Luke Holland - CAFO - Animals As Leaders Drum Cover

Luke Holland, 18 years old, from Peoria, Arizona! My drum cover of CAFO by Animals As Leaders. This is the first song that really challenged me, stuff is intense. This was my 2nd take! Drumming in a garage, about 120 degrees, could hardly breathe, hell yeah. Filmed and edited by Greg Mitchell at ForeverRecordings, audio edited by Paul Vickery. Using my custom Luke Holland Seven Drumworks snare in this, and a STUDIO KIT, NOT MY OWN KIT.

I think this one deserves a redo Luke

[@DavidGamero]

lol how'd this get 116 likes without replies........ well here yah go

[@dantheman52420]

No disrespect meant of course. Would be cool to see how you play this song 6 years later.

[@DavidGamero]

why'd you reply to me with that....... lol did i just remind you to add another comment

[@dantheman52420]

Wasn't a reply to you. But yes you did

[@markdonbd]

well my request of redoing it would be to Animals as leaders instead haha

[@andrewlalanne]

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!

[@robertfennis6088]

The progress you have made in the last 5 years is incredible. GJ

[@stonededge696]

the snare sounds like a stone

[@KSE828]

yeah it sounds like he's drumming on a rock.

[@billgonzo116]

like a stone..great song

[@mercho_music]

So, it has the best Tom Morello's guitar solo?

[@carloronaldo6431]

He was once 250 pounds... After practicing CAFO three days straight... ...he now weighs only 15. #someonesendfoodtothisguy

[@raysty]

REDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE M9

[@juancruzcaceresmiranda3050]

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

[@milanb96]

this is just awesome. ive seen all of your drum covers. this amazes me. all of your covers do.

[@elasdickband027]

That snare sounds sooooo bad.

[@prometheusxc]

None of it sounds good tbh, but got damn that snare especially sounds like shit.

[@somzer]

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.

[@thomaskrausz8748]

Compare that to the snare in his Dark Matter cover.

[@onurguneri_]

why I think its good

[@battra5151]

Every time he hits the snare a Balloon is gone

[@user-sl7tm9mf8y]

Just came from your arithmophobia cover.... the change and progress is so incredibly impressive. I'd love to see you redo this one.

[@borntoball15x]

Oh my gosh! Sooooo much respect to anyone who can cover this song. Way to go!

[@Reaperoframen]

I appreciate how much work you put into this cover man. Tough to pull off, great job.

[@Churchboychris]

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.

[@ZombieStrantz]

Needs more stick flips.

[@davidmari9725]

in love with that snare

[@bored66213]

Love the way his snare sounds

[@EpicurusWasRight]

If you can keep up with Tosin you already won.

[@sciencebillnye]

Why can't we just appreciate this? It's a great song and a great cover.

[@BraydenCarlson]

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.

[@rwvisuals]

This guy is one of the best drummers I know! Big ups!

[@michtig]

why does the snare sound like he is hitting a brand new box of korn flakes?

[@rjfax704]

well damn, that's bold covering one of the most progressive songs of the decade

[@seemikehack]

You're an inspiration. I wish I could be as dedicated to things in my life as you are to your drumming.

[@DashHoundRacing]

Even the mixing is spot on, very well done.

[@poxidro0]

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? ;)

[@nicknelly1]

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

[@NathanEkema]

i love that kit!

[@kadaj0073]

This was really sick. I enjoyed every second of it. Good job, Luke!

[@alexelbarrios]

that snare tho

[@LeLuizFelippe]

poop snare

[@Skvffed]

Be sick if you redid this cover without the stick tricks and put all your focus into your playing. Beautiful cover regardless.

[@andrashka3]

so far one of hardest songs to play dude great job! keep it up!

[@JaxWil1]

I love the snare!

[@Ventruex]

Snare? ):

[@dickpalmer1290]

I dont know what you guys are sayin, I think the stick tricks are pretty sick

[@hezeocean8896]

I agree

[@JTMDrumming]

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

[@blueburnsred]

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 KZbin, imo. Kudos to you, Luke. Also, I'm so stoked to hear that you might do a Periphery cover!

[@tylermcilveen]

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

[@s3fron]

too much focus on stick throws...

[@Oblivion4pcand360]

That snare sounds like gonorrhea. The cover sounds better.

[@michaeltreser1435]

This young man is unbelivable ! Wich you the best for your future.

[@winkwoga]

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!

[@cassiomoreira2504]

i see very much double snare in audio...i'm right ?

[@lacesoutdan1885]

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.

[@smartin4052]

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.

