Benny Greb

In his eagerly awaited new instructional DVD, the drummer boldly addresses the history and mystery of grooving like the greats. “I wanted to look at the full scale of phenomena within groove and what you can do to develop them,” he says, “so that it’s not a matter of upbringing or other things you can’t change.” – by Michael Dawson
