Benny Greb's solo is probably one of the tastiest things I've ever heard in my life.

Thomas Pridgen deserves a lot of respect. Thank you for being yourself Thomas and motivating me to be much better.

Benny Greb absolutely crushed that, he told a story

I keep being impressed by Simon's way of playing like it looks like 100% impossible AND a piece of cake at the same time.

definitely something to appreciate in all of these men’s solo’s.

Is it just me or are Sonor Drums the best sounding drums ever made? Everytime I listen to a set of Sonor's I'm blown away by the sound. Lots of amazing sounding drum sets out there but Sonor's to me are amazing.

1. Yes they are the best sounding ever made 2. Don’t confuse a professionals touch and tuning and another professionals sound engineering for how a drum will actually sound when you purchase it

simon is not only soloing hes playing along with some killer jazz musicians and keeping in time with them as much as they're playing along with him. a solo is one thing but what simon is doing goes beyond its pretty amazing.

We are blessed to live in a time with all 3 of these guys. Don't waste your time trying to find out who is better. I wish I knew what they have forgotten about drumming.

OK....Thomas Pridgen is officially one of my favorite drummers......I mean ALL-TIME. That guy was awesome, and has incredible speed very unique technique. OK, Benny Greb is the most unique drummer I have ever seen. Awesome stuff from that guy for sure.

Simon all the way. Playing with a band even. Respecting his band, on time, musicality,.. Total beast!

Thomas Pridgen is the exact reason why I want to play big cymbals with a 6pc Drum Kit Configuration. Gotta love this man! He's a damn beast! :)

Haha! People are arguing here who was the best. It wasn't the point. All of these are great drummers, and they put original effort in their own solo. I enjoyed. So different, still so good.

With Thomas, you always know what you're going to hear.

I love all three of these drummers. Simon Phillips the master of dynamics. No one makes a groove feel so right like Benny Greb. Thomas Pridgen takes some pretty basic chops and blows your mind with them.

Benny ist einfach der größte! Wie er wirklich jede klang Fasete aus seinem Schlagzeug raus holt ist grandios. Und seine Dynamik ist von einem anderen Stern, einfach grandios!

I'll preface my comment by saying that I wish I could play like any of the three of them, but for raw, chaotic excitement, my vote contrasts with the majority and goes to Thomas Pridgen. Simon Phillips stands out for his amazing accuracy and catching all the accents, but Thomas, for me, just kills it! Articulate chaos, I might call it.

Always loved Simon, always will but in this shoot-out it's Benny for me! What a tastefull display of skill and musicality.. Totally love it!

Simon Phillips is so musical and adaptable. Chops off the charts.

great compilation, thanks for sharing!

Much respect for all three as they all masters. Benny get my vote for most impressive. Wow!

Pridgen is giving the reason why non-drummers roll their eyes about Drum Solos. And i understand it.

What’s funny is that the Benny Greb clip cuts just before it’s about to really pick up. I’ve watched that full video a hundred times and the second half is absolutely mind blowing

Awesome solos, and great sound recording !🥁

Simmons has great rhythm. He is one of my favorites.

Bennie really following in Vinnie's footsteps with the musicality. So entertaining to watch and most of all to listen too. Such a beautiful musical approach.

Simonds so good outrageous drumming

Simon, hands down in this one. He’s a much better technical drummer than the competition. It really wasn’t even competition in my humble opinion.

Simon Is Magic+Tama STAR!!! Nr1!!! he play music.

Mr Simon Phillips. Spectacular

Benny Greb. Beautiful sounds/drums cymbals and mind. What a great moment!

The Simon Phillips kit.... Its an orchestra by itself.

All of these drummers are proficient and at the top of their game. This is a solo and one may be more creative than the other at the time. They all have incredible chops, especially Thomas, but each brings a different style and unique form of playing and creativity. Obviously Simon is the master at open handed playing, and Thomas brings speed and precision. But Benny is a monster at creating some spectacular sounds and grooves with both hands and sticks. Thanks for the post...

