One of the vocal tutors at my University used to go to University with him and a friend of hers lived with him if I remember correctly. She once told me he would skip out on most social gatherings to play and practice drums all day, ever day and showing off the sick solos he learned in the evenings...that amount of discipline is perhaps even more impressive to me 😂
It’s all about what you Hear in your head... Think and Sing 64ths... 32nds... 16ths... and different Accents and polyrhythms while singing.... that’s all... lol
Pay attention ladies and gentleman. Not only is Benny Greb the respectable Legend of our time, He also showcases the frustration of being a drummer just before delivering a masterclass performance. So much respect.
It is that 'amazing'?! This was really good, but I just don't get the hype about this guy. It wasn't all THAT. P.S. I was NOT one of the 'thumbs down' votes, either.
At the second half of the solo, repeating the pattern the audience is clapping to before each break, just so they don't get lost, is a genius detail for me
Benny Greb is on another level of drumming. The amount of accuracy, consistency, and the ability to read off of a crowd is absolutely amazing! I hope I get the honor of meeting him some day!
one of the most tasteful drummers ever, not just trying the annihilate the drum kit with a display of technical abilities with no real musical sense, but placing his tremendous ability and creativity to produce a very musical and tasteful sound on his own, really remarkable as is always the case with him
Flowing so easily in every subdivision and time signature one could imagine is absolutely insane. Felling like you watching at something fundamental, like Time itself
Groove, power, musicality - all wrapped up in a technique that is, frankly, intimidating. Benny Greb ranks up there with the greatest drummers that have ever lived.
Что еще нужно для хорошего начала дня? Две барабанные палочки и хорошее настроение обеспеченно. Благодарю Бенни, Криса и Дженик за такое эмоциональное и яркое выступление.
Im glad we get to see benny greb make mistakes in his playing, it makes us not feel so afraid about playing something incorrectly and feeling disappointed with ourselves (for me at least). Mistakes aside though, killer performance from him and the band as always. Gotta love that guitar player!
JEEZ! I mean, everytime i watch Benny play the drums i expect him to do something unique and beautiful, but this was above every single thing he has ever done on a drum kit
I can' stop seeing this vídeo!! It's a kind of overwhelming thing...the talent of Benny out of this world, very well acompanied, when they started playing it' a such a good vibe that makes me happy...thanks!!
Holy crap best drum solo ever! I know its a crowd of drummers but to get that man people clapping in time together and not just on a quarter note is very impressive. My hat is off to you sir!
Two things you need to be that good, well maybe three. Lots of practice, great parents and a sound proof room. Ha! That’s exactly how I would play if I could play. So cool!
Not really the lighting since the lighting would be the same for all the performers. Those cymbals have a very flat finish and from what it looks like, little to no lathing. They almost have a sand blasted finish so you don't see much shine.
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCES I'VE SEEN IN A LIFETIME. COLOURFUL, EXCITING, TECHNICALLY PERFECT, SOULFUL.... COULD STAND HERE DECADES KEEP ON ADDING.... OH YEAH.. THAT DAMN FLOOR TOM!! SCARY. I'D NOT BE A DRUMMER IF IT WASN'T FOR MR. BG..
Since his first dvd language of drumming i have continuously been impressed by his approach to music and his pocket. Damn cool guy and a master of time! Love it!
Love the crowd participation. Benny using the crowd like a metronome must be amazing energy. A very fortunate few can play like the instrument and the man are one. Like to see him play with Phillips or Chambers.
Hey guys. just wanted to take a sec to thank you for being so generous in your comments here. appreciate it a lot. all the best to you!
Nicely done, mate. We appreciate your talents very much.
Love you Benny!
you messed up on purpose, didn't you?
You're one of the greatest Benny, it's normal !!
You’re way too nice and genuine to garner any less! Thank you for your influence .
So nice of Benny to deliberately mess up to help all of us drummers feel better. That was a very nice gesture. 😄
His floor tom scares me. Its enchanted.
Probably a 15”.
MusiQsounds Productions it’s a 16”. Or at least what he normally tore the floor tom trick with is a 16”
Does*
Timmy Dodd i see.
20" x 18" Bass Drum
10" x 8" Tom
14" x 14" Floor Tom
16" x 16" Floor Tom
13" x 5.75" Signature Snare
@@musiqsoundsproductions just the 16 floor tom, the other its another signature snare, he has been using that configuration for years
I can’t understand the amount of creativity, technique, groove and preciseness Benny plays with

Go learn some drumming basics and you'll quickly understand. it's not voodoo.
@@polardeathdog5093 I assume youll upload a video of you playing this part right? Id love to see your take.
@@polardeathdog5093 just checking if you recovered from your negativity trip in this comment section.

