simon is not only soloing hes playing along with some killer jazz musicians and keeping in time with them as much as they're playing along with him. a solo is one thing but what simon is doing goes beyond its pretty amazing.
Is it just me or are Sonor Drums the best sounding drums ever made? Everytime I listen to a set of Sonor's I'm blown away by the sound. Lots of amazing sounding drum sets out there but Sonor's to me are amazing.
1. Yes they are the best sounding ever made 2. Don’t confuse a professionals touch and tuning and another professionals sound engineering for how a drum will actually sound when you purchase it
We are blessed to live in a time with all 3 of these guys. Don't waste your time trying to find out who is better. I wish I knew what they have forgotten about drumming.
OK....Thomas Pridgen is officially one of my favorite drummers......I mean ALL-TIME. That guy was awesome, and has incredible speed very unique technique. OK, Benny Greb is the most unique drummer I have ever seen. Awesome stuff from that guy for sure.
What’s funny is that the Benny Greb clip cuts just before it’s about to really pick up. I’ve watched that full video a hundred times and the second half is absolutely mind blowing
I'll preface my comment by saying that I wish I could play like any of the three of them, but for raw, chaotic excitement, my vote contrasts with the majority and goes to Thomas Pridgen. Simon Phillips stands out for his amazing accuracy and catching all the accents, but Thomas, for me, just kills it! Articulate chaos, I might call it.
Haha! People are arguing here who was the best. It wasn't the point. All of these are great drummers, and they put original effort in their own solo. I enjoyed. So different, still so good.
I love all three of these drummers. Simon Phillips the master of dynamics. No one makes a groove feel so right like Benny Greb. Thomas Pridgen takes some pretty basic chops and blows your mind with them.
Benny ist einfach der größte! Wie er wirklich jede klang Fasete aus seinem Schlagzeug raus holt ist grandios. Und seine Dynamik ist von einem anderen Stern, einfach grandios!
Bennie really following in Vinnie's footsteps with the musicality. So entertaining to watch and most of all to listen too. Such a beautiful musical approach.
All of these drummers are proficient and at the top of their game. This is a solo and one may be more creative than the other at the time. They all have incredible chops, especially Thomas, but each brings a different style and unique form of playing and creativity. Obviously Simon is the master at open handed playing, and Thomas brings speed and precision. But Benny is a monster at creating some spectacular sounds and grooves with both hands and sticks. Thanks for the post...
Why are they showing a very old Simon Phillips solo,not one of his best solos for sure. There’s dozens of SP solos on here that blow both guys out the water although Benny is brilliant Simon at his best is mind boggling!!!
Simmon...the best!!....a modernidade está acabando com o brilho do som dos tambores....só se vê velocidade de notas em sextinas em disputa de quem é mais rápido e trapezista. Circo é uma coisa, música é outra. Música toca a alma e mexe com sentimentos. Simmon é da épica da melhor música do planeta. Anos 70 e 80...tiro o meu chapéu para vc S Philips...God Bless
Are these guys even human? I can't believe what they pull off. Love Simon Phillips. I really dig the musicality of B.G. Kind of reminds me of Al Foster. Would have been perfect to go from hands to brushes to sticks.
Ronald Ent why you talking crap about thomas pridgen? You is a absolute legend. Are you jealous because you never really acomplished something in music?
I am not a huge fan of drum solos but when they are played like this you just have to admire the technique. Thomas Pridgen has some tasty chops. Some drummers even those with a huge level of talent can sometimes dial in a drum solo live but none of that here.
Benny Greb's solo is probably one of the tastiest things I've ever heard in my life.
Indeed amazing. And what a difference in approach to the other guys which off course great too..
very very true!!!
Que bosta.
As usual
A modern day Papa Joe.
I keep being impressed by Simon's way of playing like it looks like 100% impossible AND a piece of cake at the same time.
Benny Greb absolutely crushed that, he told a story
All masters in their styles!!!
Thomas Pridgen deserves a lot of respect. Thank you for being yourself Thomas and motivating me to be much better.
definitely something to appreciate in all of these men’s solo’s.
simon is not only soloing hes playing along with some killer jazz musicians and keeping in time with them as much as they're playing along with him. a solo is one thing but what simon is doing goes beyond its pretty amazing.

With Thomas, you always know what you're going to hear.
Nonsense?
CHOPS
Thomas Pridgen is the exact reason why I want to play big cymbals with a 6pc Drum Kit Configuration. Gotta love this man! He's a damn beast! :)
OK....Thomas Pridgen is officially one of my favorite drummers......I mean ALL-TIME. That guy was awesome, and has incredible speed very unique technique.
OK, Benny Greb is the most unique drummer I have ever seen. Awesome stuff from that guy for sure.
Simon all the way. Playing with a band even.
Respecting his band, on time, musicality,.. Total beast!
What’s funny is that the Benny Greb clip cuts just before it’s about to really pick up. I’ve watched that full video a hundred times and the second half is absolutely mind blowing
Pridgen is giving the reason why non-drummers roll their eyes about Drum Solos. And i understand it.

The Simon Phillips kit.... Its an orchestra by itself.
great compilation, thanks for sharing!
Simon Phillips is so musical and adaptable. Chops off the charts.
Pridgen is absolutely phenomenal here!
Such clarity, excellent development of motif....
Lmfao!!!
Awesome solos, and great sound recording !🥁
Benny Greb. Beautiful sounds/drums cymbals and mind. What a great moment!

