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!).
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
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!
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.
@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.
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.
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.
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.
@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.
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
@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 :)
