Jojo and Benny are 2 of the best drummers on this planet. That was amazing. The thing that makes these guys so good is their control. They can blaze around a kit so fast they'd set it on fire but they retain that and just get groovy and dynamic as hell. Great great great great...great video.
i always thought JoJo was super-UNORIGINAL (sure, doing drum-and-bass can be tricky, but not unique or original) .... but I saw a video of him the other day where he's getting more creative in his old age!
That awfull moment when you need your sticks to annoy people with paraddidles on the hihats in a cymbal booth and instead you have to lend them to Benny Greb. :(
I know....and him asking you 'Can I use them for a second', and you trying to decide whether you'll allow him or not...... Decisions, decisions........;-)
I think Jojo Mayer is underplaying here because usually what happens when he goes all out is he makes the sound of about 8 different drum machines at the same time, no one needs that here
I think it must be lol, I even remember seeing Steve Smith with a scarf in a recent video, and he's with Sonor too, maybe it's another "conspiracy theory" ooooooh (scary ghost noises) lmao
These 2 drummers are so amazing. Yet I can't help but think of this as 2 boxers who are both so good that they don't know how to fight each other, so they just bob and weave forever. I love both of these guys but this collaboration was surprisingly mild in it's entertainment factor.
These guys are the best in in their style of drumming which are in different rays of the spectrum. Which IMO takes a little time to get use to each other and find common ground.
Yeah I was wondering that too, but they are in Germany so I guess it makes sense, and then for a second I thought about how funny it would be if Benny Greb or Jojo Mayer sponsored Mercedes Benz, lol imagine what the commercial would be like, but of course that would never happen...
because mercedes got craploads of money... much more than sonor. also: look for benny grebs car door solo. now imagine that car to be a merc. that's how it would look
TheLasagneLP Benny Greb's car door solo yea? I'll have to check that out. I've always loved the unique feel he plays with, and how he can easily improvise on nothing but a hi-hat, kick, snare, floor tom, with a ride and crash for is cymbals. IMO that is one of the main ways to demonstrate a drummers true skill behind the kit, and there's nothing wrong with lots of drums and cymbals, but it all starts with establishing the foundation of the basics.
That non stop stare of Jojo... I'd shit myself if I were Benny... However Benny the legend he is just stays on his A-game and matches the awesomeness. Gods on drums right here.
Nop, wrong indeed. You could, at most, argue that Jojo is playing more straight and Benny has more swing in it, which may to you be the difference between clinical and musical. But anyone with his mind straight won't say either one of them is the more musically talented one, that's insane. But unless you have standards by which I could measure musicality, that you could explain to me, that would be great.
Ok, give your definition of musicality. :) And i did not intend to classify or who is the best or better. Just watch Jojo Dvd and Benny Dvd. And may be, you may understand what i mean. And don't forget to enjoy it.
Michael Rakoto saying jojo is has less musicality than benny is being absolutely unaware of what jojo does :) both of them are equally creative and innovative to the drumming world
this is call going for a walk!.. one cat keeps the groove other solos off it.. can tell they both getting use to each other during the performance, but looks fun!
+Harpan Budi Santoso if you saw "scrt weapons for the modern drummer" you would know that he changes grips according to how he feels in the moments, and that's also true for every drummer i've known or seen... even myself, sometimes i feel like traditional, others i just feel like match
you sould spend more time watching these guys dvds then, if you havent. jojo is basicly showing only the technique and benny just explores the musicality of the drums as a whole and all of his exercises are in a great musical contex. still they are both great musicians tho and two of my fav drummers!! (;
all drummers must wear scarfs, i improoved a lot since i bought mine.
+Afonso Serro Especially when it's cold!
Jojo and Benny are 2 of the best drummers on this planet. That was amazing. The thing that makes these guys so good is their control. They can blaze around a kit so fast they'd set it on fire but they retain that and just get groovy and dynamic as hell. Great great great great...great video.
It's art. Not a competition about being "best".
Releasing their line of signature scarfs.
It was about time, eh?
Where can I purchase one of these talent scarfs these men are wearing?