I love the bass player. He's like "for once it's wasn't me." Great spirit guys!
He missing nots! Thats not acceptable for his "level"(ofcourse the level about he talking about himself). So arrogant person.
ROFL! I caught that as well, really helps to know that even the awesome professionals mess up now and then.
Pay attention ladies and gentleman. Not only is Benny Greb the respectable Legend of our time, He also showcases the frustration of being a drummer just before delivering a masterclass performance. So much respect.
I can’t understand how someone could dislike such an amazing performance
Because they're jealously outweighs their appreciation for music
Perhaps they are hearing impaired as well.
Because when you say 'not interested' it automatically thumbs down. It's a silly system but there you go.
It is that 'amazing'?! This was really good, but I just don't get the hype about this guy. It wasn't all THAT. P.S. I was NOT one of the 'thumbs down' votes, either.
@@revyu6754 I personally love his creativity and uniqueness. Nobody sounds quite like Benny. Another drummer I'm growing very fond of is Dan Mayo
Benny didn’t mess up, the world just went out of tempo for a minute and then recovered
no, he fucked up. Much more than messing up. Your heros make mistakes, live with it.
@@polardeathdog5093 someone cant read a joke
@@polardeathdog5093 Ah I see we have a jealous piper here ladies and gents
@@polardeathdog5093 why lust why
@@t.a.b6328 seriously
Smh
I'm pretty sure that most people in the crowd are drummers. They all clap while maintaining the tempo as well haha
Exactly what I thought! Only at a drum festival can you trust the crowd to keep the beat while you solo.
It was incredible. Never have I been in a crowd that was so in time. Haha
🤣🤣funny but so true!
It was epic. Everyone keeping time while Benny does his thing ..
Benny Greb is a "prix Nobel" drummer !
my god!! , that snare sounds incredible.
Yes. This. Incredible. Hells.
At the second half of the solo, repeating the pattern the audience is clapping to before each break, just so they don't get lost, is a genius detail for me
The tone he creates with those drums is absolutely unreal
The most musical drummer on planet earth.
There are only a handful of audiences that could keep on clapping like that. Benny knew what he could work with and it was perfect
The drummer is always the king of the band. This is why they sit on the throne.
Dear Benny... Please keep on doing what you are doing... don’t stop! Just like mr gadd...I love the way you play... so much groove...
Benny Greb is on another level of drumming. The amount of accuracy, consistency, and the ability to read off of a crowd is absolutely amazing! I hope I get the honor of meeting him some day!
Amazing performance Benny and the rest of Moving Parts! Who else wants to hear Benny drum with The Mars Volta 😮
any video with Benny Greb drumming is always a must watch
one of the most tasteful drummers ever, not just trying the annihilate the drum kit with a display of technical abilities with no real musical sense, but placing his tremendous ability and creativity to produce a very musical and tasteful sound on his own, really remarkable as is always the case with him
As drummer i am personally a Thomas Lang fanboy but I cannot help to be amazed by Benny Greb's musical genius and the feel every time I see him play.
This video makes me happy and joy...never know, heard and saw Benny Greb play before...he's such an amazing drummer 👍👍👍🥳
the gift of God and hard work
Love seeing Janek holding down the low end! Lovely surprise.
That snare sounds insane, the tone of the kick and toms is insane and the cymbals sound INSANE! What a beautiful sounding kit omg 😮😊❤
Please don't put ads in such videos..such injustice should not be tolerated. But thank you drumeo for making my day.
GOT DAYUM that guitar solo was clean 💯
I love to see heros reveal their human ness. makes it all possible with practice!
Love that Benny always performs with a band.
There is something raw and magical going on here. Very special!
What a natural performer!
Wow. I ear John Scofield on guitar but I see it on drums.
More seriously, it's AMAZING. Marvellous band.
This beast on drums. What a feeling.
Benny is simply the greatest drummer on earth, he is just spectacular
Greatest is relative and subjective to the view of the individual and there is no such thing in drumming as it is an art.
@@fidelty2427 shut up you hipster
That has to have been the most wholesome intro to a song i’ve seen in my whole life..
Love Benny Greb!!!
Fluidity, agility, mobility, sensibility, and MAJOR abilty!!!
Great guy, too!!!😎👍
Flowing so easily in every subdivision and time signature one could imagine is absolutely insane. Felling like you watching at something fundamental, like Time itself

My God a pleasure to watch and listen to what a sound player
Wowwwwwww what a musical drummer !!!
I really love that "whoo!" part in the beginning, it feels so much joy and happiness! Great drummer mr. Benny as always!
And this ladies and gents is why jam band is the best music genre.
Drumeo perfectly inherits the spirit of the MD Festival.
It does!

Benny is national treasure. Of every nation, not just his own.
This truly was pure fun watching and listening. What an honor to have such gifted musicians among us! Thank you!

