Born in 1993 in Peoria, Arizona, Luke Holland taught himself to drum on tabletops long before he touched his first kit. By eighth grade he’d developed an uncanny sense of “feel,” playing with metronomic accuracy and a human pulse that set him apart from the start.

In high school Holland launched a YouTube channel showcasing his crystalline drumming style. His hands and feet moved with purposeful clarity, and his well-framed playthroughs blurred the line between tutorial and performance . Viewers found more than flashy fills—they found an unfiltered look at technique in action.

After touring with The Word Alive, Holland shifted gears to session work, earning the nickname “studio assassin” for nailing complex parts in two takes and delivering stems so clean they needed almost no editing. His blend of speed, musicality, and rock-solid reliability rewrote expectations for modern studio drummers.