+Glenn McClue they're like martial art belts - they must be earned
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
"can i use them for a second?" No - Screw you Benny Greb, get your own sticks!
"Only if you sign them afterwards, take a selfie with me, and give 20 free online lessons."
They would be put to better use with him anyway.
hahahaha
😂😂
He should use any stick if he's that good not ask for
Both are in my top 10 of favorite drummers. Nuts
The groove levels in this video are over 9000!!
the two best scarf salesmen on the planet.
AahhhhJOJOMAYERRRRRR!!!!!
ahahahahah lol
i always thought JoJo was super-UNORIGINAL (sure, doing drum-and-bass can be tricky, but not unique or original) .... but I saw a video of him the other day where he's getting more creative in his old age!
me escojono jajaja

Decisions, decisions........;-)
Id rather lend them to benny greb
they having a really great time, so fun that make me smile.
Sounds really awesome!
what a dream jam this is.... I'm a fan of both
I think Jojo Mayer is underplaying here because usually what happens when he goes all out is he makes the sound of about 8 different drum machines at the same time, no one needs that here
Jojo didn't want it to become a battle. He was upset that his jam tony rooster jr and Steve smith became like that.
+Larry Tate what jam?
I agree totally.. he kicks ass every time and usually every drummer..
Those Hihats of Jojo Mayer are Sabian HHX 14" Fierce Hats.
Both of them are so amazing...
Jota Morelli one the best Argentinian drummers!!! Jojo and Benny are from the other planet!!!
So is a scarf a requirement to be a Sonor artist or something?
I think it must be lol, I even remember seeing Steve Smith with a scarf in a recent video, and he's with Sonor too, maybe it's another "conspiracy theory" ooooooh (scary ghost noises) lmao
I don't think Gavin Harrison wears a scarf.
its cold out there
BenjaminForsethDrums : a scarf is always handy to muffle the drums.
Yes. Next question.
Benny and Jojo?! Playing together?! When I die, that's my heaven.
Musical - that's what drummers SHOULD be - and those are two of the finest.
This really made my day
That was an awesome conversation.
Ohh yesss...best drum performance.So now ı must go and get the mercedes in that picture, yes..
Very tasteful. Love it. Total studs.
Jojo is head and shoulders above the others!
This is the definition of beauty!!
three of the best drummers today !
This is beautiful.
which is which there both musical and technique masters
cool. I was asking for Jojo and Benny for a long time. looks like they answered the call for whatever reasons.
Scarve and hipster styles aside....those are 2 greats up there and both are just unbelievably creative!
wow lo maximo!!
So creative!
Phenomenal!
Well, that's the funnest (almost) 12 minutes I've had in awhile.
its the scarves that give them such power...
"3A? what's that"
-Benny Greb 2013
Wonderful.
COL ...this was great! Clapped out loud..
Its the little things i find fascinating about jojos drumming. Look at his right hand on the hi hats, so solid its insane.
Good video
what a dream come true that would be to see in the flesh.
I herd of the photo bomb but the drum bomb?
These 2 drummers are so amazing. Yet I can't help but think of this as 2 boxers who are both so good that they don't know how to fight each other, so they just bob and weave forever. I love both of these guys but this collaboration was surprisingly mild in it's entertainment factor.
This is art!
musicians @ work
what size bassdrum does benny use?
GRANDE JOTAAA
is the guy on the right the other guys' teacher?
muuy bueno , lograron momentos muy climaticos y grooveros
I really hope that Jojo didn't ignore that guy at 0:13. The dude looked speechless when Jojo walked away from him :(
I just would put to mourn there :'( haha
+B MB oh shit yeah he was being kind of a dickhead there
Jojo was an asshole to me when i went to see his band, but whatever I won't be all butthurt about it, he's a great artist.
What did he do specifically?
He was always a douche.
These guys are the best in in their style of drumming which are in different rays of the spectrum. Which IMO takes a little time to get use to each other and find common ground.
THAT Moment when you see a superstar( or just your idol) joining to jam with you... priceless
look at 6.28 and tell me they weren't vibing
Did Benny and Jojo have an argue or something?
