Love this, thanks man

[@jonny555ive]

Out-fucking-standing bro. You foot work is on a whole nother level. I am very impressed. I've been playing drums for over 30 years and you do things that boggles my mind. Sick playing brother. 🤘🤘

[@jonny555ive]

P. S. Your channel has a new subscriber buddy. 🤘🤘

[@NonnyStrikes]

Best comment.

[@dillanthrall9764]

He said “that would give me tendinitis” 😂😂😂

[@chrisculver701]

I watch your play through of this song at least once a month. They rhythm is on point

[@quinfinocchio599]

i like your commentary, dont let shitty comments affect what you wanna do or say please!

Left him speechless.

[@IFGchannel931]

4:21 "VREE VREE VREE VREE-AAH SHIT, SON!" Best quote from this video, lol!!! Luke Holland is a monster and his project with Jason Richardson is great.

[@niclastname]

"I talk too much".... but I like the talking parts D: What's the point of watching you just watch a video if we don't get to hear you break things down more and analyze it and explain stuff? That's what I'm here for!

[@paulweston8184]

It's Luke Holland bro. That's what it's like to watch Luke lol. There is so much going on in his drumming, that if you talk, you'll miss something. I think all you have to do is look at Garrets face and that says it all. Sometimes there are just no words.

[@tempuramonster]

I agree. I fucking abhor reaction videos, but as a musician, this one made me click. I was hoping for some informed/educated insight, but it ended up just being an actual reaction video. Just my luck.

[@Kholdaimon]

I am here for his ridiculous facial expressions...

[@robertfan332]

His face muscles did the talking on this one.

[@mangoshake]

2:45 I came here for that STAAAANK face

[@holprod00]

so good:)

[@austinhamilton9444]

I must say I do prefer a bit more of an analysis especially at the end of the vid. But I'm not surprised you found Luke great! He's an absolute beast

[@sorak185]

Luke is a technically talented drummer, but all I've ever seen from him are covers. He doesn't seem to have any creative talent of his own. I can play a fair number of guitar riffs from John Petrucci, does that make me a great guitarist? Even I don't try to claim that title. Being able to copy does not make a person actually "good" at the instrument. Luke can play, there is no doubt about that. But can he *create*? I haven't seen any evidence that he can.

[@austinhamilton9444]

@@sorak185 just because you didn't write something doesn't discredit talent. If you can play dream theatre songs on guitar, you're talented. Same goes for every instrument.

[@DarkPhantomSky]

@@sorak185 Pretty sure he wrote the parts for this album with Jason Richardson.

[@benscones9529]

@@sorak185 He's drummed in multiple bands and written the parts for some of the albums.

[@robopandavsbob]

timeshifter08 Yeah so this video is a play-through of a song off of his album with Jason Richardson... Which means he wrote the drum part for this song and all of the others on the album. So your claim is already kinda baseless given the fact that he “created” from scratch in the very video you commented on... While he does do a lot of drum covers on his channel (which more often than not are original drum parts that he creates for an already existing song), he has a ton of original music as well. I’d suggest checking it out. Especially the stuff with Jason Richardson because every single song is just as amazing as Tendinitis, if not even more so.

[@robertmurphy3014]

Not enough talking or farting in this video.

[@D1ssilience]

Wrong channel, Samus is the other way around. Make a u turn around Jared Dines channel and he's right around the corner from that shitty youtube channel

Can you do of Matter by TesseracT live at Sphere Studios? That would be amazing!

[@MusicPancho]

Louis Chadwick Music i second this, also everything from Tesseract drummer

[@clone_force_6952]

MusicPancho hell yes!! Even if in theory it’s a fairly simple drum part, The entirety of Concealing Fate blows my mind every time!!

[@Comaduster]

Yes! TesseracT -- not only for just the drumming either. That is some some top musicianship, songwriting, and production all around.

[@xenophagia]

Agreed

[@jaime21moreno]

This might be my favorite drummer I've seen on this channel. He's fucking wild

[@MrJakib1]

Yes! I've requested this video a handful of times! Great video as always, man.

[@TG-420]

Never clicked on a video so fast in my life, favourite reactor and one of my favourite drummers...

Keep pumping this out, I love it!

