Benny Greb: Developing Your Own Sound | Better Music

Benny Greb sat down with James and Jol during his recent Australian drum clinic tour to discuss how to develop your own sound on the drums, and other things (like travel pants). Benny was in the middle of playing a different Australian capital city each night and was very generous with his time. The man is a legend. Interesting bits and go-to sections: 00:10 What brings you to Australia? 02:43 Is it important for drummers to develop a sound on the drums? 05:12 Record yourself - your smartphone will do! 07:37 What elements are most important to get right when recording drums? How involved are you in recording your drum sound? ("It's all triggers"!) 13:37 Do you change the way you play in the studio vs live? 15:40 What are you looking for in a drum kit and why do you keep coming back to Sonor? 19:50 Touring - how do you keep yourself up mentally and physically? 26:07 If you could magically combine three drummers into one Uber-drummer, who would they be? 28:52 If you could play any song blindfolded, which one would it be? 29:06 Buddy Rich Tribute concert - is Buddy an influence? 32:26 If you have one piece of advice for life, what would that be? 36:34 Take the artform of drumming seriously; don't take yourself seriously.
