Benny's floor tom so deep, you can find oil down there
:-)
But i mean what about his snare sounding like a legit tom✊🏼
I always try to copy it. Key word TRY lol 😂
Delete this! The Americans will find it
Ha ha ha ha ha! So funny like comedy man for the joke make clever. i get joke and laugh so loud
Beautiful..
you look familar, can't remember where from...
@@benjams9108 hm same
The stank face at 9:52. Glad to see Zack here.
god damn it i was just watching your latest fiverr video... didn't expect you here;))
Hi zacky
Benny’s floor tom is the most beautiful sounding thud ever
The "thud" comes from doubling the tom with the bass drum (I think).
@@Tormalchio doesn't look like it, at least not all the time. if he is, he's barely tapping the bass.
@@Tormalchio it comes from how he tunes it and the fact that he puts cotton balls in it.
It cured my constipation 💩
This is how 2 of the best drummers in the world communicate without talking
? Jojo is not one of the best drummers in the world.
@@dikbeats2720 Why?
@@JoelAzia I find him annoying and very overrated. Benny however is not.
However this jam was a bore to watch.
@@dikbeats2720 then bye
@@dikbeats2720 Sorry, but I think you don’t understand music.
It took these guys ten minutes to get where everyone else would start. It's a great example of how not to "blow your load" in the first thirty seconds of a solo.
HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED!!! The sound in that room is INCREDIBLE!!! Most certainly enjoyed this one!! Thanks guys!!
Truth
I took your advice. Not disappointed.
two drummers actually jamming! instead of just trading. so rare, maybe the first iv seen. They are making music and not just have a big solo over the top each other.and the result? two voices, one mind. Beautiful.
well spoken my friend.
Listen to the one by Ari hoenig and Dan weiss
very rare, not like you comment lol 🤭
in-f#ck1ng-deed
Really? Made me fall asleep.
There were parts of this that felt like they could be used in a movie score. No other instruments would be necessary either.
reminded me of a suped up version of the wrench and numbers theme from the fargo soundtrack
@@La_sagne Totally!
So Birdman with Antonio Sánchez
@@angelssanchezluna2179 That’s it! I was trying to remember which movie I watched recently that had drums as the only instrument as the soundtrack.
I was thinking the same thing
This is what happens when two talents don't feel the need to show off and push as many notes as posible into the room... just great airy groove with nuace and taste
So much respect between the two, drummer's are the finest musician, they always plays for the song, even when there are no song.......
When two gods communicate.
We must also salute the sound system which is extremely good quality
Jojo
Normally when i've seen two drummers play at the same time it sounds like the drums have been pushed down a set of stairs. It's a mess of noise and clashing parts. This was so tasteful and musical. Great stuff!
I just loved how comfortable these guys are in their skins. They have nothing to prove, no-one to impress and as a result they were just free to create and flow in the moment. Thanks for a sublime 14 minutes guys.
Who says playing the drums is just making noise? These two masters make the drums sing.
Two of the best technicians and interpreters of rhythm and music there is.
Not competing, playing... Making music. awesome!
Jojo holding down those brushes in the beginning was awesome.
Wish I could flam my feet like Benny lol
the sound of jojo kit is like a Chianti wine, perfectly blended warm but punchy and makes you tipsy
You should find a job describing things, that was perfect!
Ugh ...
His drumming would perhaps go well together with liver and fava beans then. 🤫🐑🐑
Sangiovese grosso can be tannic and bitter. No bitterness in this solo...
This is what drumming is all about... Grooving, having fun and communicating!
Experts in taste, restraint, musicality and placement of beats.
Man, that was great. Not a competition - two musicians playing off each other and with each other. Serious.
In an age where “Drum Solos” are abundant, this performance leaps out! It took me on a journey, showing beautiful dynamic and rhythmic landscapes. I can honestly say, that was as close to perfection as it can get. Inspiring beyond belief. Thank you soo much for share Benny.
Maybe because it's a duet and not a solo?