Simmons has great rhythm. He is one of my favorites.
Bennie really following in Vinnie's footsteps with the musicality. So entertaining to watch and most of all to listen too. Such a beautiful musical approach.
Always loved Simon, always will but in this shoot-out it's Benny for me! What a tastefull display of skill and musicality.. Totally love it!
Pridgen's playing reminds me of"Animal" from Sesame Street Wild as hell!!!!!!
You ain't even lyin' bro!LOL!
Agreed 😅
Benny greb is seriously the most creative tasteful drummer planet Earth
Much respect for all three as they all masters. Benny get my vote for most impressive. Wow!
All these guys are great. They all have different approaches to expressing themselves.
Mr Simon Phillips. Spectacular
FINELY FOUND SOME GROOVE . FANTASTIC!!!
Simon, hands down in this one. He’s a much better technical drummer than the competition. It really wasn’t even competition in my humble opinion.
Simonds so good outrageous drumming
All amazing...but the last guy got me...I like that different style of him.
The last drummer is just insane..lots of creativity, technique Wowwwwwww......!!!
Phillips, for me the greatest ever. Especially his solo work with protocol Live you get an evening of fantastic drumming

Benny oozes artistry...love it!
Greb has an African sound , and he's sounding really good .

Those three drummers are just fantastic......
Used to have a Benny Greb signature sonor snare...Wish I still have it.
Simon Is Magic+Tama STAR!!! Nr1!!! he play music.
wow! Simon Phillips was amazing
Honesty is best, right!! Well I used to think bad names watching Prig. I was jealous. Now learning. 😎
Benny Greb - BY FAR - the best solo. Musical, creative, melodic, unique. Not even close!
LOVE IT ! ! !
Thomas Pridgen is a fucking beast. THAT'S how you do a solo....
After 50 years of playing, I’m officially over solos of any kind.
@ Saw Weckl way back in the day.Still impresses me. But I'm still over solos. Maybe Vinnie.
KING of DRUMMERS!
Benny Greb plays in the style of a Salsa Timbalero with some conga riffs with his hands on the drums. Baaaaad man.
Benny Greb, this is unbelievable good
Man...those Sonor's sound so sweet!
О..yesss!!)
Brilliance
I bet if Thomas put a Turtle Neck Sweater on it would revolutionize his solos.
Benny Greg for the win.
Agreed guy is so tasteful and innovative and groovy with his approach. Bet he is one hell of a hand drum player lol
>Benny Greg
drumjosh1987 i was about to comment that, but you already got it, love he's grooves
Are these guys even human? I can't believe what they pull off. Love Simon Phillips. I really dig the musicality of B.G. Kind of reminds me of Al Foster. Would have been perfect to go from hands to brushes to sticks.
It's not what they pull off I can't beieve, it's how they manage to make pulling themselves off sound so impressive.
It's all in the silver shoes!!
en mi banda queda contratado...que animal thomas toca la bata como yo corto el pasto...geniooo
I love Simons open-handed playing style.
Simon is an absolute monster and Benny is just the tastiest drummer alive. Im an absolute Phillips fan but Greb wins this one
Thomas' solo would be a good time to get a beer or use the restroom!!!
Simon is a Machine
Benny all the way. Best musicality and conceptual brilliant.
Benny reminds me of Peter Erskine in that both have a mind-boggling mastery of the modern drum kit.
Great play
Benny all day...any day...every day. Hands down.
Benny Greb is my spirit animal. Stud...
Listening to Thomas pride ninja 2022 and it fits
thats why i love jeff porcaro, never did 1 solo live and is the best drummer ever, the grove master Mr Jeff
Pegaaaa 👍🎶
Thomas' solo just sounds like the end of a big rock song to close out the show.
With Thomas Pridgen...you always know what your gonna get.
Damn Simon's getting wiser.
Whooo all that grey hair..
I liked Pridgen a whole lot - he played hard and w/ technique, too many drummers get cute when we want to hear DRUMMING!!!
Awesome!!! What else can ya say...
Simon Phillips and Benny Greb: True Masters
And the True Master wears a shirt. :-)
Ronald Ent why you talking crap about thomas pridgen? You is a absolute legend. Are you jealous because you never really acomplished something in music?
thank you
I am not a huge fan of drum solos but when they are played like this you just have to admire the technique. Thomas Pridgen has some tasty chops. Some drummers even those with a huge level of talent can sometimes dial in a drum solo live but none of that here.
Can you perform that jam @ my next Wedding ? ? ?
To any drummers out there, have you ever played the arm parts with your feet and arms as your bass drum and high hat?
Benny!
Have you heard the word 'cacophony?' That describes Pridgen's solo to a T.. The man needs to find his soul
Imagine Thomas Pridgeon playing a slow blues tune/groove. I can't either.
Completamente stupendo ,un grandissimo sviluppo ritmico ,attraverso la batteria ,questo è talento.bravissimo .
Well folks, Mr grebb by a landslide
Remember one think. Enjoys your self now keep play that Drum
Simon Phillips.
Thomas: just speed and nothing more
Benny Greb …whaaatt!!😳
Simon!!!!!!!!
HOLY FUCK BENNY GREB WOW
