      Hey Benny Greb, what main ride cymbal and crash cymbal did you use for this concert?

    • @LeXaveChannel
      @LeXaveChannel 6 лет назад

      What Buddy Rich always supported the most were indivudual Players who kept true to their own styles (he was a strong supporter of Steve Gadd), and thats what you did on this! Hell yeah man, lovin' it!

      I have been listening you for 10 years here.
      I do not rank drummers as best or worst; I just enjoy your work over any other.
      I still listen to Chris Coleman and Simon Phillips, to Aaron Spears and Dennis Chambers.
      But prefer to listen to you.
      Keep doing what you do and feel free to grow.
      Make lots of money and live long, Benny.

    When I saw and heard BENNY GREB play for the first time. It really blew my mind. I hadn’t seen anything like that ever before in my life and I didn’t understand anything he was doing. But I understood that I really really like this. ❤️ lol
    Anyways, Buddy and Benny are both sooo incredible. Thanks for the inspiration man!

  • @bryeap
    @bryeap 6 лет назад +28

    i love how benny still kept with his signature drum sounds rather than some crazy high tunings...

    • @hawkrider88
      @hawkrider88 5 лет назад

      However, some higher tunings and higher pitched cymbals, particularly the ride, may have cut through a bit better. No argument 'cuz I loved this....just an observation.

    • @benorourke_
      @benorourke_ 4 года назад +3

      @@hawkrider88 Maybe a little higher, but I think that with considerably higher tuning in a big band setting, the articulation gets lost. Normally small ensemble jazz is higher tuning, and big band is a little lower.

  • @06livefast
    @06livefast 6 лет назад +2

    I don’t think I’ve ever heard a drummer with a better feel and approach than this. He plays perfect without sounding robotic, in the pocket while shining and playing complex sticking, and constantly changes the approach to the same groove as if the previous beat was just a lapse in time until the next one came to mind. A+ playing

  • @B.Davis1
    @B.Davis1 2 года назад +1

    From 1:47 to 2:18 he put on CLINIC!!!!!!! From everything to when he switched up the groove, kept the snare hits constant with the trumpets, took out the kick in certain, etc. Just pure genius! Sure the musicians in this band love playing with you lol.

  • @waffleadvocate
    @waffleadvocate 5 лет назад +1

    The three hits at 0:47 have got to be the smoothest yet sickest hits I've ever heard in a song. The slight delay in the third hit is just perfection!

    I’m flabbergasted .........I saw Buddy Rich live in 1983 ... even met him ..autograph ...shook his hand ....I wanted to burn my sticks ...It hurts me now that I never embraced jazz like I should of . I was playing the club Circuit. Big clubs small clubs holiday Inns....you know....but seeing this .....God I think I’m hooked !!! You are phenomenal my friend ...Thank You !!

  • @Mrhadatte
    @Mrhadatte 3 года назад +1

    The Mercy mercy album changed my life back in junior high in the late 90's. The guy was a genuine master, and Neil's burning for buddy project was such a beautiful celebration of man's career that will forever impact the way we play drums, much like this performance. Thanks for honoring him on stage, I'm have no doubt he would have only yelled at you a little about coping all Gregg Bissonette's best licks haha

  • @maxbressan

  • @Jakodrums

    This is amazing to see: two different player styles merged into one. Two different techniques, mindsets, eras and music. To play in such a big band concert, filling Buddy's shoes must be one a huge honor. Great job Benny.

  • @frettamohetta7326
    @frettamohetta7326 6 лет назад

    No one feels the music and expresses his emotions and feel through the kit like Benny. Such a world class musician. I can watch him play for days. His creativity, originality, technique, dynamics, chops, groove and stick control is unmatched.

    Great band! And to be the drummer on a Buddy tribute concert? No pressure, right. The drummer did a great job - long sticks and everything. And his bass drum work? Buddy's signature style of putting bass drum hits in between hits of the band. Wow. Buddy was a master of the bass drum and THE WHOLE EFFING DRUM SET.

  • @crazy8sdrums
    @crazy8sdrums 6 лет назад +13

    Excellent as always, and I think Buddy would have loved it too...though he may have mocked you for playing matched grip. :)

    • @gustafsone
      @gustafsone 5 лет назад +8

      It's too bad that Buddy was such an arse all of the time to other people. He's one of the best players of all time (if not *the* best) and yet, he could never seem to compliment anyone without pointing out some major flaw as well. His whole campaign against matched grip was probably the most short-sighted opinion that he had. I'm not a betting man, but if I were I would be willing to put down a decent amount of money that if Buddy *listened* to somebody like Benny play, he would have nothing but praise. However, if it was a video or live performance, he would never get over the matched grip thing to the point he would probably even claim that Benny is a bad drummer.
      I, for one, will always love Benny's playing. There's nothing better to start my mornings than a nice cup of coffee and a slice of grebfruit.

    Es ist immer schwierig, einem Schlagzeiger wie Buddy Rich auch nur ansatzweise gerecht zu werden, ich finde aber das ist dir mehr als gelungen. Allein die ersten 8 Sekunden machen einfach nur Bock auf den Rest.
    Vielen Dank für diese tolle Performance, von dir wird noch viel Großes kommen:)!
