Luke Holland - Animals As Leaders - Kascade Drum Cover
Рет қаралды 1,446,452
9 жыл бұрынLuke Holland, 21 years old! I'm from Peoria, Arizona. This is the most difficult song I've covered to date, & the most time I've put into learning a song ever. Huge thank you to Matt Garstka of AAL for helping me with a few of the fills in the song. For example, at 1:38 & 2:42, Matt bridges pedals (by using 1 foot on 2 pedals) to get the double kick & opening/closing of the hihat sound.
The audio was recorded & mixed by Master Cameron Mizell of Chango Studios, all video was done by Prime Minister Jeremy Tremp.
Using my beautiful DW Collector's Series drum kit.
I am self taught!

***** while this video had none of the annoying stick tricks and show offy moments that pretty much all your other covers do, I still don't see why you have to put in the description you are 21 and "Self taught?" No other drummer does that...seems a little like bragging to me.

Steven Spahn Is it wrong he is proud to have taught himself to the point he is now? Not only that but some people may be curious of his age and whether he's had drum lessons. Annoying stick tricks? I always sense jealousy in comments like yours.

I do have one question for you Luke, how the hell are you so damn good when you do remixes and covers but your sound so basic in the Word Alive. I’m not trying to take away from your talent, but it just seems that it is so monotonous and boring. This is not a hate comment, just a legit question. I personally think you shouldn’t be in that band. I originally started listening to them because of you, but I fell in love with the lyrics though. The music has gotten really obnoxious and I really think you should just do stuff with guys like, I don’t know, Jason Richardson or, if time permits, Jared Dines. Keep going hard man!
