I'm a bassist who stumbled over here to learn some more about what the drummer is thinking and improve my own sense of rhythm/timing. This lesson is outstanding and packed with transferable knowledge. Loving it
That moment when you get spiritual guidance from Buddha himself. Lol. But forreal, mad respect. I play both drums and bass, and I'm here for a similar reason. Plus, I LOVE the design this man had on his signature practice pad. That shit is RICH with symbolism and meaning. I'm gonna cop one.
Although I total believe he could count out an entire solo, I'm sure that he had a guide track counting for him separate from the mix playback we just heard..
My favorite part of the lesson was when Benny talked about not having a "music background" and thinking that maybe he "doesn't have it." I have had those doubts in the past and occasionally still do, but the at the end of the day, it comes down to the effort you show and the dedication you have. That's a message I think all drummer and musicians and PEOPLE should really apply to their lives in their own ways.
My small, very miniscule nugget of wisdom is that let the drumming come forth from within like a spring gushing water. You cannot stop a spring from giving water. If you are chosen by God to "water" the earth, let it pour forth!
Drumeo "Time" and "Feel" sections. On the other hand you must be as perfect as possible metronome for a band. On the other hand without great "internal mix" between hats, ride, crashes, ghost notes, rimshots and kicks entire song will sound weak without groove and drive.
Drumeo "Time" and "Body" sections are my favourites. "Time" because, in my opinion, Benny Greb explains the concept of time and how to develop your internal metronome better than other drummers. "Body" was also so interesting because no one until now had never explained that concept.
Drumeo Favorite parts are the "Time" and "Open Drum Solo". Benny is a savage and a huge inspiration in the drumming community. Thanks Drumeo for having him!
Drumeo I'm sorry I'm such a poor musician that I can't afford a subscription. With that said, THANK YOU FOR MAKING THESE LESSONS AVAILABLE ON HERE FOR FREE!!
Ken Clarke he may not be the most popular to listen to, but his style and use of different sounds is so unique that it could inspire a whole generation of new drummers
@Ken Clarke Important, as in he's influenced lots of the more popular drummers in the world. And he's very well known in the Jazz Drumming, but in mainstream music, he's definitely not well known.
@Ken Clarke There have been musician's musicians since forever. Some of them are remembered, some don't. It doesn't make any difference. Skill is skill.
@JoshSteffen YOU ARE RAD DUDE! I really dig your stuff man. Your Skeletons Of Society video got my attention, I probably watched that 30-40 times man. I've been playing drums 8 months now. Dude, I've been playing guitar in bands, writing my own songs for 28 years. I was never entirely happy with any drummers I'd played with in a bands. I come from a family of drummers also. I am astounded at how much better of a guitar player I've become almost by not playing the guitar and playing the drums, it's hard to explain. I'm a huge Primus fan also dude, Larry LaLonde and Dave Navarro were why I actually burned those midnight hours on the fretboard in the very beginning, "the birthing"- Dude that's a cool title for a Korn inspired song!! The original Korn drummer is a huge influence in my strike & groove. And Joey Jordison.."One more time M'fer" You nailed that song, that's dope AF homie! So much love Josh!!💯

Drumeo Great! For me this was first drumeo lesson, but not the first time I listen to Benny. My favorite parts were the time and feel, cuz was nice to lear some different ways of how to feel the time, in this case using the way you breathe.
Drumeo My favorite part has to be Benny playing Grebfruit. Also as a german myself i liked how he sometimes used very typical german sayings and just translated them literally into english :D
For some reason I feel he is the happiest drummer I’ve seen, transmitting this happiness into the instrument and to the audience! That is what really inspires me.
I'm 60 years old, I've been a guitarist/singer for a long time but I started studying drums last year. I thank Benny for all his work and for the great help he is giving me.
I've been doing yoga a lot for a year or two and one of the things my instructor makes me focus on is breathing throughout each move. I took a break from drums during this time and when I went back to my kit, I noticed I was holding my breath during fills. I adjusted and started to play with a better frame of mind, less stress and more enjoyment. I'm very glad Benny brought this up.
I’ve started practicing the drums everyday now at age 51, and I haven’t had any lessons except for what I’ve seen from you and a couple other great musicians and enjoy every minute of it. Keep your videos coming
Benns Greb is one of the most innovative and inspiring teachers and musicians of our time! This lessons are also great and usefull for every other musician, not only for drummers.
