Awesome interview! Luke would totally fit as Ellie's drummer, I've seen her 2 times live and she has GREAT energy!

[@battra5151]

Meh, Luke would had to follow the original notation of every song, so it would be a great drummer stuck in the 1% of his hability, another example, Matt Mcguire, joined chainsmokers and his stuff in concerts is not even half of a half of what he can do, in TWA, With Jason Richardson he's brings his talent out, and tbh i enjoy him doing at his best, being creative, being what he is, one of the best drummers if not the best on the world.

[@SofiaLohse]

Thanks KZbin for recommending me this. I've watched all Luke's videos and thought he is extremely talented drummer... Now all I think is that he is cutie pie😊😊😊

[@bekacynthia]

I really love this "kid", he's super tallented and my best inspiration to play the drums!

[@HolySticks10]

Thank you for being one of the few people who have these interviews and doesn't over do it as a host. Excellent job and excellent interview!

[@smalls4717]

Finally youtube recommends something good hahaha

[@MattCooperDrums]

Good on you Luke! You've been a HUGE inspiration to me since before your cinema cover and I've always been keen to learn your awesome, creative fills! Keep smashing it out there bro, your the reason I started my drum covers man, keep doing what your doing! And come back to Adelaide Australia! 👌🏾👌🏾

[@Badalabandabad]

I'm so happy I saw this!

[@hermesjunior0]

This guy is a drummonster!

[@cryptz2804]

I love luke so much i wanna be as good as him :'(

[@orionp.9476]

+Cryptz He was ambitious when he was a kid, he always wanted to be the best and even he mentions that him being arrogant at the time thought he could do it better. And it might sound like a bad thing, but it's really not. Be ambitious, and train hard on the drums if you really want to put the effort and dedication into it, you'll probably be better than him one day.

[@phillakai321]

Love those invertiews! one of the fewest non-akward interviewer haha ! Keep it up

[@eduardaxavier8531]

I definitely expect Dark Matter to be TWA's greatest album, considering how sick Sellout sounds. Can't express how excited I am!!!

[@yeggs24]

Eduarda Xavier couldn't of been more wrong hahah

[@joshuanapier8241]

@lukeholland Luke, you really inspire me as drummer. More than anyone really. At the same time, you make me feel like shit because I am nothing compared to your talent. You are that good. I am 20 years old so about the same age as you. I guess I'm not good because I never took it seriously when I was younger, but now I see drums are my life and I want to make a career out of it. What would you say is the most important thing I need to start doing or practicing to achieve that lifestyle? Also, I know you are drum instructor as well. Do you ever do any teaching in FLORIDA, I'd pay anything just to be able to learn from you.

[@AaronCunningham]

So hilarious! I started KZbin in the exact same way (different channel). Wanted to cover Fat Lip better than the last guy with bad timing and tons of positive comments. Those old video responses, man… Just demanded the one-upsmanship. Haha

[@highradicals]

Hey I still like his eleventh hour cover

[@dan_h2o_drums]
