Benny Greb is a household name to drum enthusiasts around the world, and fans on the Seacoast will soon have a chance to seem him up close. Greb will offer a clinic at the Drum Center of Portsmouth on Thursday, Sept. 23.

A native of Germany, Greb got his first drum set when he was 6 years old and has been honing his percussive skills ever since. He attended music schools in Dinkelsbuhl and Hamburg, where he now lives. He has toured around the globe and performed with bands in a variety of genres, including rock, jazz, funk, fusion and classical.

Greb’s Portsmouth visit comes during a run of just eight drum clinics around North America. His stop at the Drum Center marks his only clinic in New England. A number of giveaways will follow the workshop.

The event begins at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 23 at the Drum Center of Portsmouth, 800 Islington St., #4, Portsmouth, 603-319-8109. Tickets are $5.
