@@suburbanindie most of the samples are no longer than a few seconds long so we have to listen and adjust our tempos as we play. It’s a great feeling when you nail it though.

Ben comes across so well, you can tell that he's just a guy living his best life playing drums for the fun of it. No wanky pretentiousness from it, just a guy and his best mate playing music with a bonus of getting paid.

I used to play their entire first album as a drum warmup. I know those songs backwards and forwards. They're not hard, they're high-energy, and they're simply a blast to play. I always describe the first album as a soundtrack to the longest bar fight in human history. It's so bad ass.

I saw Royal Blood open for Queens of the Stone Age in Toronto around 2018. Don't get me wrong, QOTSA sounded amazing and put on a great show, but Royal Blood were my favourite part. It was the heaviest sound I had ever heard. My ears couldn't reconcile with my eyes only seeing two guys up there. Ben is a fantastic drummer. I can think of few drummers that are that solid no matter what beat is being played.

I saw Ben causally standing outside Finsbury Park station in London just minding his own business. Wish I’d stopped to say hello but thought it was pretty cool to see a bonafide rockstar in every day life.
@ryantobin1007 3 місяці тому
Ben is an excellent drummer to play a long to. He's clean and his parts sound relatively simple but they have enough spice to them to keep it fun and interesting. He's right that Out of the Black is definitely a song that helps your left hand. One of my favorite drummers and just straight up good dude.

Found this band from nowhere, just a few people listening. Moments after that, playing Forza Horizon 3 I was surprised with 2 song of them in the game. One week ago went to the show of them here in Rio de Janeiro, and can say. They are wild, and have a such unique energy. Ben pointed to me and wave his hand tô me at beginning of the show. I really fall for they sound. And knew a bunch of people who is fan from the bottom ❤. Ben, you're amazing.

I've been a Royal Blood fan since I first heard them. Saw them live once in 2018, gonna see them in April again. I gotta say I'm REALLY impressed that the tracks are triggered by Ben and not automatic while playing to a click track. I would have assumed that was the case. This makes my appreciation for this band much bigger. Great video!
