Our guest today is none other than Jost Nickel, a renowned German drummer, composer, and educator. Jost is part of the golden generation of drummers from Germany, alongside his friends and fellow drumming legends Anika Nilles, Marco Minnemann, and Benny Greb. Currently, Jost keeps busy with Jan Delay and Disko No. 1, but his talent has graced many hit records both in Germany and beyond. He's also had the privilege of playing with jazz greats like Randy Brecker, Jeff Lorber, Jimmy Haslip, Barry Finnerty, and many more. In addition to his impressive performance career, Jost has authored four highly successful instructional books: Jost Nickel's GROOVE BOOK, Jost Nickel's FILL BOOK, Jost Nickel's SNARE BOOK, and Jost Nickel's BEGINNER BOOK. I absolutely love Jost's playing. It's always so crisp, clear, snappy, and incredibly creative, yet it always feels good. Today, we're diving into the five records that have helped shape Jost Nickel into the phenomenal drummer he is today. Cheers!"

In today's REPLAY we have the CEO of Musora Media, Jared Falk as our guest today. Since 2003, Jared has built an incredibly successful e-learning business that focuses on teaching drums through its social learning community called Drumeo. Drumeo has also hosted guest lessons from well-known drummers, including Benny Greb, Anika Nilles, Russ Miller, Tommy Igoe, and Dennis Chambers, to name a few. Following the achievement of Drumeo, Jared and his team have since launched new instrument verticals such as Pianote, Guitareo, and Recordeo. We connected with Jared over the internet and talked about his love for drums, why he decided to launch Drumeo, and much more!

This week's guest is Dave Elitch and this chat is long overdue because he's one of the most-mentioned drummers on this podcast…behind Levon Helm, of course. Dave has played with The Mars Volta, The 1975, Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake…and countless others, but a lot of drummers know him as a “teacher's teacher”. He's helped many of the best drummers (and instructors) fine tune their own playing such as Jason McGerr, Benny Greb, Tomas Haake, Chris McHugh and even Bill Burr...who I would love to get on this podcast. His zen-like approach to viewing drummers as athletes and listening to the body and how it relates to one's goals makes him one of the most sough-after teachers today. His online instructional course, aptly named “Getting Out Of Your Own Way” was just updated (and we do talk about all of that in this episode), but I wanted to get to know the drummer behind the instructor. I hope you enjoy my chat with Dave about the 5 records that helped shaped the way he approaches the instrument. Cheers! As promised: https://drinklmnt.com

Jost Nickel is a German drummer, composer and educator. His style is credited to be part of the "golden age" of drummers from Germany, with friends like Benny Greb, Anika Niles (a former student of his), and Marco Minnemann to name a few. His name appears within the credits on many hit records, but it's not just being a top-class session drummer that fills all his time. Jost is also a fantastic drum educator, having released three educational books to critical acclaim! He is a Meinl & Sonor artist, with his signature Jost Nickel snare released in 2019. We had to know more, so we invited Jost to be a guest on our podcast! We talk about education, his various industry experiences and talk about his new album release, "The Check In", which you can stream HERE: https://orcd.co/jostnickel_thecheckin Follow Jost on the socials!: https://jostnickel.com/en/start/ https://www.facebook.com/jostnickel https://www.instagram.com/jost_nickel/ https://twitter.com/jostnickel https://www.youtube.com/c/JostNickel Subscribe For More!

Benny Greb ist Weltklasse-Schlagzeuger, und das sage ich, nachdem mein Schlagzeugermann (einer seiner ältesten Freunde) mir alle anderen Superlative (wegen peinlich für Benny) ausgeredet hat. Er ist außerdem ein ungewöhnlich lustiger und begnadeter Educator, mit eigenen Drummingvideos und Workshops. Wenn Benny Konzerte spielt, in Japan oder Amerika, dann sitzen im Publikum hauptsächlich andere Drummer, die mit offener Kinnlade zuschauen, und sich danach erklären lassen, wie er das macht, was er macht. Seine YouTube-Videos haben Zugriffe, von denen andere deutsche Künstler nur träumen können. Wir reden über das Glück der (in seinem Fall zugegebenermaßen riesigen) Nische, und darüber, dass man sich sehr wohl seinen eigenen Beruf basteln kann – und aus einem Set sehr spezieller Fähigkeiten eine sehr spezielle Karriere machen.