I didn't plan on watching this whole video. But Mr. Benny is so captivating, and precise at explaining. That, not only did i watch the whole video, i rewinded certain parts. This really is pure gold. Im so thankful that this exist at my fingertips.
Benny is funny and top 10 influential players of our time. For a drummer I'd say that experience was super informative, insightful, and funny. If not a drummer, it would very likely be just as awesome of an experience, because the great Benny Greb is an unintentional comedian. I'd pay good money just to see a stand up with him!
@@weightoawesome3455 I would be in awe if I was able to see him live. He and Anika Nilles are two German drummers that are exceptionally impressive and fluent
@@paradiddle5150 dude it was a 15 person, 3 day masterclass. We ate dinner every night together, hung out all day, chilled at the hotel in the evening. Then at the end of the masterclass, everyone got 2 mins to jam with him. I often wonder if he’d remember me now. He sure made a lasting impression on me!
I'm just getting back into playing after many years away from it. I see just how good benny is and at the same time am encouraged that I can achieve this level of prowess at some point because of his teaching technique and overall laid back style. I'm not a pro, he is but i have ope that I can be that good at some point.Not to mention I really enjoyed the music he was playing along with.Thanks Benny for your encouraging way of teaching,I felt more like we were friends hanging out in your living room rather than a pro talking at someone who isn't as capable as you are.
Soundzman CONGRATS Soundzman, your comment was one of the three chosen to win a signed copy of Benny's new DVD "The Art & Science Of Groove"! A private message has been sent with more info :)
Props to Drumeo for getting all these phenomenal drummers out there. Benny is incredible, as usual. And thanks to Jared in particular for being a good host. P.S. Wish you'd have Gavin Harrison or Danny Carey next. Can never get enough of those.
Jojo Mayer shits on everyone's head. Literally. The guy is an either-you-get-inspired-or-you-drop-the-sticks-forever type of destruction machine, I don't think anyone can compare. Cindy Blackman is basicly a force of nature. Todd Sucherman has that humble virtuoso type of playing that you just can't pay for. Jack DeJohnette flies over the kit. Ahri Hoenig plays melodies and the kit, even modulates that shit around. Virgil plays different subdivisions split between different members and does different odd groupings over that. Benny is very good, but he's still got a lot to learn compared to the Masters. That's why he's so humble: he knows he has a lot to learn, despite all he accomplised so far
To be honest, I can't perceive if you are being sarcastic or not but I will assume that way:p I did not suggest that and even if you have click playing in your ear, you still must play the exactly same number of bars every time which still makes it an amazing performance. I just felt like a click track is more likely.
No I wasn't being sarcastic. And the fact that (if it's true what you are saying though) he or any drummer uses a click track while playing these kind of things doesn't make the performance any less fantastic. Counting bars is indeed kinda difficult to do for two minutes while playing a solo.
There's also a chance that his in-ear mix could have some counts and cues like "Bridge, 2, 3, 4" and "Solo, 2, 3, 4" etc to help guide through the song. I'm not saying that's what he did, because if anyone can groove with an off-time feel for so long and still come back in on the beat, it's this guy, but I'm just throwing out another possibility!
It's a blast to watch. but it's not really a lesson. Greb is an awesome communicator, but while I find this video very interesting to watch, I don't find it very coherent at all. It's basically concept, described in a very concrete manner, followed by a Greb groove that only tangentially connects to the description.
He is one of the most humble drummers around. He plays for the sheer joy of it as opposed to some drummers who like to strut their stuff. There are flashier drummers around but I will take Benny over any of them.
This guy is a REALLY, REALLY good drum instructor. He has a kind soul & is like a "performing encyclopedia" -like a drummer performing encyclopedia. Y'all feel me? ,
Benny!! That fill at 59:59 into 1:00:02 Nearly stopped my heart! I love your approach to drumming with a scientific perspective. Truly amazing! I'm looking forward towards purchasing your DVD. Thank you Benny for taking your time and energy to compose this learning curriculum, and thank you Jared for continuing to have an open platform available to enlighten drummers abroad worldwide.
The Gods and Goddesses of Rhythm and Cool and Casual and Humble got together and decided to bring Benny Greb into the world. And aren't we all most grateful indeed.
Benny gets me inkling to jump on a set and... believe it or not.. PRACTICE! Thank you for this video and THANK YOU BENNY! To my next drum session with Mind, Feel, Flow, Sound, and TO SOLO!
