MEINL SAND HAT VIDEO BY BENNY GREB

[SergiuM42]

What is the song at the end called?

[moonodude17]

He can freestyle on a car... your opinion is invalid.

[mariorossipuzza]

2:08 

[SylarTheBest]

0:19 He looks like Serj Tankian!

[MrXyz1549]

2:03 that some tasty stuff

[goodnamepending]

thats it, now im going out and buying one

[heinzie5]

top of the would go gay for list.

[188metalhead881]

Car jam!

[Spacecowboyy]

love his fat open groovy style.

[thestoryteller612]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!­!

[bbqueenful]

he did not just bust out a groove on a effing car,i do that all the time,, ..he IS the man!!

[VitRadek]

When I fant to hear some real GROOVE... I just search for "sand hat"

[dustyowl99]

lol this guy is such a plug

[bonfirebbqbc]

Very open bass drum sounds. and all the snares..cool

[cecil18wayne]

BENNY GREB IS A FUCKING BEAST

[TheDice2008]

just sounds like any other h hat



[SirSTOKE]

@TheDice2008 tune your ears

[MHCreativeMedia]

You know your freakin' awesome when you make your own car musical. So original and talented.. it hurts :(

[christraven]

The only thing that I feel is missing from this video is a section where he's just playing the hats by themselves - something to showcase the sound of the hats without the drums at all. Other than that VERY minor issue, this is a great video. I can't wait to get a set for myself.

[U1v3R]

0:59 woooooow

[beatleguy64]

HE USED THE DAMN CAR AS A DRUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VF1R]

@beatleguy64 now thats a true percussionist

[Zimmy244]

3:14 MysteryDrumMan :) haha

[Zimmy244]

2:07 What the hell?!

[TheWidiwid]

he doesn't like his car

[SoldatSolutrea]

The grooves around 1:31 and 2:13 really stood out, excellent items, better drummer.

[torelk]

i dont like the tuning of his car...

[kjlatt]

@torelk what if it wasn't his car?

[hazzyftw]

BENNY GREB SIGNATURE CAR? true story.

[roquemusic]

He's a genius!!! Truly the best! The car playing at the end almost made me cry, but it's funny how he can make ANYTHING sound good :)

[PKTANGEL]

That's the most awesome sounding car door I have ever heard.... ever.

[MuffinSpecial]

next there will be the Benny Greb signature car

[bennygrebofficial]

@MuffinSpecial LOL i would love that acctually :-)

[betterbeatz]

I've never heard a so nice sound from a car before.

[GlitchHalo]

this is an amazing hi hat. so crisp but has flavor when opened.

[GodsmackLoverOracle]

i was waiting for him to put his hood up and throw up some W's and say WESTSIDE!

[Unclescatpants]

oh come on they sound the same as any other set of hi hats...

[DSCRAPRE]

@Unclescatpants Not nessisarily. I like them they sound pretty dark and expressive to me. They definitely don't sound like Z3s.

[RijMemberAlec]

at 1:12 , how do you get a snare to sound like that! Pretty cool effect!

[powerbomb91]

@RijMemberAlec its tuned pretty high. just put a towel on the top of the head.

If you love Benny Greb join my free webpage forum Drum Rehab! I am trying to get new members to join. Check out the website clubbeat on my page. Thanks!

[CBAS3891]

they spelled byzance wrong at the end lol

[DSCRAPRE]

3:06 what does he have on his snare?

[Drumboy5165]

@DSCRAPRE His stick?

[tooldrummer]

@DSCRAPRE its an upside down drum head. prob 8"

[DSCRAPRE]

@tooldrummer Oh, makes sense.

[WinterWineStudio]

@DSCRAPRE a drum head?

[skinsandsticks]

3:15 behold, the Benny Greb signature sand van

[LOLE1991KOVIN]

Can you play on toilet paper or something like that!? Benny is my hero! :D

[jamy313]

i cant wait for the sand crash!!

[1S0AR]

Hi, Benny Greb here. I'm God.