“It has to start with the why.”   Try Drumeo Edge for free for 7 days   Benny Greb recently released his book Effective Practicing For Musicians: The Ultimate Guide For How To Become Better At Your Instrument. So far we have discussed how to practice more effectively and in part two we talked about the importance of recording yourself. Today we focus on why we are making an effort to improve, practicing gratitude and always doing your best with what you have in the moment.   So, how did I make out with the EPM system? It is a bit of a surprising conclusion that I didn’t see coming whatsoever.    I consider this book an essential resource for drummers who are committed to becoming the drummer they wish to become. You can get it right here.   You Will Hear About….   Your why. The right way to compare yourself. Practicing gratitude. My conclusion to the three-month EPM cycle. Staying on course. Doing the best you can with what you have right now. Why practice should be exciting.   Why Should You Listen?   This episode rounds out the series, so if you have been listening since part one you will likely want to know how it ends. It was an ending that was bitter-sweet but it highlights how priorities can change within a person.    Music Featured In Today’s Show   Benny Greb - Grebfruit: 0:06 Moving Parts - Soulfood: 1:51 Moving Parts - Spacecake: 17:33 Benny Greb - Polka: 36:49 Moving Parts - Kalimba: 49:31     Benny’s Socials   Instagram Facebook YouTube Website   Follow ‘Drumeo Gab’   Instagram Facebook YouTube

“That’s the fun thing about practicing. That it actually does something. It actually changes you!”   Try Drumeo Edge for free for 7 days   Benny Greb recently released his book Effective Practicing For Musicians: The Ultimate Guide For How To Become Better At Your Instrument. In part one of our three-part series, we discussed how to become more effective during your practice. Today, we are focusing, mostly, on the benefits of recording yourself.    This also marks two months of work within my three-month EPM cycle. So, you will hear my journaling and thoughts about the process so far.   I consider this book an essential resource for drummers who are committed to becoming the drummer they wish to become. You can get it right here.   You Will Hear About….   The different types of recordings and how to use them. What you show social media vs what is really going on. Defining the word discipline. Going deeper with what you know.   Why Should You Listen?   If you heard the first episode and thought that it was a worthwhile listen, then you will consider this to be a continuation from where we left off a month ago. Recording yourself is crucial to understanding how we really sound and what progress has been made within our development.    Music Featured In Today’s Show   Moving Parts LIVE - September: 0:00 Greb/Husband - Deep Breath: 30:50 Benny Greb - No.5 (looped): 46:57 Benny Greb - No.6: 47:29 Moving Parts LIVE - 3/5Tel (Intro): 48:28     Benny’s Socials   Instagram Facebook YouTube Website   Follow ‘Drumeo Gab’   Instagram Facebook YouTube

“To stay on course there has to be a course in the first place.” Try Drumeo Edge for free for 7 days Benny Greb recently released his book Effective Practicing For Musicians: The Ultimate Guide For How To Become Better At Your Instrument. It took him many years of research and several years to write it as well. He wrote me late last year to ask about hosting him on the podcast to discuss his book to which I replied, “Absolutely! Send me the book and we will do it!”. Upon receiving his book I began reading and put together my own EPM system using the book and its sets of questions to determine where I wanted my drumming to go and what needed to be addressed. Since then, I have never been so happy and determined in my drumming life.  The book calibrates you and fills you up with momentum to tackle the lessons, whether online or in person, with more focus and purpose. Whenever I look for lessons on Drumeo Edge, I now know exactly what I am looking for. I consider this book an essential resource for drummers who are committed to becoming the drummer they wish to become. You can get it right here.   You Will Hear About…. Why we must separate playing from practicing. Benny’s ratio between time spent practicing versus playing. How should we treat ourselves during practice? A story from the book outlining how small changes applied consistently over time can create an enormous impact. The Whale Method. The Feel Good Factor. What should you practice?   Why Should You Listen? Do you want to become better at your instrument? If you said yes to that question then I suppose you should listen to this. This is only the first part of three parts of the EPM series and I think this is a nice coat of primer for what’s to come. A lot of the material in the book and within this podcast episode resonated with me deeply. These are things that most, if not all, of us, go through and to have some empathetic advice to steer us towards more clarity is valuable.   Music Featured In Today’s Show Moving Parts - Celsius: 0:00 Greb/Husband - Immune System: 1:33 Greb/Husband - Icebath: 11:50 Greb/Husband - Meditation: 32:53 Benny Greb - No. 1: 43:37   Photo by Gerhard Kuehne   Benny’s Socials Instagram Facebook YouTube Website   Follow ‘Drumeo Gab’ Instagram Facebook YouTube

Need we say more than, Benny Greb is our guest today? Benny is one of the preeminent educators in the world of drumming, having produced the amazing instructional videos The Language of Drumming and The Art and Science of Groove. His new book, Effective Practicing for Musicians: The Ultimate Guide For How To Become Better At Your Instrument furthers Benny's teachings on how to improve and truly understand how to overcome hurdles as a musician. On episode 124 Benny and Jamie engage in a wide-ranging conversation on Benny's career, educational products, instrument innovations, and they even discuss the now infamous, SpongeBob Squarepants drum set video!

