Great Benny i have been following you for a long time i would like to ask you where to buy your backing tracks to play with them you can share the link thank you and God bless you 😊
I still return to these videos periodically for a dopamine hit. I love how far he can lay back on his phrasing and then land straight back in the centre like it's nothing. Such control over his pocket, Absolutely shameless! So good!
Seriously. I've posted this a few times, but even though I own a very nice (20 year old) DW kit, Benny's floor tom videos have caused me to look at Sonor for my next purchase. The tone and warmth (and ball-vibrating subsonics) are amazing...
It is not enough that this is probably the most precise and at the same time grooviest man on drums, but, shit, his kit is the best sounding kit I ever heard.
Amid a ton of drum videos online, this is simply in a different league. The tuning of the vintage kit, the ridiculous mix of fast decay cymbals, the rhythmic shifts from latin to pure funk, the bonkers fills - every tiny detail adds up to incredible groove, momentum and feel, and a riveting musical experience. Greb is meticulous; he is to drums what the GB cycling team are to the Tour de France. Be inspired, it doesn't get any better than this.
I swear Benny seems like he's on a mission to create the most disgusting groove known to man, because the pocket gets deeper every single time he makes a video!
Einfach genial! Es ist hier 0:00 Uhr nachts und alle schlafen hier im Haus und trotzdem kann ich nicht leise drehen. Geniales Lied, geniale Drums, einfach eine Inspiration für jeden Musiker!!! Freue mich auf weitere Songs! Keep up the good work!
Possibly one of the most musical and unique sounding drummers out there today ..yes there are chop guys out there ..blazing speed guys ...but drumming in my opinion should be graceful ,melodic and have something to say emotionly.listening to Benny is like going on a magical journey...so refreshing
Don't mind me, I'm just sitting here yelling, "I love Benny Greb!" in an empty house. p.s. Meinl videos always sound so incredible. Props to the mixers/producers.
smooth /smo͞oT͟H/ adjective 1. having an even and regular surface or consistency; free from perceptible projections, lumps, or indentations. "smooth flat rocks" 2. Benny Greb playing drums!
the groove & feel is simply fantastic, really does look simplistic but we all know that isn't the case, the release of Grebfruit2 is going to be huge, awesome stuff as always Benny.
What an amazing performance; he truly succeeds where most fail, which is to make very busy playing in such a groovy way that you could practically dance to it while you vacuum your floor
This groove at the beginning reminds me of Gavin Harrison's groove when he was playing Sound of Muzak! Great stuff Benny, you are a phenomenal drummer!!!
I love this dude ! i just bought his signature snare drum, Sonor, 13" over 5 and 3/4 " ... its SO nice ! Ive been playing like a kid since i bought it !!
I come back everyday to listen to this. Am I the only one? Everything is perfect! From the video, the audio, the video and don't even get me started on the drumming. Perfection.
Being a German drummer, it's interesting how you can hear that Afro-Cuban style coming through. As a matter of fact since he first came out. Benny is a great drummer with a way to make other styles sound Grebish. I have his video and I have learned a great deal. Thanks Benny.
Here from your interview on Bill Burr's podcast. I'm not a drummer, but I am a marching/concert band geek from ages past. Always appreciated and loved percussion. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and I look forward to checking out your book! 😊✨
thank you all for your kind comments! all the best.Benny
Benny Greb you son of a bitch. Get to Australia!
Your playing is so effortless
Great Benny i have been following you for a long time i would like to ask you where to buy your backing tracks to play with them you can share the link thank you and God bless you 😊
Dat ist gud benny
HELLO, BENNY GREB (;
Benny is a cosmic gift from the universe to the drumming community... and we are grateful.
You said it right! :D
We are most grateful.
However, I'm certain he would believe in hard work and not gifts.
Coming soon: The Art & Science of Effort VS "Natural Talent".
I think you misinterpreted my comment a little bit. I was saying that he is a gift to us... not that he is gifted without effort.
Hey Austin. Theres got to be a study the greats in this video somewhere? ;)
100% agree. I'm glad his space ship crashed here!
Simply unrivaled at what he does. What a legend.
This is straight up ridiculous. Benny's playing is always so tasty. And that floor Tom is killer!!
sums it up.. haha
he abuses that flor tom so much
I know!!
he performed this song at the Meinl Drum Festival. man, f¨cking awesome
www.patrickbuzo.com
the whole kit sounds just phenomenal!
I still return to these videos periodically for a dopamine hit. I love how far he can lay back on his phrasing and then land straight back in the centre like it's nothing. Such control over his pocket, Absolutely shameless! So good!
bennys floor tom should become a religion
LooooooooL
😅
Obligatory comment about Benny's floor tom
Seriously.
I've posted this a few times, but even though I own a very nice (20 year old) DW kit, Benny's floor tom videos have caused me to look at Sonor for my next purchase. The tone and warmth (and ball-vibrating subsonics) are amazing...
Ken Vallejos I “unliked” this comment just so I could like it again!! 😜
It is not enough that this is probably the most precise and at the same time grooviest man on drums, but, shit, his kit is the best sounding kit I ever heard.
every kit he has ever had has had me mesmerized from beauty and sound.
Amazing as always Benny! Everything that comes from Benny is just pure musical magic. #LivingLegend. See you soon man!
Juan Carlito Mendoza juanito!
What's up Paul!!! Hope all is well!