Yeeeees! @@ajdrums8075. Thank you soo much for that valuable insight. The fact it's a "duet" is and not a "solo" is why it was soo good. Not the masterful playing and musicality of these 2 particular players. I'm sure I would have appreciated it just as much had it been any other drummers performing, so long, of course, it was a "duet" and not a solo. Please disregard my former comment as from your superior observation was purely based on the idea of a solo improvision and clearly does not apply in this circumstance.
@@TroyGrech_In2Drums Hahaha triggered! I found it funny you put quotation and capslock on "Drum Solos" when it is a duet that's all. Feel free to send a link to a solo from either of these master drummers that sound better than this duet? I don't know of any. Why? Because you can't layer the sounds and ideas like this duet as a soloist even if you have Donati like independence and interdependence.
LOL! @@ajdrums8075 triggered!? Each to their own. Like everyone else, you are entitled to your opinion on anything, and that is totally fine. But honestly, your above comment on my use of grammar to describe the feeling of inspiration this video sparked in me as a player to progress on my own musical journey actually says more about you than anyone else here. It seems sad that people on the internet are compelled to bring others down in an effort to bolster their own personal insecurities. If arguing an insignificant point about a comment on a video really makes you feel better about yourself. Then I conceded. You are right. Have a great day.
@@TroyGrech_In2Drums Have a great day too man and good luck with your journey. One tip, choose one or two exercises and exhaust them don't have several things going at once that you don't master and completely own otherwise it won't get used in a live situation. Peace
I cant comprehend how much I love Jojo Mayer. I only wish he came back to his style with Takuya Nakamura.
one of the greatest drum duets ever . No overplaying. No competition just pure playing beautifully together . Two of the greatest drummers playing together this is just amazing.
I love the drumsound of Benny Mayer but Jojo Grebs is also very nice! Its so cool how their signiture sounds and grooves combine
Someone take the bait, take it!
@@dng4679 lol
@@dng4679 you didnt get it bigbrain
Dude...!.... Its mayor grebs n benny jojo... Get it right
I was there. I was absolutely amazing!
The TWO CREATIVES!
I met Steve Smith a while back and he said let the music guide you. Exemplified here so very beautifully. I keep coming back to this video :)
No ego. Simply two percussive geniuses creating rhythm.
A vibrant conversation with absolutely zero back and forth mimicking.
Benny‘s floor tom…awesome!
The vibe is epic..... neither trying to out-do the other. Just murder it, simultaneously.
Illegal Tom Bass sounding on Benny Greb's side.
Perfect jam, you couldn't expect less with these drum gods.
When it comes to drumming, there's nothing more precise and beautiful than Jojo's hands in action.
An amazing conversation between two great musical minds!
Two of the best drummers Europe came up with the last 15-20 years. Beside Marco Minnemann and Thomas Lang. Very inspirational.
Wtf.. drum solo that is engaging and not boring at all? Whoa there!
Greb has got to have the most amazing ability to tune floor toms I have ever heard. He gets the exact same note out of seemingly any floor tom he touches.
When two of the greatest virtuosos of pocket and groove come together, the inner peace you feel trancends comprehension
actually felt like they're talking. beautiful.
The.... Freakin.... Business!!!!!!!! That room the intimate vibe, the SOUND!!!! 🤯🤯 and then the artists.. Wow to the max!! Wish I was there..
That was absolutely incredible. Both Grebb and Mayer played with so much groove and creativity not covering each other up once but accenting each other.
best bit of drumming i’ve heard in a long time
무언가 소리를 만들어가는 과정! 살아있는 소리! 심장이 뛰는
사람 둘이서 만들어가는 소리!
울림! 리듬! 그리고 ...
숨소리와 맥박... 또 진정한 드럼악기로 표현하는 언어!!!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
💯🔥🔥🔥🔥✌️
I could listen to a whole album’s worth of this. Their pockets are so unbelievably deep and tasteful.
that was absolutely delicious drumming.
The phrase starting at 11:44 is my favorite, ending in the bell if the ride. Love that so much.
its really just jojo's style, he's this groovy everywhere
This the simply the best example of double drumming that has ever been. When Jojo played the ghosts to flam Benny’s Tom hits, well that’s a level of simpatico hive mind that I’m not sure I’ve ever seen. So locked. So much music in this.
Oh man, this is what my soul needed...
