Definitely my favorite drummer. He brings sounds, killer grooves and fills out of the kit, I didn't even know they excisted. Very taseful, very musical, never boring and he is just great to watch.
How can anyone dislike this video? He executes an incredible solo, excellent dynamic control, ,mind blowing chops, awesome independence, and best of all .... IT GROOVES! Benny never ceases to amaze me
Three people (as of 2/9/2012) have no idea what a great drummer sounds like. This guy is incredible, and never ceases to amaze and/or inspire me. And those drums sound absolutely incredible!
Dave Weckl, Vinnie Colauita, Tony Williams, some of the greatest ever, but something about Bennys sound and feel that are so unique that I just can't get enough of it. He is incredble.
I don't usually leave comments on RUclips but in this case I had to. There are a lot of great drummers out there but I have to say Benny is probably my favourite. All I can say is WOW!! No disrespect to guys like Thomas Lang, Dave Weckl, Royster Jr. but Benny takes the cake!! Simply amazing!!!
Awesome. So unique in technique. Definitely his own. Goes to show you....that there is no greatest drummer! Just a lot of great drummers with their own unique skills and style!
Just a great solo!!!!!!!!! *BIG*respect,big respect for benny,because you are a god of drum,originality,musicality,réponse,charmed........."FANTASTIC DRUMMER",i love it,men,i love iiit.....it's so fun!!
I think Benny has some of the most unique phrasing... He's not just chops, but there are very unique and creative ideas and dynamics going on here, not just "PLAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN" every 10 seconds mantra, as many 'Guitar Center Drum Offs" go.
Ilias Joels Well, in most solos, they are playing a 'tune' so to speak. It isn't just hitting things, it just you are not aware of the patterns the guys are playing. Trust me, if you are asked to play at the Modern Drummer festival you can be sure you are not just 'hitting things quickly'. Benny is very musical though. I know it's a strange thing to say, but for many drummers, a solo is a composition based on the various chops and licks they know. The chops and licks dictate what the solo will be. Benny always strikes me as someone who would hum his patters first, so he understands them musically, not just as a series of practice exercises. He also has a gorgeous way of playing that makes the tune, rather than the chops, jump out. He's some player!
+Ilias Joels i disagree. some solos are made od emotion watch yoshiki. it is not just hitting randomly one cant be good at drums by just hitting all of it
Tremendous amounds of enthusiasm and immense admiration can cause serious side effects. Like that of clicking the "dislike" button instead of "like". So please don't blame those who unliked the video.
Im a barker fan, hes actually one of my biggest insperations. However i know that benny greb is at a completely different level. Don't just assume that a travis barker fan wouldnt know that this is cleary amazing.
Im pretty sure it's RLL RLL RL RLL RL RLL Accents on First two R's, and the RL in the 5th grouping (one on rack-tom one on snare) The 5th, 6th, and 7th L are on the auxiliary snare. Hope that helps!
with less than 1% dislikes it is pretty easy to explain, there's the haters that just look for videos with nearly no dislikes and dislike them without even watching the video(don't ask me why, im guessing some men just want to watch the world burn) and there's probably some who did actually accidentally click the wrong button

His drum and cymbal sounds are just so perfect.
Where has this guy been. He is one of the tastiest drummers I've ever heard. He is as good as any of the greats.
Benny never fails to blow me away everytime he gets behind the set...
The thing I love about Benny is that not only does he groove but he always thinking outside of the box when it comes to tones and techniques

haha i love the intro! the best solo ive come across in a long time, fluid and funky
Love watching this guy play, he's so creative in his approach.
Saw him at a clinic last year, was amazing! Such a nice guy
gotta love his solos, nice balance of groove and musicality, I think even non drummers can appreciate his ideas, and his kit always sounds amazing.
Benny is one of my favs. He has revived the art of the drum solo for me. Such melody! Such GROOVE!!!
His kit and cymbals sound amazing, this is a true professional.

