Last but not least, here is Benny Greb's full-length 15min drumsolo which he played at our 2012 Meinl Drum Festival as part of the DRIO performance.
I recommend that you use good headphones or a high-quality speaker system to enjoy this clip in order to capture the full dynamic range and fine nuances of Benny's amazing drumming.
Benny's cymbal specs are (from left to right):
Byzance Vintage 14" Sand Hat
Byzance Vintage 18" Sand Thin Crash
Byzance Vintage 20" Sand ride
Generation-X 12"/14" Trash Hat
Byzance Vintage 18" Sand Medium Crash
Byzance Vintage 22" Sand Crash Ride
Enjoy!

I have heard people call Benny Greb gimmicky when he does the obscure stuff he does, and I disagree with those people. Greb is the only drummer with such a passion for making good noise (not just about the technicality or simply hitting a good conventional groove (even though he's great at those too)), something more drummers need to learn to love

@iBaraban 10 лет назад

Yes, its not about showing how much you can do. I think they go out there and they show you the very sanctuary of their drumming life. Its a very intimate experience because he shows you how he really feels about his instrument and drumming in general. And i think its much better than watching a guy playing super-fast para-diddles and 32 note triplets on toms with double bass rolls all over. Its same old shit nobody cares about that anymore.

@liamchaytor6341 10 лет назад

Are you thick? "only drummer with such a passion for making good noise" well that's your opinion on good noise, I would much rather go listen to JP Bouvets than this, I don't like this "Noise" you're talking about, JP has his matching passion for his "noise", never say only one drummer or person has passion in something, none of the performers would have been there if they didn't dude!

@jacktheripper5617 10 лет назад

Liam Chaytor I listen in it's entirety every solo I stumble upon of Benny Greb, just cause I like listening to it, most drummers solo irritate me after 3 minutes buddy rich style lol XD, JP bouvet is fucking annoying to listen to WTF is that, Zack is right, Greb learns to listen and most importantly love what he's playing. If he likes it, you probly will, and it seems only Greb and a few listen to that.

@liamchaytor6341 10 лет назад

You don't like my favourite drummer, I don't like yours, so stop bitching?

@jacktheripper5617 10 лет назад

Liam Chaytor lol do you have anything to say or are you just bitching? Ironically saying that's what we do, we got arguments, you got... bitching good job lol you can't argue worth a shit.

@BlastbeateR1 10 лет назад

this guy doesn't just solo, he composes. ridiculously good drummer!

@chriswhittaker3414 10 лет назад

12:09 - drops stick 12:13 - amazing snare shot this is incredible!! The dynamics are awesome!!

@BLASCKDUSK 10 лет назад

like 12 seconds before also drops stick but 0 fucks are given

@Brucelee8bjork 10 лет назад

I watch this at least once a week. Its usually when I have a rough day or when my spirits are low, but tonight i decided to not watch Benny play but instead closed my eyes and LISTEN to Benny play. It is literally completely different experience. I realized that with my eyes I focused so much on how Benny is playing rather than what Benny is actually playing/saying. Try it! seriously close your eyes or close your laptops. From beginning to end just listen. Dont peak. Benny is quite a storyteller

@Sundaydrumday Год назад

GREAT COMMENT, AND WOW WERE YOU RIGHT.....BLOWN AWAY.....

@Jackbee23 11 лет назад

I always worry people can't appreciate how good he is

@aaroncastrillon3681 8 лет назад

I just heard about this guy like two days ago and he's easily in my top three drummers. That's how good this guy is

@nathanjames4242 10 лет назад

Yep, one of my favorite drum solos of all time. mostly because it includes actual beats! and rhythms!

@PiwaiGee 5 лет назад

Most tasteful use of dynamics out there, too. Guy is simply graceful

@davebander9730 5 лет назад

Never seen before. My top 5 drum solos! Benny is awsome.

@kevinjones616 10 лет назад

thankful for the lesson .this is a beautiful world when you can wake up in the morning and turn on your phone and receive this type of experience .

@davidkirby6242 9 лет назад

Benny Grebb is the Pro drummer's drummer... Hands down the best guy out there at the mo...

