That floor tom tone deserves a grammy.
And an Emmy.
I have Sonor drums and it is pretty easy to get this kind of depth from the floor toms. Absolute killer sound from Benny as usual!!
His limbs are so independent, I’m surprised one didn’t pack its bags, move out, and live a successful life during this solo. Good Lord this was insane
When you love to drum so much, that you can't hold yourself back and start to make out with your tom in the middle of the solo.
He gives it a blowie
He really fucking likes his floor Tom aye
He actually explained how blowing or sucking air into/out of the porthole makes the drum sound deeper or higher at a gig. I think he played around with that a lot just how he does
Lol the audience didnt know how to react
I wonder if metronomes practice to a Benny every day.
WINNING COMMENT
Keith Lee Agreed
This my be the coolest comment I've seen on youtube.
For Sure!
Thing is, dude isn't even playing to a metronome, he just has God level feeling for time.
Bit that gets me every play through of this is that the drop of the tambourine on his stack is in time with him slapping it. Obviously he knows how it's going to fall, but he has zero control over it, he's just that in sync himself.
This drum solo is the most Benny Greb drum solo.
not really, he used a ton of allusions in this lol
I used to watch Buddy Rich and think "maybe I'm not so good... I need more practice..." In that time passed, Benny has made my life even more difficult. Now there are two drummers I will never be as good as
Mattie Mclean what about Thomas Lang? Tony Royster Jr? George Kollias?
Samuel Habluetzel Have a real look at Mike Mitchell
fleagalisyourdaddy ooooh he’s rlly talented too :)
The tone of that floor tom makes orphans cry at night.
Druman19 Anyone knows size of Tom and drumheads used?
@@MatthiasFrommann 16" sonor floor tom, I'm pretty sure it's a remo emperor on top and on the bottom an ambassador with some cotton touching the bottom head
Druman19 it makes me cry at night as well
its making me cry right now
Mattia I don’t think he dampens it he just uses a coated bottom head tuned less than finger tight
I've watched a lot of drummers lately, and I mean a lot, and I'm starting to believe that Benny is the best there is.
I agree , I love his style . Benny and Dave Weckl , who has got better with age are my Favourites ,oh wait ,Carter Beauford too.👍
Holy Bump! He's on the short list of great technicians/teachers (how can anyone say Thomas Lang is better than Jojo Mayer is better than Stanton Moore is better than etc), but I wouldn't underestimate what serving songs and being on said songs means to being on a "Greatest" list. I couldn't tell you anything about the music Benny plays on. Being in a band that people are aware of matters.
him shaving his head unleashed a new beast
muhamed pampur it's the Brecker mantra, the less he had the more of a beast he was.
Jordan Johnson fair enough
He definitely pulls it off.
The opposite of Samson.
thats his final form. we will see his "ulti" when he shaves the beard.
Drummin' level: Benny Greb. I loved the reference to the brilliant Dennis Chambers with the deaccelerando - accelerando on the snare with the bass keeping up an even tempo.
Yep - it’s a nice tip of the hat!
Bass and Hihat pattern
5:01 to the end , Dennis Chambers ‘ s solo idea. The big intro of Benny is amazing
3:26 Me trying to tune my drum heads
Lmaoooo
😂
Lmfao nice bro
best comment ever my dude hahahah
XD
Die Traurigkeit darüber, dass ich ein solches Niveau niemals erreichen werde, weicht der Freude darüber, dass es solch unglaubliche Musiker wie ihn gibt. Was dann bleibt ist die Inspiration. Danke dafür
Wenn man es zumindest versucht hat, kann man am Ende trotzdem Stolz sein.
4:37 what a catch
Marco Bogataj followed by another stick flip, what a monster
Hes got so much groove even his stick drops are in time.
one of the best videos i ever seen. you can tell benny has some serious hours behind the kit. Drums sound outrageously insane
*People at meinl drum festival* :"Hey Benny....so what would be the genre of today's solo?!"
*Benny* : _Benny greb_
Benny has the best groove, best dynamic, best technique and best musicality - partnered with the best sounding snare, kick, tom tom, floor tom and cymbals :) it's always amazing! It's the first time I see him reaching his own limits - amazing to see this and I admire the courage to play this! well done Benny.
