Is it just me or are Sonor Drums the best sounding drums ever made? Everytime I listen to a set of Sonor's I'm blown away by the sound. Lots of amazing sounding drum sets out there but Sonor's to me are amazing.
1. Yes they are the best sounding ever made 2. Don’t confuse a professionals touch and tuning and another professionals sound engineering for how a drum will actually sound when you purchase it
We are blessed to live in a time with all 3 of these guys. Don't waste your time trying to find out who is better. I wish I knew what they have forgotten about drumming.
simon is not only soloing hes playing along with some killer jazz musicians and keeping in time with them as much as they're playing along with him. a solo is one thing but what simon is doing goes beyond its pretty amazing.
Haha! People are arguing here who was the best. It wasn't the point. All of these are great drummers, and they put original effort in their own solo. I enjoyed. So different, still so good.
I love all three of these drummers. Simon Phillips the master of dynamics. No one makes a groove feel so right like Benny Greb. Thomas Pridgen takes some pretty basic chops and blows your mind with them.
OK....Thomas Pridgen is officially one of my favorite drummers......I mean ALL-TIME. That guy was awesome, and has incredible speed very unique technique. OK, Benny Greb is the most unique drummer I have ever seen. Awesome stuff from that guy for sure.
What’s funny is that the Benny Greb clip cuts just before it’s about to really pick up. I’ve watched that full video a hundred times and the second half is absolutely mind blowing
Benny ist einfach der größte! Wie er wirklich jede klang Fasete aus seinem Schlagzeug raus holt ist grandios. Und seine Dynamik ist von einem anderen Stern, einfach grandios!
Simmon...the best!!....a modernidade está acabando com o brilho do som dos tambores....só se vê velocidade de notas em sextinas em disputa de quem é mais rápido e trapezista. Circo é uma coisa, música é outra. Música toca a alma e mexe com sentimentos. Simmon é da épica da melhor música do planeta. Anos 70 e 80...tiro o meu chapéu para vc S Philips...God Bless
I'll preface my comment by saying that I wish I could play like any of the three of them, but for raw, chaotic excitement, my vote contrasts with the majority and goes to Thomas Pridgen. Simon Phillips stands out for his amazing accuracy and catching all the accents, but Thomas, for me, just kills it! Articulate chaos, I might call it.
Bennie really following in Vinnie's footsteps with the musicality. So entertaining to watch and most of all to listen too. Such a beautiful musical approach.
All of these drummers are proficient and at the top of their game. This is a solo and one may be more creative than the other at the time. They all have incredible chops, especially Thomas, but each brings a different style and unique form of playing and creativity. Obviously Simon is the master at open handed playing, and Thomas brings speed and precision. But Benny is a monster at creating some spectacular sounds and grooves with both hands and sticks. Thanks for the post...
Are these guys even human? I can't believe what they pull off. Love Simon Phillips. I really dig the musicality of B.G. Kind of reminds me of Al Foster. Would have been perfect to go from hands to brushes to sticks.
I am not a huge fan of drum solos but when they are played like this you just have to admire the technique. Thomas Pridgen has some tasty chops. Some drummers even those with a huge level of talent can sometimes dial in a drum solo live but none of that here.
Why are they showing a very old Simon Phillips solo,not one of his best solos for sure. There’s dozens of SP solos on here that blow both guys out the water although Benny is brilliant Simon at his best is mind boggling!!!
Ronald Ent why you talking crap about thomas pridgen? You is a absolute legend. Are you jealous because you never really acomplished something in music?

Thomas Pridgen deserves a lot of respect. Thank you for being yourself Thomas and motivating me to be much better.
We are blessed to live in a time with all 3 of these guys. Don't waste your time trying to find out who is better. I wish I knew what they have forgotten about drumming.
Benny Greb absolutely crushed that, he told a story
All masters in their styles!!!
Benny Greb's solo is probably one of the tastiest things I've ever heard in my life.
