MEINL DRUM FESTIVAL 2015 - Benny Greb’s Moving Parts - “Nodding Hill” & Benny's drumsolo

[@ebadband]

Props to the audio engineer, great sounding kit.

[@fwxd955]

I'm I the only one here that appreciate how amazing the keyboard player is?

[@cheapthrillonthetube4027]

No, you are not. Don't forget to give props to the bassist. ;-)

[@musicdev]

I think it's safe to say that entire stage was filled with talent

[@unclestevie9841]

Yes Bennys playing !

[@abramrowan1553]

I dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!

[@marcelmordechai800]

@Abram Rowan instablaster ;)

[@stri8ted]

That solo was utterly magnificent. Jesus. Dynamics to die for.

[@nnathangrahamm]

What John Bonham and Buddy Rich meant to drummers in the 70's and Neil Peart meant to drummers in the 80's, Benny Greb is the drumming hero of the 2000's and 2010's.

[@popeyesailor9571]

John Bonham? Oh puhlease! Most overrated drummer next to Moon.

[@chun-weikang471]

well without him, greb wouldn't be like this , Bonham did simple things but they were very new at the time

[@pierrepetry5734]

Try to play Moby Dick like Bonham and you will see if he was overated!And moon was only a rock n'roll drummer and a great showman!But these guys made music history!Benny Greb will never do!

[@ricardodelsilva3891]

I view John Bonham in the same way that I view Ringo and Stewart Copeland, which is that they are not revolutionary by today's standards but they were revolutionary at the time, it's just that drummers today have borrowed so much from Bonham, Ringo and Copeland that we have forgotten who we're actually borrowing it from.

[@SXI96]

massive respect to the keyboardist holding down the bass and keys, awesome, as well as benny and the guitarist

[@iopklmification]

Lol at the guy screaming "chid" during the clapping part.

[@mrpotatoprawn]

+iopklmification Oh my fucking god, that's the best thing ever.

[@Beatboarder66]

+iopklmification What does "chid" mean?

[@itsj0eyhere]

😂😂😂

[@iopklmification]

Sebastian H. It means you don't know much about Benny.

[@Beatboarder66]

+iopklmification Could you explain it please? :D

[@davidhauf5011]

Probably the best drum video I've ever watched

[@alexcaymans]

Who could possibly dislike this?! This was fucking great! I wish this kind of stuff was on the radio! :-)

[@mrchiefbs]

I love his solos because he incorporates beats from his other songs on moving parts so hes always playing something completely relevant. The timing, groove, fills, sound and lack of, is flawless.

[@MarkChiassonGameDev]

No one plays like Benny

[@notme.3917]

No one play like me or like you, every drummer has his/her own style...

[@schaddalton]

@@notme.3917 That's right. And I'm pretty sure you also know he was simply using a fairly common turn of phrase to articulate his appreciation for Benny's particular style.

[@notme.3917]

@@schaddalton of course. Lol

[@jf-yi8wg]

C. Doom Schneider give a look to some of his interviews or his whole approach of « the language of drumming » and you’ll understand who he is given so much praise amongst the drumming world. He sure is not as « choppy » as someone like Eric Moore or Aaron Spears (even if I’m pretty sure he’d have the technical ability to do so), or not as fast as someone like Mike Mangini but the man’s got groove for years. Not even mentioning that he is always playing for the song, as it can be seen here. Never overplaying but never boring, his drumming is always interesting. He is as well one of the best clinicians/ educators in the world. So no, he’s not overrated

[@nairolfmackebrecht]

@C. Doom Schneider Hey Chris, you like jelly?

[@HappyRedDemonSkater]

I love how on the very last note his cymbal stand gives out. So epic

[@groethej]

So so so much beautiful feel and expression. It's like each part of the drum kit is a person talking...hence, 'Moving Parts'. Majestic.

[@groethej]

Just beautiful drumming. It's like a really interesting conversation. Inspirational!

[@markomarkovic5729]

Those sand hats are absolutely gorgeous

[@drumandball]

Favorite Drummer of all time.

[@aronomaoileoin9603]

Aw man the sound off that kit!!! Cymbals crisp and fizzy, juicy toms, bass drum popin' damn

[@quintenhunt]

4:00 in and I literally drooled on laptop....Benny you genius!

[@duanedamaceno]

This is amazing, amazing, amazing, ...!!!! I'm smiling now!

[@LOSmanios1]

Benny,i'm watching you at least 6 years now,and i have to say that you are the most interesting drummer i have ever seen..you said that you 're trying every day to be the best Benny Greb you can and this is the exlanation for your excellent style! God Bless You!

