I still come back to this video all the time...
@kristina Man I thought I was just baked enough to watch this, turns out at about 4:20 I found I was way too baked for all that alien cymbal crap. Holy Jesus. I'm not even tired anymore.
@@mitchtucker bless 🙇♂️
same here :)
This drum solo has it all: the best modern drummer, the best sounding drum kit, the best looking drum kit, rythm, groove, humor, innovation, etc, etc and etc. The best drum solo in history to me
These things are usually subjective, but this is 100% the best drum solo ever recorded.
fully agree with you! i saw that first time.. is he an AI? lol.. Benny for president!
@@pietzsche pure bullshit
I don't know if I should quit drumming now or practice 25 hours a day. This was mind-blowing.
Never quit doing what brings you joy, no matter how good other people are :)
@@JohnSmith-mw9pt the fact that those people exist, always takes away from the enjoyment for me
I'm a drummer too don't stop practicing I promise it gets better you will become your own
If I had a kit that sounded like that I’d want to practice 25 hours a day! Holy fuck 😍🥹
@@eternalreturnal well dude I'm a drummer who only had lessons for 7 years and a pianist of 14 years, music is my absolute EVERYTHING,!!! There will always, and i mean ALWAYS people who will be better than me and you, like this man, and his INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE,, i know it's only a saying, but its true, practice really does make perfect,, but if you're not enjoying it, stop, and stop now and find something else, another passion that truly gives you pure joy, just like watching this did for me, and I'm sure hopefully you too, some people yes are born to do things, others can still learn, but perhaps aren't born to do it, i believe this man was born with rhythm in his soul, take care either way, 🙏
Most musical, interesting, unexpected, and funny(!) drum solo I've seen in years.
if you have a chance have a look at Yoni Madar...quite musical drummer too.
Nailed it! Lol best description
This is pure gold.
More like Nickel, if we're comparing metals..Shiny but dull.
Drum Beats Online : Yes indeed it is.
No he is diamonds 💎
@@godbluffvdgg best comment I've seen this week. Dull.lol. why though? It just doesn't swing for some reason. Perhaps just because of the way his brain processes the music. It's like an exercise.
@@chrisscott6417 :)...It's "Phoned in"... It reminds, sans the Bonzo homage (hand playing), of what we drummers do for warm ups when you're just not "feellin in" ... No heart in the exhibition...I know If I were chosen to do one of these; I would give the audience a show...A well thought out solo that shows some of your technique...But, alas; He plays matched grip so...He's limited right out the gate...
Benny is like fine wine, gets better with age
And too much of it makes you depressed!
Would be a bad sign if a professional drummer gets worse with age.
Daily Drum Lesson. =,D
Due to lack of technique and creativity. Most of them. A few of them are outstanding musicians like you would find in any genre like jazz, fusion or funk. But a good portion of them are mere blast-beating, double-kicking, speed-obsessed caveman.
That's fairly elitist - and disagreeable. Not that I don't get the sentiment - but even amongst 'caveman' techniques like mere blast beating and double kicking, there is art and depth to be found. Without a doubt not as much as the traditional genres, no need to shit on it though.
Drummers in 50 years will remember this video. Legendary
He had shocked me at least 5 times in this one solo WOW creativity
That kit sounds PERFECT!!!
even with the right guy behind it :)
Every kit he plays sounds perfect. Check out the vid of him playing the hello kitty kit for children. (i think it was a hello kitty kit)
It was a spongebob-kit, but yeah, you're right. It Sounds impressive 😁
He often plays Sonor. My first "serious" kit was a DW Custom, but because of Benny and others (such as Chris Coleman, etc), I am definitely considering an SQ1/2 now. I can't think of a video in which I disliked the sound of those drums - and yes, there are DW videos I'm not as impressed with.
I don't own a Sonor right now, so I'm far from a fan-boi. I'm just saying the sound of their high-end gear (re. Benny) is where I'm at these days...
@@sanityinaseaofmadness7353 I haven't owned either but have always loved DW for their amazing gospel/funk qualities... until recently. Sonor produce an even fuller timbre. The symphony produced by the steps and leaps in tone is perfection.
3:03 "Don't mind me, just gonna tune my snare a bit" that literally kicked me out of my seat xD
It's a demonstration of a tuning trick where the the 3 lugs closest to you are left loose while the rest of the lugs are tightened high. The result is by tuning the 3 loose lugs you can easily change from a fat low end sound to a high pitched funk sound very quickly. There's a few videos about it out there.
Benny and Chris Coleman are a lot alike, in that you can see & hear them enjoying what they're doing. Their personality shines through in whatever they play...
Jon they even have the same sponsorships
joshuel david not all of them. Chris is Evans sponsored. Benny uses Remo
Jon Richt i was just thinking that they both let their beautiful spirit shine through . they're CAPABLE to HAVE Fun AND SHOW it
Cymbals sound like shit though
@@user-wh6sp6st8s yeah no they don't
Benny is such a talented musician, but definitely knows how to have fun at the same time. He seems like a person who would be making jokes all night long.
