My favorite moment was between 2:52-2:56 when Benny realizes he wasn't as clean as he usually is and he laughs, letting us all know he is indeed human, and not a cybernetic groove machine from the future.

[@DaLoveDonkey69420]

I love that part, his smile and laugh ahahah

[@davidag90]

It's funny because he missed something not that difficult to do (at least in comparison with the things he was doing before hahaa), but I guess the hard part just before it compromised his solidity a bit. Anyway, it's also a lesson on how you have to take live mistakes: just keep playin' bro! Great things lie ahead 😊

[@Six3rdy]

That's real. And we the regular schmegular drummy bois did unironically need to know this. I appreciate that.

[@tlucario14]

Is it even legal to have so much groove in such a small amount of time?

[@francescofanizzi334]

I think not ahah

[@Zachary_Sweis]

It should be. It's too good.

[@alekrodimidecu4625]

Legal or not, they can't stop him.

[@ianminogue942]

disgusting is what it is!

[@scottfaria2028]

And with really not that big of a set!

[@isaachughes8130]

Now we know what Benny Greb hears in his head when he plays drums.

[@praise_asalikeze]

What does he hear

[@praise_asalikeze]

???

[@muhamadrobby694]

@@praise_asalikeze tututuruturuu

[@EdiDrums]

Fruity loops?

[@Cutzrec]

@@praise_asalikeze The fact that the voices are benny greb actually makes this coment so funny jasjdjasdj

[@aaroncrepeau3296]

Absolutely one of my favorite drummers of all time. Not only is he an incredible drummer but he is also a true entertainer. He involves the crowd when he performs live and has a great sense of humor. I highly encourage anybody that can see him live to do so.

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

The master at work. Love it!

[@hkbvjvvjvnbhk7586]

Hey Gabe!

[@davereinhartthedrummerjose1528]

👍

[@prabalblahblahblah]

His grooves are insane and unimaginable!!

[@breakZup]

Just got here because of your 5 most influential drummers, Gabe ;-) thanks for the tip, Benny is awesome!

[@jostapio]

I bought Benny's signature sticks after your comparison video!(btw you should review Steve Gadd's sticks)

[@XJoeyJordison666X]

That snare tone has a permanent home in my brain

[@Zachary_Sweis]

Definitely a Benny Greb fan now.

[@EAHMusic]

3:26 That face is priceless. Just shows how you should be playing music. You just gotta have fun! Truly inspirational and groovy! Amazing drumming.

[@nickymooncymbals]

Even he looks amazed by some of the shit he's playing. Awesome 👏🏻

[@jimpesh]

That's when you know you've got a good one. Not looking to impress, just sheer joy in doing and finding new things.

[@ChristopherMundahl]

No doubt

[@toddbeeman5933]

That groove was so thick and deep, it's still vibrating the Earth's mantle. His dynamics, accuracy, limb control/independence.. it's intoxicating to hear. He's a true master. I can't imagine getting to share a stage with him and feel the energy radiating from his kit.. that'd be one hell of a high!

[@alexivanovdrummer3985]

the smug look at 4:28 after the solo and the intense fill coming back on the downbeat of one and into the funk groove. God that must feel awesome to do be able to play like that.

[@joesantamaria5874]

Alex Ivanov (drummer) not smug, joy!

[@mls01981]

Even better is Jared's face at 4:03. Totally awestruck!

[@pjcouture5203]

We ALL can, how bad do you want to play like this!?

[@zachhale7281]

that crossover pattern he played between the floor tom and snare was so smooth, damn

[@zainterrell2733]

yeah i loved that

[@unbelievable_truth_band]

The excellent Austin Burcham explains the concept here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp3Eq52lbtekjLM (and yes it is awesome)

[@STIXAHOY]

His fills are so damn unpredictable. So amazing

[@danny4354]

favorite drummer by far

[@g_bla]

Dat side snare so fat it doesn't pass through the door

[@heladoscuro5074]

Nailed it m8! hahaha

[@edenskye3289]

Giovanni Blangiardi lol

[@rexross6808]

its interesting. I'm not a huge fan of its sound but I understand its purpose

[@tmaddrummer]

It looks like he's using a spare head upside down on the left snare?

[@userplayeraccount]

tmaddrummer yes maybe. That's what I do.

[@igorgoncalves5691]

The best drummer in world!

[@Severen45]

Never get tired of this Benny has soooo much groove!!!

[@groethej]

It just doesn't get any better...on all levels! His touch & feel, technical proficiency and overall musical interpretation is in a class of its own and second to no one. Beautiful!

[@paveldvorak5512]

I have literally never seen drumming that funky. And I've been watching drumming on this channel and elsewhere A lot. Absolutely awesome.

[@germanvdrive-2472]

Creativity+Musically= Benny Greb

[@Scottjazz55]

Oh My GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD!! It doesn't every get any better than this.

[@benevolentsun]

The Drum Professor that's the top right there!

[@alandanielw]

Sorry. ..can't stop watching this. When I play along its more apparent than ever that he's a master!

[@TravisSmith1]

I don't think its possible to get sick of this groove. It's just so brilliant!

[@DaLoveDonkey69420]

I'll always come back to this masterpiece.