As far as I’m concerned, Benny Greb is one of the thought leaders on effective practicing. Admittedly, Greb was a slow learner when he was a young player and needed to develop his practicing skills (yes, practicing is a skill). Because of this, Greb is recognized as one of the most respected drummers in the […] The post 591 – Benny Greb: Effective Practicing for Musicians appeared first on Drummer's Resource: Conversations with the world's greatest drummers and music industry pros..

When it comes to playing music with Benny Greb, I have come to expect the unexpected. He is a true improvisor behind the drums, and is a rare thing in today's fast past and internet driven music industry: He's a musician who just happens to be a drummer. More concerned with the collective live experience than he is with flashy licks, and clicks and views, he is a musical force with whom you can build something original every time you step onstage together. I've had the pleasure of traveling to far flung corners of the world with his trio "Moving Parts", and have learnt a lot from both my time on the road with Benny, and my time spent hanging out and simply talking about life, and about music. He is one of my favorite musicians period, as well as being a pioneer of sound and time when it comes to the drum set. We talk about tuning for sound and not for feel, ghost busters, how to practice, and tons more in this interview that could easily have been three times as long.

The legend returns. Benny (in Germany) joins Matt and Jordan (in the US) and Joe (in the UK) for a chat that left us inspired and feeling GOOD. You know by now what to expect from these CC chats: self care, routines, managing stress and anxiety, productivity...we get deep into it with one of our favorite musicians. Benny also shares how his personal and professional life has shifted during his time at home. He gives us some insight into the book he's working on and details his family's daily gratitude practice.

“Everybody says, “Yeah, you gotta practice your rudiments.” Normally I am always putting a question mark behind that sentence.” German drummer Jost Nickel is affiliated with a golden generation of German drummers including Anika Nilles, Marco Minnemann, and Benny Greb. In fact, he is Anika’s teacher and even provided Benny Greb with some private lessons. This past year in 2019 was a really big year for Jost with the introduction of his new X 9 signature snare from Sonor and his brand new ‘Snare Book’ that was recently published through Alfred Music.  Jost has performed with many great artists including Randy Brecker, Jeff Lorber, Bob Mintzer, Jimmy Haslip, Barry Finnerty, Mitch Forman, Brandon Fields to name but a few but he is maybe even more well recognized in the drumming community as a premier educator. With three books now to his name (The Groove Book, The Fill Book and The Snare Book) and his nomination as “Best Clinician” by Modern Drummer Magazine in 2016 and being featured on MusicRadar’s list of “the 10 best drum clinicians in the world” in 2016 & 2017, it is no question that Jost is one of the finest educators in the world. To add to his list of credentials in education, he is also a tutor at the prestigious University of Pop in Mannheim, Germany.  Jost endorses Sonor Drums, Meinl Cymbals & Percussion, Vic Firth, Remo, Ahead Armor Cases and Beyerdynamic Microphones   You Will Hear About…. Our thoughts about electric drums vs acoustic drums. His new X 9 signature snare drum with Sonor. The process of creating the X 9 drum video with Sonor. Jost’s game changing moment. Jost’s opinion on rudiments and if we need them. Perfection and how it doesn’t exist. How Jost prepares for clinics. Details for what Jost is doing in 2020 including his new record.   Why Should You Listen? Jost is someone who when speaking, should be listened to. Jost’s thoughts on perfection, whether rudiments are really the answer to playing music on the drums, taking chances and removing yourself from a comfortable place in life to start something new, is all amazing insight. To have an hour to listen to our chat, in person, about all of this and more will hopefully provide listeners with some invaluable knowledge right here in this podcast. Just imagine if you had an hour with Jost and he offered his time to you for free. Would you take it?   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh0mAk8DSM4   Jost’s Socials Instagram Facebook Twitter Website   Follow ‘Drumeo Gab’ Instagram Facebook

Gigging with Beyoncé and Benny Greb

I got a call yesterday from Steve Smith asking me to cover a tour with his band Vital Information at the last minute, and I can only do one of the shows unfortunately. But it's a big one, and I happen to be on the same festival with Benny Greb already, so at least some logistics are going to work out. But it is a ton of music, and this episode gives you a look inside my process for learning a huge amount of music, for both Steve and Benny, in a very short amount of time. 

