The most impressive thing about this performance is the consistency of the left foot hi hat. Through the groove displacement as well as the solo, it never falters. Benny is a beast.
The thing about Benny is that his style and 'feel' are very fluid and dynamic. I don't find him to be the most technical drummer but he has a very musical feel which has gotten even more enjoyable to listen to
Benny just gets it...Not only is he covering a legendary drum track from just about the most highly respected and acclaimed drummer in the history of drums. He's doing in such a respectful, artistic, downright brilliant manner that it just makes you proud to love and value truly great music....
I love that Benny's just as at home playing the most simple fill as he is when tearing it up. It takes musicianship to know when to do one or the other while being just as capable of doing either.
Benny continuing to separate himself from the pack! The drums, cymbals, song and performance are amazing! Always incredible Benny! Thank you - You're a tremendous inspiration to us all!
Man, what a good idea. I often complain to myself (or find excuses within myself) not to write more music because I don't play a pitched instrument proficiently enough. I have a great ear, degree in music, but then I say "hey I need someone else to write a track I can play on." Now, listening to Benny's originals and this cover (I was working at the MD festival when Vinnie performed this live, so it's always been a favorite), I'm just reminded, where there is a will, there is definitely a way.
104 down like from those too jealous, too under-practiced, too angry of their own inability to practice, ad nauseum....How can anyone NOT like this guy! Greb-master you have a new follower!
I literally stood up and clapped twice or trice, then I realized I was at work and everyone was staring at me hahaha... Amazing display of perfection, thanks!!
Only drum workshop that I've ever been to, right after he released Grebfruit. I had never even heard of him and I definitely had my mind blown that night 🤯
Omg we need these recordings in high quality either on Spotify, or anywhere else! I enjoy these more (both recording/mastering quality and musical sense) than the album.
If you want a drier cymbal all You have to do is spray polyurethane on it. It makes it super dry, but be careful when you do it and what cymbal you do it to. It’s a hit or miss with how it sounds and totally depends on the cymbal.
The Music was very new and adventurous. I want to be a jet pilot and fly like Benny does it! I was noticing the cymbal combinations almost right away… and they were also adventurous in my opinion. Benny… you get so much from your toms, given you use a 10” and a 16” only! Your extra snare was used well, really adding spice just in time for that spot of the piece. You served the song very well… and I hope you are doing guest recordings for artists a lot, so they can make use of your ability to do that. Talk later… Chuk
Well done! Vinnie is awesome; I especially like his drumming with Frankie. Here Bennie captures the essence of Vinnie at his best as I perceive him and his craft. Cheers!
That stacker is so nice for a large stack. I love the technical ability of Benny and others that dont use such a large set up. Benny knows how to use just about every part of the drum kit. The innovation and creativity keeps me interested in learning about my kit and the different sounds that can be produced from it.
A good maple 16x16 with triple flanged hoops. Remo emperor coated top and ambassador coated bottom. Spread out like 5 cottonballs you buy for a little money at the drugstore on the bottom head, inside the shell. Mute the top with a moongel or other big gel thing. Tune both heads just over fingertight. Very loose! Rumble and control my friend...
I have been a drummed for over 20 years now and I had gotten so bored with drumming. Benny has inspired me again after all of these years. The last person ti that was Gavin Harrison. I realized that creativity is way better than chips, but chops and creativity AND pocket are so beautiful. I want to play again. I am inspired by this dude. He's sooooooo good man. His playing is SO tasteful and incredible and just excellent. He is the embodiment of what a drummer should be in my opinion. He is probably my all time favorite now.
what a nice surprise to find this, I couldn't get enough of this tack as a young drummer, well done benny for taking that bad boy on, it sounds amazing and Vinnie would be proud I reckon! awesome
I have the 14" sand hats and the 22" crash ride with rivets. They are some of the most beautiful cymbals I've ever played. Highly recommend. Benny is a boss.
U must be referring to his brain?!no it’s there he’s just learned to split it into four different sections one for each limb,However I’m pretty sure Benny is from another galaxy etc a drum galaxy that’s not too awfully far from here,
Benny Greb should be a genre now
Tyok Hari lmfaooo
Ha I love that and very true!!
Steven James Burks was gonna reply the same! Thank you!
same as Dirty Loops should be a genre too
a person:what music do you make?
me:I make greban music.
The most impressive thing about this performance is the consistency of the left foot hi hat. Through the groove displacement as well as the solo, it never falters. Benny is a beast.
Right on! It's one thing to keep the non-displaced beat in mind, another to commit the left foot to it so stubbornly. Very inspirational.
Mind boggling
💯
Can we get some love for the mixing/engineering? Sounds amazing, and the those toms sound especially thiccccc
Makes you realize how much more there is to learn.
Absolutely! an inspiration to us all.
The thing about Benny is that his style and 'feel' are very fluid and dynamic. I don't find him to be the most technical drummer but he has a very musical feel which has gotten even more enjoyable to listen to
Caleb lul
Absolutely endless.. and I am sure Benny would agree.
This is great. Benny and Vinnie - my favourite drummers by far!
Benny just gets it...Not only is he covering a legendary drum track from just about the most highly respected and acclaimed drummer in the history of drums. He's doing in such a respectful, artistic, downright brilliant manner that it just makes you proud to love and value truly great music....

