  • This is the first of a cppl of clips that i will post from the BuddyRich tribute concert that i did with the Royal College of Music BigBand in London.
    it was such a joy to play this material and i hope you have fun checking it out too.
    pls understand that i will not post everything in full length cause of copyright reasons
    Thanks again to everyone at the college and Guy Barker (Leader)
    nd of course Buddy Rich for the inspiration
    also to Gregg Bissonette who was the first that i saw to play this song so beautifully.

      Hey Benny Greb, what main ride cymbal and crash cymbal did you use for this concert?

    • @LeXaveChannel
      @LeXaveChannel 5 років тому

      What Buddy Rich always supported the most were indivudual Players who kept true to their own styles (he was a strong supporter of Steve Gadd), and thats what you did on this! Hell yeah man, lovin' it!

      I have been listening you for 10 years here.
      I do not rank drummers as best or worst; I just enjoy your work over any other.
      I still listen to Chris Coleman and Simon Phillips, to Aaron Spears and Dennis Chambers.
      But prefer to listen to you.
      Keep doing what you do and feel free to grow.
      Make lots of money and live long, Benny.

    When I saw and heard BENNY GREB play for the first time. It really blew my mind. I hadn’t seen anything like that ever before in my life and I didn’t understand anything he was doing. But I understood that I really really like this. ❤️ lol
    Anyways, Buddy and Benny are both sooo incredible. Thanks for the inspiration man!

    i love how benny still kept with his signature drum sounds rather than some crazy high tunings...

    • @hawkrider88
      @hawkrider88 4 роки тому

      However, some higher tunings and higher pitched cymbals, particularly the ride, may have cut through a bit better. No argument 'cuz I loved this....just an observation.

    • @benorourke_
      @benorourke_ 4 роки тому +3

      @@hawkrider88 Maybe a little higher, but I think that with considerably higher tuning in a big band setting, the articulation gets lost. Normally small ensemble jazz is higher tuning, and big band is a little lower.

  • @06livefast
    @06livefast 6 років тому +2

    I don’t think I’ve ever heard a drummer with a better feel and approach than this. He plays perfect without sounding robotic, in the pocket while shining and playing complex sticking, and constantly changes the approach to the same groove as if the previous beat was just a lapse in time until the next one came to mind. A+ playing

    This is amazing to see: two different player styles merged into one. Two different techniques, mindsets, eras and music. To play in such a big band concert, filling Buddy's shoes must be one a huge honor. Great job Benny.

    The Mercy mercy album changed my life back in junior high in the late 90's. The guy was a genuine master, and Neil's burning for buddy project was such a beautiful celebration of man's career that will forever impact the way we play drums, much like this performance. Thanks for honoring him on stage, I'm have no doubt he would have only yelled at you a little about coping all Gregg Bissonette's best licks haha
