Benny Greb bag show 2009

[Tatroman23]

I love his reaction at 4:43 haha

[gatorsxx32]

I meant not know

[gatorsxx32]

I don't think Jordison fans are ignorant enough to know good drumming, Barker fans on the other hand...

[BowDownMufasa]

@yahooo8 i delieve he plays on a delite.

not 100% sure though.

[sethplate82]

@BowDownMufasa HE PLAYS ON SONOR S CLASSICS

[DrummerZful]

i wish i could learn from him

[sampyedrums]

An incredible drummer, capable of the kind of feel, versatility, technique and musicality we all aspire to. 

[superchanneljim]

This guys is so f-ing amazing. Sickest groove and style!

[wagonwagonwagonwagon]

His snare wires are so loose.



[superultimatedrummer]

Simulation

On a Sunday morning, I play my drums while thinking: "wow, I'm not bad at all!"

10 minutes later, while surfing on youtube, vids of Benny Greb are suggested

"Oh well, just another drummer again..." (click the first link)

. FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

[SoulWax2k3k]

He is like a remote control for the drumkit! O.o

[SuperRenato007]

he got the feeling!!!it´s so skilled at the same time,AMAZING FUCKING DRUMMAAAH

[lozztone]

This is probably my favorite Greb performance, he is an absolute musician with beautiful phrasing (which is never talked about when it comes to drums but it should be!).

[Moonrasor]

2 people miss clicked.

[superultimatedrummer]

It's too damn over 9000. Fav drummer (with Jojo Mayer, of course...)

[overcontrol]

GREAB JOB AHAAH

[ricardinhoDW]

Que musicalidade hein? VALEUUUUUUUUUUUU

[pinkfoot08]

en finesse.......trés bon !!!!!!!!!!!!

[DucK97430]

Yes, he became human during one sec.... 1:41 But just one sec

[DucK97430]

Yes, he became human during one sec.... 1:41

[Waxxy57]

Possibly the greatest drummer and musician ever?!

[onewayroad238]

His crash up to the left of the rack tom sounds so dirty - love it!

[virtsdnastrands]

Anytime inspiration is needed, this man delivers oh so well!

[666tommytomtom666]

1:41  - He's human!

[penguinsauce87]

@666tommytomtom666 it's really cool to see how quickly he picked up after his mistake and kept jamming though

[MrAlexdrummer]

@666tommytomtom666 0:00-1:40 and 1:42-9:45....He's not human!

[jk1802]

sweet jesus the footwork



[andrefxs]

O melhor !

[anderl22]

i cant close my mouth!! awesome!

[mood170]

che suono, che tecnica, che musicalità, un vero musicista!!!

[TPM1988]

Benny Greb doesn't need drum sticks. Drum sticks need Benny Greb!

[ryodhino]

is there only one colour for that hi hat ? because it seems that in some videos those hi hats are a lot lighter colour ?

[VitRadek]

@ryodhino Well, they're different hi-hats :D These are 14" Byzance Extra Dry and in the newer videos he has his signature 14" Byzance Sand Hat

[freud113]

SICK!

[bdysrf]

Makes Peart look and sound like an over-analytical fool.  This guy has got it.

[bussekdrummer]

wow !Benny is amazing!!!

[stekkiof92]

this is not a fucking drummer... it's a fucking DRUMMER

[takedwz]

THE GOD!!!

[Jellymann]

even Chuck Norris would be impressed

[burnthedead13]

@Jellymann benny greb invented chuck norris

[gtrocksyosocks]

He probably just sits there in his spare time, and does random stuff on his kit. Like 2:20 for example. And just those simple things make me dig him so much. Being creative is a huge step in becoming a good player.

[AdamW69612]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HH!

[dwpro19]

This dude is frickin amazing..Chris Coleman told me 2 check him out,and I sorta hear some of Bennys influence in his playing as well...Simply AMAZING

[LaughingOutKraut]

Probably the most creative solo I have ever seen.

[GipScottie631]

1:10 is just absolutely sickk

[portnoy94]

Holy Shit!

Greb is so good, ordered his DVD yesterday and im really excited

unbelievable

[NWdrums]

@2:11 how cute

[jazzmannorman]

I'm not a fan of all those '319 people got lost on their way to the Justin Bieber fan page and were confronted with real music etc' type comments, but really, who was the one person who came across this video and disliked it?