With a festival looming next week in Canada with Benny Greb, I start getting stuck into the process of being as prepared as possible for another one off with one of my favorite drummers in the world. I'm always trying to eradicate any doubt in the performance, so I generally start working on the material I need to reboot around two weeks out from the gig. 

This week, the boys talk about The Last Waltz, a documentary concert film from Martin Scorsese showcasing The Band's last performance. They also talk about famous drummer Benny Greb's Grebfruit 2, a solo album featuring funky grooves and a capella variations. Lastly, the gang discusses the Mandela Effect and their experiences and opinions with it. Is it all a bunch of horse hockey? Listen in to find out! At the end of every show, we reveal our picks for our next episode – so you can prepare and join in on the next episode's discussion along with us! Quick picks - 2:02 Movie - The Last Waltz - 17:20 Music - Grebfruit 2 by Benny Greb - 52:42 More - The Mandela Effect - 1:25:31

Welcome to Drummers Only Radio. A new podcast from Drummers Only. You'll be able to catch up with all the goings on of the UK's biggest independent drum store(s). Everything from gear reviews, interviews and much more. Benny Greb needs absolutely no introduction. He is a living legend within the drumming world and beyond. He has released some of the best selling instructional material of all time - changing the game in the process. His signature cymbal line and snare drum are some of the best selling products on the market and his style and playing have been influencing drummers for well over a decade. He leads his trio Benny Greb's Moving Parts which have released 2 albums to date and are currently in the process of releasing a 'Grebathon' We caught with Benny ahead of his recent Drummers Only Glasgow clinic date. http://www.bennygreb.com http://drummersonly.co.uk/ http://facebook.com/drummersonlyuk/ http://instagram.com/drummersonlyuk/ http://twitter.com/drummersonlyuk/