[@TheAuburnfan256]

Yoooo Garrett you did it! I was so happy when I saw you finally did this one! Thanks man.

[@xxSPiKeZxx326]

The analysis you always give was highly missed in this one. I LOVE your personality, keep it there! Nervous small talk? nah. But the great breakdowns you give with some heartfelt words? Yeah, keep that. It's why I'm a sub!

[@yOURCHRIST]

Luke is just my favorite drummer...he'd so solid, he can play different kinds of music and just good dude. Glad to see him here

[@sergiucampeanu7102]

Your videos got me through a 9-hour tattoo session as I binged watched all of them. I was laughing out loud to some of them, much to the confusion of the tattoo artist - but you really got me through the day :). I am not a drummer, in fact, I play no instruments, but I consider myself a geek of various things and a metalhead and that's what makes your reaction videos so entertaining because you are geeking out over the drumming you are watching :). But you also add another layer to it by offering some expertise, ie breaking down what it is that we are seeing from a technicall point of view. I am entertained and I am learning about drumming, thank you!

[@lucasflock]

I absolutely love that you can recognize and enjoy what some of these drummers do even though it's entirely not your background. It's impressive and shows your passion for drumming as a whole. So tight!

[@vanhalenfreak2000]

Recommend watching him play hos down!! He’s incredible at what he does. Very versatile as well

[@andras.89]

Mirrors playthrough by Him, that is some fine drumming too

[@ninjagrinder]

I'm a huge fan of Luke Holland and I hate to admit it: I had forgotten to suggest a reaction like this. That dude is sick and I'm so glad you got to experience it at last. Your reactions were so over the top and not without a reason. Keep 'em coming! please please react to Lyle Cooper - Planetary Duality and anything with nice quality from Flo Mounier, you won't be dissapointed.

[@gamesjunkie]

For what it's worth, Garrett, I like hearing you talk about stuff afterwards. I know very little on the technical end of music. I hear stuff, but I don't know terminology or understand certain techniques on the same level as you. That being said, I still enjoy watching your videos for your reactions and also to learn about some rad bands I've not heard of. Rock on, brother \m/

[@JRom_19]

no words needed, the faces say it all. love the videos

[@kirkxyza]

The talking is what many of us are here for. We can actually pick up things we didn't realise ourselves if we don't have a drumming background.

[@JamesYatestrickysnugglemuffins]

Love the commentary you provide on this! Would love to see you do more reactions to his stuff!

[@foundabandonednj9994]

Whoever told you that you talk too much is wrong. In fact, the way you analyze/break parts down provides a lot of perspective and insight. Keep it up man!

[@terryvoorbij6260]

My maan this is the BEST video youi've done!!!

[@isaacsoto6086]

That outro was fucking perfect. So pure and non scripted

[@frostythesasquatch]

Thanks for turning me on to this guy! I don’t know Jack about drumming. I just like watching and listening to really good drummers, so it’s really helpful for people like me when you break down the technicalities of what you’re experiencing (like you did on your George Kollias video). I love jazz and I love metal, and anything else that I can learn about instruments I don’t play will give me so much more appreciation for music as a whole.

[@DarthZehcnas]

Simple and direct I love this video

[@jail2634]

all the normal people already said this but it can't be stressed enough. your commentary makes these videos what they are and they are perfect. i like the way you explain things.

[@ridethewagon69]

Keep them coming..I've found a few bands from your videos that i enjoy... you're doing us drummers a favor with inspiration .

[@mataeria]

I personally like when you talk more and give us some kind of technical and style analysis from your jazzy point of view. Isn’t that the point of a reaction from another drummer? Otherwise I might as well just watch the video with a random friend. Loved the reactions regardless, Luke is a beast.

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

This.

[@ADEEZY1926]

How in the world would a jazz drummer or any drummer be able to analyze this performance? His mind is blown and he doesn't know what to say.

[@Swags456]

Smith drummers would recognize different techniques.....don't watch the video If you don't trust or want to hear his opinions. I'll never know why people choose to watch and do things they don't like just to complain about it. You're just pushing yourself into a negative. Why waste your time?

