Benny is by far the most grooving musician I've ever heard.
His tunings are impeccable.
Most fluid, grooving and dynamic solo of the series! Fantastic
That groove is greby !
This guy is a forerunner of many current trends. Excellent musician, far beyond just drummer!
The dude applied his own practice technique, that he just published a book about recently, and learned how to play trumpet 🎺
He’s just perfection
I love tons of diff styles of music but Benny and his music never disappoint.
Yes !!!! ❤🥁🎶
Benny Greb. EVERYTHING you want in a drummer and more.
JESUS CHRIST MAN! Now THIS is drumming! 😍
WOW I LOVE MISTER BENNY!!!!!!!! Incredible sound!!!!!!!
His stick technique is phenomenally fluid.

Quite a telling comment. The music is clearly just reduced to being a vehicle to support the aspirations of a player to impress listeners with their ability to exercise. ;-)
I usually play like Benny, easily... In my dreams!!!!! 🤣
God, Benny is, without a doubt, one of the best to ever do it. Still, to this day, one of the best experiences of my life was taking a master class from him in 2015. He is just as amazing of a human being as he a drummer.
I might get eaten alive for this, but I think he's better than Buddy.
@@theHumanBryno He has studied buddy and jojo mayer to a tee. He is modest and humble but he can do everything buddy could do. Its hard to say "better" when youre talking about top tier guys. They are all truly awesome and to compare them is impossible but for all intents and purposes, i believe youre right.
Yeah, I should have phrased that differently, "better" is a pretty objective word and I'm trying to be subjective. Talent isn't very quantifiable and when it comes down to it it's mostly personal preference, all the drummers mentioned are amazing.
bryan macneil comparing top level drummers is difficult but they should be at least contemporaries to be able to make such a claim.
Buddy might have added a trick or two and upped his playing if he lived and performed now ;-)
An amazing drummer, I absolutely love and admire this guy!!!
Perfect!
I’m still into this. Probably won’t get tired of it.
✌🏻❤️💪🏻
Amazing drumming! I love it!
Benny Greb is Pro drummer of Mariokart 8 Deluxe Corporation(BTTF high school student Sleepground 18 years old)
"Re-Dic-Ulous'. Certainly one of the 'New Giants'...in the World of Drums and Percussion. Such 'Feel' and Pocket.
Hot damn, Benny is one sick drummer!
LMAO I though you said "One STICK" drummer and I thought I was missing something or had too much wine.
Uowwwww, master!!!! 😱🙌🏽👆🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
so tasty, greb one of the GOAT
Noooooossaaa!!!
Excepcional!!!!
So krass was du da für ein Groove abziehst . Einfach nur irre 👍👍👍

Wonder how many will get this one😂
"You're heisenberg"

Sanri Kawaguchi, one of the most flexible drummer I have ever seen being a drummer for forty five years I am still learning from Sanri Kawaguchi. God bless you.
Actually amazing. Everything about it.

Greb has it going on, seriously.
ベニー超カッコいいぜ🤓

Monstro na batera!!!
the peopl who disliked this video dont know a masterful musician when they hear and see it
BOOM SLAP BOOM SLAP BOOM BOOM & SLAP
Monstro toca muito
Yaasssir!!
snarky puppy vibe going on!
Well, it's an original song by Benny (called "Grebfruit") but this particular arrangement was done by Sput Searight who also plays keys here, too. The amazing guitar solo in the middle is Mark Lettieri. Sput and Mark are both semi-permanent members of Snarky Puppy. There's your connection and also why you're getting those vibes.
If you haven't already found them, Zildjian has a drum series, with a very similar setup to these VF Jams videos, called "Zildjian LIVE!" that released over the course of 2019. Sput was also tasked to put together the house band for that series as well, and instead of assembling a group like he did here, he decided to just use his current band called Ghost-Note, which he formed with another Snarky Puppy alumni, Nate Werth. Mono Neon is also their bass player, so it's pretty amazing. Anyway, you should go check out those videos if you haven't already.
Good to see Walter White got things going for him again
Michael Biggerstaff I guess all that drug money helped him kickstart his drumming career. And also reincarnating.
He is the one who drums
@@loupain2530 as a drummer not even a meth makers income could suffice my dream drums and all the added accessories that come with being a drummer lmao
BLUFFF, DE LOS MEJORES 5 GROOVE DRUMMERS DE LA ACTUALIDAD. FUCKING IMPRESSIVE!!!
Remember my first teacher and great drummer Jonas Durante
Woooooo HOOOOOOOOO! Amazing all round! To the 17 people who "disliked".. ? I can only assume you are tone deaf, and have the coordination of a new born giraffe..
unknownsamoan01 - hmmm no, some people might just judge music by its musical content and not just by the ability of one or two of the performers to exercise the piece.
(I actually haven’t given it a thumbs down, I admire Greb’s ability to play) ;-)
Muito bom! Chow !
Can someone please help me... i know most cymbals he is using is the meinl byzance Vintage Benny Greb set but do not know which ones he is specifically using. Could someone help me and identify them? I believe he is using the 18in crash on his right but he has it stacked with something idk underneath
QUE GENIO !!!!!
Can't download anymore 😪, does anyone have this play along to send me please ?
4:39 I AM THE ONE WHO KNOCKS!!
Mark Lettieri channelling his inner Wayne Krantz here.
Can I get the play alone of this song .?
As a drummer this made me unexpectantly happy.
The band is super tight!
Bennys cymbals look as shitty and old as mine.
And who ever placed the audience seating is a champ (big chair)
4:05 Remember to make a loud groan XD
You know someone gets free drums when they hit the side of a $2000 floor Tom with their stick.
The download link for the play-along tracks and transcription doesn't work anymore. Can somebody help me with this?
Would be greatly appreciated!
3:58 that dude in the background is feeling it
Elmo 💓💓
Is he using the bottom of his hi-hat cymbal as his top?