Did I just watch a 13 minute ad for Sonor drums?! They sound incredible.... and not many drum brands would hold up their end of the deal for this level of masterful playing
All the major brands would do just fine.
@@farshimelt while I’ve seen Benny make a toy SpongeBob kit sound passable before, Sonor really is a cut above the rest. Germans don’t fuck around, and they’re one of the very oldest drum companies in existence. Lots of time to perfect their quality and sound. Chris Heuer (incredible drum builder/ guru who fixes and spruces up kits so they sound their absolute best) has gone on record as saying Sonor is the only brand that he has never found a bearing edge issue with straight from the factory.
Not showing up to show up, but to work in concert creating beauty.
Only 2.5 minutes in, and I feel euphoria... this is beautiful. I love seeing people really "feel" their instrument.
This is how two drummers are supposed to play together
I wanna live forever in that room
As much as I love watching two drummers trade eights shedding their soul out, I think I love this a bit more
Two phenomenal musicians, so in sync. Creative and technical. So inspiring! Saw you at a drum workshop in NZ back in 2008 or so. Still watching, admiring and learning. Jojo is a new introduction to me but also incredible.
Ein grossartiges Gespräch zwischen zwei Trommlern. Kein Sport sondern ein Gesang. So liebe ich „Solos". Kommunikation pur mit Ohren für den Anderen.
I'm glad to see this because a few years ago at NAMM it looked like Jojo wasn't a big fan of Benny.
What exactly did you notice?
This is so good its as if they were talking but in a whole different language that we can understand but not through the words of the mouth.
From micro to macro finesse. Two incredible talents.
How does this not have tons and tons of views??? It's an absolutely captivating performance 🤯
So. Many. Colours!
Very nicely done- good feel, no over the top “ I can play faster and louder than you” they complemented each other and developed that wonderful blending of two kits, two minds. Just great....
Guys, there was the collaboration of the century for me!! So grateful for that!😍
I was just imagining how insane being in that room would be. huge inspiration
I have been waiting my entire life for this video. Thank you.
Very captivating... I went into a trance listening to it on my headphones...
Thank you Benny finally for this video. Such a great dialogue.
Gorgeous moment. So much interplay and spirit behind those grooves and textures. I had a blast witnessing this. Thank you Benny & Jojo!
Both gentlemen with finesse on the drums. Each has a time to speak. 💙
Two masters making magic, just thankful this was captured on video and shared. Thank you!
What a beautiful improv. So inspirational and vibrant. Thank you for sharing this moment with us.
2 drumming legends!! Thank you for sharing this!
Two of the best! Love the space, the dynamics, the textures. Just sublime!
when stars align
The mix sounds amazing. One of the best I’ve heard in a while
Thank you, Benny and JoJo for sharing that exciting improv performance!!! So inspiring and energizing to witness!! I could not stop smiling the whole time:) Cheers!!
Amazing!
Legends, great layering and dynamics. Thank you for uploading this.
Brilliant ! 👍
This was soooo incredible cool to be in the audience and see and hear this great two drummers work. thank you, Benny and Jojo, for this wonderful experience.
Sounds I’ve just never heard before on the drum set. Amazing. It continues to be interesting and compelling the whole time. They’re able to hold so much tension with so much control. It just really gets me going and I can’t quite explain or understand why.
So great!!
Master class in dynamics, groove and improvisation - amazing performance from amazing drummers!
Full of emotions and grooves ! Thank's you
Beautiful and true. Thanks for this epic solo Benny and Jojo.
Communication on a high musical level! Great! I had so much joy!
Just loved it! Especially the way it starts ✨
These two.... so well done and such restraint truthfully.
Awesome!
The Jojo face at 7:03 say it all, pure emotion!! So cool the orchrestation space Benny chooses...
You both have added so much to my understanding of drumming & music in general, as well as changed my perception so many times in best ways possible, e.g. to hear faster, but also notice so much more, feel the phrase, etc. Thank you so much for what you both do! So much inspiration & influence over the years! Also, this video has made me so calm, very needed nowadays.. All the best & greetings from Poland :)
Benny's use of subdivisions are so simple but so original. You would know it was him even if you had your eyes closed.
