Love ya Benny
Need the same for floor tom!!🔥
When i saw the title of the video my first thought was, dude, people wanna know how you tune your floor tom. ^^
Ambassador Coated on Bottom
Emperor Coated on Batter
Bottom to a medium high tone.
Batter as loose as possible without getting wrinkles.
Put a piece of fluffy cotton IN the floor tom. It will act as a noise gate.
Little EQ, compression and gateing.
The rest will be trying :D
@@audhen1 Good advice, but note that this only sounds good when mic'ed or sitting behind the kit. If you tune the tom this low and it's not mic'ed it will sound like cardboard to someone standing in front of the stage or even a few feet away. But generally that's how I tune my floor toms too!
He did the floor tom in his "art and science of groove DVD"
buy his "the art and science of groove" - dvd, there is a bonus-part of tuning :)
Benny Greb is the drumming community's Keanu Reeves. Love him
Why the fuck keanu reeves?!
@@dikbeats2720 He's got a reputation as being really nice.
no, der ist viel zu selbstbewusst. Für deutsche Verhältnisse auf einer möglichen 10/10 in Sachen Salesmanship, almost cocaini..
Dude knows of what he speaks! I've gone through all my snares using this technique and they've never sounded better! Even one that's been finnicky from the go. Thanks Benny. Appreciate you!
so happy to hear!
"ideal would be a carpet, i dont have one here"
*sad carpet from the background noises*
Benny, this is the best snare tuning video I've seen, and I've seen a ton, being a beginner drummer.
I love you Benny ! Bought your DVD. I will buy your damn Benny Greb signature snares !!!!!
Benny, you're the greatest. Funny and unpretentious unlike a lot of drummers with your ability. Just bought your snare 2.0 and can't wait to try it out. I've been a gretch guy for a while but this snare is so versatile and I play so many genres I just couldn't resist.
Perfect tuning, Benny! I, personally, tune the bottom head a 5th above the batter head so that there is a perfect 5th interval between the two. Like a power chord! In music theory, it is said that a perfect 5th is the most harmonious and pleasing for the ear tuning interval.
I never knew that trick about barely touching the top head while de-tensioning the strainer to maximize the snare sound and allowing the strainer and the bottom head to do their work. Thanks so much for the advice!
The word "Nupsi" is usually used in normal language use when the speaker does not think of the right word for such an object. This term is usually associated with a funny, joyful, interesting, extraordinary or trivial little something. The use of the word is spreading more and more! In some parts of Germany the Nupsi is also written with b (Nubsi), in Berlin there is also talk of a "Nu-hu-psi", which is jokingly accompanied by a circling movement of the right index finger. -translated from JazzmanTV Community
thanks for that, sir. made my day.
I'm not a drummer, don't even know what I'm doing here, but Benny is so awesome that I watched the whole thing.
Killer video! Great pragmatic method of tuning without overcomplicating this topic. It makes me want to tune my drums. It also made me order the snare (brass version that is) because the dampener design is super smart and makes for a super versatile snare.
My compliments on not only being an outstanding drummer but maybe even more so a great educator. It’s not easy getting stuff like this across and this will stick with me. Now I cannot wait to receive the snare, start this video and repeat the process :-D!!
Yep, I had to get the beech. It’s so good and tunes more easily than the gretsch kit snare I originally had.
So good! I always love listening to Benny explain things. Thanks for the tips! I definitely learned something new.
Thanks for making this video Benny! There are so many people on TH-cam that make videos on drum tuning but this video (and all of your others) have taught me the most. You make it simple and easy to apply to my own drum kit. Now I have a rock solid process that works every time! Thanks Benny for all you do
That is absolutely the Best snare sound ever... Thank You Benny. Love your playing
Very helpful, especially since I just received my Sonor Jungle kit for Christmas this year, and have been learning to tune each of the drums. This is the best snare drum tuning video I have watched, thanks for this Benny!
Best tuning video ever!!! and the tips priceless. Thanks Benny!
Benny is as heartfelt and funny as his content is valuable. Thanks!