His snare always sounds soooooooo good
I love that Benny's just as at home playing the most simple fill as he is when tearing it up. It takes musicianship to know when to do one or the other while being just as capable of doing either.
some of the best sounding drums I've ever heard and his performance is excellent.
Benny continuing to separate himself from the pack! The drums, cymbals, song and performance are amazing! Always incredible Benny! Thank you - You're a tremendous inspiration to us all!
One of the greatest drummers of all time. Simply amazing not only at technique, but also making music.
Those voices and this arrangement make this song so much more memorable and special, I really love it!
That china/crash cymbal stack sounds amazing, I can't get over just how good it is.
I can't believe! It's awesome! I love Vinnie Colaiuta and I loved to see Benny playing one of my favorites songs!
Wilmerson da Silva Blasphemy! 😁
Those drums sound fantastically juicy
Best drum sound I’ve heard in a long time. If ever.👍
Awesome as usual! What a force of nature. He is so smooth and glides across the drums like a figure skater.
I think this is one of the moments when you really impress the master. It´s awesome to "have" such great drummers on this planet!
okay but that vocal guitar solo was actually so bonkers
Man, what a good idea. I often complain to myself (or find excuses within myself) not to write more music because I don't play a pitched instrument proficiently enough.

Steward Copeland is one of the most in-demand soundtracks composer...
I felt the same way about photography, “I have nothing interesting to photograph.” Then I went to a Vic Muniz exhibit. Shamed. 😭
Great Feel, Great snare tone. Cymbal selection was perfect. and creative.
Groove. Flow. Rhythm. Dynamics. Creativity. From each the best. Dankeschön Benny
hardest song ever for a drummer. and he did it like obviously stunnin. i really am amazed

Amazing. Chapeau. Greetings from germany Christoph 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Is this the best sounding kit in existence?
Yes.
A lot of it has to do with the mics, room, and production but yes these drums sound really good as well.
@@will97-88 yeah but it is a Sonor Vintage series
Only drum workshop that I've ever been to, right after he released Grebfruit. I had never even heard of him and I definitely had my mind blown that night 🤯
Every hit has a pulse.
You have always been inspired.
So clear. Excellent perfomance !!! Thank you for sharing !!!
Omg we need these recordings in high quality either on Spotify, or anywhere else! I enjoy these more (both recording/mastering quality and musical sense) than the album.
"I need the dryest cymbal out there, but I want it to be dryer"
Next frontier will be to powder coat cymbals to make an even dryer sound
BackInBlack_4896 doesn’t paiste sort of do that with their ColorSound lineup?
@@alexleedrums311 Hardest soft pun ever
AlexLeeDrums that thing hás a indeed a Very bright sound hahah
If you want a drier cymbal all
You have to do is spray polyurethane on it. It makes it super dry, but be careful when you do it and what cymbal you do it to. It’s a hit or miss with how it sounds and totally depends on the cymbal.
This is BY FAR my favourite on the album and I've been so excited to see a play through

Drumless version of this is definitely needed in my life. This was amazing.
Aside from the playing, I totally admire the cover of the album and its name. Bizzare! Bravo Benny!
I feel like Benny has been missing in action for the last 3 years. The world needs more Benny!
Benny Grebb has to be one of my fave drummers of all effin time. The creativity on this guy is insane
Wow - I mean the playing is off the scale fantastic. Gotta say too - the drums sound *amazing*! Monstrous bass drum!
Best human drumming, i heard for a long time.........
Maybe the greatest cover I've ever seen. Absolute sincere bravo!!
Well done! Vinnie is awesome; I especially like his drumming with Frankie. Here Bennie captures the essence of Vinnie at his best as I perceive him and his craft. Cheers!

