[Terror003]

[BeatenNun]

That kit is sick!

[a1rrick]

ONE OF THE BEST DRUMMERS ALIVE

[christhedrummer1973]

One of the best!!! Check out some of his simple grooves also. Like fuckin' liquid... smooth and controlled. His broken triplet grooves and fills are sick! If your a drummer and want to step your game up, study everything you can find on Benny Greb!!!!

[chronz17777]

wow

[DrummerTHRICE]

friggin amazing.... i had a concert last year at the senior high i'm goin to.... drum concert ;) anyways a guy played with his hands it was amazing...

[HITmanThief]

I'm proper feelin the groove at 3:43 - Fuckin awesome!

H!Tman

[zHowie]

i love that bit, especially how he like, segments the groove with pauses, sick.

[paulwall1981]

B Greb should be more well known cause he very good an tight drummmer whose grooves are gr8. Keep up the good work Mr. Greb.

[Sammo2988]

This is what i call "Drum's master". You're a God Benny!!!

[Vlin1986]

he's a Monster at the Drums.. ubelievable Guy

[adamabra8]

Pretty damn awesome. He reminds me a lot of the great Mangini. Especially with the silly expressions he makes when he plays.

[calumisdead]

KIKI BOBO

[XBLftw1234]

okay,i didnt really like the beginning but i really liked the hi-hat with snares and everything else basically and to all you people talking shit about drums and drummer i hope you can change your fucking attitude about music cuz if you play an instrument and you get in a band an talk shit about drums you will get put out i guarantee it

[funkbeastbasslover]

[barcanard]

Those drums sound so pretty

[pedals8]

best solo artist i think since buddy rich

[root1801]

[redguy1993]

[69thCummykaze]

Great drumming. Perfect timings, I`m watching this vid a lot times for a day. :P

[robertvss]

ow my god he is amazing love this vid

[VAI666]

Esos son niveles d tecnica exagerados. yo no me la creo; ese wei no es humano..!!!

Beautiful hands... =]

[NYGSD]

this guy isn't a drummer, he's a musician. so good

[Drumfetus]

now what the fuck is that suposed to mean you foucking douche bag

[MoscowKid]

Absolutely right. Benny's more than just a drummer.

[BrownBear96]

Sorry... Arent all drummers also musicians? Drums are Intsruments, or not?

[cabose34521]

Drums are Interments, and it takes a good musician to people them. Anyone can be a drummer, but a musician is a different story.

[BrownBear96]

and when is a drummer a musician? I think you are talking shit :D

[Ignitelvl3]

i'm a drummer.. Grade 8 to be infact, your calling me basically a nobody to the music society?

well brownbear.. do you play anything if so cause then your not a musician and youi've disgraced all the people that play your instrument!!

get some flippin manners you n0b!

[wolfpack9iloilo]

how stupid of u..u better review what is music is all about...anyone who write this kind of trash doesn't have an idea of what music is...u better go back to school and learn about music or rather ask a music teacher what's the role of a drummer in a band..drummers are the back bones of music..u can't make a beat or groove without it...why i'm wasting my time to a stupid idiot like u...

[drummerkyd94]

man you got a really good point wolfpack9iloilo guitarists and front men get all the glory when the drummers really dont get much respect...but like you said, they hold the band up

[doctaLB]

@NYGSD that's the same thing.

[tjdrummer13]

@NYGSD His not a musician, his chuck norris.

[drumjunky33]

yeah i have loved this guy since the first time i seen him play!!!! he is on of the best if not the best i've ever seen!

[ilgheisha]

bye bye mangini

amazing

[polishdrummer15]

Yeah Benny is my favourite drummer i really like his style.He rOx

[dieoachos]

god

[bendrummin]

Probably one of my favorite solos of all time. :)

[Chilipeppers16]

I never really find drum solos very interesting, but this is absolutely incredible. He displays his chops in a musical way and is one of favorite drummers for it.

[ShutTheFuckUp995]

13 noveber 2005 i was 10 years :D

[cldt1990]

next fave right up there with marco minnemann...i like alot of germs lol.

[Sammo2988]

Ritmo, sabor, imaginacion, innovacion, todo en un solo baterista. De verdad, este tipo es un maestro. Impresionante. Sammo.

[mofo13it]

gotta love a drummer like that... completely "un-cocky", poised, unique, not to mention overall AMAZING!

[MoscowKid]

In my opinion, Greb has taken the best of Bozzio, (the ostinatos), the best of guys like Weckl and Colaiuto, (the chops), and the best of every Mo-town drummer who laid down a tasty groove and put it all together. Good stuff!

[scottthemadbeast]

the mighty benny!! :D he is one of my favs!!! i LOVE the best he starts doing at 1:11. his groove and co-ordination is just spectacular!! :D what a guy!! :)

[GrantRobSal]

absolutely unbelievable, i could watch this all day. he is just to good for words!

