of the year and at the end im wanting to make it out drumming professionally like you so do u have any tips ?

[@JasonRyanWilson]

What's the longest song you've ever played live? Cover or original.

[@Notype976]

What is your splash stack right next to your hi/hats please?

[@aiueokaya]

You watch anime? What did you liked yhe most?

[@KD3LL]

Been a fan since high school. Nice demon slayer shirt haha didn’t know you were a anime fan.

[@DavidSmith-mx5cd]

Hey luke do you have any double bass drumming tips?? I've been playing for about 20 years. I can't seem to get past about 210bpm singles and doubles. Do you have a double bass routine you did to develop your feet??

[@bryfrizzlee]

I’m from Harrisburg, PA and ik you were collabing with a kid from there. Think he’s in yamyam ? Where you guys at with that?

[@nonamenolastname9567]

2021 🤟🏻🎶

[@MrMitchSH]

You're a cool dude, bro

[@AntonioCarbutti]

Okay now that we know that u like anime it's time to bring some anime covers!

[@tysongraham8418]

Can you cover "Inception" by Ateez next??

[@shucklesors]

it's interesting that he no longer does his rudiments or even "warms up", while drummers who are light years ahead of him (and actually were light years ahead even a decade ago) like matt garstka still do their warm ups and rudiments religiously. it really, really helps to no longer be so addicted to metal music (especially prog metal), because the technical demands are basically non-existent in comparison

[@andrewheartsu]

The World Alive fucking blows though. It's amazing they acquired Luke.

[@auswillaus]

Also the "little shrimp" video was Talent vs Memes

[@Jor.kam17]

I peep the demon slayer, good shit hahaha
