Lindsey Raye Ward - Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed (Drum Cover)

[AlexLouren]

Your inspiration.. your dedication...

Bliss or assassination?

Compulsion... and I am short of breath.

Imprisonment - since I'll listen it till death.

Coercion? Manslaughter?

This cover and NOTHING after!

It's killing me softly - for I love it more

than original track, shot of vodka and wh*res.

;) Keep on working, blondie.

[huhhuhwhatwhat]

your form is excellent. continue to upload, you are a pleasure to watch!

[IRoxesI]

I don't care what anyone says, this beats Luke Hollands. Luke tried to hard to make it all super complex. You made it perfect, well freaking down!

[ForgetTheForgiven]

@IRoxesI Lol most of Lukes was improved. Why do we need to compare everyone?

[IRoxesI]

@ForgetTheForgiven I know his was improved. I see all the other comments comparing them so i made my comparison :)

[Drumlink93]

Great verse pattern!

[gerbear3]

Did you get any inspiration for this from Luke Holland's version?

[Ch0colatepuff]

Can't...uh...the approach is so...mmm! I can't make words accept for, like, this black "mmm!" know what I mean?

[KirkyDaTurkey]

flippin BEASTMODE



[markisalegend]

Your Hot

[AeroH0lic]

@markisalegend You're*

[acipshah]

Honestly best cover taking accounts of the creativity handling n timing. Like is as always, too fucking over. Not always a good thing

[PatrickkD3]

boner.... o.o

[HCMetalhead2010]

It got a Luke Holland'y feel to it. NIce job!

[UltraViolet165]

Dear god your wonderful.

Simply amazing. <3

[freakedjerkheart]

Very well done. gonna vote as , 2nd best cover of starry eyed next to Luke Holland's :)

[Brudelay]

@freakedjerkheart I feel this cover does better justice to the song overall. Luke's is too over the top. I know he does it on purpose and he is super good but Ellie would rather have 'comearoundphoenix' in the rythm section based on this cover alone. damn Im long winded.

[KTAYthaDRUMMER]

Sooo. My goal is to be as good as you one day. haha.

[drummerelle]

what mixing software do you use?

[deanm4290]

awesome playing lindsay! just wondering, did you put a gate effect on the snare channel? also ellie's boyfriend went to my school haha, just thought i'd slip that in. keep up the playing :)

[ChrisThatOneGuy]

I like the part where she played drums

[dianatakehara]

holy shit a girl whos good at drumming

[breathelovecurebeats]

is luke holland your boyfriend?

[hottubsplash]

alot like luke hollands cover ?

[JJJJJESSIEJ]

your amazing!

[angeldrozdz]

So I gotta say...I have watched this video a ridiculous amount of times and still get goose bumps each time I see you play this track! AMAZING!! You're an anomaly!!

[drummerelle]

how did you get endorsed by TRUTH drums ??? your great!!!! well it seems i've answered my own question lol. but for real, how?

[jepoy0891]

Girl drummers are always a win!

[rvk1994]

if i can just say you will destroy cymbals hitting them like that and having them that tight on their stands :/ AMAZING cover though, try hitting them across as opposed to hitting them directly in the centre. that's how you get cracks. keep it up :)

[thekillersp4rtan]

how do you have cobus mixing your stuff??? (this drum cover is sick! btw)

[RealMcAhole52]

she is better than me.....you should like start a relationship with luke holland.

[jptm92]

good lord this is amazing, and cobus mixed it? women usually have to try very hard to keep rhythm it's not as natural for them, but you seem very natural i'm impressed, and thats not easy

[dta86]

you were clearly born to drum, please don't ever stop!

[RustyBovine]

My God! amazing

[blakeframe]

Marry me?

[sinnano77]

hoy shit!

[reloud37]

I just love this song :D and you did a very good job in covering it ;D

Only the bass drum sounds a little boomy,you may wanna add some more high eq to it for more attack.

Keep up having fun with drums!!!

Greetings from belgium :)

[gorefest31]

If you haven't already you should check out Theophilus London's version of this song. Its pretty much the same song but with a jazzy hip hop twist :)

[alexcal001]

I never tire of watching you kisses

[TheUnseenevangelist]

Cutie! :3 

[Brudelay]

this is ultra amazingly fantastical.your talent broke my youtube

[ozdrummer91]

I wanna have a duel drum sesh with you. Seriously.

[DPJFagan]

You are the most amazing girl ever.

[MintahDrums]

I actually love this WAY more than lukes version, and trust me i don't say that very often. MAN I WAS IMPRESSED. grreeeat job !! :)

[ipreferexpostory]

........(not trolling).............

[PentucketXC05]

What's with the super tight right side crash? Great cover though!

[ronied125]

@PentucketXC05 probably a 18" A Custom China

[Davi2810]

@ronied125 from the sound of it and look, might be a Oriental 18 China.

[ronied125]

@Davi2810 ya you're actually right. I didn't see the cymbal description until now :P

[michaela8372]

awesome!