[@ADEEZY1926]

@@Swags456 well I watched it one time to see what he was going to say about the performance. Then realized the man was lost for words. It's nothing negative here, it's just that hes doing so many out of this world things in that performance. It would be very difficult for most to give an accurate analysis on this drumming.

[@christianvoller5275]

Love your reactions. Keep them coming.

[@dathioz]

Garret ... More talking is good ... Your comments always crack me up ! Aaaaannd ... Don't forget to do Thomas Pridgen, that guy is a beast

[@carlswanson808]

I was just thinking that Luke Holland reminds me of Thomas Pridgen and how applies some "Gospel Chops" concepts to post-hardcore/prog metal drumming.

[@SamLucas26]

Dude, been waiting for you to do Luke Holland for so long! Lol, love it

[@GT_0101]

I love the sound of this guys kit 👌🏻 amazing drummer 🤟🏻💯

[@crushingbelial]

Okay so 3 minutes in - this guy plays just beautifully. Clean, clear, covers the gamut of dynamics and technical wizardry.

[@LudwigPig]

I’ve been a fan of Luke going back to his “The Word Alive” days. He’s a phenomenal drummer. Jason Richardson is on the guitar.

[@drbon3262]

Finally a reaction without pausing the video every few seconds to talk about it, just raw reaction experience! Perfect imo

[@kshtirlitz]

Man, this is definitely your best video))) Much love from Moscow :)

[@BarstucksCoffee]

Interesting thing about Luke is that he's mostly self taught and came from a marching band background

[@RobCartwright]

I don't mean to be argumentative, but if he came from a marching band background, he's anything but self-taught. Marching percussion is basically constant instruction.

[@BarstucksCoffee]

Rob Cartwright I guess it’s just how Luke said he went by. I’m assuming he was a marching snare/tenor/quad drummer which probably doesn’t require the same type of coordination as a drum kit. That co-ordination is probably what Luke was referring to as the self-taught element. You could argue that it’s similar to learning how to play bass after being primarily a guitarist. Similar instruments, but the fundamentals and methodologies can be distinctively varied.

[@RobCartwright]

@@BarstucksCoffee Again, not trying to be argumentative, but in my experience, drumline requires the same or more coordination, particularly if you're playing at a high level.

[@fletcherhunt4374]

@@RobCartwright i wouldn't say high level, i mean HS marching band is as high as he went. kids a year younger than me and went to my rival high school. he was just starting to get his KZbin channel going in HS though and was learning kit while he was in marching band. beast either way!

[@user-fl6jf4pn2o]

Rob Cartwright As someone who has marched at a world class DCI level AND is a gigging percussionist pursuing a master’s in performance, I’m going to have to 100% disagree with you. Marching band, even at a high level, does not require the same type of coordination that playing drum set does at a high level. Does it require a high level of coordination? Yes, of course. I just haven’t seen it transfer to drum set in all of my experiences.

[@immortalicbrad5016]

Really enjoyed your input from a "Jazz Drummers Perspective" at the end of a video. Doesn't have to be a in-depth breakdown of the whole song, but stuff that stood out. Love your vids, keep em coming homie 🤙

[@shanecoleman]

That face at the end.. hahah this is part of the reason I love metal.. I got that look all the time. Nobody gets me

Loooved watching u react to Luke!! X) He's an inspiration, and on level of his own! XD

[@kerryburnham439]

This has gotta be some of the most innovative drumming and songwriting in general that ive heard

[@mutzeh]

The additional commentary is great, because you see and hear things in a far more nuanced way than I (and presumably many other drummers) can. I can't pick when he's incorporating various rudiments into drum fills and stuff, but you do it effortlessly.

[@aglees2b]

That was beastly good

[@drummingninja1065]

I remember watching Luke play ARB at like thirteen and just rip the song to shreds with his stick tricks. Years later, he's progressed so damn far. Home boy is making a name for himself!

[@LuisSilva-tq9sj]

The quality of drummers is increasing on a daily basis!! And that is because of youtube but especially because of extreme metal drummers that raise the bar constantly!! It's not just insane uncontrolled blasts like in the past. It's joining the speed to the stamina to the ultra-technical and deep knowledge of timing, rhythm, and drums theory. And you don't see even one of those arrogant jazz drummers in this bag...
