Great stuff, Donny...Tony has that magic touch, no matter what Hammond he plays...the XK1 is a nice instrument.

The Right hand was a little overpowering at times, overwhelming the bass line, but a fine performance as usual.

He also wandered into the Upper range, at least once, with the bassline.

Why he didn't use pedals is beyond me, unless showcasing the instrument without them was the purpose?

All in all, still a terrific organist.

mix is fine through my SR phones, nice fat round bassline. Its probably just your speakers. The XK1 isn't my favourite instrument, but Tony is a great player.

I tried it through 'phones too...still too much Right Hand volume...bassline is fat and round, but not enough volume...TWD, how 'bout loanin' me yer phones?

I'm just usin' a pair of Sennheiser HD 600's.

I can't find my Yamaha's.

Ian

TWD...did you get to try Hammond's new SK1/2 yet?

Tony very rarely uses pedals....
My B3 hero...one of the best there is and will ever be.

I hear it alright...the sound itself is fine...the mix isn't right...Tony should invest in some pedals...if they were good enough for Jimmy Smith, the all time best, they just might help Tony. wink The pedals are needed for accents, especially.

Donny, I have a pair of Pioneer SE DJ5000 headphones (actually I have a dozen other pairs of 'phones) and the bass is still not balanced.

I had a problem with my first pair of SE DJ5000...bad connectors.

My Yamaha's are in the studio...drat!