(Music looks like a Dance Music. Don't Delete or Private this Video.)
Is this the guy from pomplamoose/patreon?....
He sounds just like the drummer of CCR. Same style. Is it him?
When your trying to think of what brand of sticks the drummer has then you realize "VIC FIRTH LIVE"
Ah must be promarks
holly mother......
0:40 :O
I think i even put down Jacob Armen & Dylian from New Zeland. I know for sure this people are No push over's, what the hell was i thinking?. These people are the Greatest's?. & now i have done it on Drumeo they probably think i'm an dumb ass??.
Silences inside the drumming is delivering soo much better tension , musicality and coherence than every high speed fill in this video . This is why silences are so important . A few drummers plays silences and this is also why most of the time the drumming is getting boring .
That does it, I'm switching to coated heads...lol...lol...
Yo it's Heisenberg
For some reason I just want to start watching Breaking Bad again...I wonder why
So Grebbish. :-)
Primer comentario xD Genial!
Is that a ginormous keyhole in the ride/crash by his floor tom???..no sleeve???...hmmmm

Ha I came back to watch it again and see that 22 deaf people didn't like this. Point taken.
Walter White !!!
he kinda looks like Vsauce?
(08/11/2019) 24 No me gusta!!! ja mejor dicho 24 bateristas frustrados, y contando - es así ....
Music for standing in elevators.
If I was in an elevator that started playing Benny I would hit every floor twice....lol
SuGGoz ha
I do feel really bad about my self thinking. That the Japan Girl Drummer was extreme sauce which she is 100% not going to lie. & put down's are not really a great way of saying that girl's are better then boy's on drum's The drummer's i put down which is Thomas Lang Baard Kolsatd Ryuga from Japan 2014 drum solo & Benny Greb Eric Moore Tony Royster JR & my self D.R i just can't help it the Seri the Japan Girl is Extreme Sauce. & now i have really done :-( :-(. I guess i was just having a really bad day. & those people i listed in the comment above are Legend's except me, which i still have a long way to go name D.R. I mainly hope my 10 year old Niece get's really far in her Drumming :-) .
& doesn't & up being like me, a person that try's his best & teachers Drum's by ear, but sometime's try's to hard by ear, & now she think's she's better then everyone, at her school & put's them down, i can't help her if she's a boss at Drum's, i don't mind if she show's them how to play drum's it's just, she should not put the people down, if she think's she can run circle's around them like Seri can :-(. What have i done :-( .
Wtf
Aun me sigo preguntando que verá la gente en este batería. Por supuesto que es bueno pero ¿para estar situado donde está?... En mi opinión absolutamente NO
I'm just commenting to see if someone will comment on my comment... It rarely happens. Donate a comment to make a young man happy?
Hey
Here you go man have this comment its just for you. Have a good day!
Thanks guys you the best 😍
for a drum-centric video, this is not the best mix possible.
He ruins that snare!!!
What the hell are you talking about? o_O
Ruins in like a positive sexual way.
Kind of would be more fitting of a circus performance to impress the audience with the artistic abilities of a performer.
Nothing I could ever enjoy listening to for pure pleasure in private and certainly no one will be listening back to this in like 20 years....
Overplayed, oversounding and ego focused. There really is no need to play the snare in a big band arrangement with the smack of a Nirvana song.
Benny is the drummer I would rate most highly currently, but he should be careful not to turn himself into just another Kenny Aranov trying to impress as an individual in a band like setting.
Charlie Antonioni would have suited this role here waaaay better and he is not a shy player!
The kind of applause the band get afterwards is telling me that the audience honours the performance and playing ability rather than the actual music.
This all seems where a ‘me’ centred generation is heading to and music and especially jazz and progressiv metal is clearly affected by this.
@@drummerjc5 - it was played to a piece of written music. It's was hurtfully overplayed... I rate Greb as one of the best but there is too much ego in performances like this.. Buddy Rich certainly was not shy but still was more part of the 'whole'.
Anyway that's my opinion.
@@drummerjc5 I understand what you want to say, but I could NEVER listen to that for pure musical pleasure without the visuals / video. It is literally drumming for drums sake and to impress people (and bolster the ego), why even include a big band to make them sound your serves? I would have actually enjoyed it for what it is if it was played as a solo piece.
That's why I say, perfect for a circus tent artist performance with a spotlight on ;-)
And again I respect Greb as one of the greatest of today's players ...
Listen to the studio version. It’s probably much more to your taste. This is a video in a series created by a drum channel to showcase talented drummers. Of course he’s gonna play in a soloistic way