[derekdco]

muy buena



[lautaropelotudo]

esta rre ajustado ese crash :S

[thenextbarbie1]

YOUR MY HERO:) LOL

[Jadebeet]

That tight crash bugs me so much.

But the drumming is so good. I love it.

[ipeteagles]

YEAH GET IT GURL!!!

[littledrummer1994]

I really like how you play and I agree with @drummerdude6670. I've seen girls playing weakly, your touch is incredible.

Subscribed. keep playing!

[Andrewvictory]

You have such Great style.

[fretlessbass]

i think i actually like this better than luke hollands version. aside from the video/audio quality, but thats to be expected kinda

[mummasaysrock]

Great drumming!!

[tisBenG]

just out of curiosity why do you have one crash really tight?

[aussiedrummer100]

I see some luke holland beats in this cover :) Amazing cover! :)

[TrepidationDrummer]

That 2nd verse pattern...Holy Fuck!

[jpjs28]

Need more awesome women drummers in the world. Keep kicking ass!

[JoshJakolaMusic]

best girl drummer on youtube

[changin777]

[ronied125]

This is really good. What kind of mics are you using? Keep up the good work! :) Btw, when you have the time, you should check out my cover of the song too! Although I think you played it better! lol.

[chad50680]

[WillJukedTheBox]

[mikekrazz]

[BigbossJ4MES]

You and Luke Holland could make a seriously talented baby...

[oyeboy94]

I must say, you have excellent taste in music. And you're a darn good drummer.

[carolfariap]

The awesomeness of this video goes beyond the like and favorite buttons!!!

[PennyPlatypus]

I love you. Like, I seriously love you.

[rogue0567]

ASDKFHLKJHSAD MARRY ME

[piwko123]

I love your mine When you focus on play

[Kristoffer2791]

Girls and drums, could it get any better? Eating bacon while watching would be legen - wait for it - dary

[GoingUpsideDown]

DAMN GIRL, FREAKING AWESOME DRUMMING. 

[mastercool59]

I was feelin that breakdown, nice cover

[launterluva654]

2:34 SUPERSPEEED

even tho ik its juss bad quality

[TheRunnaMAN]

You're a machine

[nicelw]

You are amazing, for me a bomb!!! love u ...:)

[MalSalmo]

Here is my critique. I really liked this cover, because it's completely thought up by you, which is fantastic. I wish more people would make their own fills and PERSONALISE the covers. however, I felt this lacked flow. There's so much drumming in the song and while it still sounds good i thought it needed to breath more... if you know what i mean.... love your covers btw dont stop :)

[ProfessorCaai]

i fancy you with a passion.

[SuckMyAnus42]

Serious wrist action, lucky boyfriend

[DrumlessDeath]

@SuckMyAnus42 her boyfriend is cobus :D perfect couple right?

[mmmF00d]

@DrumlessDeath ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?

MIND. BLOWN!

[streetfast234]

@DrumlessDeath =O

[tara3411]

@SuckMyAnus42 i know what you mean you made my day <3

[samueldl722]

@SuckMyAnus42 Vice versa. Cobus is her boyfriend. :D Excellent job Lindsey! :D Keep at it! :)

[BrandonGH5]

holy crap that was awesome...you rule.

[snareplayr23]

2:09 BREAKDOWN!!!!!! :D Dope as fuck. All around solid cover. 

[thisepicchapter]

Luke Holland is amazing....don't get me wrong....but I honestly like Lindsey's better. It's not so over-the-top as his is. Lindsey knows how to make a song still sound like a song....Luke Holland's is SOOO over done I don't even recognize the song.....

[jwdrumplay]

Good cover

[Triforceguardian1]

Another great cover, you are amazing, I'm in love <3

[TylerJohnsonSK8]

Luke Holland wrecked you with the cover... sorry.

[xTIBeRIUSx88]

good cover + shes hot lol

[elhijoezu]

Guys this not neary as good as Luke Hollands cover and never will be check it out no offense

[omgitsme0909]

wow i play drums bt not as good as her

[Jadebeet]

My favorite cover of any song on youtube. SO clean and good. Love it.

[drummerboii15]

@Jadebeet Lol, have you heard of Luke Holland's version. Mindfuck and a half.

[rhendrix89]

Not only is this the best cover of this particular song, but the best drum cover out of all the Ellie Goulding songs. You pay attention to how the drums should work with the music, and still and plenty of flair.

[iplaydrumsye]

if you use logic to record your drums, i'll mix them for free if you send them :)

[Sam10830]

nice chair :D

[getfly1234]

You are straight up amazing. Nice Fills. You aren't just "Amazing for a girl." you are Amazing all around! You are B.A!!!

[GabeDrums]

Not just "good for a girl"

[Wesk4z]

Cool stuff for sure !

I thought Emmanuelle Caplette was the only good female drummer around.

[Destefied]

I got your mics.. They don't sound as good as yours though :o

[bmxer1478]

2:38-2:45 a lil cobus flavor!