Matthew Parsons he’s hilarious, fantastic sense of humor
You're right... He was the class clown all the time... I remember when our teacher said, he'll never gonna make it far, because Benny never took things seriously... 😅 Great musician, great person. There was that thing, when our English teacher asked him: "Benny, how many E's are in the word FREEZE?" And Benny answered: "Two." Teacher: "No!!!" And Benny confidently said: "Okay. Just one. Only wanted to muck around." 🙈🙈🙈🤣
I need statues of this guy everywhere. Amazing
always looks like he's just having fun. he's one of the all time greats.
I don't think a drum solo has made me smile more than that one right there.
I swear by it. I've seen every seen every possible drum solo on CZcams. This is far and away my personal favorite.
The only way I know how to describe this is otherworldly. Benny Greb is in a class of his own. I normally can't sit through a near 14 minute drum solo... but this man is so musical, so creative, and so obviously in love with what he is doing, that you can't help but keep listening and watching. Cheers to Benny, and to Vic Firth for snagging him!
Okay, this is one of the greatest performances I've ever seen.
ben, you rapscallion. this could be the best drum solo i've seen in the last 30 years...one of the few drummers who can play 100 notes in a measure & not have it sound like drum wankery.
u forgot Buddy Rich huh? The legend, dude!
nope, didn't forget buddy.
Agree. Greb is WAY more of a 'musical' drummer. I know I'll blasted by the numbskulls. But that's cool.
Couldn't agree more. This one kinda blew my mind a bit.
Music has no rules buddy.... try to understand that.. : - )
he just played everything you need to know
Love how he played the double-kick samba ostinato from his first DVD. Almost like he put in a classic for the set.
He's stacked a filter china on his bottom hi-hat!? Benny's like a god damn mad scientist.
Nope. Bottom cymbal of his signature trash hat.
4:21 was so funny. Gotta love Benny! What an amazing drummer.
Watching Benny Greb playing freely is so overwhelming and amusing at the same time! Such a sun. :)
Nine months later, a kid drum set was born. Also, this performance reminds me of Papa Jo Jones. The facial expressions, the joy.
Hands down the most imaginative, entertaining and musical drum solo I've ever seen. I'd be so jazzed after actually seeing that in person!
Benny is so creative and so musical! Then, he blows his Tom! Haha, love it!
Calling it now, this'll be a top 5 viewed video on this channel. Fucking tasty.
Oh Benny Greb you amazing artisan genius. You are the most creative drummer I have ever come across. What a lovely privilege that I get to watch this incredible musical fusion for free!
hands down my favorite drummer of all time
proud to share the first name ;)
I like your style for searching new tectonics on a standard drum kit while never loosing groove. GGROOOOOVVVEEEEEEE!
One of the most compelling, innovative and skillful solos I've seen here to date. Full of humor, suspense and soul!! BRAVO, Benny. You've taken it to the next level!!
I had the good fortune to see Benny play live at a drum clinic a few years ago. Pure magic! I got to meet him and talk to him for a few minutes after the clinic, and he was very modest, very nice guy as well as one of the very best drummers alive. One of the most musical drummers of all time.
This guy... Greb's me every time
One of the best solos I've seen over the years!
In cooking we call this a beautiful deconstruction. Awesome.
Love those stacked hi-hats. Favorite drummer at the minute.
there's a lot to expect from Benny now & in the future, he will redefine drumming. And he grooves!
Art His drum is speaking & telling a story Love it Wow Great
benny, gavin, rené and wim -- most musical drummers on the planet right now. not surprisingly they all play the best drums on the planet too.
Check forAntonio Sanchez czcams.com/video/ZXWVQE6ESwY/video.html&frags=pl%2Cwn
He is awesome too...
it always amazes me to see something this great, skill and entertaining, getting dislikes...
That has to be one of the best drum solo in the whole universe.
A drum solo that makes the audience (and performer) laugh in the middle of it, @ 5:10...Benny is one of a kind.
This is truly next level. Thank you Benny for pushing creative boundaries.
The Master and the Mics.
13:20 of Benny Greb.... i wasn't ready to handle it
Hands down the most creative drummer I've ever heard play.
Sometimes i come back to hear this vid AGAIN and i end up always like:
"HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLYYYYYYYYYY STIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICKS!"
Benny
I guess that I'm just fortunate enough to be able to stumble across this on YT...... that's about as good as it gets for me Benny! Thanks and Blessings!!!
Benny truly understands drumming. He´s a god!
Man this cat is so musical . I can’t remember when a drummer who was soloing held my attention this long .
New favorite solo. Or rather, piece of art.
That foot independence
A master at work ladies and gents
This man is so musical. One of my favorite drummers.
this guy is never bored. amazing!
This is pure beauty on drums... Gold
I think that might have been the coolest solo I have ever seen.
one of the most expressive drummers alive, he can pull a rhythm from anywhere..
Legendary performance
Benny Greg is a true innovator and artist
I love this guy. This solo was the best i've ever seen.
One amazing exhibition of drumming. Benny Greb is a master.
