OMGoodness .... With my BOSE headphones on .. WOW ... these drums sound so good .... and Benny is just Benny .. amazing feel, groove, skills, etc....... always a treat to listen to..... Thanks for posting and keep doing so. ... luv it
Sand hats are so amazing and versatile. Matt Garstka uses them in animals as leaders and still cuts through and sounds perfect. Matt halpern has used them in periphery, and I've basically seen drummers of all genres and styles play them and they fit in perfect no matter what. Meinl really nailed it with the sand hats and also the sand ride but I find the sand ride doesn't cut through as much as I would like, the bell is fine but crashing it alittle in a rock setting gets kinda drowned out but in the practice room the 22 inch sand ride, 22 inch extra dry medium ride, and the transition ride are prolly my 3 favorite rides of all time. For live I bust out the beastly serpents ride with that big cutting bell that sounds beautiful in a metal rock setting and has a good enough crash cause I picked out a lighter version and the crashability is great, and u can't go wrong with the 22 inch traditional medium ride. Has a pretty good bell and great crashability. But the sand hats hold their own in a loud setting and in a setting like this video. Props to Meinl and Benny for coming up with some amazing hats that are different than anything else other brands offer.
I love how Mr.G pushes the groove slightly back an forward and the vocals are great. If you haven't already got the new album.. Get it! You won't be disappointed. I liked it so much I bought it twice.. Once on cd and on Vinyl ;D
Haha that would be great. Check out his bonus content from Art and Science where he shows how he tunes his floor tom. I got mine to sound almost identical from following it.
Bit random but... I've just put Evans Hydraulic clear on my 16" floor tom and put the batter head that replaced it on the bottom which is a G2 clear (not that used)... Surprisingly sustained and incredibly thunderous. It's like a mini open bass drum.
If Benny's drums and cymbals hooked up with Anika's drums and cymbals it would be world domination with a dry crash and and a to die for floor tom. The future is now.
Am i the only one who realizes that he doesn't have the cymbal tuners on anymore while he plays? It was his idea with meinl, and now it's like Benny just said: "Ok you know what? Screw those tuners, they're shit, i'll just let them know that it exist."
Funktionary absolutely. i was so excited for this and then boom it hit me like hardly anything before when it comes to gear - total failure. no matter where you place them, it completely dampens my cymbals.
Does anyone know what mic set up Benny is using? I see a suspended condenser on the snare, one floor and two overhead condenser mics, kick mic, and tom mics of course. But, what type of mis are they! I have searched the internet to no avail.
Bad directing switching between the 2 shots. Please don't do that again, is confusing for the viewer. Love you Benny ! Please give us Greborchestra next !
Jumping-Jack official Ohhhh, lol. Yea they should just cut that. I know it's a "meinl" video but he keeps his gear updated on his page. WE JUST WANT THE MUSIC!
That snare just blew a hole through my chest. Holy crap.
Drum Beats Online his snare drum reminds me a lot like Vinnie's on Soul cages with sting. take a listen to the albums and decide for yourself
That's Manu Katche on Soul Cages. Incredible drumming on that album... tasty, smooth, and great drum sounds.
Benny's got the ABSOLUTELY best drum sound ever. GOSH.
Dude you're everywhere
One of the best drummers in my opinion!!
THE best drummer in my opinoin!! haha
I need a new phrase, because "In the pocket" is an understatement for this....
Benny is without a doubt one of the most musical drummers I have had the pleasure of hearing, the orchestration and phrasing is perfect.
OMGoodness .... With my BOSE headphones on .. WOW ... these drums sound so good .... and Benny is just Benny .. amazing feel, groove, skills, etc....... always a treat to listen to..... Thanks for posting and keep doing so. ... luv it
Funky! That opera roar was Epic!

I'm thinking: if I could only live inside that floor tom, my life would be complete
I love how Mr.G pushes the groove slightly back an forward and the vocals are great. If you haven't already got the new album.. Get it! You won't be disappointed. I liked it so much I bought it twice.. Once on cd and on Vinyl ;D
Beautiful video to watch and listen,By a Master drummer ,Thank you Benny well done .
