The band have had much global success in recent years and their chart topping single Rather Be went multi-Platinum in the UK to accompany its video’s 380 million views on YouTube.
Patterson has been developing a hybrid kit using Sakae’s acoustic drums, hoping to create a versatile setup that can achieve the organic subtleties from an acoustic drum while supported by electronic sounds.
He commented: “Having used solely electronics for the majority of touring, I soon realised that for my sound to develop I had to involve acoustic drums, so choosing the right kit to compliment my electronic sound was something I had to get right. I’d heard great things about Sakae and as soon as I had a chance to try them out, I was blown away. The sound these drums produce is incomparable and I can’t thank Sakae enough for letting me be a part of their team. They’ve already been an incredible helping hand and I look forward to my future with them.”
Luke plays a Sakae Celestial Mappa kit plus Maple Effect snares and a Bubinga 13” main snare.