[@tylerblake3596]

that snare is absolutely incredible! amazing solo as always. wish I could groove as hard as Benny

[@fernandocaromarquez7045]

it's hard to see solos like this, with incredible musicality but also with showmanship or crowd interaction ! Benny is a modern legend

[@LBird44]

those cymbals sound wicked!!!! and wow that snare!

[@andrewromanowski4290]

Benny has the best sounding drum kit. That groove though.

[@joseceraia]

That is what SONOR stands for.

[@lorenzobianchi1896]

chops, speed, precision, dynamics, taste, is there anything this guy can't do?!

[@hansraj110995]

thattt issss some BRUTAL GROOVING....... The whole time i was like DAMNN...........

[@chefgorilla]

I think I found my new all time favourite drumsolo. Holy smokes!!!

[@YoutuberChannelNL]

The drum kit sounds great. Benny plays fantastic, i love his timing.

[@JoelFilizzola]

one of the best drum solos in modern history!!

[@theloshest1]

Fucking unbelievable. So much groove, feel, technicality all done with continuity. Hats off.

[@TylerKohlslaugh]

That kick and floor tom is ferocious! Such a great sounding kit.

[@TimeNfeel91]

That final cymbal crash though.

[@elee9056]

crash crashed. . . . . . . . . . . teehee

[@xSTONYTARKx]

And then walk out behind the kit like it was supposed to be hahah

[@LeakyJAZZ]

the cymbal crashed lmao

[@AllanJ...Batmo365]

He's overall on of the best drummers in the world.. his feel... groove.. rythm and technique is out of this world...

[@hectorsanaifric343]

No such thing as the best drummer in the world,it's an arbitrary concept.

[@AllanJ...Batmo365]

@@hectorsanaifric343 yeah. You are onto something. In My opinion then.. 😉

[@pierluigicalderoni5573]

Fantastico trio e fantastico Benny, uno dei miei batteristi preferiti ma non solo per la tecnica ma anche per la simpatia che emana, un grande

[@martinjones5965]

Pretty sure he pushed atoms beyond their original design spec :) Brilliant ! Loved it !

[@globaldrumtracks1077]

Just noticed... Two Bottom Hi Hats? I love the fact Benny experiments so much with his sounds. Such an inspirational player!

[@roybeckerman9253]

Good to see Benny using small kits, unlike so many today. A throwback to the past greats of drumming. I wonder who his drum hero’s were.

[@RedeyePerc]

Thanks for posting this! I love seeing Benny do all the cool Brass Band stuff with Moving Parts. Next Question from his DVD is especially awesome.

[@RedeyePerc]

+Hendrik Intemann (HenneVanHalen) Nice to see you as well my friend! I'll always be around when there is a good Benny video to be seen.

[@GTDrum-qq4qq]

The overall feeling is very good. Benny's drumming is also the best.

[@a.jcalisaan5056]

Love the sound of those rim shots at 0:56. Great snare sound btw :)

[@indrapramono2943]

wow !!! this one is amazing play...nice play, nice technique, nice audience.... once again...amazing !!! really enjoy this

[@juandv930722]

the most tasteful drummer, simply astonishing.

[@Dibulok]

This is so alive! People love Thomas Lang I can not understand why? I mean look at this stuff Benny plays. So much heart and feel! 😍

[@551jek]

both great, but i will say I love Benny"s feel.

[@matXmajor]

This is simply amazing!

[@indietjafs4509]

so creative and inspirational, truly the best drummer according to me!

[@JarahOnDrums]

Absolutely Amazing! :) I can`t wait to see Benny perform in Quebec city this weekend! :)

[@blackl1steddrums]

To me hes the greatest drummer of all time.

[@KCYON]

The exceptional thing about Benny's playing is the fact that if you mess up the slightest bit, it can throw you off the original groove completely. If you're playing metal, jazz, or whatever, you can kind of get right back in. With this groove focused type of playing, every stroke has to be precise and intricate. And thats why Benny is so phenomenal.

[@StompL7]

+MintahDrums hell yeah. Man when i looked for the third or maybe fourth time. It's so deep in my head it's perfect you know what i mean ?

[@kirjian]

I could listen to Benny playing this groove 5:39 all day and not get tired

[@AlexanderWDI]

That double crash is beautiful. great sound.

[@LillianGardner0214]

THE groove, man... THE GROOVE!

[@grizzlywhisker]

man his kit along with everything else sound amazing.

[@alistairhatesmusic]

Such amazing players. Benny's groove always amazes

[@stonerpage3100]

This song never gets old.

[@denistunguz]

Benny Greb is a groove machine!!

[@ericcoppala8234]

Love the funk. Benny, you exude groove.

[@staplafara]

My biggest thumbs up for Benny Grebs performance.

