Luke Daniel Holland (born June 14, 1993) is an American drummer and musician, most popular for his YouTube videos. Luke was born in Peoria, Arizona. Despite his father being a professional drummer, Luke gained interest in the drums after hearing his neighbor playing at the age of 10.[1] Around the same time, Luke received his first drum kit. Self-taught, he played the snare drum in his high school marching band for a year and a half at Peoria High School.

At the age of 15, after playing for local band "Oceans Will Part," Luke took to self-promotion online, making a YouTube account in July 2009, under the name LukeHollandDrums where he started to post drum covers and remixes.[2] After some time, he started to gain more views on his videos and more subscribers. At the age of 16, Luke got a chance to stand-in as the drummer for Texas in July. Around the same time, Luke's YouTube page was noticed by Josh Chomik, a fellow YouTuber known for his comedy music. His popularity increased immensely, going from a thousand subscribers to over nine thousand subscribers plus in a few days.[1] From 2009 to 2016 Luke's YouTube channel has grossed over 340,000+ subscribers, and over 55 million views.[3]

Apart than YouTube, Luke is known for being a past member of metalcore band The Word Alive.[1] He played in the band from early 2012 to late 2016, leaving to pursue more activity on his YouTube channel, session work, giving drum lessons, and occasional touring.

In 2013, Holland was voted third on Alternative Press' Drummer of the Year, and second for Modern Drummer's Up & Coming.[1]

In 2014, Luke along with Issues vocalist Tyler Carter contributed a cover of Paramore's hit song Ain't It Fun for the Fearless compilation Punk Goes Pop Vol. 6.