Watching benny Greg play is amazing
One of the best drummers in the world today! Drums sound amazing as well. 😎😎👍
Ridicolous how good he is... Thats so awesome!
Breathtaking
Personally, the most influential showcase I've witnessed! Boom! What an insane utilization of every possible sound accessable
He's just so damn fun.
Benny is'nt of this planet!!! Simply incredible!!!!!!!
Great Drummusic!! Great performance!! Congratulations...
4:21 "I dont know what im doing but this is fcking awesome"
5:10 the moment that a legendary drummer forgets what to play next - priceless
ehiuqwhui2h3jkd so true
Benny is one the best drummers :-)
You can just tell that he loves playing with his drum in every way he can
I don´t know how that its possible, maybe you, Ben, arrived here form other planet you did the best solo on drums and for me you give other meaning to the drums. You are an idol for me and you give me inspiration for continuing study and playing th drums. Ty for every lesson and every time you play. You are one of the best drummer on the world and you write your name on the drums world for ever.
That was an absolutely breath-taking solo. It's amazing how after all these years of watching him solo, how fresh his ideas are, and how he doesn't ever seem to grow tired playing solos for drummers. haha.
Benny has been a huge influence on my playing and philosophy towards Music and drums- I love the 1/2note splashed HH to start things out- how he builds into things-- just amazing playing all around!!!
Wow! Benny is one of my all time favorites. He grooves so hard
My pleasure to give you a LIKE. Amazing drummer!
Who could not like that?? Did they not listen to the magic that was happening? Now that is playing a drum set! Wow. Benny is and always has been a great musician. Thank you for sharing this.
Everything of Benny is just pure gold...but that SNARE, pure heaven
He started playing the set from 2005 by hand!!!! Literally?? Fml he's so good. Love it. Benny is a genius.
Like Jeff Hamilton once said, "There are drummers who play drums, and there are musicians that play drums". Benny Greb's musicality is amazing!
Well I'm not going to scroll down if someone already posted it, but I'll say it (again); Sonor and him need to release a signature floor tom please :p
Bas S indeed
yeeeees pls
@@Jrenglehorn theyre freely in the drum, but his Sound Comes also from his REALLY low tuning and he hits his Floor tom harder because you Need to move more air if ist a bigger drum to get the same volume as smaller drums
You can get a really rich, deep booming thud from a 16" floor tom if you put an Evans EMAD bass drum head on it. use the smaller of the two damping rings supplied and away you go. Of course it will also need a new resonant head - a G1 is probably the best idea, but you could try a G2. I put a little fluffy toy in mine and it has the same effect as cotton balls, but with added wackiness. Mine is a rabbit, but that's just because I found it lying around. You could use any small very fluffy toy. P.S. While you're changing your heads, make sure the bearing edges are super-smooth. If they feel at all rough, then lightly smooth them down with some extra-fine sandpaper - like emery paper - and rub some candle-wax into them. Do all this and your floor tom will sound like a monster!
This guy could play play on kfc buckets and still make them sound good.
Boston Chris them kfc buckets could sound good when tuned right ;)
Did you see him play on a spongebob childrens kit... makes me look like a novice.
@@mrchiefbs yep.. he even made a 10 dollar set sound good
I suck at drumming
CzarCustom Everyone does compared to him...
I suck cock
ranch it up
CzarCustom: as someone who thinks he sucks too, I'll offer a little advice. The better caliber of drummer you listen to, the better a drummer you'll be. No matter what you like, always look for inspiration from drummers who are light-years better than you are. Their influence will slowly-but-surely infect you.
Rock on, brutha
As long as you realize that. Some so called drummers never do and act like they are the bees knees. Always work to improve your self. These guys that play like this practice every damn day. So, if you want it, you gotta work for it.
THIS ladies and gentlemen is what drumming skill is.
Sooooo musical :) Benny is such a gift to the drumming community!
Dear Benny, I was just introduced to your drumming yesterday. I've benn drumming for more than 20 years now. Must say your drumming is refreshing and the kind of atitude drumming needs. Reverb on the bass drum: TOP. Been bateling for that for years with technitians and I'm joked about it... Impressive, good vide and creativity. I love Antonio Sanches drumming, but I give you the best drum solo till this day, the more interesting to listen and combinig several stiles. You made me like double bass something verry rare... Abraço from Portugal!
No words can say what Benny plays.......... WoW!!!
On my bucket list: to see this monster Benny Greb before I pass.
I love his orchestration... Literally can make so many different "instruments" with just one instrument... This separates musicians from drummers
He's one of the few musicians I'll stop whatever I'm doing to watch.
I can't believe what I just witnessed This is the 1st time I've seen this drummer it won't be the last hes the drum controller
This is probably the most creative drum solo I have and will ever see.
8:46 he even places the throne in time
He took us through so much emotions in that drum solo. It was so rich not just impressing! One of the best I've heard! fiuu!
watched multiple times but still "Goose bumps ".
Watched this through, and then watched it through again. Absolutely captivating. Supreme talent.