And the winners are.... Soundz Man, Akos Marsi, and Griffus111! Congrats on winning a signed copy of Benny Greb's "Art & Science Of Groove". th-cam.com/video/nkxg6MjJodU/w-d-xo.html
That look on 5:21 and the appreciation after that killed me. It's really cool to find video's like this where you see somebody doing something with so much feeling and talent (and obviously an amazing amount of practice). I have nothing with drumming. But this guy is something special. Amazing
He cheats a little bit :) If you watch closely you can see that on top of the second snare lays an unmounted additional drum-head. This is like a dampening ring taken to the extreme.
1:00:37 - what's the name of the technique he is using in his left hand, I don't think I've ever seen that before, unless it's a variation on something? idk... Could somebody please tell me, thanks
+DobsonFynley I'm not sure that technique has a name - might even be something Benny invented to facilitate the 4 stroke, to maximize rebound. Looks like a wildly twisted Moeller whip. I could certainly be wrong, tho. I'm curious too.
It's a moeller modification Jojo Mayer came up with but lots of other drummers use now. I suggest looking into jojo's videos for the best breakdown of it. It's a fantastic technique that can be used to get up to 6 hits in one swoop
+Don Williamson what are you talking about? It's a just a free rebound with twisting wrist to control amount of rebounds. It's not a "technique". It can't even be called a grip.
Nick games I’m a drummer and I’m first to admit that a drum kit is not a musical instrument. It is merely for timekeeping or in more advanced drumming terms, the art of subdividing the beat. You shouldn’t feel shame or anger, embrace drums as a glorified metronome. Nothing more and I’m a drummer.
@@JS45678 you're acting as if the drummer doesn't make a difference to a song. Instead of getting into some stupid argument, I am just going to point you to some songs. Breathing Underwater by Hiatus Kaiyote, Lippincott by Animals as Leaders, Lingus by Snarky Puppy, Lateralus by Tool, Strings of Light by Yussef Kamaal, Sugar Cane by Nubiyan Twist. Listen to these songs, really listen, and you will understand.
+Lukas T Or even maybe a part of the track pplaying on in his in-ears, with some riffs and cues continuing. He can mix his monitor-track as he likes and output something else to the audience. But you are right, it migt just be a click.
As a guitarist I was advised to check out Benny Greb after asking a drumming collegue about groove and everything that goes with it. Ordered his two DVDs (waiting for them as I write this) and watched this video to get an idea about what he does. Bennys lessons should be standard for every musician! Looking forward to the DVDs. Thx for this video!
I'm a guitarist, i can drum for shit....but this vid was amazing!!!! Really helped me out in thinking the way of programming drums when im doing that. Awesome vid, awesome drummer!

Benny is a special drummer. His unique signature and groove are inspiring and he seems to always be expanding his sound. Every time I watch him or Larnell, I pick up something. Even with all of his talent he seems humble and kind. Keep it up Benny and thanks Drumeo!

Are you into drums?

This teacher are full of passion, characteristic and skillful
He took a 2 minute solo in between the intro song. And after two minutes he landed exactly on the kicks...... This guy is a god. 😨😱
He is incredible but probably had a click track sent to his earphones, it's a little hard to see because of his headwear :)
Ksianth yeah, that must be it, cause no one is able solo for 2 minutes and then kand it exactly on the kick

Whoever disliked this might as well throw their kit into the sun.
It's a blast to watch. but it's not really a lesson. Greb is an awesome communicator, but while I find this video very interesting to watch, I don't find it very coherent at all. It's basically concept, described in a very concrete manner, followed by a Greb groove that only tangentially connects to the description.
Don't have people throw their kits into the sun, they should give the kits away to people who want to play drums.
I think Benny IS giving a lesson, it's just not organized as a specific lesson, per se.
Must be all guitarists.
Hahaha ok. This dude is new to me ,he has a weird style ,I like weird.
He is one of the most humble drummers around. He plays for the sheer joy of it as opposed to some drummers who like to strut their stuff. There are flashier drummers around but I will take Benny over any of them.
After watching Benny Grebs DVDs I have decided he is the Yoda of drumming
"When something really grooves, it's an outgrowth of empathy". I love this dude, so incredibly inspirational.
I have to get his DVD.
