Luke Holland The Word Alive "Play the Victim" Live

[@davulonix2393]

Luke is out of their league. They're lucky to have him.

[@posterchildx]

JankSmanks not everyone just wants to play constant fucking solos and dumb riffs. People do like to create catchy music, just as people like to listen to it.

[@posterchildx]

JankSmanks I know! Iwas talking about the guy who originally commented. people think that musicians just want to play complex stuff all the time and its not the case

[@fistfulobananas1943]

Davulonix Couldn't agree more. He should branch out. Wasted on this group.

[@mdmorris112]

+Fistfulobananas solo artist

[@Yaboyisaiahhh]

Well although I do think Luke is an absolutely fantastic drummer he’s not wasted on the band his skill just compliments the band like let’s say he plays a song that’s not very difficult for him he can be more in the pocket y’a know and sounds epic plus all the people in the word alive are very talented in their on regard so I don’t think your entirely right here but it’s your opinion

[@petestix46]

those cymbals are perfect for this type of music..sound like a boss..

[@tomkrausz2166]

I will never forget the time I got to meet luke holland. Best day ever man. Such a nice dude too

[@cd_core]

one the best live drum videos on youtube... been watching this one for years haha

[@MikeJunior94]

The bassist is all like: nobody can hear my notes anyway, might as well dance like a total lunatic xD

[@JoeyLeeDrums]

Dan is actually a great bass player and he kills it live

[@DRUMandSCOOT]

Joey Lee word to that

[@thehousemaderobot]

hahaha i think that sometimes when i see the bass player going nuts at concerts :P

[@dollayx8]

damn right he leads the audiences to dance like lunatic

[@LukaS-yn4ir]

its called stage presence smart one

[@EAHMusic]

3:05 That triplet part on the bass though. That's my favorite part.

[@stevenreyes005]

the double peds are driving me crazy!!! there is tremendous difficulty in playing that against your hands!!! great job!!!

[@hugorezende199]

stevenreyes005 they are indeed. You could check Aquiles Priester or maybe Dirk from Soilwork. Very hard stiff to play on double pedal. Not only on speed (like Nile) but on coordination.

[@hugorezende199]

Ghos notes at 2:00 maaan awesome. He is indeed an youtube drummer that plays fuckin well live with no editing and stuff like that. He has a great technique and creates awesome drum parts. Very clean and groovy.

[@XanderTheAwesome]

The ghost notes at 1:45 are such a nice touch underneath that entire part. This band is amazing, this drummer is great, and these cymbals are so NICE, super crisp and clean perfect sound for this.

[@Mp5Drummer]

I used to talk a lot of shit about Luke, but I dig this a lot. Seems he's concentrating less on stick tricks and more on sick parts now, he's definitely matured as a drummer!

[@wdrumz]

Gotta teach Cooper the same thing now haha

[@wirawhyra]

yeah, he has lessen his stick tricks

[@Wannalikemy]

Conor Burridge i know right. still hate him though. wayyyy to over rated.

[@danielmortondrums360]

that's ghost bro

[@silky2916]

do you know what ghost notes are alec?

[@isaiahryman3470]

well, you can't see his other leg and you can see him hitting the other drums the whole time. He is an experienced drummer, I would assume he is fast on single base, because you need to learn single before double.

[@wolvesonfire1]

such amazing snare work!

[@CharlieLord]

So its warm enough for no shirt, but cold enough for a beanie? 0_o

[@00741]

Luke is all about the style man

[@ATXmw1]

***** don't be bothered man. you kill it. that trash crash is a nice addition to your sound by the way. PERFECT off hand crash paired with the Byzance. Digs

[@hugorezende199]

Maybe he does. But those tunes seems to be really fun to play indeed. Im a fan of a half melodic vocals like that. Everybody is jumping.

[@hhaste]

Word*

[@Gwarrar02]

I think the craziest part of this video is that the dude chilling on the far side of the kit was their drum tech for luke, but he's the current full time drummer. I saw them live in denver and he is still setting up his own kit lol.

[@alessaziergener7861]

[@MuseDrummer1993]

Hi Luke, I would really appreciate it if you made a vid about the riff from 0:45 - 1:10. I reallly like that part and I want to learn it as you play it.

[@MuseDrummer1993]

[@marcnmyatt7039]

Jordy Vanhentenrijk he breaks down the song on his website.