Indeed amazing. And what a difference in approach to the other guys which off course great too..
very very true!!!
Que bosta.
As usual
A modern day Papa Joe.
I keep being impressed by Simon's way of playing like it looks like 100% impossible AND a piece of cake at the same time.
definitely something to appreciate in all of these men’s solo’s.
simon is not only soloing hes playing along with some killer jazz musicians and keeping in time with them as much as they're playing along with him. a solo is one thing but what simon is doing goes beyond its pretty amazing.
Thomas Pridgen is the exact reason why I want to play big cymbals with a 6pc Drum Kit Configuration. Gotta love this man! He's a damn beast! :)
Haha! People are arguing here who was the best. It wasn't the point. All of these are great drummers, and they put original effort in their own solo. I enjoyed. So different, still so good.
With Thomas, you always know what you're going to hear.
Nonsense?
CHOPS
Mr Simon Phillips. Spectacular
Simon all the way. Playing with a band even.
Respecting his band, on time, musicality,.. Total beast!
I love all three of these drummers. Simon Phillips the master of dynamics. No one makes a groove feel so right like Benny Greb. Thomas Pridgen takes some pretty basic chops and blows your mind with them.
Simon, hands down in this one. He’s a much better technical drummer than the competition. It really wasn’t even competition in my humble opinion.
Simon Phillips is so musical and adaptable. Chops off the charts.
OK....Thomas Pridgen is officially one of my favorite drummers......I mean ALL-TIME. That guy was awesome, and has incredible speed very unique technique.
OK, Benny Greb is the most unique drummer I have ever seen. Awesome stuff from that guy for sure.
Simmons has great rhythm. He is one of my favorites.
What’s funny is that the Benny Greb clip cuts just before it’s about to really pick up. I’ve watched that full video a hundred times and the second half is absolutely mind blowing
Benny ist einfach der größte! Wie er wirklich jede klang Fasete aus seinem Schlagzeug raus holt ist grandios. Und seine Dynamik ist von einem anderen Stern, einfach grandios!
Benny Greb - BY FAR - the best solo. Musical, creative, melodic, unique. Not even close!
Much respect for all three as they all masters. Benny get my vote for most impressive. Wow!
Greb has an African sound , and he's sounding really good .
The last drummer is just insane..lots of creativity, technique Wowwwwwww......!!!
Simmon...the best!!....a modernidade está acabando com o brilho do som dos tambores....só se vê velocidade de notas em sextinas em disputa de quem é mais rápido e trapezista.

Thomas Pridgen is a fucking beast. THAT'S how you do a solo....
Always loved Simon, always will but in this shoot-out it's Benny for me! What a tastefull display of skill and musicality.. Totally love it!
Simon Philips such a gentleman drummer.. i love this guy
Simon Is Magic+Tama STAR!!! Nr1!!! he play music.
Benny all day...any day...every day. Hands down.
Pridgen is absolutely phenomenal here!
Such clarity, excellent development of motif....
Lmfao!!!
Pridgen is giving the reason why non-drummers roll their eyes about Drum Solos. And i understand it.
Benny greb is seriously the most creative tasteful drummer planet Earth
Simon is a Machine
Phillips, for me the greatest ever. Especially his solo work with protocol Live you get an evening of fantastic drumming
Hiromi Uehara
All amazing...but the last guy got me...I like that different style of him.
Bennie really following in Vinnie's footsteps with the musicality. So entertaining to watch and most of all to listen too. Such a beautiful musical approach.
Benny Greb. Beautiful sounds/drums cymbals and mind. What a great moment!
Simonds so good outrageous drumming
The Simon Phillips kit.... Its an orchestra by itself.
All these guys are great. They all have different approaches to expressing themselves.
Those three drummers are just fantastic......

Benny all the way. Best musicality and conceptual brilliant.
great compilation, thanks for sharing!
