Skinny Puppy - "Worlock" - Justin Bennett Live Drumcam - 2015

My drumcam footage from the 2015 Skinny Puppy "Down The SocioPath" tour in Milwaukee MI at the Rave/Eagles Club (one of my favorite U.S. venues to play.) This is always a crowd favorite and one of mine to play as well. Just a single Gopro with camera audio so the sound isn't great, but it certainly gives an idea of what it's like for me to play drums with multiple projectors pointed in my eyes for the whole show!

[@steveanimatrix3887]

You've got a great groove dude. More than just great playing, you were basically dancing on those drums with style like you were at an industrial club with no drumset lol. Very cool to watch. Respect.

[@justinbennettdrums]

Thanks Steve!

Did you ever get to try out the drumosaurus?

[@fieldtripchannel2415]

Glad to find your channel, liked and subbed. I hope to see you playing in Fort Lauderdale next month for SP's show there. I met you on an ohGr tour in West Palm a few years back, great day.

[@justinbennettdrums]

Right on! Can’t wait to get back out on the road… see you there!

[@Sangria]

I’ll probably ask this on your Facebook but you are wearing an earpiece to listen to the rest of the band? If not is there a cue you focus on?

[@justinbennettdrums]

I have in-ear monitors with a mix of the band and sequences, drum machines, etc :-)

[@jasonjohnson1404]

I've been an SP fan since Last Rights came out in High School. Always wanted to see them live and finally got to on this last tour. So awesome to see your playing on this and so many other faves. I really appreciate that SP has generally valued having live drums in their shows. I know it adds a whole layer of technical issues. But the energy that you add on stage is huge! I was curious if you could explain your setup. Are you running triggers on most/all of your kit or strictly playing acoustically and leaving all synthetic elements to backing mix?

[@justinbennettdrums]

Thanks for the kind words! I too am appreciative of SP keeping live drums in the show. 😎 How to handle live drums in an industrial music live setting is always an important issue and in my experience gets handled in a lot of different ways from band to band or tour to tour even. With SP the sound is meant to be super heavy and electronic so most of the original drum machine parts are always there and I decide from song to song where to double up and where to play counter on an all acoustic drumkit (no triggers!)... I basically approach it as if there were two drummers in the band (like in King Krimson for example), but one is human and one is electronic. The two together make for a huge mechanical but organic sound. It's such a blast! 🤘

[@chicagomusicguide]

Very tight drumming, great work! Was that a beer with a water chaser at the end? Thanks for sharing!

[@justinbennettdrums]

It was! Gotta stay hydrated :-D

[@isaaccurrier]

Are you playing with Skinny Puppy on their upcoming tour??

[@justinbennettdrums]

Affirmative!

[@isaaccurrier]

@@justinbennettdrums Sweet, see you in Cleveland!!

[@garyh4458]

How much of SP drums are live vs drum machine?

[@justinbennettdrums]

As it's primarily electronic music, on the albums it's almost all programmed electronic drums or drum machines, but for the live shows we add the full acoustic drum kit along with the electronic drums and mix them together as if it were a band with 2 drummers, or a drummer and a percussionist, etc... only one drummer is me and the other drummer is the drum machine rhythms and percussion triggered by Cevin. :-)

[@garyh4458]

@@justinbennettdrums Thanks for the info! I figured it was something like that. Can you tell me what is actually being played on guitar? Most puppy songs don't have guitars in them. Is the guitar player just triggering midi stuff?

[@jamesmotter1221]

How long have you been drumming for them?

[@justinbennettdrums]

Since 2004 :-)

[@jamesmotter1221]

@@justinbennettdrums man you are lucky! Would be my dream to drum with them! You are a great drummer!

[@xiaoxia5]

what is the Gopro attached to? please record more SP footage on the upcoming tour.

[@justinbennettdrums]

It was attached to the music stand above my mini-mixer 😎 I’ll definitely be filming during the tour and posting here!

Many thanks!! Such a fun groove to play.