[@DavidKataraGvozdenovic]

Great playing, shitty snare sound, even shittier headphones. Mah 2 cents

[@hezekiahocean981]

shut the fuck up and do a better cover

[@VenNoel]

HezeKiah Ocean he was just saying the snare sounds bad.

[@Kowinaida]

Well done Luke, very impressive & only made the more harder with that heat! Excellent.

[@laurensDG]

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!

[@Zrakow]

Best drum cover of this song on youtube! Good job!

[@ABR1fan]

Go check out Troy wright do it. It's flawless

[@triforceguitarist]

my goodness...i..i cant even comprehend how amazing that was.

[@iExisttt]

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.

[@SalsaTibor]

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.

[@TheSmileyFacedPizza]

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

[@axacingdude]

Dude amazing cover

[@jonahradosevich]

yeah... and i love your snare,, it has a nice sound!!!

[@user-cf3ft2bq3q]

Like, like, like!!!! Beautiful cover!!!!

[@commanderphilbo1471]

We get it luke ! You play the drums !

[@davidmari9725]

That snare sounds sooooo clean omg

[@Ursugarspice]

AWESOME!

[@ghilburt]

best one i've seen yet!

[@coolhandman]

Such a hard beat to master, and you have done it my friend!

[@satanfx55]

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!

[@Wesohleefox]

I think flipping the sticks on top of playing this is impressive.. Great job man!!

[@Mech2tx]

Beastmode!!!

[@mudmcgillicutty]

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...

[@soxe_haselink7706]

Awesome!

[@Snapsa100]

PERFECT!

[@MEYNOMTURR]

superawesome dude!!!

[@susej89]

you totally owned this song, kudos

[@codeezie]

dude this is nasty, by far your hardest cover (or most technical song it seems)... you are a beast, my friend.

[@TRIBULXTIONS]

Damn bro that was BADASS. Good job.

[@AreXweXaliveXBmore]

favorite band ever, and you killed this song dude,

[@_neto_luis]

hey Luke, great cover. one thing, what exercises do you recommend for me to be able to play the initial rolls? thank you!

[@katreenafaye]

awesome man!

[@Chrhab]

you pretty nailed it awesome!

[@jesselough]

Nice job on the fill at the end--you are drippin sweat dude haha. Well done.

[@TOTLUNIALAYSHUN135]

@LukeHollandDrums Hey Luke! Great cover, nailed it. What was the most difficult or straining part of this cover?

[@jacktoy8938]

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.

[@taylordoyle4927]

I've been watching this kid grow into the little killer he is today. Happy for your success ma

[@Awak3nBak3d]

Dude! fucking great cover! only person I've seen who does this good! Props for sure bro.

[@patulia]

nice dude!! good job

[@AcousticSerenity]

very amazing cover.

[@musicharrygiles]

baby luke has come so far

[@socc3rman101]

thats some sick drumming there bro! keep that shit up! earned a new sub.

[@MysteryPanda]

Beast!

[@bigxxbear69]

Good stuff man.

[@gummiedux]

superb!

[@ComfyNumb1989]

The part You added in at 2:29 works so well! :D Fantastic stuff! :D

[@dekk290692]

Mate this is friggin amasing considering i heard the drums were programmed on the album and not actually played! Bloody good job champ!!

[@SlamDuncDrummer]

Great job. Are you making any attempt to isolate your snare mic?

[@cheesecakerice]

damn you do an incredible job of matching stick heights. like around in the first part of the video when you do a right hand visual and switch to left to hit the china. it sounds the same as if youre hitting it with the right. and thats how it is with all of your visuals. veery nice

[@AAFANFORLIFE]

I love the snare

[@madococo]

FOCUS. FOCUS ! Damn it hurts me so much. Insane cover btw

[@FoetusInYourNoodles]

I agree entirely! I appreciate your input.

[@stadicreturns3209]

Idk About you guys but I love the snare, it fits the song perfectly

[@jacktoy8938]

Well done sir!

[@NNNicholson]

Props for playing such a difficult song, but still- flams. Flams everywhere.

[@blakeyboy2]

Theres no reason for people to dislike this video other than for jealousy. He looks so comfortable behind the kit.

[@AlexanderMarks]

How can people dislike this? This is dead on!

[@Jake_Powd]

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

[@SwissdRBum]

greatest respect from switzerland !! :)

[@H0022]

thats great! when i began my hands weren't straight, the thumb would be on top instead on the side, when later i found out the way your are supposed to hold the stick and positioning, everything became so much better

[@Nadan0302]

nice work man......

[@Dav3sterio]

I have lessons with you in April and I was wondering if you'd be able to give me some tips on the passage at 1:07(: Preferably when it switches to the ride.