Surely to get to this page, you have to have been watching drum videos, or typed something similar into the search bar. What were they expecting? A BETTER drum video? Good luck

[drumguyrobc]

@jazzmannorman That one person was probably a Joey Jordison fan.

[metalmaster126]

@drumguyrobc I'm a Jordison fan, and I think Benny is waaaay better =p

[drumguyrobc]

@metalmaster126 Right on! I also don't hate Jordison, but you know how a lot of those fans are...

[metalmaster126]

@drumguyrobc haha, yeah, "Travis Barker is the best druma!!, Nah, Joey Jordison is way beta!" xD Personally I like Bennys Ideas, but one of my favourite drummers would have to be Thomas Lang or Ray Luzier, they're both awesome =p

[drumguyrobc]

@metalmaster126 Ray's a great drummer! I think he catches a lot of flack for playing with Korn. But I saw him with Army Of Anyone a few years ago...the guy was on fire!

[metalmaster126]

@drumguyrobc I don't think you would find a drummer that wouldn't say Ray is influential =p

[whosthatdrummer]

@drumguyrobc this made me laugh so hard!

[MyEggIsBoiled]

@drumguyrobc I can honestly say I'd have to agree.

[Hensomat]

@drumguyrobc 1 jordison and 3 barker fans....

[RuneGERPlayer]

@Hensomat

1 jordison fan, 1 lars ulrich fan und 2 barker fans :P

[akillc]

@jazzmannorman Could have been Benny himself - just to break the monotony.

[Thissbetterwork]

Buy the his DVD Language of Drumming.. You will Never regret it... its crazy how this form of human being thinks!!

[Pablotheawesomeguy]

I really love how he makes it seem like he's playing a game.

[PoeticJustice05]

I have that exact same Sonor maple 12 inch snare drum. Holy shit. That just blew my mind. I can't believe I use the same equipment (a drum at least) as Benny Greb.

[TheDeniedhopedrummer]

This is why i play sonor amazing sounding kits!

[theSWclan]

Those tom sweeps were hot until he dropped a stick!

[tehVox]

What makes Benny an amazing drummer is his ability to quit all the drumnastics for a minute and lay down the most solid groove you've ever heard.

[TheLastJrummer]

@Charlestonthedrummer Nah... I wear socks, but I still really want Speed Cat's... Always have, just never got them. They look hella cool, so I'm getting them eventually, whether they're comfortable to drum in or not.

[HendrixcommaMartin]

Benny Grebb is a drummer's drummer.

[d15er]

i love his drumming

[dvalman]

4:16! :-O  DAYUM!!!!

[morrisonmoon]

excellent it will only get better.....

[MrRingenNN]

3:13 Is where i promised myself to buy; Benny Greb: The Language of drumming"

[kingfranckribery]

@MrRingenNN i also want to buy it, but i dont know if it´s good for me cause I´m playing for only 3 years now.

[Ryan100million]

A legend in the making, in my honest opinion.

[junskey]

HES INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[cclmagic]

such a creative inspirational solo, Benny is, in my opinion, one of the greatest musicians of our time.

[Madvillian01]

i want to experiment...

and put Haake and Greb together for a drum jam, it would be interesting

[mikzu92]

1:09 genius

[euphoricanomaly]

Polyrhythmic madness, highly entertaining :)

[jaydoode15]

man, so many dynamics it's amazing... love watching him play the drums... very inspiring!

[Spencer094]

GOD DAMN IT WHY THE HELL DID THE CAMERA MAN HAVE TO ZOOM IN ON HIS FACE AT 9:15

[matiia]

Benny Greb IS a Machine, but he's ALSO a Musician, but more than both of those, he appears to be a damn Genius!

[kevnak717]

he uses a chair as a laptop stand lol.

[dontjuhu]

loosing his drumstick makes him so sympatic :D now i know i'm not alone xD it makes so much fun watching him play drums!!

[Brinemusic]

Love watching him drum!

[zachophe]

Never seen this guy before, but like halfway through this he sounds like a whole drum circle.

[AO8fan]

oneof the most talented drummers out there . wait .. one of the most talented musicians .

[dann123124]

Benny Greb isn't a machine! He is a musican !

[freakdrummer666]

@dann123124 Benny Greb isn´t a musician. He´s a drummer!

[Thissbetterwork]

@freakdrummer666 No he is more than just a drummer kid. He doesnt just bang the first thing that comes to his head he knows everything he is doing and does it on purpose. He has dynamics and knows how to make music and has musical abilities beyond the drums. He is a musician sir.