PS: You can always press against the center of the drumhead ever so slightly to dampen the additional overtones to hear the fundamental pitch of each lug better as you check around the circumference.
Especially if the drum is bigger.
That's a killer tip for concert bass drums.
what you said
that was a great refresher... I tuned my snare like that - love it :)
"It doesn't need to be complicated..." - (uses 47 different tools to turn the lugs...). Thanks, truthfully, for the video, Benny. I'm eagerly awaiting my BG Sig Beech snare on backorder...
Thank you very much for this awesome video! It's pleasure to watch it!
Thanks Benny, such a great video, watching this 1 year after it came out, sadly only 63k views. Many drummers are missing out :(
Pa los que les cueste el ingles....
Primero presenta la tarola con sus dos dampeners y recomienda usar el parche de Remo La serie Ambasador Coated, igual recomienda usar la llave Remo porque tiene un plastico que permite apretar solo con los dedos.
1.- ajustar el parche con el aro sin apretar los tornillos solo hasta que toquen el aro
2.- con solo la presion de los dedos apretar los tornillos hasta que te sea posible, sin usar la "T" de la llave
3.- Con la llave dar un cuarto de vuelta en sentido de las manecillas del reloj, cada lug sin saltar uno solo.
4.- Con la palma de la mano presiona el parche (importante que la tarola este en el suelo o una alfombra para no lastimar el parche resonador y el entorchado)
5.- con un baqueton para timbales, revisar la afinacion lug por lug, si uno esta mal ajustar hasta que tengan el mismo tono.
6.- la prueba y toca como la leyenda que es.
7.- para Bajar el Tono o la afinacion solo elige un lug y lo "desafina".
P.D. No aprietes mucho el entorchado, Don't be that guy!
Danke für das Tutorial. War sehr hilfreich 👍👍👍Viel Segen weiterhin !
Please Benny, can you do another tuning video in a studio? I love your concept and how you talk to the camera. The only "problem " is the sound and echo of the room. Thank you for everyting you do for the drumming community. I've been a fan since 2005.
Master class - The prodigy's make think about everything in simple terms..
Best Snare tuning vid... and I saw a lot. Cheers Mate
I love it when my drums are tuned in right tones but these tips are also helpful, thanks :)
Love his playing, love his snare
it's exactly what the world needed the most - another drum tuning video
5:54 accurate description of me
you made me forcefully exhale from my nose
Sonor makes some of the best professional drums I’ve ever seen!
Hey Eric trust me he could make a $1500.00 kit sound just as good.
Regardless sonor make some of the best kits I’ve heard as well
Trust me 🤓😉🤣
Benny Greb...Great drummer, great guy!!!😎👍
Great stuff Benny, love the crispness, tone and array of versatility...and its a 13 to boot. Just not in the tax bracket for a freshy...will keep an eye out for open-box, scratch-n-dent/used, but certainly look forward to finding one.
Very Informative! Thank you Benny.
Saw and played his snare drums today at the Sonor Factory. I'm so in love with this, but can't afford it 😭😂😂
Benny could explain how to cut butter with a hot knife and make you feel educated.. bravo good sir.
Thanks Benny!!!! from Buenos Aires, and don't forget what Boris said, please..... thank you a lot!!!!
"hear that it's the snare saying help"🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
🤣🤣
Thank you very much for this very interesting video Benny, I'm a beginner and it help me a lot ! ;)

THESUPERBENNYBOY13 Seen every one, Benny is a genius 🥁
Many thanks Mr. G.
Amazing video
Benny is awesome!
Great video
Very last tip was a brand new one to me!
Benny should have said "this is the Sonor "me" signature snare drum". He's one cool dude.
haha the end is so funny. good video!

9:22 "you take this little nubsy up here" - _Benny Greb, 2020_
I wonder who hit the thumbs down on this video..its a great video ..very helpful for those that need simple breakdown ... Must be jealous hitting the dislike button... Top notch great video..as always Benny...keep up the Excellant videos man !!🎵🎵✔👍
he sang the piano melody from Eye Wide Shut.