I can't wait for GREBFRUIT2. I listened to Grebfruit at work almost every day last summer.
OH.
MY.
GREB.
Expectations surpassed.
Album of the year already.
With a VInnie cover included too!
Just started watching again , my god this guy has things going on . Too many to mention. And the attention payed to his sound and mix , next level .
Benny is, by far, one of the best things that happened to drumming this last 10 years. Great to have you with us man.
Oh my gosh. The groove king's back.
Maximiliam Andersson he's never been away ;)
Kevin Nguyen Drums - I was betting on that this comment would show up, hehe. :) back with another album, that is!
Maximiliam Andersson I understand, I'm a big fan of your work btw! your transcriptions helped me out a ton :)
Max can you please do 6/8 by Blink ? 🤓 no one does Blink covers as good as you.
1 second and I am in awe. this wonderful location, his amazing setup and 6 minutes of pure tastiness guaranteed.
3:07 when Benny's so tight even his cymbals fall back to place on the beat
EthT 😂😂😂😂😂😂
EthT when you see a video too many times... (not a bad thing at all)
And also in 0:21 ... This cymbal is groovy!
1st time i listen to this great drummer,,,daamnnnn !!! nice compadre !!!
Cymbal companies: "how do we get people to buy more cymbals?" some dude: "how bout we get them to stack'em?!"
That change of set, with the pile of chair on the background. Totally not just music, but architecture. Love benny since I was a child

Greb is meticulous; he is to drums what the GB cycling team are to the Tour de France. Be inspired, it doesn't get any better than this.
I love the way he does some quick fills trading between his double kick and hands. Kinda reminds me of how Thomas Lang voices his fills
I literally reference this video for mixing drums at home on the DAW. It doesn't get better than this.
He has that rare and elusive quality - f****ng great feel. The amazing chops are an added extra
I swear Benny seems like he's on a mission to create the most disgusting groove known to man, because the pocket gets deeper every single time he makes a video!
SUPERB!!! craftsmanship...
My favorite part is when the video cuts to Walter White playing the ultra minimal drum kit. I'm glad he's found healthier hobbies than cooking meth.
i‘m reading this comment years later, but for me personally you won the internet today
You are amazing and one of my favorites. And that stack above the hats is so nice. Drums sound amazing too
Einfach genial! Es ist hier 0:00 Uhr nachts und alle schlafen hier im Haus und trotzdem kann ich nicht leise drehen. Geniales Lied, geniale Drums, einfach eine Inspiration für jeden Musiker!!! Freue mich auf weitere Songs! Keep up the good work!
Wir werden noch fünf weitere veröffentlichen. Einer pro Monat bis November
Thank you Mr. Greb for putting so much of your world influence on display; from your German Brass Band roots to the Afro-Cuban introduction.
brilliant outstanding amazing fabulous
I don't know if there's any drummer I enjoy listening to more at this point....
flawless.
Benny's playing is always fun and tasteful. A joy to see and hear.
2:57 I swear to god I’ve never heard a solo that perfectly clean
the cymbals are amazing but the sonor vintage kit really stands out to me
Super smooth as usual Benny!! Great hearing some new music from you bro!!
I seriously can't get enough of this.
Possibly one of the most musical and unique sounding drummers out there today ..yes there are chop guys out there ..blazing speed guys ...but drumming in my opinion should be graceful ,melodic and have something to say emotionly.listening to Benny is like going on a magical journey...so refreshing
Love his cymbal ideas, he obviously likes the tone of bigger crashes/cymbals without the big sustain, and this is a brilliant solution.
One of the best drummers of all time! Salute to Mr. Benny Greb.
I cannot, can not wait to hear this album!
Don't mind me, I'm just sitting here yelling, "I love Benny Greb!" in an empty house.
p.s. Meinl videos always sound so incredible. Props to the mixers/producers.
Fantastic Benny 👍
Hot dang! Benny, you killed it!