[@patwalsh9360]

That stacked cymbal sounds so fresh!

[@alexniederhauser8562]

Honestly, Benny Greb, thank you long time!

[@Shobas]

That snare sound is ear porn.

[@jimpesh]

The smile on his face says it all. Dude loves what he does.

[@jeraldcuccurullo2497]

I'm loving this cat!! Everything he's playing is very original and not sounding like a vinnie,gadd,or other greatbdrummer clone just being Benny and that's unique and so musical!!!

[@tavaresdudu]

YOU CAN'T stop this man! Freaking good!

[@onth3hous3]

2 people grooved so hard they accidentally hit the dislike button EDIT: holy smokes! 4 years later and now 243 dislikes??? Stop grooving so hard!!!

Like a joke...89

[@ZackZweifel]

I'm so glad i had the opportunity to meet Benny Greb... what an inspiration and unbelievable drummer!!

[@jocquidixonmusicproduction988]

Yall definitely need to do more of these videos of taking some of the songs the artist play during the lesson (intro song/outro/solos) and post them separate. I cant even tell you how many times i've watched the larnell lewis lesson just to watch him play. Dont get me wrong, the lessons are great but somedays i just want to watch and analyze their playing to songs from the lesson

[@Jonas4747]

I am just not able to watch this without smiling. soooooo awesome

[@Orgakoyd]

Invite Jojo Mayer!!

[@76boromir]

Yesss!!! That would be awesome!

[@mdrums1428]

+Drumeo pleasepleaseplease

[@Scarf3086]

I spent the whole time just watching the placement of his left stick on the snare. He intentionally move inward sometimes to get a thinner sound out of the drum, and uses more rim shots. Other times he moves to the middle for a more solid sound (like we're used to). To think that he puts that level of attention into his playing is amazing. I'm always learning new things when I watch Greb groovin :D

[@EmondJeremie]

I swear He's the only Sonor Artist that uses their Pedals !

[@jensharald9091]

Hah, i almost thought the same .. Gotta say though; Jojo mayer designed one which i've seen a bunch of non sonor players use.

[@derreckossas4951]

Danny carey uses pearl eliminators

[@gabdevil3]

Thomas Lang used them when he was with Sonor

[@joelmartin3213]

This is definitely his environment! Loved seeing him in his comfortable context. So goooood!!

[@Razdanilo]

imagine just how much time he spent jamming to this tune at home. damn

[@JazzDunn1]

Thata the crazy part, he doesn't practice man, all that was literally on the spot.

[@ehsbe1056]

jAZZ DuNN yeah it is his music so he’d know all of the phrases and time signature changes so he’s just improvise around that

[@davidseres3030]

It's a joy watching and hearing him play...what a great display of groove ("in the pocket"), creativity, form, and technical skills...

[@Lukas-kh5gu]

Those Sand Hats sound incredible.

[@s.goldberger4887]

Benny Greb = mind blown grooving fills!

[@nassar8]

god DAMN that rhythm is clean.

[@RogersPhotographyOG]

For over 40 years I was a "wrist" player and it worked well for me (I am not pro at all) but watching him play with his right hand was an "ah ha" moment. That technique makes so much sense. I doubt I will be able to change but I will practice for another 40 years...

[@marcusthomas34]

YES! JP is awesome! Please Drumeo

[@BOMBPHONICS]

Jesus haven't watched this in a while. This is why you're the man benny! Damn I love this dude as a drummer and an inspiration! So good and such a nice guy.

[@johnny5.56]

Please Jared, I beg, get David Garibaldi or Adam Deitch on here! I'd be forever grateful!

[@jo88sip]

How old is David Garibaldi now? And yes yes yes, I'd love to see David Garibaldi, I'd imagine that it would be pretty hard to get him though.

[@johnny5.56]

Late 50's early 60's? Not too sure, he loves educating though and I know he'd love to be on. He is active on Facebook as well if you're interested. He'll respond to messages/questions.

[@RogierRJDonker]

well... seems you got what you asked for 😉

[@viniciusgarcia1512]

the Americans are fortunate to have a portal like Drumeo, because here in Brazil does not have any help for drummers !, Drumeo does a fantastic job !, could think of putting Portuguese subtitles in class, would be a marvel!

[@babyjesuslovesme1219]

Holy smokes that was unreal

Super cool man benny greb is like the ultimate geeza on the drums, if u get what I mean, his style is just great. Thank u jared and drumeo teams much for much for making great lessons with great drummers (includes u jared ). I know this isn't a one hour session but still something that I learned from and in my book that's a lesson.

[@aclyte2679]

Love it!

[@TrinidadQG]

Drumeo Please invite Dave Weckl.He is a legend!

[@enyakbutler]

With this video but maybe in all vids could you by any chance put specs of the gear the artists use? sometimes you hear something and think its great and its different than what they have on the official website for the artist. Here Benny is using a prolite and it looks like a 20 kick but hard to tell from the angles. anyways just some feedback. Love your work!

[@FernandoCuadro]

Jared said he was going to make a drum cover of this song and he never did!!!! Come on jared!!! you can do it!

[@Pipeedrums]

how is possible that some people doesnt like this? Is just pure groove, talent and funny song.

Harken is great, but I would say they're similar to DT than BG