Fenomenal definicion de sonidos sin la nesesidad de semejante brutalidad de golpe!
Fenomenal tecnica y porsupuesto cada instrumento!
Annother sample for his musicality. Chapeau. Greetings from germany Christoph 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
you never fail to impress me , love your playing and the dynamic controls.
I just realized that the shots in the yellow coat he is in the middle of stacks of chairs. Wild!
Looks like Heisenberg found a new profession.
Boston Chris Breaking Benny🔬
Amiel Moodley Grebberg
Heisengreb
Smash Mouth I like that better lol
From the looks of the one Heisenberg, yes. But Benny and the "uncertainty principle", that doesn't work for me... ;)
Do I just think everything he does is amazing or is it actually tasty when he crashes twice at 2:25
quite tasty, he slides in and out of the back beat in a way that's so smooth
It IS really tasty... and what's more exciting, is that I CAN PLAY IT!! Love this guy.
Lev Freedman the tastiest
super tasty
O Benny toca d+🇧🇷🇧🇷👍🙋
Give us the benny greb pre tuned signature floortom please :)
Casper Abeln (Metalfabius) pleaseeeeee!!!!!
Casper Abeln (Metalfabius) just turn the knob on the drum to "artillery barrage" and that will do it.
Haha that would be great. Check out his bonus content from Art and Science where he shows how he tunes his floor tom. I got mine to sound almost identical from following it.
he puts a peace of cloth inside it doesn't he ?
Bit random but... I've just put Evans Hydraulic clear on my 16" floor tom and put the batter head that replaced it on the bottom which is a G2 clear (not that used)... Surprisingly sustained and incredibly thunderous. It's like a mini open bass drum.
Definitely a relaxed groove I can jam to. Smooth performance!
killer killer drummer! u can almost taste the groove...
Das groovt so unglaublich derb...
So cool and collected
Ahhhh it's an inspiration watching these thank you meinl and benny he's really into scatting
Classic Performance!!
Such cool videos by Benny
we all want to see videos from the festival Mr. Meinl
always an inspiration for me!!!!!!! THE BEST
Probably the nastiest groove I've ever heard.
The best Music the Word! Thanks
BG the entire package - next piano? FANTASTIC
Amazing Sound🔥🔊🔥🔊🔥
제가 좋아하는 드러밍 ㅋ
If Benny's drums and cymbals hooked up with Anika's drums and cymbals it would be world domination with a dry crash and and a to die for floor tom. The future is now.
Cinceramente hacia mucho tiempo que no veía algo tan bueno Muchas felicitaciones! !!!!
So much imagination and technique, incredible Guy !
he is cool
groovy refined savage beast. i like listening to this when i unload the dishwasher
O cara q sabe tocar a gente admira
That is one killer kit sound🥁🔊🤪
Grateful 4 Greb!
1 word instead of 3 is fine by me.
Damn fine track Benny! As groovy as groove can be, as always.
Halleluja, sehr beeindruckend.
Such a juicy groove. Holy shit.
Awesome !!!
Meinl me da um Ride pelo amor de Deeeeeus. Kkkkk
Incrível, melhor marca de pratos do mundo!
The best sounding drums in the game
OMG! This is amazing!!!
Benny a gift from god to all drummers. Pray
totally sick beans
If you have the captions on at the beginning it reads, “Thank you don’t sleep then the bling with you”.
The Groove God is Back :D
see there's good... then there's Greb
anything you do is the right way to do it
I didn't know Walter White could play drums. Awesome video! Delicious groove!
I aspire to play like you one day
Unique
I've heard groove is a word in drumming... looked it up saw this guy...
Lovely, as always that Benny does !!! When we can watch some of the Meinl festival !!!?
YES!!!!!
he's making an amazing drum sound and at the same time looking almost sleepy...XD
Cool wise guys cover.
I don't think it's gonna rain in that small room ;)
Haha!
