green beats is a percussion - Ensemble of Osnabruck in Germany .

The band's trademark are the numerous neon green drums on which the musicians play. Performances by Greenbeats consist of a mixture of drum performances and effects in the form of choreographies or lighting and pyrotechnics.

The band plays percussion and drum shows. Greenbeats achieved worldwide fame through their invention of the drum octagon, a special arrangement of eight drums in the shape of an octagon. The video with a performance on three drum octagons, first published on Facebook and later on Youtube, was viewed around 15,000,000 times. On the stage, Greenbeats use up to 150 different drums, which are arranged in innovative and unusual shapes. Not infrequently, the musicians also have to play drums that hang over their heads. Most of the drums the group uses are homemade with special tonal characteristics.

The band is musically led by Timm Pieper, one of the co-founders. Timm Pieper writes the music program for the band.
