Perfect marriage of technique and musicality. Fab.
Greb is the most organic player I have ever seen. He knows how to sound good. Just seems to know instinctively...from eons of practice and raw, innate feel. Imagine how many offers he gets to play with high profile acts\bands. It seems he uses what rep he has to just do what he wants to do, from a creative standpoint. Damn, I admire that.
definitely the most organic and versatile drummer on the web.
That's just...I don't have words. He's too good.
DrFridgeFondler and this was freaking 10yrs ago too
Right at the moment he takes off his glasses you know it's gonna get even more serious
Benny does my favorite thing with drums - he makes music with them!!
Benny Greb should have received many MD drummers poll awards, best clinician, best jazz, best whatever. Pity guys like him and Mangini doesnt get the recognition they deserve.
Benny may be the best overall drummer in the world. I don't say that lightly but Benny can kill it in every style of music. He can kill in jazz, then kill in metal (he has double bass chops that would shock many), then he has a nice handle on melodic Latin grooves as well even hand drumming abilities on congas.
the 1 thing , among other things, that i love about his drumming, is that he's not just about blinding chops and technique, but he's got a full grasp and comprehension of musicality, and makes the drums sing like no other drummer i've ever heard.. h'es just a superb, 1st class drummer !
i could listen to him groove all day long
This guy IS the most creative drummer on the planet, no questions
fantastic!
Benny you play and make pple spell bound. Thanks for being you
Benny is one of the most famous drummers in the business, the guy has his own Meinl Byzance cymbals, which are the best cymbals I've ever heard!
incredible control, dynamics and creativity. he will no doubt be leading the way for many many years to come. what. a musician!
OMFG that floor tom and that bass drum...such power!
as always the man si killing it with hes sense of time, musicality and of humor
What has always impressed me most of benny it's his natural approach to music behind drums; Watching his DVD, in particular when he shows how to divide a 4/4 pattern and how to take these divisions as the base of practice, is a great experience that i suggest to everyone; In some parts it's obvious to say "wtf??? Is that simple???" Awesome
One of the greats! Brilliant player, and plays grooves that no one can emulate the feel
Benny is just totally intune and understands the meaning of drums. Awe - Some Drummer!
i've been drumming for 30 years...and for the most part i've found drum solos pretty boring (including my own). i've always found it far more interesting to hear how a drummer plays within a song. Benny is an exception. flawless technique, but more importantly, he has incredible musical instincts and tremendous creativity. his solos are full of surprises and inspiration. he's clearly in a class by himself.
Incredible musician!
I loved that way he used the rattling of the snares even when they were turned off.
@Luis Rivera The ostinado is LRLR, with the & being on the hihat. So, that becomes KKHK. Very similar to a Samba ostinado, with the extra kick on the E. It's very cool sounding and also difficult. But, like everything out there...it just takes time and work to get it down.
This is just great music. His licks are like hip tunes. I enjoy this as much as most bands.
this guy is insanely amazing
Literally one of the best bass drum sounds i've heard.
I don't understand those who say this makes them wanna quit drumming... for me it just makes me wanna go and practice!! It doesn't even matter if it's totally out of my league.
this guy is so good it's ridiculous
I am in love with his trash hats
Benny is Great Musician. I like your's Grooves.
Very, very, very it's all.
Beautiful. It's been a while since I heard a drummer employing the high standard chops of the day - yet SO musically.
This guy is incredible.
much more fun to watch than lang, and a lot more musical and rhythmic , with a totally much better feel , and soulful playing..
Wow, excellent job and nice kit. Memphis Drum Shop is the best IMO.
I just discovered Benny recently. He is such a refreshing change from everyone else. So tasty with complete command. I am really inspired by him. I have to admit I am going to be stealing some of his concepts. He is great. Thanks Benny. I love the ostinato on the feet RRLR RRLR etc. Need to practice stick control over top that ostinato to get your hand free. Could take along time but its worth it.
Benny Greb is a damn master! ah i love his style
great drummer, my favorite, but if I never see another drummer play drums with his hands , I could live with that .
incredible
although its hard to tell with someone as awesome as benny greb i could swear he has gotten better in the last couple of years xD
and i think his hair has changed too
this is the coolest thing i've ever seen. bar none
This guy is unbelievable
He's sooooooooo good!!! I Love His Playing!!!
This was taken way before the prototypes were even made. It's a 22" Byzance Extra-Thin Jazz ride!