01:55 This duuuude playing ghost notes with his fingers got my mind blown. Never seen that in my life.
no one can bend the feel and time quite like Benny Greb - he has this ability to change the gravitational pull of the time itself so that it isn't that it rushes or drags but time itself speeds and slows down while he remains perfectly in the middle
There are no words to describe this solo...there are no words worthy enough.
The kick drum and floor tom combo here is literally the best drum sound I've ever heard so much punch with just enough boom
Now that's how you play (with) the drums! Thanks Benny for the inspiration - You are incredible!!
I’ve been waiting my whole life for this
Benny needs more mainstream recognition, like I’ve seen so much of this guy but every time I see or hear what he does I’m even more impressed, if I could only be a quarter as good as him I’ll be set for life
It's like this drum solo represents me so much I can't explain in words.
Benny Greb is one of THE guys we've today
Damnnn. How can you not just love his playing! So inspirational. I was fortunate to meet him a couple of years ago, too. Nicest guy on the planet!
Unreal. This guy is a freak in every way the drumming community needs!! So creative.
Met this guy at the Mastersession in Italy one month ago... Probably one of the best human being on this planet, and also one of those musicians who makes your stomach twists while they're playing. Thank you Benny for sharing with us this magic.
there's no way you didn't watch this twice in a row
thrice for me
5 for me
Lauty Bend only the good drummers will watch it multiple times. Studying obsessively
You guys need to see this solo with added music. If you haven't yet -> ruclips.net/video/iVNv9yb27MQ/видео.html
I've lost count
The only 21st century's drummer who's telling me a beautiful and amazing story when soloing ! He's a real musician, not just a drummer.
Thank you Benny Greb.
So Benny Greb have some of the most beautifully tuned drums Ive heard. The way his drums are tuned is what stood out to me the most when I first heard him play. Im typically more of maverick and do my own thing, rather than what other do. His drum tuning is so good, that I just had to tune my drums like him. Every drum set I have had since, Ive tuned as close to his sound as possible.
This gave me such a groovegasm
Remarkable. Speechless, actually! One of the best solos I've EVER seen
utterly enjoyable technique and sense of groove AND... an improbably tuned floor tom. just so good
The man is so creative in his grooves and rhythm! What a friggin' talented player, listen to that single kick pedal and hat groove going on. Benny Greb, you're diamond bro! :D
Even when he drops a stick it’s in time and sounds remarkable!!
Benny you are one of a kind! I love your style
This needs more views. He does so much with this small set up its incredible!
Very refreshing style always trying to find the missing link, feels like a journey to watch him grow as a drummer
I dont know who on earth has such a tasty groove and timing and phrasing in solos. For me, there is no other drummer than Benny doing so.
This guy is one of the most independent, creative and tasty drummers around! Love it!
so many styles all in one solo, pure class this man is
Drumming from the future. Simply incredible.
I could listen to Benny for hours! His playing is eminent!
Always a joy to watch Benny lay it down.
4:54 - 6:01 what...?
I tried to do this after watching the video and it didn’t go as planned let me tell you.
I'd say, it takes some damn balls doing that on stage. I mean, everybody knows kind of what's going on but you'll have to pull it off damn perfectly, especially in front of an audience full of drummers. :D
Dallas Farmer That section is honestly one of the most impressive things I've ever seen a drummer do.
Dallas Farmer iii
Maintaining that kick + hi-hat groove constantly despite doing other stuff on the snare must be one of the hardest things ever. That coordination.
I dont think it's polyrhythmic. I guess he's completely doing going down and up tempos on his hand whilst doing a constant tempo on his feet. So impressive!!!
One of the best sounding floor toms I've ever heard
I don't know how you can watch that and not be impressed. That was awesome.
What a great sounding drumkit! Sonor worldclass as Benny Greb!
Absolutely unreal. I can only aspire to such groove.
4:36 "Ninja mode: ON" oh, i love this dude.
that save. It was awesome
he is not the most precise nor the most technical, but when he plays he returns passion and emotions. I love his way of living the drum
Re delle Mucche You’re kidding right? Do you have any understanding of what he was doing?
