Jazz Lesson Hammond Organ Settings for Jazz Blues and Rock and Roll 

The pad settings were super helpful. I play worship music. Thanks!!

Very nice David. Thank you. I bought my B-3 55 years ago as a 16 year old. It's a constant learning experience. Thanks for your help

Thanks Dave, great sounding C3 and 122. U too love that Hammond sound. Too bad the younger generation doesn't play the organs as in past

I totally enjoyed your post I know it's a couple years old but I'm thinking of getting a B3 and you helped me tremendously thank you so much.

Dave, this is golden! Very valuable to me. Thanks.

Thanks. I've been carting around my C3 for decades and finally need to get serious with it. This is stuff just above where I am now. Thanks again.

Sir you are a great teacher of Organ and sound when it comes to changing the sound with the Leslie button. You explain that we'll, and you Sir is an expert in my understanding of what you were saying concerning the keyboard. I liked how you knew with an understanding of how you see it. And what worked for you. May help many thousands. You never know. Much respect for your knowledge of knowing. What may could help some people good video well control cool.

Hi Dave, thank you for your valuable info. I have Hammonds, had Hammonds for yrs, however, it's always super nice to hear and see any and all videos redering to drawbar settings and functionality. Seems there is always something new to learn, and your explanation of your settings and how to manipulate them was just wonderful. Thank you and please share more info. Maybe a lesson on blues chording, blues fingering and scales and runs up and down the keys. You have a super way of explaining things. Thank you so much again!

Really Enjoy listening 🎧 Dave Keep up the Good Work

This is a great tutorial, would love to see more! :)

Best tutorial on drawbar settings thank you

I love my skxpro! waiting for the xk4 should be here anytime Dave, also have 1955b3 and 1968 b3

Awesome! Can tell not your first rodeo, Great video, helpful info and great sounding rig!

Thank you - this was great info to try on my C3!

Hi David, Thanks so much for this. So great to hear your ideas on registration. Fantastic info!

Fantastic vid man thanks. I've a 1960 M100 and just got a Korg CX-3 which is a whole different ballgame and you've helped me understand a wee bit more about the workings. Cheers!

Awesome video Dave!

Great video. You are sooo right, about the Sk-1. I have two and an SKX and the sounds are phenominal. Have received many compliments when playing these keyboards. Thanks for posting.

Great video Dave . I’m just learning and the tips are really appreciated. You should do more videos .

Very useful tips!! Thanks a lot.

Wonderful , Dave . Very useful for a player who is feeling his way on a nice old A-100 . Producing the sound you want via the registrations with balance btwn upper and lower is essential , esp if you have come to organ from piano .

Thank you!

Thank you! Great sounds!

Great tutorial! The sound and the patches are 😅teriffic.Now you really made me miss my A100.

Super helpful

Great video Dave. Subbed! 🎹🎼😊

Many thanks, very helpful !

Great info. Thank you very much. ❤️

Hi Dave…Awesome job with the Drawbars and the Jazz sounds…So I just started to learn the Hammond And play by Ear, I like how you did the Run on your video 3:29 if you don’t mind could your maybe do a video that covers the descending runs of the fingering to this ? Thanks Jim

I don’t have hammond but i have a piano and i played those riffs and it sounds good

Great job but how about wooly bully watch it now 😮

Hi Dave, thank you for this tutorial. I am not a player myself but have my keyboard player doubling on Hammond in my Blues/soul band. (it is a modern` virtual hammond keyboard Roland VR-730 but sounds OK-ish) We are aiming for a pre-rock era 1950s sound. His problem is dialling in the Hammond so its bandwidth sits nicely with the band (= Drums, Elec` bass, 2 x guitars and Chicago style amplified harmonica) Do you have any EQ tips as i am getting tired of the sound overwhelming the band.. we occupy similar bandwidths so this is tricky.. What do the pro`s do live (low cut? compression ??? pulling out/adding certain freq`s?) What tricks make a hammond `sit` just right in a 4-5 piece combo live setting.. Any advice? PJ.

Wow super cool! Wanted to ask your thoughts on buying an SK1 (released 2011) vs. an XK-1C (released 2013; not sure if you've played those ones or not); they're both getting a bit old now, so wondering if you think those are still smart to buy in 2023 or am I better off buying a Nord Electro 6D, Yamaha YC61, or spending way more on an XK-5 (or the recently announced XK-4)? Would appreciate your input. I'd be using it as a second gigging keyboard (just part time fun type stuff) with a Yamaha digital piano (the piano actually has drawbars and good organ sounds as well, but it's fully weighted keys and I'd really prefer the proper semi-weighted waterfall keys for organ pieces). Thanks!

Hey David! Unrelated to the drawbar settings, I was just curious if the C3 we're hearing in the video has had the tone generator re-capped. I'm thinking of doing it to my '62 A100 with the original wax caps and I know alot of people advise against it. I love the way my organ sounds but can't help but wonder if it may sound better after a recap, the original caps probably being out of spec and all.

Thanks Dave. I really like the sounds you are getting on the lower manual but I can't seem to replicate them on my Hammond SKX. I would be grateful if you could let me know what leslie, chorus settings, etc. you are using on tjhe lower and the cord(s) you are playing. Best regards

Thanks. Very useful. Why do you have 3 SK1s ?!!! I have been playing a SK1 for 5 years but always looking for new tips. Do you know where to get good practical information about editing and saving voices on the SK1?

Since what age do you play organ?

Buenas noches sr asesor dónde venden estos instrumentos musicales ?

Ah, much as I like my various software and hardware Hammonds, they still don’t sound like this! Character is what the clones lack. And body and depth.