With the name Benny Greb, he was destined for greatness. I thought he was in his 70's, and battled Buddy

Inspiration for Easy Drum Beat that Sounds Hard at 3:50? Anyway, great stuff
Well well well look who it is
A hit is never late, nor is it early, it arrives precisely when Benny G. mean it to.
Hi Greb you are a great drummer bro and also quite good in teaching, the world is blessed with people like you.
What a musical drummer beautiful to watch and listen too
Some day you will be a good drummer Benny, keep practicing! Practice makes perfect!
And the winners are.... Soundz Man, Akos Marsi, and Griffus111! Congrats on winning a signed copy of Benny Greb's "Art & Science Of Groove".

Drumeo cools
Drumeo Virgil Donati!!! Please!! He is the absolute master!
Virgil Donati seria Excelente.
Abraços do Brasil
Where can I get "Next Question" as a play along?
Drumeo So where's Jared's Grebfruit cover?
That look on 5:21 and the appreciation after that killed me. It's really cool to find video's like this where you see somebody doing something with so much feeling and talent (and obviously an amazing amount of practice). I have nothing with drumming. But this guy is something special. Amazing
not only is this guy masterful, he seems like he would be an awesome dude to have a beer with!
Heard this one before
Same comment 3 times. Weirdo
"Focus camps"..."Germany"...? Concentration camps??? DID THE EDITORS READ THIS???? Love Benny, and Jared was funny geeking out about Benny.
Did you see how red he was? Lmao
You beated me so here is my like
Deine Mudda
Seriously. This plus his affinity for bill OReilly makes me question Benny a bit.
Im New to drums and I'm 54 years young . Played guitar for ever. Addicted!
That side snare isn't just fat, it's morbidly obese.
He cheats a little bit :) If you watch closely you can see that on top of the second snare lays an unmounted additional drum-head. This is like a dampening ring taken to the extreme.
Well yes that what makes a snare fat.
Your comment rules.
Josh Steffen you fucking rule :D
@@VictorCardena3 ;)
Benny Grebb, drum philosopher
best drummer I've known so far
Miglior batterista negli ultimi 20 anni.
Best Drummer in the last 20 years.
haha I love how Jared is completely fanboying Benny xD
The first song of the video, WHAT A GROOOOOVE! Where does this genius drummer come from???
Germany ;)
1:00:37 - what's the name of the technique he is using in his left hand, I don't think I've ever seen that before, unless it's a variation on something? idk... Could somebody please tell me, thanks
+DobsonFynley I'm not sure that technique has a name - might even be something Benny invented to facilitate the 4 stroke, to maximize rebound. Looks like a wildly twisted Moeller whip. I could certainly be wrong, tho. I'm curious too.
It's a moeller modification Jojo Mayer came up with but lots of other drummers use now. I suggest looking into jojo's videos for the best breakdown of it. It's a fantastic technique that can be used to get up to 6 hits in one swoop
+Robert Mirabelle ^
+Don Williamson what are you talking about? It's a just a free rebound with twisting wrist to control amount of rebounds. It's not a "technique". It can't even be called a grip.
Just opening and closing with ur front heel that is the good way to keep the foot on hi hat
This is Fantastic. He is so humble which makes not only a fantastic drummer but an awesome person.
Thanks for sharing this.
Benny Greb is awesome!!!
160 people still think drumming is just banging on a bunch of things
Reply if your in the same situation were unintelligent people from school keep saying drumming is not an instrument
Nick games I’m a drummer and I’m first to admit that a drum kit is not a musical instrument.
It is merely for timekeeping or in more advanced drumming terms, the art of subdividing the beat.
You shouldn’t feel shame or anger, embrace drums as a glorified metronome. Nothing more and I’m a drummer.
@@JS45678 you are disgustingly, depressingly wrong.
Chris Brock Please tell me where I’m wrong my friend. I’m a drummer and guitarist, I’m always open to being educated.
@@JS45678 you're acting as if the drummer doesn't make a difference to a song. Instead of getting into some stupid argument, I am just going to point you to some songs. Breathing Underwater by Hiatus Kaiyote, Lippincott by Animals as Leaders, Lingus by Snarky Puppy, Lateralus by Tool, Strings of Light by Yussef Kamaal, Sugar Cane by Nubiyan Twist. Listen to these songs, really listen, and you will understand.
4:59 what da? is that the actual song? how is it possible to come in like that again after all that "improvising" ;O
+Lukas T a click. he knows how many measures there were in between
+Caleb Poe oh i see^^ thanks!