Uhhhhhhh...... that was both extremely precise and technical......
4:26 that part is just incredible
Yo I was looking for this comment. I came
@@reiyu4786how do you mean you came?
Sou fã do Benny Greb...
Tomara que um dia venha para o Brasil. 🙏🎶🎉✨
Benny always plays with a sense of groove. Great!
I love the sound of that kit!
Very good drum solo! Absolutely amazing!
Impeccable tuning and sound.
The best solo that watch of Benny Greb!
Meine Fresse war das gut! Technisch herausragend, innovativ, musikalisch.... Mir gehen da die Adjektive aus. Wahrscheinlich hört das der Benny nicht gern (da man ja als Künstler immer im Begriff ist sich zu entwickeln und man nie fertig bzw. am Ziel ist wenn es um das lernen geht), aber so hört es sich für mich an, wenn man ein Meister an seinem Instrument ist. Hut ab!
Hoermen Ciccerallo Gut gesagt! 👍
Vielleicht kenn ich auch einfach nicht die richtigen Drummer, aber ich finde, an Benny Greb kommt einfach nichts ran. Außer Chuck Norris oder Jesus vielleicht. Der Rest der "Weltspitze"... meh. :D
Woow very good and creative solo!!!! Breathtaking
smooth ......... creative... self expression what you love best..... love it....
Say what you want about Benny Greb but he has a style all his own.
Watching any of Benny Greb's solos is always interesting.
2:15 "CAT mode: ON"
Психоделические скетчи I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw this comment and went back to see what cat mode was 8))
I got a good chuckle out it. Thank you. Hahahah
ahahahahaha
Lol !
Great drumsolo. I love it.
amazing! So much depth .
that snare sounds so clean, i just crank the volume and my house is spotless.
This guy always delivers.
very creative solo!
Great music
I knew right away that he preferred that deep Tom Tom. Much love and appreciation to dude and everyone else who made this possible. Peace.
Absolutely captivating. Rank 1
Total Boss!
My Brain hurts at the subdivision with hands while grooving with the feet. He dont need a mostrar kit he is a legend with his stacks and awesome sounding drums
dude cracks me up. seriously so good
Great sounding kit!!!
Amazing send of music
Damn. Just damn. That was beautiful
I wish I could see his right foot during the second half of the solo Amazing speed. Benny is always pushing the envelope with new sounds and ideas. A great musician
Yeah..they messed up not putting a camera on the floor aimed at his feet.
Been a lot of good drummers ive seen... but maaaan this dude is damn insane!
Sensational Mr. Benny!!
Limb independence level: Benny Greb (cause that's the only guy I can compare Benny to)
Hrishabh Singh Chris Dave is someone you should check out then, listen to this
ruclips.net/video/NHyR_tPh_cs/видео.html
If you like time distortion and independence then this kills. not the same style as Benny but equally as unique and amazing. Both of their internal pulses are so ridiculously strong
musical drummer, as ever... bravo!!
Great performance - cool foot and hand technic. Fantastic independance
Amazing solo... only dream of this!
mmm, unreal drummer :) Solo for drummer's soul :)
He really enjoys drumming. And do an amazing show
\m/
my favorite drummer
Musical, witty, and of course, astonishing chops
Love the constant hi hat to remind you there's a metronome. I'm convinced he's the birth child of an expert jazz drummer and a busker.
Excelente, impresionante!
This guy is inventive. Pushing the limits.
The best drum solo ever, Drum beat
5:30 even the master Greb laughs at how absurd and insane this concept is. He is on his own plane of existence.
Much love from a Filipino drummer!!!
3:24 "When bought a new floor tom"
hahahahaha !!! :D
How is everyone not smiling constantly during a Benny Greb solo!
duuudeeee... pure GENIUS!! so inspirational! :D
chris coleman and benny greb, two of my favourite drummers
THIS ....
IS A DRUM SOLO ... PERIOD !!!!!
Обожаю его. Потрясающий драмер!
Magnifical dear Benny ! (from Didier D'Agostino (French teacher at the "Bagshow Paris 2017 ) .friendhips !
Crazy musical drumming!
