Due to lack of technique and creativity. Most of them. A few of them are outstanding musicians like you would find in any genre like jazz, fusion or funk. But a good portion of them are mere blast-beating, double-kicking, speed-obsessed caveman.

That's fairly elitist - and disagreeable. Not that I don't get the sentiment - but even amongst 'caveman' techniques like mere blast beating and double kicking, there is art and depth to be found. Without a doubt not as much as the traditional genres, no need to shit on it though.

He often plays Sonor. My first "serious" kit was a DW Custom, but because of Benny and others (such as Chris Coleman, etc), I am definitely considering an SQ1/2 now. I can't think of a video in which I disliked the sound of those drums - and yes, there are DW videos I'm not as impressed with. I don't own a Sonor right now, so I'm far from a fan-boi. I'm just saying the sound of their high-end gear (re. Benny) is where I'm at these days...

It's a demonstration of a tuning trick where the the 3 lugs closest to you are left loose while the rest of the lugs are tightened high. The result is by tuning the 3 loose lugs you can easily change from a fat low end sound to a high pitched funk sound very quickly. There's a few videos about it out there.

Benny and Chris Coleman are a lot alike, in that you can see & hear them enjoying what they're doing. Their personality shines through in whatever they play...

I had the good fortune to see Benny play live at a drum clinic a few years ago. Pure magic! I got to meet him and talk to him for a few minutes after the clinic, and he was very modest, very nice guy as well as one of the very best drummers alive. One of the most musical drummers of all time.

I don't think a drum solo has made me smile more than that one right there.

The only way I know how to describe this is otherworldly. Benny Greb is in a class of his own. I normally can't sit through a near 14 minute drum solo... but this man is so musical, so creative, and so obviously in love with what he is doing, that you can't help but keep listening and watching. Cheers to Benny, and to Vic Firth for snagging him!

I swear by it. I've seen every seen every possible drum solo on KZread. This is far and away my personal favorite.

Okay, this is one of the greatest performances I've ever seen.

He's one of the few musicians I'll stop whatever I'm doing to watch.

Benny is such a talented musician, but definitely knows how to have fun at the same time. He seems like a person who would be making jokes all night long.

There was that thing, when our English teacher asked him: "Benny, how many E's are in the word FREEZE?" And Benny answered: "Two." Teacher: "No!!!" And Benny confidently said: "Okay. Just one. Only wanted to muck around." 🙈🙈🙈🤣

Watching Benny Greb playing freely is so overwhelming and amusing at the same time! Such a sun. :)

Nine months later, a kid drum set was born. Also, this performance reminds me of Papa Jo Jones. The facial expressions, the joy.

Hands down the most imaginative, entertaining and musical drum solo I've ever seen. I'd be so jazzed after actually seeing that in person!

Love how he played the double-kick samba ostinato from his first DVD. Almost like he put in a classic for the set.

He had shocked me at least 5 times in this one solo WOW creativity

hands down my favorite drummer of all time proud to share the first name ;)

In cooking we call this a beautiful deconstruction. Awesome.

I like your style for searching new tectonics on a standard drum kit while never loosing groove. GGROOOOOVVVEEEEEEE!

That has to be one of the best drum solo in the whole universe.

Man this cat is so musical . I can’t remember when a drummer who was soloing held my attention this long .

One of the most compelling, innovative and skillful solos I've seen here to date. Full of humor, suspense and soul!! BRAVO, Benny. You've taken it to the next level!!

Hands down the most creative drummer I've ever heard play.

I don´t know how that its possible, maybe you, Ben, arrived here form other planet you did the best solo on drums and for me you give other meaning to the drums. You are an idol for me and you give me inspiration for continuing study and playing th drums. Ty for every lesson and every time you play. You are one of the best drummer on the world and you write your name on the drums world for ever.

A drum solo that makes the audience (and performer) laugh in the middle of it, @ 5:10...Benny is one of a kind.

Sometimes i come back to hear this vid AGAIN and i end up always like: "HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLYYYYYYYYYY STIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICKS!" Benny

This guy... Greb's me every time

Benny truly understands drumming. He´s a god!

One of the best solos I've seen over the years!

there's a lot to expect from Benny now & in the future, he will redefine drumming. And he grooves!

this guy is never bored. amazing!

My pleasure to give you a LIKE. Amazing drummer!

One amazing exhibition of drumming. Benny Greb is a master.

One of the best drummers in the world today! Drums sound amazing as well. 😎😎👍

The Master and the Mics.

Like Jeff Hamilton once said, "There are drummers who play drums, and there are musicians that play drums". Benny Greb's musicality is amazing!

Everything of Benny is just pure gold...but that SNARE, pure heaven

Wow! just like an African drum with so much tone and sound... way to go Benny!

Benny Grebb.. Dankeschön. Deshalb gehe ich und sitze und übe A-Z und nutze mein Kopf um Gefühle und Gedanken und Unabhängigkeit während ich spiele zu weiter zu entwickeln. Du machst die ganze Schlagzeug Welt ein besser Platz heute. Inspirational solo dude!!! :)

You can get a really rich, deep booming thud from a 16" floor tom if you put an Evans EMAD bass drum head on it. use the smaller of the two damping rings supplied and away you go. Of course it will also need a new resonant head - a G1 is probably the best idea, but you could try a G2. I put a little fluffy toy in mine and it has the same effect as cotton balls, but with added wackiness. Mine is a rabbit, but that's just because I found it lying around. You could use any small very fluffy toy. P.S. While you're changing your heads, make sure the bearing edges are super-smooth. If they feel at all rough, then lightly smooth them down with some extra-fine sandpaper - like emery paper - and rub some candle-wax into them. Do all this and your floor tom will sound like a monster!

This is pure beauty on drums... Gold

wonderful drummer....sensible drummer in this fragile world!!!!!

Legendary performance

this is the best drum solo I've ever seen. I mean it.

Benny Greg is a true innovator and artist

I love his orchestration... Literally can make so many different "instruments" with just one instrument... This separates musicians from drummers

Benny has been a huge influence on my playing and philosophy towards Music and drums- I love the 1/2note splashed HH to start things out- how he builds into things-- just amazing playing all around!!!

watched multiple times but still "Goose bumps ".

No words can say what Benny plays.......... WoW!!!

His Vic Firth signature sticks are the best! Highly recommended!

Dear Benny, I was just introduced to your drumming yesterday. I've benn drumming for more than 20 years now. Must say your drumming is refreshing and the kind of atitude drumming needs. Reverb on the bass drum: TOP. Been bateling for that for years with technitians and I'm joked about it... Impressive, good vide and creativity. I love Antonio Sanches drumming, but I give you the best drum solo till this day, the more interesting to listen and combinig several stiles. You made me like double bass something verry rare... Abraço from Portugal!

Great Drummusic!! Great performance!! Congratulations...

He's just so damn fun.

Perhaps the best drum solo ever performed

Drummers gotta love Greb's quiet virtuosity.

I'm watching this and i'm laughing so hard at how insanely good and talented this man is.

Er ist einer meiner Favoriten , weil er sich auch von seiner Spielweise sehr stark von vielen anderen "Spitzendrummern" unterscheidet. Und, egal was er spielt, man fühlt immer den Puls!!!