Benny Greb is one of the most celebrated drummers over the last ten years. With his acclaimed educational content such as “The Art and Science of Groove” and “The Language of Drumming”, Benny has been opening up the minds of drummers in a unique way. He currently has another book that is due to launch in Q1 2020. Along with his educational content, Benny is well known for his original music with his Grebfruit albums and his fusion trio Moving Parts. Benny also holds clinics and camps worldwide to expand the knowledge and abilities of drummers. I would imagine it would be an amazing experience for anyone who attends.   A Big Opportunity   Since running this podcast I have always hoped that one day I would have an opportunity to interview Benny. Any content that I have viewed, Benny stands out to me as an exceptional communicator, teacher, and performer. He would bring up concepts that went further than simply the mechanics of drumming by also implementing the psychological and scientific aspects of how we play. He breaks these concepts down into very understandable smaller parts so that literally anyone can understand it. Looking at Benny’s performances will also very quickly indicate to you that he is very methodical and intentional about his musical decisions and execution. So with all of these ingredients, you might imagine that an interview with Benny would be very eye-opening and an event that I would be very excited to present to all of you. And you would be right — mostly.   If you have been listening to DrumeoGab, or in its earlier days, DrumGab, you will know that I like to promote the idea of pursuing your work with integrity and to push yourself to reach greater heights with your art. Stagnation usually leads to boredom. So, I think it is important to step out of your comfort zone and do things to the best of your abilities. With Benny’s interview, I prepped a lot and tried my best to design something a bit different for listeners that would challenge myself with being able to host it. It was all really deep subject matter that brought curiosities forward but I hadn’t fully established my own thoughts on it yet. Instead, I wanted to see what Benny would bring forward and discover what kind of conversation could be had from the questions I had. I also enjoy challenging my guests with these deeper subjects as well.   All was going quite well I thought and then towards the end, I asked a question that would end on one word that would essentially ruin the question. The question was whether a drummer should spend their time mastering one to three styles of music or if it is better to know a lot of styles — but just a little bit. Nothing too in-depth or “masterful” so to speak. We as drummers hear a lot of people suggesting that in order to have a better shot at a stable career that we should learn as many styles of music as possible. But how is that information being handled? This is my curiosity. Are people just dipping their toe in styles or are they spending a great deal of time in a style of music and as a result finding their own voice within that style? So the question seemed pretty interesting to me when it is phrased that way. It seems like something people may want some clarification on but I really flubbed the question. I said, “should you half-ass it all?” which is absolutely horrible wording. It also contradicts how I approach this podcast and I personally don’t think that anything should be half-assed whatsoever. But I said it. And instantly, I regretted it.   During the interview with Benny, I felt what was best was to just let it pass and try to continue with the interview without having to defend myself at that moment, even though my ego felt the need to pipe up to try and regain some worth. It was tough making a big mistake on the podcast with Benny. I don’t know why the word came out of my mouth. It just kinda popped out of there and before I thought to stutter a bit and readjust my question, I committed instead.  It was this type of catastrophe that I used to worry about happening when I first got into doing this podcast. It is the kind of event that I never wanted to have happened because I am not good at feeling embarrassed and I have a perfectionistic approach with this show. Whenever embarrassment happens I have a tendency to ruminate on my embarrassment and it cuts away at my confidence quite a lot. So what did I learn from this?   Growing Pains   The episode is titled “Growing Pains” because that is what I had experienced making this one. It connected me again with the fragile side of my ego that has always been a bit soft.   Before I continue though, I need to hit rewind a little bit.   When I started the podcast people were saying, “it’s really good considering you have practically no experience! Keep doing it!” What does that really mean? Well, I guess translated it means, “it isn’t very good yet but I think it will be good once you learn more about how to do it. Definitely stick with it.” So even from the beginning when I was incredibly uncertain about myself doing this kind of work, people were very gentle with their feedback. As the show grew and I felt that the content was becoming much better, I felt that the feedback was far more natural sounding. People were telling me often how much they look forward to it, that it was making a big difference in their personal lives and with their approach to drumming. The feedback has been really great, with only a few small comments stating otherwise. But that is the thing, I haven’t had much “bad” stuff to deal with while making this show. It has all been very good and it has been easy to feel positive about the work.   To clarify, I have also been very careful not to get too comfortable or confident either. Believe me, I still get nervous butterflies with every interview. I always want to hit a home run. It is very tough for me if I feel that I didn’t. This is why I prep so much and pour so much love into the work because I am actually really afraid to fail. That feeling of embarrassment is one of my biggest fears.   For my listeners, you must know the following about me. I grew up being incredibly self-conscious. Even something as insignificant as playing a game of basketball as a kid was stressful because I wouldn’t want to trip over the ball, miss a shot, miss a pass, or anything that put me in a place of inferiority to my peers. I didn’t want my teammates to say I was the reason why they lost the game. Overall, I wanted to be accepted. This mental strain actually caused a lot of these “misses” to happen and I felt like the loser on the team. In school, I was always the last person to be picked to be on a team for gym class because most of the kids didn’t like me much. And that became my truth.   Fast forward a few years later — I was always in a band, playing a lot of shows and having a lot of fun with music. I would come off the bandstand and my bandmates would tell me how tight the show was, and some members of the audience would say how they dug my playing. I got told this all the time. Hugs all around and everything is alright! I felt like I was competent at something! I was being accepted for a skill that I had.   Once I packed in playing music, due to Harrison arriving soon and needing something different for myself, I decided that I would start up a podcast. And again, I found something that really worked with me. I have felt a bit embarrassed or self-conscious a few times for sure, but I knew it was all part of growing with the show. The difference was that it was always in micro-doses, never a full blast of it. And that all changed with this episode. The thing I was trying to protect myself from by over preparing, over-editing, and playing it a bit safe with questions lead me to what I needed. A big jolt of something that would force me to make a decision that would test my comfort levels like no other time in this podcast. Do I keep the part of the podcast that I cringe at when I hear it? Or do I remove it and continue to be safe from humiliation?   Making A Tougher Decision Always Has A Better Outcome   Even writing this article took me about a week to visit. The reason being that I have to relive the bad feeling. As you heard in the intro to this episode I confronted it once already, and it felt GREAT when I faced my fear. I felt so uplifted and proud that I decided to keep something in the show that I felt was as embarrassing as running down my neighborhood naked with a cowboy hat on. But coming up to the release of this episode I am once again feeling a bit worried about what people might think when they hear it. Will any credibility I had built be lost? Will people make fun of me when they are listening to it and praise Benny for pointing it out? Is it going to be spread around on the internet as the big highlight to this episode? Will fans of the show email me about it to ask what went wrong this time? So now as I observe it again, I am hoping I can let go a bit.   As you build something and the momentum grows as this podcast has experienced, you feel even more need to protect it. It can become this thing that you place on a pedestal. Like a game of Jenga, you are more reckless at the beginning of that game than you are towards the end when you know it could all fall down. With the relationships I have formed, the wide listener base that comes here to get their weekly dose of podcasting goodness, and the growing sense of responsibility to everyone above, I am feeling the imposter syndrome more than ever.   I was told once by a good friend, Ned Burwell, that a decision should be looked at as a circle with a line running through the center. The center line represents a neutral state. On the right side of the circle starting in the middle is the hard decision. It is a vertical climb to get to the top and then an easy fall to get back to neutral again. An easy decision is represented on the left side of center on the circle. You can fall down the edge of the circle but it is a hard climb to return to neutral. This concept has become one of the most influential things to me when I need to make a decision. In this case, I felt it was no different. I had to make the hard decision in order to live with myself easier. I also had to do it not just for me but to inspire you too. I want people to make decisions that challenge them for the right reasons. I could have removed that part of the show and avoid my humiliation but instead, I thought it would be best if I just owned it instead. It is what I promote after all.   With More Influence Comes More Responsibility   As you become someone that people look to for inspiration and advice I feel that it is absolutely crucial that you practice what you preach. That might seem incredibly obvious and it kind of is. But doing it can be tough especially if you think there is a chance to avoid it. It negatively affects your confidence if you know in your conscious that you aren’t living up to what you promote.   We live in a world now with social media influencers everywhere. The potential issue with that is simple. Social media doesn’t have to be real to be believed. We can edit and filter out all of the stuff we don’t like about ourselves through it. We can essentially lie to both our audience and ourselves and only we will truly know that. Personally, I don’t want to live with that burden. That also means that I have to grow to become a person that truly doesn’t care what people think about me. If I know myself that if I am being honest with myself and my audience, that is all I can do. I should feel liberated to show my scars and insecurities. I should also feel liberated to show my successes too. Overall, we need to accept what is. We need to practice what we preach.   Ned told me another amazing thing once about trajectory and influence. Let’s pretend that we are a ship setting sail. The trajectory is going to be one hundred miles. In order to get to our destination, we must sail perfectly forward on the trajectory to meet our destination. If our moral compass is off by one or two degrees, it has less impact if we have only traveled five miles. You may only be off center by a few feet and it is easy to get back on course. But if we are have traveled one hundred miles and haven’t checked our moral compass we could find ourselves off course by many miles. So what do the one hundred miles vs five miles represent? It represents influence. As we gain influence in the world we must be more aware of our moral compass because we are now affecting more and more people. The intention behind our actions has to come from the right place. Many things can have an effect on our moral compass and so we need to check in with it every so often. As an example, I have heard of some people falling into what is called “the messiah complex” by becoming really influential. It is a real thing, look it up if you don’t believe me.   I am always trying my best to stay humble and remember that loser kid that no one liked. I feel grateful that I have an audience that adores this podcast. You come here each and every week to get your weekly dose of quality media that I try so hard to ensure it is good for you. (Hence the catchphrase for this podcast has always been, “It’s good for you”) I don’t ever want to be misguided by my desires, for acceptance. I just want to make my show and learn more about how to be a better version of myself, have great experiences (like this one), grow the show in every way, and develop more relationships. In addition to that, if people are learning, growing, achieving, facing their fears, working hard and being respectful and kind to other people too — then I am very happy with that.   Face Your Fears   With this decision to leave in something that I am insecure about is the very thing I needed. I needed it to see for myself where I stand with my own growth as a person and to ensure that you, my audience, understand my intent with this media. I hope that after you hear this episode that you feel that it is a great thing to own your failures, observe them for what they are, and move on as soon as possible. It is all part of the process. I can also guarantee each and every one of you that growth lies on the other side of your fears. It is better to face them now and see what they really are instead of allowing them to fester in your mind.   You have to prove to yourself time and time again that your fears are not what your mind makes them seem. It is nothing more than something your mind has conjured up in order to prevent you from moving forward. I also think other people are wanting to see other people set the example of walking through their fears before they take their first step. So be the person that shows others the way. Be encouraging to your peers who you know to struggle with moving past their fears. Once fear turns to worry, it only becomes harder to move forward.   I hope you all have a tremendous week and thank you for coming along on this leg of the journey to finding more growth within myself and maybe even you too.    I also want to say a huge thank you to Benny for spending his time with me on this episode to provide some incredibly thoughtful insights in this interview. Also, with teaching me more about myself.   Music used in this episode:   “Barking” - Benny Greb Moving Parts “Stabila” - Benny Greb Moving Parts “Bunker” - Benny Greb Moving Parts   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP3o84bMduE   Benny’s Socials   Instagram Facebook Website   Drumeo Gab’s Socials   Instagram Facebook