Freakin' awesome is what this is.
2:25 is amazing. Slowly speeding up his hands and his feet stay constant. Now that is independence. Not that we didn't know Benny has loads of that to begin with.
Fantastic playing.
It all get's really interesting after 4:10... I love his setup (especially the fact that he's using 10" tom).
i wish i had that limb independence he has! he's awesome!
First time I ever saw anyone play a duet w/ themself... himself? Okay... I'll just say... wow!
fluid and natural! amazing feel!!
My teacher showed me Benny's dvd once. He's one of my faves ever since :O
He is so awesome! He inspires me a lot.. :)
I just don't see how 2:26 is possible.. been playing since I was like 14 and that just blew me away.. Well and the rest of the video.. ridiculous groove
Love Benny. I practice. Like with a met, a book, play alongs, bands and everything. However, he still takes poos that are greater than my whole life.
Love that kick sound!
Perfect drumming.
The whole kit sounds great.
I saw Terry do something like this in the early 2000's the B drum pattern didn't waver once
ever, at all & the hands simple to complex and back & forth. This is just craziness at 2:26
I,ve never seen this guy before. it's sobering
Benny Greb has the happiest drums and the saddest glasses
The undisputed King of Awsomenessland!
His feet are like autopilot metronomes. What a musical player!
very unconventional style.....I LOVE IT!
amazing that he's able to keep up that bass drum for so long wow
bear in mind that he's just leaving his 20s, with the current level of creativity he possesses think of what he'll be doing in the next few years.
LOVE the Benny Greb!!!
Love that snare
el mejor solo de benny de los que estan en youtube¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Very nice description on his Cymbals.
Incredible. I notice he added an extra right foot bass hit around 3:18, throwing off foot pattern by two!!! Before to you call me critical, I know it takes nothing away from the performance. It just makes me less depressed about my own drumming. I've tried to pull off that foot pattern and it happens to me every time... usually after 15 seconds, not 3 minutes.
I reiterate though, incredible.
Benny Greb - master of groove!
I find all of his videos really inspiring :)
Meinl 22" Byzance Jazz Extra Thin Ride, it's in the description ;)
Jetlag or tired or whatever, benny keeps the beat and plays the groove out! Awesome!
King Weckl will always be my nr. 1 drummer but Benny sure comes pretty damn close.
King Weckl watched this and headed straight to his Yamaha phoniex with a brown spot on his trousers. Lmao jk Weckl is confusingly great.
Holy crap this guys awesome!
I dare say there's not anyone playing as musically as Greb in the drumming scene currently.
Actually, scratch that- he plays the backbeat with LH, so it's more likely to be a paradiddle variant. He also keeps the bassdrum in unison with the RH for added emphasis.
Brilliantly musical.
words cannot xpress how much.. INSANE !!! =D
@tiekoe everything of his sounds awesome! i love the tom sound!
Read the video description for a complete list of cymbals
the best in the world!!
He is the man!!! :)
This is the best drummer
It's LRRL. Watch his knees and listen for the placement of the notes. It's a double stoke right foot.
absolutely amazing!
i wish that this was recorded from an angle where we could see his footwork. 5:35 is interesting, how he combined it with hi-hat.
You can see his set up from behind his kit in certain videos on youtube..He has the pedals right next to each other, and having a significantly large stature and foot, he can control both pedals simultaneously with one foot.. But that's another story..To have the strength to press down on two pedals while moving every other limb independently is something that takes great stamina and insane precision, both of which Benny has in abundance..
You d think he d lose his power as he takes off the glasses, but no! Awesomeness goes on...
Incredible style and so much imagination involved. wo think I m just learning the push pull and suck at it.... :D
The sand ride is the one between the rack and the floor i believe. In his language of drumming DVD the one on the far right is a meinl jazz ride i think. possibly with a chain
By god that bassdrum sound great!
he's using the samba foot pattern i have learnt to do this it's great i recommend using the first eight rudiments in the stick control book page 1
Rhythmic genius... purely.
FENOMENO!!!
Great sounding snare
@jfaberha nah he keeps that bass drum/hi-hat combo perfect until the end i think you'll find. it's actually quite easy to do, the main challenge is how he's integrating different time signatures throughout the 4/4 bass drum triplet exercise :)
Great musician!
Rock solid timing.
throwing his glasses at 5:45 lol
he is really great! :D
love the way this cat plays