[@ArtDrumz]

That solo was freaking bonkers. Holy smokes. But one thing that pisses me off is that the names of the other players aren't mentioned in the description of this video!! :/

[@grantkirkpatrick9886]

+Arthur Garwood Delahooke this is Benny Greb's band, called Moving Parts. The other players are Chris Montague (guitar) and Kit Downes (Keys).

[@JohnDoe-jz7bj]

+Arthur Garwood Delahooke Why would anybody mention them? They are just inimportant musicians. BENNY'S DA KING !!

[@ArtDrumz]

John Doe To me it's polite and fair. These guys put time and effort to go and play with this guy and they should be recognized further as well. I totally get that this is Benny's gig and what not but that doesn't mean that they can't recognize the other players as well.

[@chrisferree8366]

+John Doe Cause they are also fantastic musicians.

[@Macpee18]

+John Doe if they're so unimportant, imagine the song without them.

[@tlkshowhst]

His sound, his groove = eargasms

[@HeyItsKora]

Fucking amazing when he gets the crowd to clap, the chemistry between him and the crowd is fantastic, I love how he relies on them to keep time, else everything would fall apart, and i love how EVERYONE in the crowd is keeping time perfectly! Only at a drum festival 😂😂😂 fucking savage!

[@jOEdIRTmD]

Amazing drummer... simply the best!

[@sinhead666]

piękna ,przyjemna muzyczka ,rozjaśnia zachmurzone niebo,rozświetla blask gwiazd nocą ,można zapomnieć się na chwilkę

[@paulauclair4347]

didn't hear of benny until today. really diggin' it.

[@Beatboarder66]

This is so amazing!

[@enthrallingusername]

when i watch greb i completely zone out and go on a groovetastic journey

[@loud7070]

What a pleasure to watch one of the masters. Benny reminds me a of a Jazz version of Marco Minneman, must be those great German genes.

[@isaacwolf33]

No words Benny always got me out of words

[@AndersNFam]

The magic is in the beanie!!!!! That's why I wear one!!!.. now I'm watching for the magic..

[@futumama1]

Fun, nice, amazzing drumer ....this is stuff for my soul...and mind

[@samratjpatil]

Benny the man... Love your grooves

[@chancedillbeck]

This might be my new favorite Benny solo

[@DrumRoody]

Benny Never uses the top screws on his crash stands. I like a man who lives dangerously

[@VioletAOP416]

My crashes fall off the stand when I do that and it happened at a gig once so I’ve vowed never to do let that happen again hah

[@guitarsrcool17]

some solid clapping from that audience, you can tell they are all drummers!

[@bnyce52]

He's just simply the most fun to listen to out of all the drummers on Earth. He's definitely benefited by having a "smaller" sized kit that's placed beneath him. Helps maintain that control.

[@k0mbutcha]

best solo i've ever seen!

[@JoseNetoDrums]

Lição de hoje: você nunca será tão gênio quanto o Benny Greb.

[@kai_bittner]

Best use of the the audience I've seen 😂

[@vagosmpo3881]

You could say that he's a MOVING legend

[@themoaspecial]

Absolutely Brilliant!

[@lairenlakpammotilalsingh5199]

I am a meinl fan and I am not wrong because so many great players have shown what it can do

[@natohavoc]

Este es mi baterista... el mejor del mundo! Top 1!

[@ZZDROSS]

I was listening to this from another room...I didnt knew who it was....and I was thinking...hmm...this sound acutally a lot like Dave weckl and a tune for Master Plan... ;) Benny Greb...fantastico drummer...

[@antonkirkeby3374]

6:32 Did he accidentally hit his own head there? :D

[@kleidos]

indeed

[@doevenrealestate]

in time tho

[@swati7577]

that happens with me quite often when you try to play loud

[@551jek]

Benny is awesome , then again the other players are excellent also. very enjoyable.

[@chicken6111]

5:15 - 5:19, is he stacking high hats? looks like there's more than two there haha. What is the purpose of that?

[@chilichunk]

+chicken6111 Seems to be a GenX 14" Trash china underneath his Sand Hats. Sounds dope!

[@ten4450]

+Johan Ehn yes! also one under his crash too

[@landerpridgen9512]

+Noah Mirotta I think it's a filter china with jingles actually

[@landerpridgen9512]

+Lander Pridgen wait no it's a trash hat bottom

[@satanjd666]

It's the trash hat bottom but I'm pretty sure it's almost exactly the same as the generation x filter China

[@OPHIR1809]

Does anyone know what's the pattern of that fill between 1:50 and 1:52 ??? I'm dying to learn this fill. Please help.

[@Levsongs]

I was dying to learn that fill for so long too! I finally found it around a year ago. It's called the blushda. There's a million different lessons on KZbin if you want to learn it 😄

[@OPHIR1809]

+Lev Freedman -thank you so much!! there should be more people like you!!! Peace and love from Israel :D