JOJO has the street funk, Benny is great too what a treat
why is there a huge Mercedes in front of a tiny Sonor at NAMM?
Yeah I was wondering that too, but they are in Germany so I guess it makes sense, and then for a second I thought about how funny it would be if Benny Greb or Jojo Mayer sponsored Mercedes Benz, lol imagine what the commercial would be like, but of course that would never happen...
because mercedes got craploads of money... much more than sonor. also: look for benny grebs car door solo. now imagine that car to be a merc. that's how it would look
TheLasagneLP Benny Greb's car door solo yea? I'll have to check that out.

Fire and ice sometimes can make the best combination
the grin on my face watching this was beyond painful.
TOUR!!!!!
That record scratch part towards the end is great. How are they doing that ?
They're rubbing their sticks on the floor
This is a pretty nice view.
Benny is such an ego less, great person. He could play a basic beat and let jojo solo over it and be just as happy as if it was vice versa
These are sonor prolite kits they're both using here right?
I think he's talking about their hands and brains. Technique and musical masters respectively.
and beards/facial hair?
i was smiling from start to end
Jojo mayer el mejor
This videos awesome, but I know jojo’s capable of so much more. His nerve concerts are mind blowing.
Jojo makes the best faces when he drums.
talento indiscutível forever drum Deus 1 lugar
GROSOS JOJO Y JOTA!!!
When was Bennys moment?
That non stop stare of Jojo... I'd shit myself if I were Benny... However Benny the legend he is just stays on his A-game and matches the awesomeness. Gods on drums right here.
FALTA EL PRINCIPIO LOCO
夢のコラボレーション！！
que grande sos J
There Good.
Technical ability or style?
This is, the battle betwin tehcnicality and musicality
NO

Michael Rakoto saying jojo is has less musicality than benny is being absolutely unaware of what jojo does :)
both of them are equally creative and innovative to the drumming world
Nah this ain't a battle just two drummers jamming around together. Their nit even trading fours.
this is call going for a walk!.. one cat keeps the groove other solos off it.. can tell they both getting use to each other during the performance, but looks fun!
such similar styles, the jam doesn't go mental.
i hope that guy got his sticks back, i would cherish those till the day i die.
Why Jojo Mayer didn't use traditional grip as usual?
Harpan Budi Santoso same ask
+Harpan Budi Santoso if you saw "scrt weapons for the modern drummer" you would know that he changes grips according to how he feels in the moments, and that's also true for every drummer i've known or seen... even myself, sometimes i feel like traditional, others i just feel like match
MEIN SCARF IST BETTER DEN YOURS JOJO
thats a good accent, i swear i read it as "yoyo"
battle of scarfs
NO - *MEINL* SCARF IS BETTER
Lmfoa
Quality car, quality drums
"Does anyone have lighter sticks?" and instantly he gets lighter sticks...Fan Support ---Sweet : )
I could die a happy man right now
2 GOAT
Good call,,,,I need one to lol
isn't jojo mayer that guy from your body is a wonderland?
Dos Masters de la Bateria haciendo puras jaladas! :p
do any of you realize what we just watched?
Jojo puts rings around all his fellow drummers
Jojo trying to adapt to Greb's logic
Daniel Quiroz I think it’s the other way around haha. Benny’s like “wtf”
Yeah i feel like benny was perhaps a little nervous almost
Is Jota's name pronounced like Yoda? or Joe-duh?
hota(or chota),like in Julio
Whoever downvoted this video has no soul, seriously what's wrong with you..
What are these A8s? Let me try'em. Lol
I love jojo, even he don't like showoff now
Who the hell is that guy that comes mid way to disturb everyone?
you sould spend more time watching these guys dvds then, if you havent. jojo is basicly showing only the technique and benny just explores the musicality of the drums as a whole and all of his exercises are in a great musical contex. still they are both great musicians tho and two of my fav drummers!! (;
Did anybody else find it wierd when Jota Morelli took JoJo's only floor tom instead of one of the two Benny was using?
+Frank Harris Jota loves Jojo
i beat my neighbour in anger