+Lukas T Or even maybe a part of the track pplaying on in his in-ears, with some riffs and cues continuing. He can mix his monitor-track as he likes and output something else to the audience. But you are right, it migt just be a click.
+Lukas T He has a click in his in-ears :)
+Lukas T the guy on the laptop may be beatmatching? or hes got a click/cue track in his ears
Coming back after 8 years again ! Im starting again and this used to be the few videos i watched then ! Nostalgic….! !
i think every drum video is shoes commercial
Underrated comment. Makes me wonder if any of the drummers that do these sorts of things regularly have a shoe deal?
haha :-)
I *think* Stan Bicknell does have a shoe deal.
In the eye of the beholder
Royalty Check! gracias.
7:46 - He calls them "Focus Camps"
...
Not to be confused with....
;-)
God Benny greb is so good he makes my toes tingle!
really dude
Mike Lumer If he would have said Concentration Camps, i would have lost it lol.
Mike Lumer This just made my day
Mike Lumer you deserve one of the dvd's!!!
Jared looks like he's fangirling over Benny xD
And why not
who wouldnt dude
Yep. I'm doing it at home.
We all are...
These sayings today are just so dumb! FANGIRLING ,good grief ,ugh.I'd kick ya in the shin if you called me a Fangirl.
One of the best backing tracks in this performance. Usually not the case. Anyway…👍🏿
one of the best lessons to date in my opinion.
jojo mayer could add up to that ;-)
6:06 umm... he's not hitting the cymbal? or is it just a weird angle.
Man you're right!!! How TF nobody commented on this... :)
@@brunch1691980 & the cymbal still moves...😳
Hes hitting into it while hitting the snare at that part
@This is what she said nope, you got it lol
Grapefruit is by far my favorite song by Benny Greb. Great lesson, great person.
Ps: The Clinic that he did at Musicians Institute was amazing
Esteban Carvajal you should hear that 'im tweaked' from benny... thats my favourite
As a guitarist I was advised to check out Benny Greb after asking a drumming collegue about groove and everything that goes with it. Ordered his two DVDs (waiting for them as I write this) and watched this video to get an idea about what he does. Bennys lessons should be standard for every musician! Looking forward to the DVDs. Thx for this video!
benny at drumeo..
live complete..
Good to see Benny finally bought new shoes :D
after all of those years... :D
penkata drums oh my god haha
+penkata drums speaking of the shoes. what is his shoes? I'm currently looking nike's shoes 1 by 1 but I can't find it >.
+Ken Arandia They're Nike Free 5.0 :)
+Cameron Weaver Yes, I've seen it dude and bought it. Haha. Thanks though :D
focus camps in germany....glad he didnt use another word for focus, great video though!
haha
He probably does lol
As soon as I heard him say, camps in Germany, I went straight to the comments.
He also tried his techniques on the kids apparently 14:45 haha I always come back to this vid, love it
Literally came to the comments to find a comment about that
2 million views?! I believe it, it deserves it. I've literally watched this episode at least 30 times.
bring gavin harrison please drumeo
He is going to teach a lesson in August 21st this year!
It's out
I'm a guitarist, i can drum for shit....but this vid was amazing!!!! Really helped me out in thinking the way of programming drums when im doing that.
Awesome vid, awesome drummer!
Dang!!! Pocket, groove, solid, and just plain amazing!!
#QueRrriiicooo
My favorite part of drumming is laying down a good grove.. and this guy got it next level.. really enjoy his approach
Amazing...
***** CONGRATS Akos, your comment was one of the three chosen to win a signed copy of Benny's new DVD "The Art & Science Of Groove"! A private message has been sent with more info :)
Drumeo can you list the other two winners as well? i'm dying to know if i won, cuz if not i wanna buy asap. thanks Drumeo!
Drumeo Thank You guys! :) I replied in PM.
That's a nice finish on the spongebob kit he has there.... ;)
good drummer. you are my buddy rich
Benny is a special drummer. His unique signature and groove are inspiring and he seems to always be expanding his sound. Every time I watch him or Larnell, I pick up something. Even with all of his talent he seems humble and kind. Keep it up Benny and thanks Drumeo!
Chris Coleman NEXT please. Pretty please, with extra cream cheese on top?
Maarten Valentin I forgot to say how amazing this video is. Benny Greb, you rule man!
Nice Bill O'Reilly reference. "DO IT LIVE!"