[buttersworth13]

@1S0AR HAHAH!!!!! He's amazing this is the truth!

[TheCavepersonman]

The 8 people that dislike this... U mad?

[sabochris]

what kind of car was that?

[1995pg]

@sabochris mercedes benz c class look at the ending^^

[sabochris]

@1995pg thanx.. no matter what he plays, it sounds great!

[triforce10155]

@sabochris 'scuse me for asking but....why?

[wowrazzor]

2:13 - WHAT THE FUCK.

[goldenhopper]

@wowrazzor That's an old Bernard Purdie technique. He used it quite a bit actually...

[wowrazzor]

@goldenhopper

Nice, thanks. Gotta look into that! :)

[FOSSIL13drums]

the beat at 1.27 is to die for!

[Patrickdrums6732]

I'm confused, the whole concept behind sand hit hats is that it's sand blasted to give it it's sound. But wouldn't that finish come off over time? Or is it a lasting sound until the cymbal cracks?

[armedwithturtles]

i learned so much grooves from this video

[spacitydrummer4JC]

He would have shown up all those guys on the Kick, Snare, Hat dvd if he were on it.

[goldenhopper]

I think I would have sex with Benny Greb and I'm totally straight!

[JustAnotherDrummerJG]

hahahaa at 3:15 that's engenius. Well done Mr Greb

[LaughingOutKraut]

1:37 0_0 Wow.

[glitchhacker101]

i met him!!

[DrumCoalitionWithWar]

Byzance spelled wrong at 3:37 in credits

[vrdrums]

Benzs aren't just for driving, you can play drums on them too!

[vrdrums]

I love Benny Greb. Him and Bernard are my idol groovers, put his fucking pinky sticking out is irritating the fuck out of me.

[AkiThePirate]

I used to think Formula One cars sounded good...

[spacitydrummer4JC]

I think the guys who pressed the dislike button didn't mean they did not like the video. They meant, dis i like. 

[DrummaAddict]

What is your favourite snare here?

[Drumminsince89]

The irony of this video, is that you forget that this video is about a HI HAT...and you concentrate more on the snare drum and the sticking...hahaha SORRY SAND HAT...

[UKrocketeer]

2:13 HOW THE FUCK IS HE DOING THAT

[liennto]

@UKrocketeer haha holy balls i feel your pain

[JonEastling23]

@UKrocketeer He press down the hihat along with the bass drum and just play around with the fingers and the stick ^^

[MrFalobalobalob]

At 0:25 it looks like the surface of the moon. :D

[heinzie5]

[guitarshredda2]

[rjthegolfer93]

the car part is the best part of the video

[drum333cory]

i want some snares like those

[RizzoSaurusRex]

Not to dis Benny Greb, I know what level he plays at, but anyone notice on the first scene his right hand, his pinky and ring finger are flying out. Maybe he's doing it purposely, but I was taught differently.

[Drumboy5165]

I was to, however many of the top players do it this way as well.

Form is mandatory when you're learning, beyond that it is up to the artist.

[alee6406]

everyone has their own technique, even some of the greatest players

[Oriasis]

That's why it's sometimes a bad thing to take lessons or follow one drummer's advice.

[gothickid13]

i thought thts wat i saw

[RedOnChrome]

Mercedes solo!

[777EZekiel]

haha benny is crazy!

[dskipin]

cool, great sound!!!!

[howycwap]

I THINK there is a typo in the end, it says bycance.

if i am not mistaken, isnt it byzance?

[boblong002]

maybe thats how its spelled in his language. idk.

[Drumfusions]

@howycwap yes, it is byzance. :)

[000rbdrums000]

sooo groovy ....  even on the car ;-))

[FaithIsAccidental]

3:15  I'm totally doing that on my way home from work.

[UKrocketeer]

@FaithIsAccidental i wonder how many times it took him to figure out how to keep his fingers out from the door XD

[ArnoldVeeman]

wow, cool! great sound (I can listen through the bad sound quality from the compression)

Great drumming too!

Cheers from Holland,

Arnold
