Benny Greb is everywhere in 2026 | Moving Parts tour, Meinl demos and a practice journal

If it feels like Benny Greb is everywhere at the moment, that is because he is. Here is a quick round-up of what the groove master has been up to.

Moving Parts are still on the road

Benny continues to tour with his trio Moving Parts — Chris Montague on guitar and Chris Hargreaves on bass — with European dates running through 2025 and into 2026, wrapped around his usual clinic schedule for Sonor and Meinl.

If you have never seen Benny live, fix that. Watching him play in a band context rather than a clinic is a masterclass in serving the music. Keep an eye on his official site for dates near you.

New Meinl cymbals on show

Benny has also been out demoing new Meinl cymbals, including a joint appearance in 2025 with fellow Meinl artist Thomas Lang. Two of the most complete drummers alive on one stage — not a bad night out.

Track your practice like Benny

And for the practice-obsessed: Benny’s Effective Practicing for Musicians platform now has its own EPM Practice Journal. If you read our Benny Greb feature, you will know he documents every practice session — what he worked on, at what tempo, and how it felt. The journal turns that exact system into something you can put on your music stand.

We are big believers in this approach. Ten focused minutes with a plan beats an hour of noodling every single time.

Final thoughts

Touring, new cymbals, and tools to make the rest of us better — that is a very Benny Greb year. See his full 2026 rig in the Rig Vault to find out exactly what he is playing right now.