Benny Greb playing drums!
the groove & feel is simply fantastic, really does look simplistic but we all know that isn't the case, the release of Grebfruit2 is going to be huge, awesome stuff as always Benny.
Beautifully and masterfully played.
We are not worthy.
What's not to like? How any drummer can give this a thumbs down, they should be ashamed of themselves
So proud to have the original Grebfruit 2 snare drumhead signed from Benny! :) Especially when I hear what he used it for!
It should be illegal to have this much groove.
Those fills are sick! You never know what's coming! Making it really interesting and mesmerizing :)
I like to hear and watch Benny Greb videos :-)
me amarro ver a pegada de batera do Benny greb. esse cara é um monstro toca muito sou fã desse batera muitoooo booooom maaaaassa.👌🇧🇷
In my opinion this is by far the best Benny's composition.
What an amazing performance; he truly succeeds where most fail, which is to make very busy playing in such a groovy way that you could practically dance to it while you vacuum your floor
Amazing time as always, working though the first of Benny's books not and seeing amazing results
Awesome Benny! Reminds me of my time in South Africa playing in concert in front of 35,000 people. Awesome drumming! DC
Good Lord that was so sweet. Grebfruit II sounds exciting.
Tasty! Groovy!!,Avec ou sans boulettes .Love It
It just feels good watching
sonor doing a great job...
great instremants with great quality finish
Beautiful playing!!! 😀😀😀
This groove made me spill my god Damn coffee on my clothes
know the feeling man, just dribbled scotch down my shirt. (I'm blaming that floor tom!!!)
This groove at the beginning reminds me of Gavin Harrison's groove when he was playing Sound of Muzak! Great stuff Benny, you are a phenomenal drummer!!!
Oh my god, you just killed it, Benny!
I love this dude ! i just bought his signature snare drum, Sonor, 13" over 5 and 3/4 " ... its SO nice ! Ive been playing like a kid since i bought it !!
Ha! I feel great when I hear this tune. Thanks Benny!
Oh shit I need my headphones, it's a Benny vid!

I come back everyday to listen to this. Am I the only one? Everything is perfect! From the video, the audio, the video and don't even get me started on the drumming. Perfection.
So great I have to make up a word..........AMAZ-BALLS!!

Benny Greb feat Heinsenberg
Marcos Banus glad I'm not the only one who thought that...
Say his name.....
Grebenberg.
Heisengreb
when you realize that "berg" spelled backwards is "Greb"
So amazing.
Can't stop watching this!! :)
Album Release (Amazon): 21. July 2017
Being a German drummer, it's interesting how you can hear that Afro-Cuban style coming through. As a matter of fact since he first came out. Benny is a great drummer with a way to make other styles sound Grebish. I have his video and I have learned a great deal. Thanks Benny.
I'm here after watching Matt gartska and I'm realizing Benny is one of the only dudes that can hold a candle to what Matt does
Couscous is a traditional Tunisian meal, so tast like this groove ! Benny is amazing
Fantastic!!! As always
I live these videos by Meinl
2:56 to 3:17 is hands down the best drumming I have ever had the privilege of watching and listening to. Utter, utter genius.
so good its great that this whole song is nothing but scatting
I have my BOSE headphones on and cranked up ..... WOW!
that floor tom is just killer !
tastiest thing ive heard all week. jesus.
You sir are quickly becoming one of my favorite drummers!
I never knew stacked chairs could make such ATMOSPHERE.
Unique Groove and Style