Pridgen's playing reminds me of"Animal" from Sesame Street Wild as hell!!!!!!
You ain't even lyin' bro!LOL!
Agreed 😅
Simon thats the best drum solo i ever seen and heard.
Benny Greb, this is unbelievable good
Benny.... posso solo dire: eccezionale!
Benny.... i can only say: awesome!
É de semicolcheia pra cima ! Monstro !
Benny Greb is my spirit animal. Stud...
thats why i love jeff porcaro, never did 1 solo live and is the best drummer ever, the grove master Mr Jeff
I liked Pridgen a whole lot - he played hard and w/ technique, too many drummers get cute when we want to hear DRUMMING!!!
Benny Greg for the win.
Agreed guy is so tasteful and innovative and groovy with his approach. Bet he is one hell of a hand drum player lol
>Benny Greg
drumjosh1987 i was about to comment that, but you already got it, love he's grooves
Are these guys even human? I can't believe what they pull off. Love Simon Phillips. I really dig the musicality of B.G. Kind of reminds me of Al Foster. Would have been perfect to go from hands to brushes to sticks.
It's not what they pull off I can't beieve, it's how they manage to make pulling themselves off sound so impressive.
Awesome solos, and great sound recording !🥁
KING of DRUMMERS!
Simon is an absolute monster and Benny is just the tastiest drummer alive. Im an absolute Phillips fan but Greb wins this one
FINELY FOUND SOME GROOVE . FANTASTIC!!!
Thomas pridgen is the best in the West
Benny Greb plays in the style of a Salsa Timbalero with some conga riffs with his hands on the drums. Baaaaad man.
Honesty is best, right!! Well I used to think bad names watching Prig. I was jealous. Now learning. 😎
wow! Simon Phillips was amazing
Brilliance
Listening to Thomas pride ninja 2022 and it fits
HOLY FUCK BENNY GREB WOW
It's all in the silver shoes!!
I am not a huge fan of drum solos but when they are played like this you just have to admire the technique. Thomas Pridgen has some tasty chops. Some drummers even those with a huge level of talent can sometimes dial in a drum solo live but none of that here.
Remember one think. Enjoys your self now keep play that Drum
Simon Phillips.
en mi banda queda contratado...que animal thomas toca la bata como yo corto el pasto...geniooo
Why are they showing a very old Simon Phillips solo,not one of his best solos for sure. There’s dozens of SP solos on here that blow both guys out the water although Benny is brilliant Simon at his best is mind boggling!!!
Benny oozes artistry...love it!
Simon is a god!
I love Simons open-handed playing style.
Well folks, Mr grebb by a landslide
Excellent!
so dope thanks Rob!
I bet if Thomas put a Turtle Neck Sweater on it would revolutionize his solos.
With Thomas Pridgen...you always know what your gonna get.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have Screetch on percussion tonight 🥁👋👋👋👋👋
LOVE IT ! ! !
After 50 years of playing, I’m officially over solos of any kind.
@ Saw Weckl way back in the day.Still impresses me. But I'm still over solos. Maybe Vinnie.
Benny!
Thomas' solo just sounds like the end of a big rock song to close out the show.
BENNY GREB SABE TOCAR BATERIA..TIENE MUCHOS MATICES ES UN GENIO
Thomas' solo would be a good time to get a beer or use the restroom!!!
Benny reminds me of Peter Erskine in that both have a mind-boggling mastery of the modern drum kit.
Used to have a Benny Greb signature sonor snare...Wish I still have it.
Thomas: just speed and nothing more
Benny Greb. Yes please.
Benny Greb, trop fort!
Damn Simon's getting wiser.
Whooo all that grey hair..
Hands down; Simon has this one.
thank you
Imagine Thomas Pridgeon playing a slow blues tune/groove. I can't either.
Great play
Grebbbb
11:17~ I can't believe it! God's foot!
Simon Phillips and Benny Greb: True Masters
And the True Master wears a shirt. :-)