Dali Mraz is a composer and drummer from the Czech Republic. He recently released his own record, titled Level 25, which features his own compositions that marries orchestral music and fusion to create a hugely unique sound. This record has taken Dali over two years to create and as he describes is a product of his journey these last two years. Dali is a fiercely passionate musician who does not compromise at all when it comes to his original compositions. But like everyone, he has to make a living somehow, so he does this by composing music for film scores and other contracted work that has nothing to do with drumming at all. He saves the drumming for his own projects, like Level 25. Dali also hosts clinic based camps with some of the worlds most well-recognized drummers in the world such as Todd Sucherman, Benny Greb, and Chris Coleman.   Dali is a true composer. He has been composing music since he was six years old and has won several awards for his work over the years. He is incredibly prolific and reminds me of people such as Frank Zappa. Just simply because of his daily routine of composing music and his level of passion for it. Like Zappa, who was an amazing guitarist, Dali is an absolute beast drummer. He possesses world-class abilities and an incredibly unique sound that I haven't heard anywhere else. I would easily be able to point out if it was Dali playing if I only heard a measure of music.   This interview gets quite deep into Dali's outlook on his work, why he is unable to compromise, and the names of his sheep.   Dali's Drumeo Lesson   Dali's Socials Instagram | Website   DrumGAB's Socials Instagram | Website

