nothing is more beautiful than watching someone be so passionate about something. music seems to evoke this most from people. and you can read the passion in this kid with every movement. i love this shit.
What I appreciate most about this cover is that EVERYTHING is on time. He's right on beat. Non drummers probably don't realize how hard it is to keep beat with both hands and feet.
This drummer has earned my respect instantly from this video, as another drummer and artist i still find this very inspirational. To take a relatively simple song and put your own spin on it. Amazing.
Drums are really perfect for him. I've only watched two of his videos and I can see that he can't keep still when he's playing. That's why when there's a pause, he would keep adjusting his sitting position. Also those tricks he does are fascinating. I can't keep my eyes off his hands. I'm actually writing this comment after I watched the video. Shows how much my eyes are fixed to his hands.
I've been playing drums since I was 10 years old. But I ALWAYS loved drums since I was a little baby. And I watch your videos at least for one hour everyday and always picture my self as amazing as you are! You're my role model for drums and hopefully one day I can be as good as you are Luke. You are so amazing. I showed my parents your videos and they think the same!
Watched this video uncountable times, but listened to it for the first time using good headphones. Man the amount of detail I missed before... This video went from amazing to mind boggling
I love what you do to Ellie Goulding's songs. Although I like her voice, I don't really listen to her stuff because it always seems too cutesy and soft for my taste. But you add an edge, power and kick to it that makes me want to cry happy tears. I could listen to this and your Bittersweet remix all day long. (Actually, *all* the remixes.) Keep up the good work and- okay, I'm going to stop pretending I'm a serious person here. YOU'RE FUCKING AMAZING. KUDOS.
I keep coming back to watch this video because it it so outstanding. The amount of effort and skill you put into this is just incredible. Everything you wrote fits perfectly in this song. And these linear patterns are tough to play at this speed. Then the crazy stick tricks on top of everything - haters will hate the stick tricks but they would do the same if they could. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. And for free to boot.
I don't even know why I love this video so much but my brother showed me one of your videos once a while back and I just can't stop watching. Your technique is incredible.
You're an amazing branch of the human gene pool Luke. I hope that you never tire of this, and that you keep a positive mental attitude. I'll be watching you... on youtube.
life is short so its great that you do have a sense of humor and you enjoy what you do and u do it well thanks for your videos they're great inspiration
I saw Ellie Goulding live not so long ago and saw her drum her parts in this song and heard her drummer playing his parts, but in all honesty, I feel like this is much better. It sounds more complete than her playing it live. You never fail to go above and beyond the original work of the artists themselves by putting your own twist on it. Keep it up, dude!
The way u interpret these songs and just make them sounds completely your own is just something of another kind , keep it up man , you inspire me to get back on the kit every time i watch one of your videos :D
It's great to see you grow as a drummer and performer. You are clearly more comfortable now than your earlier vids, and you play with more confidence and authority. Keep growing and progressing.
Holy Crap. Your such an inspiration to me. How the heck are you so good? Just the way you play has so much emotion. Its drummers like you that make me better by just watching you. Amazing.
Ah, now I see why folks would probably dislike you. You're a talented musician and you work well with the music you involve yourself with. I can see people not liking all of the stick flipping and show you put in every other rest. I personally don't care because you're enjoying what you do, but I can see people disliking that pretty quick. Cheers man, keep playing. You've got my subscription.
this cover is freaking me out..is just amazing what you do with your sticks and how you play drums.you are one of my favorite drummers in the world.peace and love romania :)
Luke, in general i'm impressed with your willingness to correspond with your fans. It seems every video of yours I watch, you personally respond. Well done.
this guy just inspired me to fix up my old drum kit!!!
Remember when people were saying he was “too swaggy?” Now he does this for a living.
Well done Luke! You’ve smashed it!
This is definitely my favorite cover that you've done.
I just love some of his fills they sound almost drum-line esque and technical which just adds to each song.
I spit out my coffee at 1:14 - that's a new one, really cool
I came back after 8 years to this video, Luke you are a legend man!!
Stick juggling! That was frickin' amazing! :D
nothing is more beautiful than watching someone be so passionate about something. music seems to evoke this most from people. and you can read the passion in this kid with every movement. i love this shit.
TH-cam sucks, it only let me like it once. They need to have a button "I like the shit outta this!" CUZ DAMN ! Speechless ! Keep up the great work!
What I appreciate most about this cover is that EVERYTHING is on time. He's right on beat. Non drummers probably don't realize how hard it is to keep beat with both hands and feet.
So i just listened to the original and it's missing soooooo much. This completes it, seriously.
Been watching Luke since he was 16... it's crazy how far he's gotten. True inspiration to me, and many others as well, I'm sure.
1:13 dat backhand toss doe
just realized that, 4th time watching the video
what a legend

YOU ARE MY FAVOURITE HUMAN,LUKE

1:21 will ALWAYS make me laugh XD
+Brandon Chambers why?
Jamie White Because it is funny :)
its just him smiling though.... il smile for you if it gets you laughing :)
Jamie White yea, don't do that :)
worth a shot i guess
Watched this video uncountable times, but listened to it for the first time using good headphones. Man the amount of detail I missed before... This video went from amazing to mind boggling
I wish he would redo this cover will a deeper and more full sounding snare.. would make a world of difference
I love how your drumming brings out something from this pattern that is more body helpful than the original which focuses on the singer mainly

That Was SICKKK 1:13
seriously, this is one of my favorite covers
DAMN
I waited nearly 8 min for this to buffer and even though I have seen this countless times if was totally worth it! It will always be worth it!!!!!
Still my favorite remix
Ublaga I mean, the cinematography, the lights, the sound, and those freaking fills, this was the perfection of a drum remix
I don't even know why I love this video so much but my brother showed me one of your videos once a while back and I just can't stop watching. Your technique is incredible.
Burn _ Ellie Goulding Please!!!!!!
Best drummer ever. He hasn't even become as great as he is capable of becoming.
that smile... oh my days!
never fails to make a drummer happy by watching this
constantly watches 1:22 over and over
I heard this for the first time today and I haven't been able to stop listening to it man.
I would buy this if it was on iTunes. it's TOOOO good.
1:48.
You're an amazing branch of the human gene pool Luke. I hope that you never tire of this, and that you keep a positive mental attitude. I'll be watching you... on youtube.
WTF 1:14 LOL
I'm mainly a prog/deathcore kind of guy but this video introduced me to Ellie's music. Some of it is just fantastic.
*slurps on the screen*
life is short so its great that you do have a sense of humor and you enjoy what you do and u do it well thanks for your videos they're great inspiration
This is the drum part I was listening for when I first heard the original version-- Thanks
Everytime i hear this song without the drum cover i always tap my fingers to the drums that aren't there! Thanks Mr. Holland!
I love covers like this where the song just makes you happy and smile instead of when you're screamed at
This is probably one of my favourite covers you've done Luke. Minimalistic and tight as hell. Perfect drums to compliment the song. Well done!
Favorite video by FAR!!!!! Absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!!! He has grown so much....
amazing drumwork, but honestly the thing i appreciate most about these videos is how professional the videos themselves are

The way u interpret these songs and just make them sounds completely your own is just something of another kind , keep it up man , you inspire me to get back on the kit every time i watch one of your videos :D

It's great to see you grow as a drummer and performer. You are clearly more comfortable now than your earlier vids, and you play with more confidence and authority. Keep growing and progressing.

I have to say you are an amazing drummer. I watch all your drum covers and it makes me want to play the drums again. :)

One of the best drummers on youtube.
I love your style of playing and your music taste and the editing you include in your videos, you're just genuinely great
