Benny Greb Disco Beat

[tsunchoo]

he uses the vinyl record to kill the harshness of the snare (probably) - the snare is very hard on the ears up close.

[inimicalODDITY]

@tsunchoo I'm pretty sure he uses it for its effect. I've seen him use various objects to make his snare sound different.

German cymbals, German drums, and American sticks. See, countries can coincide.

I guess I know what I'll be doing with my Dick Clark record.

What are your cymbals? They are aesthetically pleasing and sonically orgasmic.

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@mashafasha5 They are Benny's signature cymbals from Mienl. Search "Benny Greb Mienl Sand Cymbals" and you should get great results. I'm pretty sure that there is a video you can where he talks about gear, as there are a few things that aren't his signature. I think he uses an extra dry crash from mienl, and a byzance traditional crash from meinl.

@XxStrongDrums1996xX This is before the Sand Ride and Sand Hats came out. These are Meinl extra dry's

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@jonnydrums413 Oh, my bad. Now that I look, I can tell that these are darker and dryer than the vintage series cymbals. Thanks for pointing that out.

I did this with a crappy old vinyl I got for free and it broke within 10 mins :D

[tossedboar]

to bad its only 24 seconds

[MusicianSmile]

This beat is awesome! But I have no Vinyls that I would kill for drumming...

[WinterlyMadness]

@MusicianSmile Try using a splash cymbal on your snare, it gives a similar effect.

@MusicianSmile Except 'Sports' by Huey Lewis.

That is the phattest groove I've ever heard ever!

Vinyl drumhead rocks!
