I have Sonor drums and it is pretty easy to get this kind of depth from the floor toms. Absolute killer sound from Benny as usual!!

His limbs are so independent, I’m surprised one didn’t pack its bags, move out, and live a successful life during this solo. Good Lord this was insane

Thing is, dude isn't even playing to a metronome, he just has God level feeling for time. Bit that gets me every play through of this is that the drop of the tambourine on his stack is in time with him slapping it. Obviously he knows how it's going to fall, but he has zero control over it, he's just that in sync himself.

Holy Bump! He's on the short list of great technicians/teachers (how can anyone say Thomas Lang is better than Jojo Mayer is better than Stanton Moore is better than etc), but I wouldn't underestimate what serving songs and being on said songs means to being on a "Greatest" list. I couldn't tell you anything about the music Benny plays on. Being in a band that people are aware of matters.

no one can bend the feel and time quite like Benny Greb - he has this ability to change the gravitational pull of the time itself so that it isn't that it rushes or drags but time itself speeds and slows down while he remains perfectly in the middle

So Benny Greb have some of the most beautifully tuned drums Ive heard. The way his drums are tuned is what stood out to me the most when I first heard him play. Im typically more of maverick and do my own thing, rather than what other do. His drum tuning is so good, that I just had to tune my drums like him. Every drum set I have had since, Ive tuned as close to his sound as possible.