I can' stop seeing this vídeo!! It's a kind of overwhelming thing...the talent of Benny out of this world, very well acompanied, when they started playing it' a such a good vibe that makes me happy...thanks!!
nice and fluid..he discovers the rhythms as he goes ..its always a surprise ..like an old guitar player friend once said ..follow the road
Holy crap best drum solo ever! I know its a crowd of drummers but to get that man people clapping in time together and not just on a quarter note is very impressive. My hat is off to you sir!
Some serious John Scofield group vibes here! Love it!
Still blown away by how versatile Benny is behind a 4.5 piece
Same here
@Topjunkie You're so wrong, especially on Mangini. You don't need to tear down other musicians to praise another either. Grow up.
@Topjunkie that’s like telling a guitarist “sure, you can solo well, but can you do it with just the top 2 frets?”
This is still the greatest drumming video of all time. It’s so real and soooo gooddddd
Anyone who dislikes this has no idea what it means to actually be a drummer or a musician.
They don’t understand creativity.
Benny Greb inspired me to shed because his style always makes me groove along.
I bet that guy intentionally messed up to get the crowd hiped
I bet. It'd be quite dissapointing if he didn't choose to go on. Never stop a song.
it was NOT planned.
That's the only explanation because he never messes up haha
Jonhattan Benny makes plenty of mistakes. The key is turning his mistakes into victories, which he has a knack for doing every single time.
Definitely on accident. I can hear him thinking about about it in the song’s performance
Big Ben is getting better and better from time to time
Benny could restart 27 times, the groove after always makes up for it💯
Two things you need to be that good, well maybe three. Lots of practice, great parents and a sound proof room. Ha! That’s exactly how I would play if I could play. So cool!
Amazing song… amazing band!!! Benny is one of my favourite drummer and his style is very innovative!!! Thanks guys
Benny, you are the Groove master no doubt.
Benny wasn't wong about his feeling, this was amazing indeed!
Janek and Benny,,,,,,Man,,,,,,,,,, Coffee drinkers, probably the most interesting rhythm section,,,,,
Benny not only plays technically brilliant, but also so MUSICAL!!!
1st time seeing Benny play. I dig this cat a lot. U see, WE drummers can interpret time, & play within it, however the hell we want to.
I was there that night in 2020 just fabulous. That was a magical night and the sound of your drums was deadly. Thanks for the killer performance
Benny. The ultimate groove machine
The lighting made the cymbals look like electronic ones.
Not really the lighting since the lighting would be the same for all the performers. Those cymbals have a very flat finish and from what it looks like, little to no lathing. They almost have a sand blasted finish so you don't see much shine.
This guy is just a pure genius !!!! Amazing among of talent and humanity !
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCES I'VE SEEN IN A LIFETIME. COLOURFUL, EXCITING, TECHNICALLY PERFECT, SOULFUL.... COULD STAND HERE DECADES KEEP ON ADDING.... OH YEAH.. THAT DAMN FLOOR TOM!! SCARY.
I'D NOT BE A DRUMMER IF IT WASN'T FOR MR. BG..
I love how he step on the double bass and hi-hat pedal at the same time.
dis groove kept me on my train pad for months, the ghost are crazy 🤯🤯
The groove is so nice!!😍😍
Benny greb is one of my favorite drummers!!
Thanks for uploading this video!
I love this video so much!!
Since his first dvd language of drumming i have continuously been impressed by his approach to music and his pocket. Damn cool guy and a master of time! Love it!
Best show I’ve been to and one of the most welcoming audiences I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait for 2021’s festival 🙏🙏😁😁
Glad you could join us :)
Benny is a god hope I can learn from him one day
I love the left foot work! That's the key to holding the band together while playing syncopated figures.
Not only one of the grooviest and technical drummers ever witnessed...But also the funniest.
How to play like a beast and be nice to others 101 by Benny Greb !
Love the crowd participation. Benny using the crowd like a metronome must be amazing energy. A very fortunate few can play like the instrument and the man are one. Like to see him play with Phillips or Chambers.
Always consistently has his main snare tuned to perfection
9:36 - 9:43 flawless
So clean. So crisp. So complex, yet so fluid. This man is a true artist.
he is amazing drummer his drum solo amazing
Bennys talent speaks for itself but that guitar player is also incredible. Gives me Scofield vibes
Batera extremamente técnico, limpo e imprevisível! Referência pura🙌🏻
Nothing grooves as Benny Greb!
BG always a blast, always inspiring me to run to the kit
amazing
Great feel 💆🏻♂️
Best version of Nodding hill
I remember what it was like to watch live music.
Benny Greb Musician Drummer Entertainer and so much more 🥁😊🙏🏼
I cannot stop watching this WOW!.
How to play the hi-hat and the double pedal all at the same time. By Benny. Thanks mate, you're a legend!
That bass player is such a vibe
That floor tom is insane!
What a guy, "it was me." Everybody is human.
That floor tom, guys. THAT FLOOR TOM. 😩🔥
Realmente increíble, el groove y la musicalidad fluyendo por las venas. Expulsando ritmo hacia fuera ❤🤘🥁🔥
The drumming world is in good hands.