Chris Brewer sits down with Benny Greb during the 2018 Winter Namm show in Anaheim, CA to talk life, self-critique, social media, and much more. 

If you have internet and social media, you know who Anika Nilles is. An artist who started professionally late in life and yet in a small time frame has captured a wide audience all across the globe with her high level production quality drum videos, original compositions, tireless work ethic and touring. It was an absolute pleasure and honour to feature her on this podcast and the results of our conversation are terrific.   Some of the particulars about her that I find fascinating is how widely recognized she is in this industry. She, along with a handful of others, discovered the power of social media and producing high quality content distributed through YouTube before it became a saturated platform and I believe this is a major contributing factor to her success. I certainly don’t want to discount her amazing abilities, attention to detail and innovation, but had she started last week I cannot assume she would have had the same level of fortune in her career. It is this topic that I find most compelling about her.   We discuss this at length as well as her transition from a regular working life to full time professional drummer. The incredible advice and council that she received when she was 21 years old from the renowned drummer Benny Greb. It all comes together to shape this incredible journey she has had and to hear it first hand is great listening.   Some other points that we talk about are whether she finds it hard to keep her performance levels high when she is travelling so often in different countries. I recall a time when I saw her on Drumeo and she had talked about having jet lag and she seemed very tired. You have to wonder, how do you keep your performances at a high level when you are experiencing so much exhaustion?   Another subject is how she feels about her fanfare. What is it like to be recognized and admired across the globe? Anika, for the record, is a genuinely humble person who is incredibly friendly. She was one of the nicest people I have ever had on the show and she was gracious towards the invitation to be on the podcast in the first place. She talks about how she views the fans who appreciate her and that she feels so appreciated that she can only give that back to her fans. Her attitude towards life seems to be consisting of hard work, appreciation for herself and others and to focus on what brings joy and value to her life.   We also had some great questions come in from fans. Here is what the fans wanted to say….   - Jamie from Greenfield drums: What was your dad’s background as a drummer and how was he an influence to you early on?   - @Ethangarofalo: Why do you utilize quintuplets so often in your music?   - @Travisonthedrums: What is your song writing process?   - @Man_francisco - Is it possible for music to be technical and still have as much heart as a Motown classic like “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough?”   - Mike at Predator Percussion - What was your inspiration in creating your own album and do you write the parts for the other instruments?   - @Davidszieber - This fan was actually at your Expo in Hungary and he wants to know how you tune your drums.   - Jared Falk wanted me to ask Anika about her ping pong skills. (The response to this is priceless!)   All in all, this interview was a dream of mine when I started the podcast and I am a huge fan. I feel this interview holds a great story and advice within and I hope listeners feel like they got to know her as a little bit better because of it.

It's been awhile, man, and we were itching to go back to our original format for a week. This is the deepest dive we've gone into music so far as we discuss our approaches to composition and share what we've been listening to most this year.

Truth be told...this made us very happy. Benny joined us from his home in Germany for a two hour chat spanning his formative years as a musician all the way to his new record, "Grebfruit 2." He is best descibed as "world class." A true professional, an all-time musician, and a really kind dude. Benny's depth of knowledge, experience, and wisdom runs deep...and he literally goes in depth throughout this episode. He shares his approach to effective teaching, the ways he copes with anxiety and sadness, his creative process, and so much more. He also answers a bunch of questions from you guys in the CC Facebook group. Seriously guys...this shit is really good! (bennygreb.de) Join our community to continue the conversation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/chocolatecroissants/ 

Discipline and consistency have been a part of my practice routine for many years, however it wasn't until recently that I realized how much time I was wasting by not streamlining my practice methods! In this episode I delve deep into personal experience as I recount my history getting into drumming, some of my past struggles with how I practiced, and share some of the techniques and methods I now use to consistently have the most efficient and focused practice sessions that I've ever had.  Whether you are a drummer, another kind of instrumentalist, or someone who just wants to have focused consistent results improving themselves in any area, I think there is a lot to take away here. But please let's continue this conversation and share your thoughts with me! Big shout out to the Drummer's Resource Podcast with Nick Ruffini and Benny Greb, both of whom were indispensable to helping me discover, adopt and implement many of the topics I discuss here, and aiding me directly and indirectly on my personal journey.