I wanna play drums in that room. Holy reverb
18:25 : the most unique thing Benny does with his snare tuning. He takes it from a major sound to a minor sound.
Dang i really like the video, and Benny at 20:03secs, that's hilarious man😂
I love you Benny
@20:00 crying with laughter
so much wisdom thankyou Benny
Eita pegaaaa toop lembra-se bateras unidos jamais serão vencidos 🥁👍 mister Benny greb
Great!
There is a company called Mashoff drums. He has a video called "Best Tuning Trick" or something simlar. He does a similar thing to dropping the two lugs closest to you.
Mechanically even tension like this is nice assuming all your tuning rods are equally "slick", i.e. they don't present different levels of resistance. Some snare rods (or lugs), no matter how you lube them, will feel tighter to tune even if the tension applied on the head is the same. Not all of us have brand new Benny Greb Signature snares :)
And I do the same starting point by simply getting the tuning rods as tight as I can with just my fingers. My snare has enough room just under the hoop where I can grab the top threads of the tuning rod and really get them somewhat tight there already. No need for a key that has that thingy on top. Messy though.
Same here
Exactly. There's no way to guarantee the friction between each tuning rod and its lug is equal to all the others, especially if the drum is old and perhaps in need of a little maintenance. That said, Benny's snare sounds incredible here, room acoustics aside. It makes me want to get a 13" or 12" snare.
I get the tuning rods to just touching, then tension the lugs the same amount by sight (half turn, or whatever is needed to get a tone when I tap the head near the lugs). Then I fine-tune the lugs to sound the same. That's what I use as a starting point.
magic...
Same video for toms and kick drum please !
Nice
Brilliant. And funny
Help Help ! so geil!
Nice to see this video a day after tuning all three snares I have :D But it's ok, I messed up only one of them :D And not with the tuning, but with wrong choosing of the drum head. Just wanted to try someting else, but these drum heads with dot in the center are not for me, similar sound effect to too tight wires, no dynamics at all.
Was it my imagination or did he sing the music from Eyes Wide Shut ?
Hi, das Tuning der neuen Brass Snare ist auch so?? Ich habe mir eine gekauft;)-
LG und danke für das tolle Video
What a reverb :O
I like the lugs on the old model snare better. But I love the new brass shell and the new strainer looks way better.
Thanks and Blessings! Let's have a Beer!
6:56 OMG!!
Fein. Sehr gern gestalkt gerade zufällig per Random-Whip-Schalter.
Remo Coated Ambassador=The Best!
What do u use on bottom heads
21:53 oh my goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doesn't just tuning down the front lugs to go lower contradict the whole evening the lugs to same pitch thing?
What type of head do you use for the reso?
👍👍👍
The snare drum key come with the purchase of this snare drum as a package ?
♥️🙏
Haaha,, the same. Im always will ask about floor tom😹
Pueden colocar subtítulos en español? Please
Im benny greb, I can make a drum head sound good. In fact I can tune the boots I wear. Man I love this guy!
joa...geht schon so 😊
Dangerousss tune....
The pretightening is fine but normally it isnt a bad idea to apply the asymetrical tightening method because every tightening is changing the position of the rim.. but who am i right? But he easily compensates for that mistake by giving you the 2 screw trick on top.
Benny completely disproves all of the “Sounds Like a Drum” snare tuning bullshit in one video. Just do what Benny does, your snare will sound killer.
Deepfunk sound was here.
Is no one gonna mention how he sings the Eyes Wide Shut melody when talking about the first round of listening?
8:25 echoooooooo
With a Drum Dial, you know the drum head is evenly tensioned, and the pitches do match.
Also, you can easily and accurately recreate successful tuning formulas.
It’s a must-have.
Can I toss my coin into it? Quick tip, if you don't have a mallet you can always use your pedal beater if it's with felt of course) either by itself or just tape it to the drum sick. Her you go ;)
I tried taping my beater to my marching sticks...
Or you can take a cymbal felt and put it on the butt end of a drumstick 👍
@@KimFilppudrummer Ooh, nice one! ) I'll put it in my hacklist too ) Cheers!
