[@Potatoast]

The chappers has such a nice warm tone. It really compliments the other cymbals very well. haha!! I love your guys' sense of humor.

[@RobChappers]

I like the bit with the drums ;-)

[@andreasyelasi]

7:30 and this is the chappers *hit* after 3-4 seconds ahhh that's why i love that guy!!!!!!!!

[@manifestgtr]

what would be REALLY interesting is if the sabian hat piece was actually from the 70's considering the company was founded in '81 hahah

[@MrFuck1006]

manifestgtr - Some of the last Canadian Zildjian cymbals from the 70's were marked "Sabian".

[@whobudddy2000]

I love the tone of the chappers I think this is something that would work well in your set up lol

[@MrBothandNether]

it's a Good Man that will lend one a Snare, and good on You for bringing the extra pole. I'm a singer, so I always help roadie the drumkit, thanx for the kit info/lesson.

[@DEVOSPHINX]

Lovin Bens gear, those samples are sick.

[@jongswa]

love the stack and the Stagg bell

[@DominicSalzillo]

The subdrop is SICK

[@michielvanderheyden4960]

nice video Ben, here's a tip tho and that can be useful to anyone. if you're micing up your drum its good to keep the hi-hat/cymbals not too close from other mics such as tom mics or snare mics, to prevent it from bleeding over

[@babarain99]

chapper bell is my fav XD

[@cesarfranku]

lol the explosion sound nice! :D

[@Steefpeer]

that chappers certainly has great tone! If I'm not mistaken that sixth spot on your effects board is free...

[@holman26]

awesome kit ben big respect

[@RNAMusic]

I was a drummer (still am) before I played guitar, Love drums, and Ben is a beast.

[@TitouanDebray]

When is an album going to be out??!! I want one!!

[@JakeMaciorowski]

You guys are epic!

[@imhyde1475]

Thank you for the vid.

[@RobChappers]

You're right mate, every video seems to show me as being quiet... it seems all sound men consider me a "Rhythm/singer" and just put me low in the mix...

[@NakuuukaN]

where can u get the chappers cymbal? it sounds amazing!

[@TheKyleKunkel]

What is that first bell? Doesn't sound like a Zil Bell to me. Really dug the sound.

[@deekerr1613]

The reason Ben can't get endorsed is because he keeps mixing brands. DW, Yamaha, Pearl, Sabian, Istanbul, Zildjian, Stagg, Evans, AND Chapman! I still think the ghost snare is all you'll be getting anytime soon for a signature (recent reference on an old video?!?! What is this madness). I'd truly love to see Ben get endorsed though, best wishes.

[@joelcoool]

+D Kerr He could be endorsed by Evans in future since he doesn't use any other brand of heads

[@deekerr1613]

True, yeah maybe.

[@joelcoool]

+D Kerr he might be endorsing them currently because he got to try the level 360 thing early and he also got to try promarks select balance early so idk

[@alexmok2]

He currently endorses Evans and Promark.

[@LucaTiraterra]

Cool!

[@GuitaristAidan]

That was wicked phr3sh

[@guitarflores2213]

you should do a sound check video as well!!!

[@tomweaver6324]

is that ride a brilliant or traditional finish?

[@zachwillowbay1553]

“This is from the 70’s” But Sabian was created in 81 ._.

[@Rekilo]

God damn Ben has such nice hair. That's got to be like 30% of the tone.

[@tgrules565]

Was the pad there in Notts. Can't remember hearing any sub drops or other sounds?

[@jamesseatonnnn]

Man I was just in PMT in birmingham and one of the guys working there MUST have been related to Ben, Looked and sounded the same... even spoke in the same way and had the same mannerisms and everything O_o

[@ghiblinerd6196]

your sabian hi hat top looks like an AA regular.

[@erikfraunfelter3628]

I probably don't have to tell you that Sabian was not around as a company in the 70's

[@elithepitbulldog2209]

Exactly what I thought. It is a regular aa bottom from the 80s. I own one, from 85 to 87 era. And great hats. Now if I could just get them back from someone who borrowed them

[@Azriel54]

I hope you get endorsed by Meinl. Then you can be called Ben Meinl

[@BranMuzsick]

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

[@tMatt5M]

My favorite part about this opening is the "EHHHGG" at 0:18.

[@Peace4everybody1]

Ben! You're the grass! Anyone else remembers?

[@JkDubbed]

Do you ever ride your trash stack on the crash instead of hitting the china? Hope that makes sense lol

[@JkDubbed]

Look into the Grombal bro, MUCH better than those Pearl "washers"

[@Andrew0472]

no dixon set?

[@ratsalad1]

Dat sub drop.

[@JoshJK1999]

Dave gear tour?

[@VWcRaZyO24]

Which Istanbul Agop hat is that?

[@MrLU2000]

Y U No use a gong?!

[@skylordgaming6273]

omg i want that sub drop in my pad lol

[@AttilaThebung]

Who did that mic'ing? Looks really bad...

[@RNAMusic]

Chappers alloy.

[@SuperPbizzle]

He tried both and the dw won out

[@andrewichigo]

If he were amaerican he could run for office XDD

[@sionlewis827]

I hate racks, makes kits look ugly.

[@BenLubin]

get chappers to shut up singing in the background.

[@Steefpeer]

that chappers certainly has great tone! If I'm not mistaken that sixth spot on your effects board is free...