@rknisple 10 лет назад

This is my favorite drum solo ever. No joke.

@jackpierre3 10 лет назад

Absolutely beautiful, I wish I had his kit.

@NishantHagjer 11 лет назад

Learning from this guy was probably the best thing that happened in my life, it does not only make you improve in drums or music, but his methods also changes you as a person. Its a must for any musician to learn from the Benny Greb. He can change lives.

@Tekkerue 10 лет назад

I'm afraid to think of what would happen if Benny Greb and Jojo Mayer did a drum duet together...I don't believe the universe would be able to contain that much awesomeness!

@freakingbrandon7745 10 лет назад

A black whole would be created

@MadhusudanRaman 10 лет назад

@BenKazenoff 11 лет назад

this guy has the BEST FEEL IVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE

@cowboi459 10 лет назад

I wish i were you, Benny! You're the best drummer in the world!

@JosephFrye85 11 лет назад

Yeah, if there was ever one percussionist I could study under... I like how there almost appears to be a "just go with it" vibe to some of his solo's. Takes confidence for sure,one of the main reasons I keep checking his performances out.

@JTdrums1 11 лет назад

Uncontested greatest musician in the world right now... Complete person as well. Benny Greb has for sure changed my approach to music and expression. Thanks Benny and Thanks for posting this great quality VID!!!

@WumboDaniel 11 лет назад

A lot of drummers never disappoint, but Mr. Greb always blows my mind.

@KCYON 11 лет назад

Absolutely breathtaking. Now that is what you call a DRUM SOLO. Benny Greb, you are a genius behind the kit my friend.

@lowlymusic 11 лет назад

there is no such thing as a "best drummer in the world" there IS such a thing as "favorite drummer in the world

@charlesjoneswomelsdorf840 9 лет назад

i learned a lot just by watching this he is a great person to watch him be this creative can inspire others to be more creative on a drum kit or what ever is your instrument

@crunchm4n 11 лет назад

Benny's best yet in my opinion. An amazing display of dynamics (among time, groove, etc of course) on the drumset.

@mathewshaw2772 11 лет назад

Greb is the best man..always makes his solos interesting..love it..met him at a drum show in birmingham..lovely fella..

@nuclearbox2 8 лет назад

I've watched this probably 150 times at least now. The Steve gadd inspired musicality starting at 6:00 is perfect. And the entire piece just has a great balance of structure and free-form. Phenomenal drumming

@SERCHSOS3722 11 лет назад

Creativity, groove and musicality are the most important things that a drummer must have.

@BigRickLil1972 11 лет назад

The transition to another rhythm at 4:35, sweet and then from that to the licks in that rythm...amazing

11 лет назад

I'm watching this over and over again and I'm getting more and more amazed... And Beny has been my favourite drummer for two and a half years now..

@djschrum 11 лет назад

I love it when drummers sound like this.

@garbobbage 11 лет назад

This is absolutely masterful. stick control, technique, tonality, poly rhythms, etc etc etc. This guy PLAYS the instruments of the kit, he doesn't bludgeon them. This is a drummer.

@Jivi 11 лет назад

Wow, I think this solo embodies most of the elements from Benny's history of drum solos. It contains some new and old grooves with his magic touch of expression and flow. 15 minutes of what makes Benny truly awesome!

@julianmartinez2130 4 года назад

Who’s here in 2020? good ol benny days, fit is fire af

@DicksonRichie 11 лет назад

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss! Musical drumming at its best. technique speed chops but taste comes first. This is a wonderful example of how amazing drums can be. Thank you

@darkmatterenergyfull 11 лет назад

@stephenutterback5885 11 лет назад

Rivers are flowing from this man's hands and feet. He's got flow and smoothness for weeks.

@TheNadaladaDOTnet 11 лет назад

Benny does all drummers proud by showing the instrument is truly musical and not just a tool for bashing. Great solo with tons of musicality.

His drums just sound so perfect! Amazing groove, feel, and knowledge about his craft! Definitely one my all time favorites!

