I guess when you are famous, you can throw a stick in the air, miss it by 6 feet, and still get applause. Must be nice.

Benny Greb is like, the Yoda of drumming (even though he looks like Obi Wan). And he has this great British snob style accent, and I never would have guess he was German :P
He has great groove, amazing!

The solo from the Montreal Drum Fest. '05....WOW......!
Benny is most definitely my favorite drummer of all time. Props for the thread, C. He's right up there with JoJo and Coleman.

Benny Greb has endless MOJO! Jaw drop amazing!
I've been enjoying "The Language of Drumming".
This guy has MAD skills, and his signature snare sounds great too...
Talent, showmanship, versatility, feel, and a good attitude. Greb has it all and then some.
