Good video. Using drawbars is like using colors in a painting. I've never been able to get a LH Bass sound I like without using a non drawbar voice. 16' & 8' just isn't bassey enough for me. Just this morning watched a Tony Maonace video with him playing a Hammond SK2 thru a portable Leslie.. The bass was great and I'm assuming he was just using the drawbars ? I know on the Jimmy Smith albums there was a direct line taken off the organ pre-amp so bass could be added at the recording board.

Still love the BK9 and the organ sounds are great but I miss the layout of a real Hammond and being able to get to the controls quickly. I may have to pick up a clone. Should of kept my Hammond XK3 or Roland VK7.

Wow good video find Donny, Hammond still holds as the king. As a kid I remember helping my dad lug a B-3 to various playing jobs. Not fun, but still good memories.

Donny, Good find and there is nothing like the B-3 sold mine that was pretty beat up to help buy a grand piano. I never did the B justice since my work had always been on piano. It was fun though.

So long as you remember you have to play an organ, (For true satisfaction) as styles (Except drums) just get in the way.

Peter Hayward is from Leicester UK and I remember him arriving on the club circuit as a concert organist in about 1962.In those days the concert organist (sometimes with a drummer)had to accompany the contracted singers for the night and would only see the music probably 15 minutes beforehand.Most of the Leicester clubs had concert model Hammonds with Leslies and wow could Peter play them.

Funny how Tony still sticks to Hammond and Joey D changes brands all the time. Endorsement money must be good if you can get it.