Welcome to another episode of DrumGAB podcast. Well over here at DrumGAB we have learned many lessons about troubleshooting technology, recording equipment and how to conduct an interview. I think it is fair to say that a lot of these major hiccups have since past us now that we are into our tenth episode. Of course there will always be plenty to learn and grow upon, however, the shaky beginnings of working on a new podcast project seem to be behind us now...and for that I am thankful. So for our tenth episode, we are speaking with a very little known player from Atlanta, but if this guy starts to push himself into the right directions in the industry, he could be a giant. This is one of the most amazing things about Instagram and the drumming community. There is a ridiculous talent pool out there. It is incredible, to say the least. There are plenty of fantastic drummers out there that are simply waiting to be heard by the right people and Instagram can absolutely provide those opportunities. So what do Justin and I discuss? Well, we start things off by discussing his background as a player. We go all the way back to the very beginning and then work our way all the way to the present. One notable thing about his growth as a player is his crazy work ethic through it all. He wanted to be the absolute best player that he could possibly be. We also talk about some practice tips to increase efficiency, of practice time. He has a lot of good advice about how to maximize your retention levels and it actually pretty refreshing material that we discuss. He also talks about how to utilize rudiment patterns with different accents, note rates, and orchestration. This is also straight up up golden material, as far as I am concerned. Towards the end of the interview, it becomes clear that Justin had not considered what he can do with this drumming thing, especially considering his talents. He wants to be a clinician, or bring his education to the online space and it could even go beyond that. The point to this section is that doing masterclass clinics around the world isn't just meant for drummers like Benny Greb and Ash Soan. Justin could also enter that world and you can tell that some light bulbs go off and that he felt very inspired towards the end of the interview. Overall, this is a very in-depth interview that tackles a lot of valuable subject matter and it was an absolute pleasure having Justin on the show.

Diese Schwarmtaler-Episode präsentiert zwei neue Projekte. St.Pauli Zoo Jeder hat eine Meinung über St. Pauli. Einige finden es verschmutzt, verrucht oder gefährlich. Andere halten es für den wahren Schmelztiegel unterschiedlicher Kulturen, Ansichten und Lebenseinstellungen. Andere sehen darin den nächsten Prenzlauer Berg, befürchten steigende Mietpreise einen hohen Anteil von zugezogenen Menschen, die die Atmosphäre des Stadtteils verändern. Andere verbinden mit St. Pauli einen Fußballverein, dem es gelingt, Fußballkultur in einem stark durchkommerzialisierten Umfeld zu wahren. Die Wahrnehmung von St. Pauli in den Medien ist jedoch häufig nur einer von außen. Der Dokumentarfilm "St. Pauli Zoo" soll einmal die Anwohnerperspektive darstellen. Dazu wurden und werden Interviews mit den unterschiedlichsten Leuten vom Kiez geführt und in einem anderthalbstündigen Film vereint. Ob dieser Film eher dokumentatorisch oder mehr aktionistisch wird und wie die Macher St. Pauli selbst sehen, erzählen uns nun zwei von ihnen: Johannes Neinens und Julian Schöneich. The Art and Science of Groove Wenn man Benny Greb beim Drummen zuhört, kann man denken, dass der Groove, der dann entsteht eine natürliche Begabung ist - etwas, dass man nicht erlernen kann sondern einfach hat oder nicht hat. Benny Greb hat den Groove. Nicht umsonst spielte er bereits mit Leuten wie Thomas D. oder Stoppok zusammen. Allerdings sagt er von sich selbst, dass ihm der Groove nicht in den Schoß gefallen ist, sondern dass es ihm möglich war, ihn zu erlernen. Er war also keine genetische Begabung. Die von ihm angewandte Methode möchte er nun weitergeben und hat ein Script für eine DVD ausgearbeitet, die "The Art and Science of Groove" heißen wird. Darin möchte er seine Methode anderen weitergeben und ihnen Mut geben, den Groove zu finden. Was seine Methode vom normalen Schlagzeugunterricht unterscheidet und ob er Drummerwitze kennt, verrät er im Interview.
