      Ben is the reason i got inspired to drum 5 years ago. His drumming is simple enough to enjoy it whilst learning and yet he loves to add stuff in to make sure you as a drummer are awake.
      And yeah, he has no issues with covers as we can hear!

      +YoutanPoluo IF I understand he runs it through an up tuner on one channel into a guitar amp and a clean bass through another with a multi switch into a bass amp. So he gets both at the same time and can switch between the two if he wishes. It is truly a unique style.

    • @TheKille22
      @TheKille22 6 лет назад +13

      You can take a guitar amp with a good bottom end for a dirty sound and a good bass amp for cleans and a switch/blend between the two. Take that and combine it with some fuzz and overdrive pedals for this distorted sound. Throw in an octaver, synth or envelope filter (or wah if you want more controll) for some extra fills and put it under controll with an EQ pedal and you are ready to go.
