When Harry ambushed Benny Greb behind the scenes of the inaugural Drumeo Festival, he took his chance and asked a burning question about his drum setup. Ever wonder why Benny has his ket set up parallel to the ground? Or why he has his cymbals set up lower than most? Find out in this exclusive interview with the man himself. Oh, and Benny drops some serious gems towards the end of the interview - you’ll want to stick around! 😎 🥁 | Drumeo

Cap your weekend off with a bang!💥 Let’s be honest — having the audience keep time for you can be a nightmare. However with a room full of drummers keeping time (successfully), Benny Greb absolutely crushes his solo, skillfully playing with time and dynamics before rejoining his bandmates. 🔥 This was an incredible way for Benny and his band Moving Parts to close out their performance. See for yourself why this was a highlight for many that attended. | Drumeo

Still buzzing from our India tour with the brass band. Here’s a little marching-inspired intro to one of the songs. It’s always fun to explore the different sounds that come out of a snare drum—staying with just one instrument, but diving into all the colors it has to offer. Wish you a great day. @meinlcymbals @vicfirth @teamworkarts @contribe | Benny Greb

Here’s a hip-hop jam I included in my medley of different styles. I still can’t get over how incredible this track is — Hit ’Em High from the Space Jam soundtrack. Don’t sleep on this one: it’s got five legends in one song — Busta Rhymes, Coolio, LL Cool J, Method Man, and B-Real — each bringing their own flow and phrasing over the same basic loop. As a drummer, when that kind of greatness is happening, it’s easy to just play two and four and sit in the groove. And while there might be some styl

Although this is just a short clip from an encore, it captures so many things I deeply love. Exploring different sounds on the instrument. Playing acoustically and getting inspired by the sound of the room. Interplay and teasing with the audience. Being fully in the moment. And honoring a bit of jazz tradition along the way. I’m really looking forward to the upcoming shows with the Brass Band in India, as well as the trio concerts in March in Berlin and Hamburg. If you have a chance to see us li

little clip of me getting ready for a jazz gig in Hamburg — rolling with my small 16” kick setup and absolutely loving it. In this particular clip, I find it outstanding how the new @meinlcymbals Quicksand Ride performs. That dry, pearly, needle-like stick sound… with just enough spread. 😊 I’m in heaven. Makes playing this kind of music even more of a joy. Have a great day! | Benny Greb

There’s nothing quite like playing in a room with incredible acoustics. The ambient sound feels like an extra player in the band—tones linger and interact in the most inspiring ways. What you’re hearing here is just the raw sound from my iPhone mic, captured as I set up for my Improvisation and Soloing Camp. I can’t wait for this event! By the way, there are still a few spots left for my Drum Camp in France next year. Don’t miss your chance to join—head to BennyGreb.com, click on Drum Camps, and

another one of my new favorite : the 14“ Quicksand Hats - Higher in register - Incredibly articulate and clear - Super responsive, razor-sharp, but never harsh These hi-hats, along with their sibling the quick sand ride, are truly two incredible new sounds I can’t stop obsessing over. I can’t wait for you to hear them for yourselves. What do you think? Big thanks to the @meinlcymbals team for making this happen. | Benny Greb

This little clip is from a recent clinic in Basel, Switzerland. A good reminder: whenever you play in a medium-sized room where both the PA and the natural acoustic sound of the kit will be heard — and hopefully create a balanced whole — the acoustic volume of the kit and our internal dynamic balance play an even bigger role in how the audience experiences the total sound. For us drummers, that means even more control / awareness necessary over the metal-based instruments — cymbals, cowbells, an

While noodling around today, I was reminded how much a change in drum sound can shift the way we play — and feel — time. Tone length is one of those underrated factors that deeply affects groove and phrasing. It’s what fills (or leaves) the space between the notes. Sometimes, it doesn’t take a new kit — just a few turns of a tuning key can open up a fresh perspective and spark inspiration. For the gear-curious: yes, that’s the Quicksand Ride (now available), though I’m playing the R&D version he

this has meant to me over the past two decades. It’s been my secret weapon—keeping me on track, keeping me honest. The beauty of it? It’s effortless. The format takes out the guesswork, but somehow, it still reveals truths that have challenged me, pushed me, and made me grow. What I’ve relied on for years, you can now have in your hands—more refined, more streamlined. A tool that nudges you toward good habits and consistency without you even realizing it. I wouldn’t want to do without it. At lea

Still think especially the HH is one of the most underrated sound palettes on the kit. When we treat the open hi-hat not just as an accent, but as part of the melodic language—just like toms or snare—it really opens things up. Suddenly, cymbals vs. drums …stop being two separate worlds, and ideas can flow through them. And because we can shape the length of hi-hat sounds so precisely, there’s even more expressive potential there than we sometimes realize. Anyway—just wanted to share that thought

Throwback to my time as a guest drummer on Late Night with Seth Meyers in New York What a thrill! Stopping the songs for guest walk-ins, interacting with the band every day, writing music for the show at lunchtime, then performing it all in the afternoon for the taping — an intense, creative, and unforgettable routine. Feeling very grateful for that experience. Even more so knowing that it doesn’t exist in this form anymore. It’s a good reminder that while you’re in the middle of something you t

Here’s some rehearsal footage from one of my favorite projects ever—a duo with the legend and monster musician that is @garyhusband1 I have to admit, it was a little intimidating to be in the room with someone I respect so much as a musician, composer, improviser, pianist, AND drummer. But the sheer productivity, creative flow, and, most of all, Gary just being an absolute gentleman made it an inspiring and truly enjoyable experience.

Had the chance to visit the Meinl factory again — this time to handpick something truly special. The 14“ pure alloy Quicksand Hats (my new favorite hi-hats) so silvery! And the Quicksand Ride — what a beauty. The last time I had the luxury of selecting a ride cymbal for myself, it stayed with me for nearly 20 years. And now… I genuinely feel like I’ve found “the one” again — twice. Huge thanks to everyone at Meinl for their dedication, attention to detail, and the incredible partnership and frie