Awesome. So unique in technique. Definitely his own. Goes to show you....that there is no greatest drummer! Just a lot of great drummers with their own unique skills and style!

those might be the most amazing sounding floor toms ive ever heard
You gotta love the sound of this kit...

Omg this drum sounds really nice.....big BOOOOMMMM
This guy is a freak of nature....he just gets it.
The 17 who disliked this CANNOT possibly be drummers.
amazing video 4.08 is amazing i one his foot technique it is outstanding.
a genius and a hardworker
I love how he incorporates actual grooves and beats in with him solos; rather than just hitting random drums quickly.. coughcoughtonyroysterjrcough
I agree. On most solo's i just see them hitting randomly.. isn't interesting to watch and hear at all.

His drums sound amazing whoooaaaa
He loves on them drums soooooo good!
very very beautiful!!!
Amazing!! you`re my idol!
the drum's sound is wonderful
Not the sweeping part with the toms before it, but is the fill at 38 seconds going to the crash doubles or singles
favorite drummer ever!!!
the floor toms of benny ALways sound soo perfect
and again he is blowing my mind :O
I'm impressed!
Inspiring. Makes me wanna train even more, to be able to play at least at 50% of his skill in few decades
J'adore sa créativité , un de mes batteur favori avec Carter Beauford , Gavin Harrison , Marco Minnemann....
He's not a drummer, He's an artist!
He's making it look so easy!
Benny Greb the drummer with the best groove!
double checked, he is still white... sorry
great solo!
Benny Greebbbbbbbbbbbbbb ahh i bow so beautiful!
Damn sounds great! :)
this man is a beast
I love it when things are in sync
i love the way he groove....
wow. that's all i can say and that's probably my 46th time watching this video
Now thats what you call FULL control of the kit!
0:05
"Woo"
Benny - "Thanks." *gets up and leaves stage*.
I'd still like this video.
Were did this guy come from...He is amazing!!!!
Best. Ever.
his sound is so unique and very different from other drummers
Great stuff
4:08 is just ridiculous.. this guy has truly mastered his craft
0:07 That is all i needed !
Best thing about this solo; It grooved all the way. aka: it was not boring to listen to at all.
i dont think ive ever been to a drum clinic and there hasnt been somehow who at every quiet moment goes " WOOO "

Benny Greb LIKEABOSS. Always.
very impressive!
If anyone can actually make a drum kit sing, i mean literally sing like a human, it's this maniacal beast.. Benny Greb.. Drum translator..
Awesome!!!
I'm going to cry cause I just realized I'll never drum again.cause of knowing I'll never get to this level,He's just,idk..a genius >
So tight!
awesome answer :)
Im a barker fan, hes actually one of my biggest insperations. However i know that benny greb is at a completely different level. Don't just assume that a travis barker fan wouldnt know that this is cleary amazing.
Un excelente baterista.
4:19 I'm thinking of getting myself a double pedal just to be able to play that lick...amazing.
The incredible Benny Greb!
Amazing
Beast!
increible este hombre
Ho... ly... SHIT that was AWESOME!
you got his dvd right? ;) thanks a lot mate!
flawless victory
Im pretty sure it's RLL RLL RL RLL RL RLL
Accents on First two R's, and the RL in the 5th grouping (one on rack-tom one on snare) The 5th, 6th, and 7th L are on the auxiliary snare. Hope that helps!
Thanks 🙏
2:47 that's why he's a good drummer, simple groove, but he makes it sounds awesome !
Groovealicious...
Listen to the bands he has played with and any of his records, no doubt he's an all around great musician,
It is his signature snare. The little side snare is a sq2 snare, but the main is his signature.
with less than 1% dislikes it is pretty easy to explain, there's the haters that just look for videos with nearly no dislikes and dislike them without even watching the video(don't ask me why, im guessing some men just want to watch the world burn) and there's probably some who did actually accidentally click the wrong button
thanks man! =)
Just because it's simple, it can still sound good :-)
