Benny the Stand-Up Comedian Drummer

When Benny talks, I listen. I enjoy it as much as his playing.

Only Benny can make me laugh and inspire me to practice

His jokes are as good as his drumming

Safe to say Benny grebbed my attention 😭🤣🤣

that's what happens when you're one of the best drummers in the world and hang out with Bill Burr

Benny is an incredible drummer and amazing educator as well. It’s rare to find both in a drummer at his level!

Speed..... What a great word! Speed is nothing without technical approach

I went to the clinic here in Argentina in 2019, I had to travel from my city to Buenos Aires, but it was worth it. I enjoyed a lot.

This video simply cleared most of my 8 months drumming experience doubts with bass drum technique. Danke schön Benny!

You can always glean a lot about who is an expert in their field -- it is by the ease with which they can explain complex issues in ways everyone can understand. This was awesome, thanks Benny!

Best drum teacher on the planet! Peace from Detroit MI.

Benny Greb is a drumming treasure

Benny Greb is the perfect name for a drummer. Until I watched some of his vids, I thought he was a 70 year old Jazz legend! Well, he's quickly becoming a legend

Benny as always reveals to be one of the funniest educators ever. as well as the great Dom Damularo.

Thanks Benny, went right to the kit, and instantly had a better double....

Very engaging speaker!

thank you Benny

Es ist echt krass wie gut man ihm zuhören kann! Er ist einfach lustiger als jeder Comedian und man lernt als Drummer so unglaublich viel von ihm. #gapclickandthelanguageofdrummingarethebest

he made it soo simple and I found out it is that simple finally

Tierisch amüsant und so viel Übematerial in den wenigen Minuten :) DANKE BENNY!!

Watched this video a couple of months ago and have been looking for it ever since. Went back to 40 bpm with his alphabet using this technique and my foot has progressed so much. As you said to us in your clinic in Johannesburg, thank you.

One little five minute video... Clearly wasn't planned, cuz an audience member asked the question, and he had to think about it.... And yet he still explains it better than anyone else out there. After watching so many videos about this, Benny makes it all fall into place. Mein lieblingsdrummer lol.

How is this even possible? I was searching for exactly this video 3 days ago, because I remembered that I saw this some months ago, but couldn't find it! And now here it is - amazing! Can you read people's minds?! Danke, Benny, Du bist der Hammer!

The funniest drummer of our time.

I learned more with this 5 minutes video than 5 hours of lessons

what a great teacher

Yo..that is dope!!!! 👍

Always love hearing Benny share his knowledge. Hope to e see him in person one day!

5 min. I think my schedule will be occupied for the next 5... years. Thanks man, really appreciate it

Excellent cours en 5 minutes 🙏🏾. Merci Professeur

"Put it into a form" very important. Thank you so much Benny.

That's exactly what I needed. Thank you so much Benny 🙏

Brilliant in every sense!!!

This video unlocked so much for me when I first saw it a few years ago. Beautiful explanation.

Possibly the best bass drum pedal lesson ever. Thank you maestro‼️👏🇦🇺✌️

That is a really easy to understand explanation. Thanks Benny!

Benny is one of the best Musician and Teacher i have ever seen.

I could not keep the beater off the head for the life of me. This brought it all together for me.

Du bist der beste alter.

Benny you’re awesome drummer! Любимый барабанщик!

My hat's off to you! You managed to complete a really great 5 minute lesson even while taking almost half to make jokes! :-) Very impressive and super great sound on the kit. I'm sadly unfamiliar with your music but will be checking out your channel.

Best drumer ever benny

legend

Thanks my master

Great lesson~

Always entertaining and useful lessons!

Highly entertaining

He’s pretty awesome

The master

Lol there is some Language of drumming reference with the rhythmic alphabet in the end haha Grüße aus Augsburg

So when you want a single bass stroke you lift your hip and tap or do you lift your hip and let it fall as a dead meat? Benny you are one of my favorite drummer by far thank you, I bought last year language of drumming still working on it, is amazing, the foundation of the drumming journey..

awesome. In a natural and easy way he describes the complex thing that made people flock to Freddie Gruber, Bruce Becker, Jim Chapin and Moeller himself ("ooh Moeller"- Tommy Igoe lol). Basically foot version of moeller stroke. Good stuff

My preferit drummer, and very sympathetic !

"Très bien c est parfait!"

I always do this heel down motion way back in 2007 when i was into drumming...about to begin the journey as a drummer..

Benny was always a silly goose

ฝีมือจริงๆครับคนนี้

Ah bon ?! Tu parles français ? Très bien ! C'est parfait.

Hello Sir! Great video, as always. My foot sucks and I need your help... 1. Do you ever bury a beater? 2. If so, what is the the rule: how long it stays in the head? I know that you don't try to overthink this and it's already build in, but maybe you can elaborate on this. 3. Let's say you need to play quarter notes in 10 bmp, do you drop your whole foot on the pedal imidiately or: first, you drop your ball and resting whole foot is separate step. 4. How do you avoid pain in your tigh when your leg is suspended for tapping. How "you" keep your foot in relaxed state all the time since your starting point isn't "buried" position? Thank you, take care!

Its a pity that there is only like button, I would send the heart better

My man's about to end Armisen's WHOLE career (if you know what I mean)

It was uploaded previously also but after few days I couldn't find it. IDK why it was removed

Looks like this is the whole concussion of foot technique

Needed to see his foot

2:00 does it means that raise my knee primary, and the foot and the leg is following the knee raising?

Hello! Greetings from 🇵🇭 Does anybody know here the kick pattern that Benny did? I heard that too from korean high school drum battle and I want to practice it too!

How tight should you have tension on the pedal? I.e. In relaxed state is the beater in contact with the bassdrum - cheerios

Amazing drummer. I’ve seen this technique referred to as “hop and drop” technique. Has worked well for me especially for accenting second beat of double stroke. And can be a starting point for development of toe heel technique (similar but reverse motion of heel toe). Heel toe has worked well for accenting first beat of double stroke or no accent (like doubles between hands and feet). IME, these techniques take many years of practice to obtain consistent rhythmic accuracy.

Subtítulos al español?

despite practising the technique, my first note of double kick still sounds weaker than 2nd note. Any advice ?

Ah yes, football. The game where you have an egg and you carry it around.

"très bien c'est parfait"😂 You speak french now Benny ¿?

Is that the heel toe technique ?

Holy crap I've been doing it wrong this whole time