[nixproblem]

he´s just fuckin´awesome!!!

his grove,technique,precision and musicality...unbelievable!!!on­e of my favourite drummers!!!

[Mystic482]

human cant play drums like that ...

[schalkesucks]

that`s my favourite drum solo !!!

it is awesome

[sportsfreund89]

Benny Greb YOU ARE MY HERO!!! i love your style and originality!

[puperbratwurst]

ich will ja nichts sagen...aber du weißt schon, dass der Gute deutsch is???

[cv15unit69]

theirs a 16yr old who can do this, His names Dylan Elise, he lives in new zealend. type in youtube, Dylan Elise Drum Solo

[alright28]

freaking unreal.. his presision and groove are quite unbelievable.. a real genius, both technically and musically!

[Normanroberts]

He uses Sonor

[Weddze]

THIS MAN IS FUCKING SICK.....OMG

MUSIC CAN BE SO POWERFULL

Buildings fall OVER not DOWN

immortal techniques

bush knocked down the towers. the poverty philosophy

[thec0nky]

hes got some serious shit goin on, awesome!

[cryptopsyskully]

anyone know what brand and model kit he uses? his toms sound fantastic

[JamozDirect]

i think its a sonor but not 100%

[masterfunkdrummer]

sonor designer

[MMaatthhiieeuu]

Actually a Sonor Delite. They sound real sweet.

[CELLAROFDEATH]

Chris Adler should suck Benny Greb's dick! He ain't got shit on Benny!! lol!!

[dublekick]

well considering chris adler taught himself and he not a joey jordison copy, and the fact he is getting offers from people like ron jarzombek to play for him i think he is pretty damn good, he may not be able to solo like this dude , but he is fucking awesome.

[m1sterh0tsauc3]

sickage

[jshads88]

Thats awesome. Never heard of him. Deffinatly going to go watch more of his stuff.

Realy funky beats loved it =p

[conjigalo]

EVERYONE ignore astro1218.

People like him say this stuff to get a reaction.

It is probably the only time people talk to him.

[mrclembo]

yeah too right mate!

[vadersarion]

Last part:P Sweeeeeeet

such a great ritme, You can actually hear the drum scream:O

[BTLDrummer]

Love his drumming!

I seen him in Birmingham england,

He was great!

Amazing drumming and great personality.

x

[lateralus12345]

i was there and proud.Great stuff!!!!

[owens10101]

wicked

[joshybrom]

very good respect mate

[GedStan]

One of the best solo`s of him I`ve seen so far!

SICK - can`t say anything else. Great mix of taste and technique

[robinwakerell]

This guy deff has mad skills.

Props.

[ZildjianDrummer244]

Excellent job!

[FixeLoLinc]

wow

[crackerphysics]

not only a good drummer but he's also a great entertainer. nice one, thats what im looking for from drummers.

[lypunkdud20]

its a whole new type of drumming

[zombiemusic]

Yea I also saw and met him at drummerlive, very modest and awesome behind the drumkit.

[konarider]

His floor toms look like Aaron Spears custom DW kit.

[rexmuddissocool]

a serious role model for myself...

i absolutely admire benny greb.

[danielinsporto]

2:08 was the best man.

[GarytheIrishDrummer]

i saw Benny at drummerlive 2006 and he was amazing and a really nice guy too

[sachamun]

3:20 - 3:23 yeah man!

[ChrisRocks25]

it looks like a pearl its a pearl finish

[MaxBS]

Its a Sonor. Hes endorsed by sonor drums and meinl cymbals. I think its a delite. It could also be an sq2, but im sure its a sonor.

[Marc716]

YA he use Sonor drums only.

[666Difd3R]

He reminds me of thomas lang.

[Croatch]

I'd say far more musical than Lang. Greb is simply awesome, more musical than chops driven playing. He sings almost all the parts on his album..haha, just sick.

[lilmasterarj]

i love thomas lang! i felt the same way when i saw this haha

[g0o0r]

das video treibt mir jedes mal ein vergnügtes lächeln aufs gesicht, im vergleich zu den ganzen "8 year old talents" und den ganzen joey jordison double bass verschnitten -.-

[EmoMetaller]

Ja,er ist auf jeden Fall einer der besten. Aber der beste ist er für mich nicht.

[clangedern]

i saw him live in germany ... and i hav to say ... GREAT WORK BENNY ... DU BIST DER BESTE !!! ;-)

[arobdrummer]

very good drummer, works the crowd well, has exceptional groove and feel, he makes it look easy.

[ekiyamah]

king,5 stars

[tens1son]

absolute love it i'm pretty sure he plays sonor 1:12-1:20 is simply one of the best hand and foot patterns i've ever heard

[jan4pyro]

it's Sonor Designer Series, i've talked to him last year, while we eat chips^^

[ryanx84]

what kinda kit is that? - DW?