Grandeeeeee
Im curious how the auxiliary kit was miced up. I hear it jumping out as a nice wide image. Curios minds over here! Absolutely wonderful series!
i would kill a baby with my bare hands to know how you tuned that snare drum xD
GOAT
Grooviest drummer? I feel so
BENNY DOES IT AGAIN AMAZING FELL AGAIN AND SOUND COME TO NEW ZEALAND PLEASE
groovy
Can we all take a moment and appreciate his voice...I'm a drummer tho...
Isso é AXÉzera.
Am i the only one who realizes that he doesn't have the cymbal tuners on anymore while he plays? It was his idea with meinl, and now it's like Benny just said: "Ok you know what? Screw those tuners, they're shit, i'll just let them know that it exist."
Funktionary Or perhaps this song just didn't call for them? Lol, they're non-permanent for a reason.
Funktionary absolutely. i was so excited for this and then boom it hit me like hardly anything before when it comes to gear - total failure. no matter where you place them, it completely dampens my cymbals.
Watch the video until the end. He has a cymbal tuner on his ride that he talks about.
Yes that's what i said. But he doesn't want to use it when he plays though. That's why i went all like: "I'll just let them know that it exist."
Funktionary no that's actually not what you said, maybe people should not be so quick to comment, and especially criticise
👏👏👏👏
Exclusively silky jams from Bennys hands. I show everybody i talk to his videos, non-drummers included
Him and Garstka are pretty much all you need
Mr White, it's you? rs
When will the 08“ Byzance Dark Splash (R&D prototype) & the artist crasher hats be available?? Besides the one website in Germany for $800...
What studio is this? That room is amazing!
The new "Bobby McGrebin"
Does anyone know what mic set up Benny is using? I see a suspended condenser on the snare, one floor and two overhead condenser mics, kick mic, and tom mics of course. But, what type of mis are they! I have searched the internet to no avail.
what great room to record drums in. Anyone know what studio this is?
Voice reminds me of Dub Fx
I will sell my right kidney and left testicle just to get a drumless version of this song :D
Drummer Duchovny Of course, being a drummer you would have to move your right testicle where your left kidney used to be...etc.😁
As good as the drumming is on this album I don't think Benny considered that no one wants to listen to a guy sing 'da dadda' for a whole album.
FUCK YES FUCK YES FUCK YES FUCK YES FUCK YES
that wouldn't happen to be cory glover on the main vocal melody would it?!
0:45 just passing the time until the meth is ready
3:40
What's the song at the very end?
Fuck he's good. Too bad you can only get half of his cymbal setup unless you're a Meinl sponsored player! hahaha
Mr. White?
Has anyone got the lyrics?
Adam Ray
Diwaubapsuminambadubidubidupsiwaumane
Ich Und Nicht Du Seems legit, thanks!
what is with the yellow raincoat? lol
Groovemaster.
You can’t tune a floor Tom any lower than Benny’s
Bad directing switching between the 2 shots. Please don't do that again, is confusing for the viewer.
Love you Benny ! Please give us Greborchestra next !
Song entitled "STRINGS" hasn't a single string. Way to mislead us Benny...
They re used the talking clip from couscous😂
They didn't reuse it. That's Benny, he does his own vocals for the track.
Corey I know that😂😂, after all I am his biggest fan😂I'm talking about when he explains his cymbal set up at the end
Jumping-Jack official Ohhhh, lol. Yea they should just cut that. I know it's a "meinl" video but he keeps his gear updated on his page. WE JUST WANT THE MUSIC!
Benny cmon man do somethin other than 4/4.. is there any benny greb in odd time, other than 3/5 tel?
Xueq 2 when you play 4/4 as well as Benny ya don't need anything else!
I disagree 100% Playing outside of 4/4 shows such a higher level of musicianship. If you can groove outside of 4/4 thats where the real magic happens.
"tricky" oscillates between several different time sigs
Check out his Moving Parts album, you'll find your odd time needs satisfied!