@drumandball 11 лет назад

He is Incredible. It is like he turns the kit into a different instrument. So unique!

@GeorgeBennett92 11 лет назад

Always a pleasure to watch a true master at work.

@MattTonn 11 лет назад

Absolutely unreal. One of the most inspirational and influential drummers for me, personally. He brings the groove, the creativity, the musicality, and the chops all in one solo. It just blows my mind. I also own one of his signature cymbals (the 22inch crash-ride) and hope to get the others. Everything just sounds so good! Thank you for playing drums the way you do, Benny!

@asimale1104 6 лет назад

His drummings always tasteful and fun. This is new level of drumming. loved it as always..

Love watching this guy play every time, puts his personality into his playing an his improv is so slick

@Drumgirl4God1 11 лет назад

One of the most amazing drum solos I have ever seen! Could be the most amazing!

@jaydoode15 11 лет назад

his solo style has changed a lot since 2005, he used to play so much faster, with more drums and more pedals. Now he puts more emphasis on groove ideas, and dynamics, his set-up is also much smaller. Great drummer, one of my all time favorites, such an inspiration.

@dcassisa42 11 лет назад

do you no how hard it is to play and entertain a large group of people just with drums 15 minutes straight.. in my opinion the best true drummer I've seen.. chris coleman very close behind

@andypalmieri2800 3 года назад

Bennys absolutely one of my top 10 players of all time so creative sensitive and what a beautiful mind

@MrChrisbair 11 лет назад

Amazing, I love how he doesn't just hit random stuff for no reason. He does everything with purpose. So musical

@officialMainspring 11 лет назад

Benny is so inspiring and discouraging all at the same time... inspires you practice more but at the same time knowing you'll never get to his level... my gawd... those chops... tasty doesn't even describe it...

@thewsca 11 лет назад

Wow, this guy's incredible. sublime. This solo has everything.

@brucethedrummer 11 лет назад

@dieoachos 11 лет назад

Groove+Imagination+technique+sound in their perfect level=BENNY GREB, The most complete drummer.

@rut300 11 лет назад

officially the best drum solo in the world

@JacobChatelain 11 лет назад

This video literally brought me to tears. Probably cause I couldn't take my eyes off this and didn't blink for like 7 minutes. Still, Benny Greb is one of my favorite musicians. He inspires me and my playing a lot. Thank you!

@TheScooterDeity 11 лет назад

Is it just me or is Benny Greb better than ever? Wow. This guy has such good taste

@MrDirtysticks 11 лет назад

That was some of the best drumming I have ever seen! Musicality and creativity... amazing groove and feel! More than just chops!

@DustyCowdog 11 лет назад

I've never had the pleasure of that dude playing before... Outstanding and amazing doesn't come close.

@4GabeArellano 11 лет назад

Always in the pocket, plays a little more with his arms but still has such fine finess, this drummer is prime, if he hits something, he means to hit it, no slop, so much passion and feel...in my opinion, this is what qualifies a person as a great drummer. Literally just found out of Benny Greb 5 minutes ago and he's already made a big impression on me. Kick ass video

@chasedrums8500 10 лет назад

One day baby one day...this is amazing!

@jesusfrk70 11 лет назад

I think this by far is one of the best solos out there this guy is amazing

@makaumutuku2266 11 лет назад

Inspirational and dynamic drumming. Spectacular. Kudos!

@apieceofdirt4681 2 года назад

Sonor drums are probably one of the most expensive drum brands yet he’s perfectly fine with banging the rims together because he doesn’t have to pay for his kits; Sonor sponsors him and the savings get passed on to us struggling musicians. This guys killer!!

@WalterBondioli 11 лет назад

Fantastic! Like always! Congratulations to all Meinl Staff for this incredible Festival!

@butuh13 11 лет назад

I really love a lot about this guys playing, especially the way he uses his cymbals. The double kick stuff I could do without. But his brush technique is really nice and the part just after playing with his hands where he changes gears from the side stick to a medium tempo rock backbeat just kills me. I like watching him come up with ideas as he's playing like that. But a 14 minute drum solo is still a bit of a freak show.