[freakdrummer666]

@Thissbetterwork That wasn´t meant as a insult, I just refered to this old joke that drummers aren´t musicians. I´m knowing very well that he´s very musically...also I really like his way to play and since I saw him the first time a few years ago, he´s one of my most fav drummers :)

[Thissbetterwork]

@freakdrummer666 yeah i didnt take it as an insult but dude he is my favorite drummer and I know his drumming is so much deeper than everyone thinks so thats why i said that b/c he is an amazing musician..

[Marcushajo]

@dann123124 Don't you mean: "What is that? A machine? A drummer?" "No! It's Benny Greb!"

[mrxten]

very nice

[dmy986]

1:10 omg, nice!

[loho174]

benny converted me from a person to hits stuff to a drummer

[TheLastJrummer]

I notice a lot of drummers wear Puma Speed Cats. Are they good shoes for drumming, or do they just all happen to wear them because they're awesome? I've wanted some for quite some time now for the awesome factor, but if they're good to drum in, I'm all for that. I usually play in socks as it is, but only because my current shoes aren't very comfortable to drum in. I'm not partial to either. Another common shoe I've noticed on drummers is the Adidas Superstar 2.

[TheLastJrummer]

@TheLastJrummer Also, I know a lot of you will say "whatever shoe feels right for you is whats good" but I mean i generally, I guess. Or if theres a characteristic of it that would make it "ideal" for drumming.

[loho174]

@TheLastJrummer i;ve tried drumming in all shoes..i'll just tell you how they felt-puma speed cats-almost lke yr barefoot,just with more power and grip.TREKKING SHOES-super power but you cant even feel the pedal.running shoes-really fast but cant feel much.vans-loose...those nike sneakers-feel real groovy.sprint/wrestling shoes-like wearing a glove.socks-too slippery for me

[LzRantz]

I've heard 1:13-1:16 in Donnie Marple Solo @ the 07 guitar center drumoff...wat is that?

[sk8forfun1996]

Jojo Mayer and Benny Greb are my favorite drummer !!!

[MaxmokeCro]

@sk8forfun1996 they are my favourite drummers because they can pass their knowledge on others very effective,i totaly agree with their thoughts about drumms and of course they prooved that they are best with their dvds which are best dvds for drummer in the world believe me,they are complete drummers and musicians.

[RedeyeSPR]

EVIL!!! How can you fade out after all that...

[CJ0121]

He makes Music with the drums, and Dose it so well 

[timemachinedrummer]

o.o

[BoaZosen]

i think this is one of the first times i've seen a youtube vid without any "dislikes"

Benny IS the best :D

[ggill1970]

complete artist AND technician. beautiful stuff.

[harryormemusic]

I love the way he recovers from the drop with a quick bit of traditional.

[mapexdrums]

great like always, one of the best of today

[ReAnimatedPercussion]

5:58

[ReAnimatedPercussion]

Drums are Beautiful man

[biffbiffton]

goddammit, he is just so good. it's ridiculous.

[Rockunstank]

love his style!

[OlliDrummer]

Does anyone know what cowbell Benny uses?

[ananinamigariyaw2]

this is the fucking real SALSA ! fucking awsome!!

[tindrum]

benny other than being a super nice guy has humor in his playing, a nice looseness, its real, it seems (almost) attainable plus he does have a wicked groove going on.

[GovernorGorilla]

@tindrum Right on brother, right on.

[mimo2527]

see...i always wonder if he rehearsed it be4 he took on stage or is it all improvised..either way, benny greb i like the most. gadd, lang, mayer, they're all fantastic drummer, i dunno..it's just the way benny play that got me hooked...

[OlTownDrumClinic]

@mimo2527 alot of it is rehearsed for clinics and such but each time they play it there are a few different changes if they feel like it but like when benny drops a stick or a cymbal falls at gigs all he does is make it work its what makes him him

[Drummerwalter]

this is so sexy love this groves

[ReThord]

The thing with Benny is that he´s a "groove" drummer with a lot of technique. He also changes around his beats a lot(with cool ideas) to make it interesting. He´s also not afraid to make mistakes and do crazy humorous stuff.

[inimicalODDITY]

Benny is a perfect example of the ability to squeeze every bit of sound out of his kit, something more drummers should do. He doesn't need 20 toms and 50 cymbals. That in itself is an inspiration.