I’m glad Benny leaves enough groove for The rest of us.
When he feels like it.
He is the one always blows my mind. I never get tired of listening to his sounds
I could watch this a million times and not get bored
A new video from Benny is always a fast click. And again, he had me with this awesome intro fill.
And those displacements!! :D Jesus!
Benny Greb has some of the coolest rhythm i have ever seen its super cool.
excellent tribute to the master. groove ten miles wide!
One of the goats of drumming for sure. Amazing sense of groove blends with crazy chops.
Benny is soo good, one of my favourite drummers, but you have to appreciate sound quality so 'sound' guys - nice job as well!
I want that floor-tom sound for Christmas
A good maple 16x16 with triple flanged hoops. Remo emperor coated top and ambassador coated bottom. Spread out like 5 cottonballs you buy for a little money at the drugstore on the bottom head, inside the shell. Mute the top with a moongel or other big gel thing. Tune both heads just over fingertight. Very loose! Rumble and control my friend...
Wow...this was great to wake up to! My current fav of Mr. Greb!
We use many of these cymbals on our channel too!! Loving them too!!
The sound is amazing!!!
Big spirit!!This is totally awsome!! Benny, you bring great joy and inspiration to making music!!
Thanks for sharing...
Amazing absolutely.

Excelente Benny como siempre
It must be really fun to be that good:(
Get your 10,000 hours in and you'll be having fun too!
Not if it weren´t mostly fun getting there too.
@@grewesound1723 the satisfaction of years and years of hard work all coming together and paying off must be the best feeling in the world.
This is a cover. The original is Vinnie Colaiuta’s. Benny sure does a great job of it too.
Says so in the description mate
What a wonderful and awesome tribute!!!!
Holy Shit! INCREDIBLE, what groove, fantastic benny seriously FANTASTIC!!!!!!
gotta love this guy!! His set up looks soooooo comfortable...
What a beautiful song! Fantastic job! Thx Benny!

Benny, you are amazing!!! Drumming that impossible song BUT ALSO doing the whole thing in vocals! You are the greatest!
Spectacular musicianship. Love the drum kit and the cymbals.

Benny, superb ! You must make Vinnie very proud !!!!
0:08 the intro fill.. and the groove after... so majestic that he can think that kind of groove for this settings.
Benny is a master musician! I have met him once, and he is a nice person too.
Totally AMAZING!!!!! maybe the very best trap kit player ever!! I love it.
Benny's floor tom always sounds so deep and sluggish, i love it.
the mix is just insanely good, besides the well tuned drums and drummer. thank you Benny
What an unbelievably talented man.
Why does Benny lose all of his change?
Because his POCKET is so deep!
Benny: you inspire me.. thank you sir!
LYRICS:
DO DA DO DA DOO DAA DOO
DII DAA DOO DAA DOO DII
You are really an amazing Artist.
From 1:57 to 2:00 you can clearly see his entire body waving and beating on time, starting from his head down to his hands and foots.
Fucking amazing
Das ist sowas von cool!
Benny Greb = Goosebumps. Everytime. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big pleasure to watch this video... Absolutely PERFECT. Keep going benny!
put some respeck on benny's name.
kodiak wild thx~^^
I love u man. Loved every second of this song. God bless u & keep getting better and better. Cheers
I have the 14" sand hats and the 22" crash ride with rivets. They are some of the most beautiful cymbals I've ever played. Highly recommend. Benny is a boss.
maaaan that displacement
U must be referring to his brain?!no it’s there he’s just learned to split it into four different sections one for each limb,However I’m pretty sure Benny is from another galaxy etc a drum galaxy that’s not too awfully far from here,
johny ubankta displacing the beat. Does it multiple times in this tune but so fluidly I can’t tell which subdivisions he goes to.
How can this world possibly contain 112 people who don’t like this??? So damn good...
one of my favorites, genius!
Love that snare sound!
Marc Dzierzon Session Drummer OMG YESSS!!!😍😍😍
Oh damn digging that compact set up.
Great drummer and he seems to be a very humble guy in spite of all that immense talent.
Beautiful. Bravo!
Great music. I love it.
nice!!!! love the artist and the company
Simply amazing