[@wdrumz]

I can't get into this kind of music or drums. I've tried to keep an open mind but it just doesn't make me feel any kind of rush or anything. Solid playing, not my cup of tea. Some of those breakdown parts just don't flow right to me, I don't know..

[@vincealbertmusic]

You're not alone. :p

[@wdrumz]

Patrick M. I want to like all music as a drummer and all but it's hard. But yeah you are right, you could easily butcher someone on here about it haha.

I had the same feeling when i play this kind for the 1st time ... I can't feel the breakdown. Then i practice and try to listen more about 2 or 3 months. so now i can play a bit better :) what im trying to say here that you should keep practicing a little bit more. may be it will work, like me !! :D

[@wdrumz]

thanks for the tip.

If you want an explanation by Luke of of a groove idea similar to that one at 1:46 look up Luke Holland "ghosted groove" I think it's on the Drums 180 channel. Cheers biiiie :)

[@brandong453]

it sounds like he is doing parradiddles between his snare and bass drum.

[@MattyNarmis]

did the singer pour Monster on the back of his head? at 4:32

+Kerim Luca I'm mad late dude, KZbin never tells me when people reply. But I love it. It's definitely Different. Happy that my favorite singer is back. And my favorite track on that album is definitely utopia.

[@KerimLuca]

Scott Bowers Not a problem, man! I love it aswell and Utopia is sick, but my favorite track is Hexes, just the atmosphere alone gets me every time I hear it. One thing I miss is the "heaviness" though. I really miss the screams/shouts.

[@ZippyBumpHD]

What's recording the sound? Good sound,lol

[@AaronSmithchyeaah]

I think they took the audio from what the mics picked up because I don't feel like a go pro could pick up those ghost notes that clearly hahaha

[@ZippyBumpHD]

AaronSmithchyeaah That's what I thought aswell...

[@meinlcymbals]

MxZ ZippyBumpHD Regarding the sound you hear with this video - 1.) It's always somewhat left to chance how the audio will turn out in many of these live and very much on-the-go videos. That being said, the only issue with the audio in this video is that the mic on the Zoom was simply too close to the hihat. So when Luke goes to the hihat, particularly when he plays it closed, you can hear the mic "clipping." 2.) Provided you are listening to the video through decent ear-buds or head phones or decent speakers connected to your computer, you should be able to hear a reasonable audio recording based off of the Zoom Q3HD which was one of three cameras used to record this. The other two cameras are the Go Pro Hero 3 Silver edition model. Their audio is nowhere near as good as the Zoom Q3HD, so that is why I went with it for the sound. (-Chris)

[@JkDubbed]

He doesn't use a monitor or clicktrack? damn!....

[@bakr3106]

you can see the cable for his in ears running down his spine :)

[@Swedish_Drummer]

I really don’t want to come across as a know-it-all, but I thought for future videos that you maybe could take the sound from the mixer. Just to get a slightly better audio.

[@bryanhuertero3579]

+Brandon Chambers thanks

[@anthonplake]

not a big fan of how he splits up time in fills, but you have to give him major props for the talent to do it. The stuff he writes isn't easy to play by any means. Some of his fills just don't seem to fit into what the rest of the band is playing, but maybe it's just me

[@SmangItDrums]

Not trying to be mean or harsh, but that's honestly what makes his playing so distinctive among his contemporaries. Metal (especially metalcore) at its most straightforward can come off ver monotonous to some. Luke is applying his take at blending modern metal with a hint of Gospel and djent grooves. Like it or not, he's paving the way for other drummers in the genre, as well as younger drivers who aspire to be and play more like him.

[@wdrumz]

I agree 100%. Just doesn't flow all together nicely. Then again I really don't like this kind of music no matter how hard I try.

[@paucceri]

***** no need to 'TRY' to like something. either you like it or you don't. what's there to prove

[@wdrumz]

paucceri Trying to see if I just was being cocky about it for no reason but I've humbled myself to listen to it and tried to enjoy it and I can't. Nothing to prove I figured maybe if I could like it I could learn a lot of neat stuff but not much interested me.

[@paucceri]

***** that's fine, there are lots of musical styles i'm not into, even though i'm sure i could learn cool stuff from them. the best way to learn licks and styles and grooves is to listen to the music you like, and go from there.