[RVanAs]

@inimicalODDITY Indeeeeed! A long time ago (when I was like 10 years old or so) I dreamed about having a kit as big as a small continent, nowadays I seem to like it when its like small, smaller, smallest : )

It is all about HOW you play it!

[theSWclan]

@RVanAs tell that to the drum channel

[morpheusdrummer]

Dont no about that.. Havent seen him live yet.. But man is he Groovin!!!

[f2theorrest]

the thing i like about Benny is that his grooves are fun to listen to, its one thing to have a drummer that just grooves and a drummer that you like when he just grooves.

usually i get bored with just pocket drummers but i love all his playing

[f2theorrest]

@f2theorrest and in no way did i mean he is just a pocket drummer.

[Drumboy5165]

Man I love this guys grooves...............nice save on the stick drop too!!

[elcucuy138]

1:48 - 1:51 OMG!!, i'm still trying to figure that out!!!

[mykicksarebetter]

@elcucuy138 seriously eh, what the frig is up with that. friggin, fricked.

[TOTALITARIO999]

JOJO MAYER!

[angelmanuelvilar]

Lots of talent and lots of practice

[Str8Faced]

this is just absolutely amazing. He's easily one of the greatest drummers ever.

[sexypoulpe]

Awesome drummer + awesome sounding kit = awesomeness

[mopedman1]

I love the way he doesnt have a 50 piece setup but he makes as many different sounds as one! Just shows how creativity and groove are superior to just showing off immense chops. Chops have their place though i will never deny that!

[sundimond9252]

3:13 - 4:16 I remember i thought of thats lick with my feet before I even knew about this guy. I also remember showing it to my uncle who also drums and he said "I didn't know your feet could move that fast.

[now5230]

pure talent

[ironcobra8]

those snares sound so DELITEful....the black one has such FORCE.

[lewisniven]

@ironcobra8 I see what you did there.

[DrummerPGR]

is there another part to this?

[evilhubert]

among all them very good drummers, there is something about his ways that makes him unique, I cant name it tho. BIG FAN BENNY!

[cabose34521]

Benny is one of my all time favorites!!

[drumrnva]

Sick.

[jmr2master]

Benny and Jojo are both great. Choosing one drummer to imitate will only limit your playing ability in the long run. Strive to be great rather then a shadow!!

[thehuddy123]

He makes it look so easy! such an amazing drummer. i love how he experiments with the kit like no one else.

[biffbiffton]

SO GOOD

[gmanjones312]

Benny Greb, Jojo Mayer, Johnny Rabb all in a Drum Jam!! that would be so sick!

[f2theorrest]

@gmanjones312 dude that would would be sick!!! johny rabb and jojo might sound similar tho

[timmotjo17]

Awesome, he drops his stick and goes on just not caring =D

[DrummaAddict]

Benny Groove.

[juangiordana]

@DrummaAddict: Benny Groove, you've said it :)

[spacitydrummer4JC]

I don't know about you guys, but I'd take Benny over Jojo.

[fharids]

i think benny have more catchy grooves, but jojo has a better technique

[morpheusdrummer]

@spacitydrummer4JC I Think they are both good in there own ways..

Bennys just a fucking groovin machine!!

[BlackHawk2029]

@spacitydrummer4JC For me, they're both absolutely wonderful in their own ways. even in talent/technical abilities i'd say. but benny's got styyyyyyyyle.

[TheBakersPeevy]

@BlackHawk2029 I agree man! i think benny knows the sound of every inch of each drum... he can play the snare in ways i never dreamt of

[BlackHawk2029]

@TheBakersPeevy Abosolutely. That's no downplay on jojo though. jojo is still a beast. That man can do things in traditional group that most people can't do with matched.

[PotSmokingPunkDude]

@BlackHawk2029 There's really not much of a difference between matched and traditional grip. I don't know why you find traditional harder. Some people find it more natural.

[mrTooKanSam]

@spacitydrummer4JC I say they're the same, Jojo has better technique Imho.

[rageta1]

@spacitydrummer4JC

ive spent months trying to decide who pushs through for top spot on my wall but they both cant make me any happier so i cant really say yes to that, cause they both make chub.

[333tanx]

@spacitydrummer4JC . . .would love to see that battle, both benny and jojo are in my top 5 favourite drummers .

[arobdrummer]

@spacitydrummer4JC good thing we live in a world with both

[GretschDrummer000]

@spacitydrummer4JC Without a doubt! No question about it!