[yamazuki600]

looks like a sonor maybe....not DW, it doesn't have those ugly ass round lugs.

[ryanx84]

DW lugs are cool.. but i see what you mean.. ian4pyro ate chips with him and he says its a Sonor Designer kit.. never played one.. sounds superb though!!

[OpaCobra]

Its a Sonor Delite - 100% sure. No Sonor Designer or DW, "just" a Delite

[toyoutoyou]

reminds me to marco minneman

[toyoutoyou]

the fastest the better or the other way round, i dont know... and thats for any musician, guitarists or whatever...and for cars too..and bikes..motorbikes...and planes...airplanes...and girls!!

[SinisterSkip]

This is one of the few drummers I see that actually plays drumsolo's that are about the GROOVE and not about playing complex fills/breaks so much that you loose yourself in it.

This is what's good drumming, creating fat grooves.

[Fear1The1Spear]

1.14 was the best that was amazing technique

[Fear1The1Spear]

The first bits were the best up untill the halfway point

[threeslow]

that's a tasty monster there...

[HotSoupsy]

Benny Greb is stupid good... and really young too! I hope I'm as good as him when I'm his age... cos' that solo right there was freakin' sweet!

[Schlagzeuger1993]

2:08-2:28 its a very nico part.....benny greb is my favourite drummer!!

[blackbone88]

from a distance he looks like mathew fox

[a7xjlee]

haha i just noticed something funny they seem to clap when he fixes up his mounted tom lol

[killerkumag90]

but hey im not saying travis is nothing, man he is not bad himself... the only thing is comparing him with a real drummer was a bad idea.

[killerkumag90]

and meinl cymbal magazine commented on benny that "benny is what every drummer should be... a musician!"

because most drummers today are just concerned on how fast they called get, how many drums and cymbals they can hit in 1 second but not the musicality. And in case you guys forgot benny graduated from a conservatory of music school which means he studied music which makes him a lot better than a punk rocker. duh.

[killerkumag90]

and if ever you guys are still comparing benny from travis... if i were you, dont. hahaha why?

coz for 1 thing benny is a well rounded musician, he plays samba, jazz, rumba, pop, and different music genre. how about travis? well he just plays punk rock, whats so great about that?its not even musical, its just fast but being fast is not good enough.

[killerkumag90]

yeah yeah im sure you guys have probably saying that some drummers cant be compared to smoe drummers because of the different genre that they play, but instead take a look at the difficulty of the music that they play... Rock/punk is loud, can get complicated yes but what about samba? samba cant be played when you dont have independence or else you would be playing a simple samba.

[a7xjlee]

it gets my very anoyed when i hear people comparing two completely different drummers u cant say benny greb is shit and you cant say travis is shit there all succesfull and well known so there obviously doing somrthing right now im only 13 and i can already see this?

[scopions84]

would pwn this dude, although he is good, travis is faster

[Rockingfreakapotamus]

not even in the same league mate. Benny could do stuff that travis could never even dream of. Benny has fantastic independence, you cant say travis can play triplets with his left foot and play double on the bass drum, while playing some mad 5/4 samba shit with his hands?

thought not.

[cjcdrums]

and Benny is WAY faster than Travis =)

[scopions84]

peter erskine

[jiffytenn]

why does that guy have sticks?

Where am I?

[kevoleeg]

why is he playing with his hands ?

[eugenekim321]

that's what i'm trying to say.

i'm laughing at the guy who was bragging about travis barker.

der. =)

[Otomo]

I love how people, especially Travis Barker fans, always compare him to some other drummer. Benny Greb plays for the music. To turn everything into a pointless competition is completely immature.

As for the whole "one arm" claim, who cares. Def Leppard's drummer pioneered that shit.

[dieoachos]

awesome

[drumtarist]

i wonder why, or how, the rack tom sounds lower than the first floor tom.

[Bongoback]

Don´t think you´re right. Go to the fill @ 2:52 and you can hear it clearly.

[TrueSoldier777]

He is an octopus...but whats up with the pauses!

[killerkumag90]

ive seen a lot of benny greb drum solos and he really pauses a lot of times. well for one thing, it keeps the audience wondering of whats going to be the next beat/groove.

[TrueSoldier777]

Thx man! He uses gr8 work of those toms don't ya think?

[killerkumag90]

yeah, benny greb is like a drum hero to me haha

[electricgrapevine]

Puts emphasis on the final fill or something a lot. Also, drummers who are really musical might pause before a change to a different feel. Just continuing through could lose the flow of the entire part before it.

[drumbum167]

damn

[DFH86]

Wow, what a great sound. Wish a had a warm feeling in my drums like that. :>

[lewisn27]

he has double bass drums, two pedals one drum

[GERjohnny]

i wonder if he needs a double bass drum