[danielmezadrums]

Geez woman! you killed!! wow

[insidejasz]

That's the girl version of COBUS !! haha

[DarknessDrawsCloser]

Only major thing I noticed is the quad fill at 1:28 could be touched up a bit, unless you were going for more of a flam sound. Still awesome though :D

[drummerdude6670]

NOt to sound prejudice against girls, but I've never heard a girl drum like this before. You have crazy good skills. Like fo reals. You blew my mind.

[Nikali3990]

Nice chops!

[GirlDrummerTH]

marry me please ! <3

[harstar12345]

and i jizzed in my pants

[howiehoward]

I wanna cover your cover! Beautiful!

[Soty47]

i want this girl :)) :D

[musicjunkie295]

Oh, and Ellie Goulding rocks my world too. :P

[musicjunkie295]

You are frickin AMAZING! I almost cried. This was awesome. Keep at it girl. :)

[Senosuke228]

I googled your name and all I saw was a naked fat chick...

[jackiecas1]

this is friggen amazing. love it!

[IVIarZ]

Hey Lindsey, I love the video! I was just wondering though at 0:37 are you doing a single stroke roll? Thanks, can't wait for future videos!

[lilreno78]

good work! sounds like you need to adjust the EQ's on your drums though. Also, try adding a compression and a little reverb, it will make a huge difference.

[taco8738]

hey im good at the drums i lov them:)

[scudderforthewin]

this is amazing!! but it shouldn't be called a cover, seeing it's nothing like the original haha

[superduperdrummerboy]

You and Luke holland kill this song...I'm really tempted to lien it now

[RyShau9294]

I have to say that I listened to the original version of this song after hearing this and it was not nearly as good without your drums to back it up.

[davecampos04]

awesome kit! haha lovin it! \m/

[bam11493]

okay i was going through your vids. lol yeah.

[Jellymann]

Sweet drum kit.



[sidewindah]

OMG I LOVE YOU LINDSEY!!!!! ARE YOU STILL NOT MARRYING ME?? PLS DONT IGNORE THIS COZ IT'S ALL CAPS!

[drums0012]

One of the best drummers on youtube keep posting :)

[sonyskunk92]

hey we have the same throne ^.^

[Legacy32CF7]

Ill be honest you kick my ass on the drums and i cant say im even mad because i just love anyone who shares the same passion for drums that i do

[YeeahCrazyGirl]

omg awesome !

[meSSican80]

Sick cover and awesome drum kit. Your covers are so good, thank you!



[ChrisRmv]

I like how you smile so much during this song.

[LuiszorMedellin]

omg

[AaronWithers1]

yeah im diggin the groove at 1:09. good cover, come check out my cover of this tune !

[JohnWatsonDrums]

1:09 So ridiculously creative. I'm going to have to try and learn that groove.

[t1tan14]

ummm, I love you...

[Deadrocks]

I'm looking at it....

"In a relationship with Cobus Potgieter."

[jeremiahlimsf]

cobus should do this cover too. :)

[brianxj]

imho, This is > (Luke H.+ Cobus P.)

[elhondureno23]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[metalsk8ter14]

i actually prefer your cover over Luke Holland's, mostly because, yours is decently complicated, yet easy to follow, unlike luke's which is almost over complicated. yours is simple but stays interesting through the whole thing. one of my favorites by you, and on youtube altogether.

[airsoftdrummer101]

oh course your last name is Goulding?!

[2009ianodoyle]

really good :)

[AdamSiren]

1:11... best groove EVER! sooo catchy!!!!

[ChrisRmv]

Your style does resemble Cobus's a lot. It's amazingly fluid.

[Donm4th]

Awesome. Novice guitarist and I'm loving playing this as a backing, steps it right up. I'll be looking for more of your stuff. I hope you ignore the worthless negative comments below. Wish you the best.

[wyzapple]

Great cover...only better!! Things are changing for you and we are happy for you sister. So many blessings, keep your foundation. Stand on solid rock,...and we know who that is;) Bye

[thisepicchapter]

I'm pretty sure this is my FAVORITE cover by you!!! So awesome!! :D (thumbs up if you agree!)

[tikarina02]

wow that was amazing! you made the song 10000000000x better, you're so awesome :)

[rufusvanrugburn]

very good

[AlexisG73]

You need to do some EQ tweaking on your toms. They sound like mud. Your snare sounds nice. =)

[pescalante2]

most of the song is too busy for it's own good oh and loosen the crash on your ride on your right a lot more unless you want to break it in about a month

[pescalante2]

that fill in the beginning isn't understandable and is all over the place, practice it more and then use it in your videos, better to sound good everywhere than good and sloppy

[Darkangelike]

I am so thrilled ! You covered Ellie Goulding, my favourite artist !!! I loved it, I don't know much about drummer thing but it was great ! I will definitely watch all of your Ellie Goulding's cover !!!

[josealan77]

uishhhhhhhhhhhhh mamasiiitaaa



[saqeeb]

Wow.

[flipchick88]

Dang! my jaw was open the whole time in amazement at how smooth you are!