Pridgen is absolutely phenomenal here! Such clarity, excellent development of motif....

Benny greb is seriously the most creative tasteful drummer planet Earth

All amazing...but the last guy got me...I like that different style of him.

Simmon...the best!!....a modernidade está acabando com o brilho do som dos tambores....só se vê velocidade de notas em sextinas em disputa de quem é mais rápido e trapezista. Circo é uma coisa, música é outra. Música toca a alma e mexe com sentimentos. Simmon é da épica da melhor música do planeta. Anos 70 e 80...tiro o meu chapéu para vc S Philips...God Bless

The last drummer is just insane..lots of creativity, technique Wowwwwwww......!!!

Simon Philips such a gentleman drummer.. i love this guy

Phillips, for me the greatest ever. Especially his solo work with protocol Live you get an evening of fantastic drumming

Simon thats the best drum solo i ever seen and heard.

Benny.... posso solo dire: eccezionale! Benny.... i can only say: awesome!

É de semicolcheia pra cima ! Monstro !

Why are they showing a very old Simon Phillips solo,not one of his best solos for sure. There’s dozens of SP solos on here that blow both guys out the water although Benny is brilliant Simon at his best is mind boggling!!!

so dope thanks Rob!

Honesty is best, right!! Well I used to think bad names watching Prig. I was jealous. Now learning. 😎

Benny all day...any day...every day. Hands down.

Benny all the way. Best musicality and conceptual brilliant.

Simon is an absolute monster and Benny is just the tastiest drummer alive. Im an absolute Phillips fan but Greb wins this one

After 50 years of playing, I’m officially over solos of any kind.

I bet if Thomas put a Turtle Neck Sweater on it would revolutionize his solos.

Benny oozes artistry...love it!

I liked Pridgen a whole lot - he played hard and w/ technique, too many drummers get cute when we want to hear DRUMMING!!!

Those three drummers are just fantastic......

Benny Greb plays in the style of a Salsa Timbalero with some conga riffs with his hands on the drums. Baaaaad man.

Benny Greb, this is unbelievable good

Excellent!

wow! Simon Phillips was amazing

I am not a huge fan of drum solos but when they are played like this you just have to admire the technique. Thomas Pridgen has some tasty chops. Some drummers even those with a huge level of talent can sometimes dial in a drum solo live but none of that here.

I love Simons open-handed playing style.

Damn Simon's getting wiser. Whooo all that grey hair..

en mi banda queda contratado...que animal thomas toca la bata como yo corto el pasto...geniooo

Thomas' solo just sounds like the end of a big rock song to close out the show.

Used to have a Benny Greb signature sonor snare...Wish I still have it.

Brilliance

Benny reminds me of Peter Erskine in that both have a mind-boggling mastery of the modern drum kit.

Thomas' solo would be a good time to get a beer or use the restroom!!!

Thomas pridgen is the best in the West

It's all in the silver shoes!!

Who do people think they are criticizing thomas pridgen's drum solo? lol. Dude is a legend and a prodigy. Dedicated more of his life to the art than anyone here with the negative remarks. Bet they haven't even heard the excerpt from this same DVD where he shreds with accompaniment. A true percussionist would never bash thomas pridgen's solo from this DVD. As soon as you hate on thomas pridgen in this video, your opinion as a percussionist should never again be valid (in my opinion) ;)

the king of arm-speed and all-around phenomenal ripping drummer Graham Lear is NOT in Drummerworld, but Pridgeon IS? (give me a m*ther-fu*kin' BREAK !! AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Benny Greb is my spirit animal. Stud...

Not a huge fan of Thomas Pridgen, but the dudes foot work is amazing. That damn Benny Grab is very nice.

Imagine Thomas Pridgeon playing a slow blues tune/groove. I can't either.

Have you heard the word 'cacophony?' That describes Pridgen's solo to a T.. The man needs to find his soul

Hands down; Simon has this one.
