As a beginning rock and blues organist I have learned so many licks from this video. Great product that I would like own soon. I've watched this video numerous times over the last few years. Thanks to Kraft Music, Hammond, and Christian Cullen.
So happy you've enjoyed our video. Yes, Christian is an awesome player and he really makes the SK2 shine in this video. BTW, the SK2 has been replaced by the (relatively) new SKX...and if you haven't checked that out yet, I recommend you do. Here's another great video with some killer playing by Toby Lee Marshall ruclips.net/video/MDz_tY9RqRE/видео.html
If you're interested in picking up an SKX, please get in touch with Kraft Music and we'd be happy to set you up...BTW, we have special 36 month financing available on Hammond :)
Thanks for watching!

Really fabulous, B3 is here, sound is incredible, amazing, unrivaled. Lovers of Hammond can't buy a clone from another brand. Thanks Hammond greatest engineers. One thing: on stage very important a Leslie cabinet.
Thank you so much for putting up this video !! Christian Cullen ROCKS and so does the Hammond instrument !!!!!! WOW !!
Thanks!
Great playing and sound. I just bought the skx and have had many compliments as to the sound.
Good of him to fit this session in on his way to the gym!
Rather FAMOUS, the best new HAMMOND (here a SK) with professional XK serie, don't look for another keyboard, this one is state of the art, a real HAMMOND. Thanks for the fabulous work of HAMMOND engineers. With a real LESLIE (122 147 760VL) cabinet it's impossible to tell if it's a legendary B3/A100/C3 or a new B3.
WOW! This is absolutely awsome :D
I will buy myself a hammond sk1 88
I love these sounds:)
FANTASTIC !
Sound great
great playing
super Démo bravo man ca c'est une demo
I’m not sure these sounds would work for a high-end professional. But for a bar band or small church or just having fun at home-these things look like they’d be tons of fun. Since I’m no “high-end pro” - I just jam with friends as a hobby thing, something like this would be nice to have.
This is basically Suzuki Hammond's bottom of the barrel 'bar band' model that's a combination organ/electric piano/synth. Suzuki flew dozens of Hammonds and Leslie speakers to Japan when they bought the names. Everything from bone stock to gritty full modded rock units. Then they paid to have players from all different styles of music come over and demo them. Even this basic unit can be stepped up through different levels of grit or distortion. But their big boys really are something else. They look, and feel, and sound exactly like the B3... except it doesn't take four men and a small boy to move them (I should know... I played in a band back in the 70's and the keyboard player had a B-3, plus a Vox organ, plus a Fender Rhodes 73. And of course a Leslie for the Hammond, a two piece six foot high monster with lights in the horns. Plus amps for the other two. Oh my aching back). I sit in sometimes at the local once a month blues jam (on guitar). A guy brings in his big two keyboard job and Leslie once in a while. The place goes nuts when he starts to really get going on it. If you want to check out their big boy watch "Robert Cray Cookin' in Mobile 2010" on RUclips. The entire concert is good, but on the song that starts at 37:00 there is an organ solo that really is cookin'. You can hear him kick it up a notch and man it really wails. I hate the sound of Robert's guitar with those slinky strings though. And, if you know anything about drums, his setup is weird to me. The big tom or snare or whatever it is outside of the actual snare???
Amazing good!
Is that an SK-1 or SK-2 setup? I never get tired of looking at everyone's videos of these wonderful instruments. SK and XK alike. Thank you RUclips-- what did we all do before you came along?
2:47 give me eargasms
Holy smokes!
Hello, awesome playing. Could you please tell me, how you learnt to play like this? Improvising, Synthesia? Do you read music? Greets, piano teacher from Germany
Listening to something like this thru a mobile+digital processing courtesy of u-tube+a small speaker, I'm surprised I could hear some of the subtle esoterica that makes us organists such picky snobs. Its damn pricey and I doubt it'll get much lower,but the cachet is there. It is a Hammond. Damn tastey
7:40 Yeah!
Very good boys.
What is the two melodies from about 5- 6.40 minutes in this video?
Which names of the composers of these two melodies?
Now I'm trying to decide whether I want the SK1-88 or this. 88 keys on a
single manual, or dual 61-key manuals which can be divided between set-
tings if needed? Give me 5 grand, and I could get this with an XK5c!
Wonder what amp and speaker system is used? All sounds great!
I certainly think this provides the real Hammond jazz sound. But what about church, theatre sounds with the drawbars. What about hymns and singalong tunes ? Can this organ actually carry a strong melody, and not just do sound and special jazz effects. I am not a Hammond jazz player at all, which is why I love the stronger melody organ voicings provided by my Yamaha S970 !
damn good player!
It's a nice instrument for aux but in reality, I do not need the bells and whistles, I need atleast two sets of drawbars with the pedal foots as well. Would go with the nord instead.
ce mec est beaucoup trop bon
At frame 1045 this clav with Wah sound. Is he doing this with an expression pedal of a wah pedal. Also does anyone know if the SK series features a transpose option
this guy plays fucking sick! Excellent Job! Does he play for a band or anything?
Thanks for the kind words man!
Christian Cullen You're amazing! I've been playing piano all my life. Lately on my Nord Stage 2 which also includes organs and e-pianos....You've mastered your style, I wish I was as good in the genre as you are!
Where do I know that sound? 8:46
It's the CP-80 from Yamaha
how much?for it ofc.
nice ...play me some BOOKER T...
Great playing indeed but There is something about the SK series I don't like; and I have the same feeling with the XK-1c. May be the plastic look, the wall adapter... They look like toys... I much prefer the classic look of the made-in-Japan XB and XK series...
8:46
Mestarin (JS) jalanjäljillä.
Does the SK 2 do all the fancy piano sounds and whatnot too? They only showed it doing an organ.
piano at 4:44 or so... pipe organs around 5:20... e-piano at 7:00 clavinet at 10:00... choirs 15:00
lqr824 Yes. e-piano, clavinet, and choirs = sk1. I guess I should assume that it should do everything the sk1 does but I guess I wanted to know when I made the comment.
That's not how you play purple rain but close lol
Great playing! However, this has to be one of the worst digital emulations of the tonewheel organ I have heard in the past few years; it's extremely artificial. In addition, the Leslie speaker copy is just as bad as some of those we heard in the 90s. GSi, Nord, and Numa are some of my favorite clones. It is important to note, however, that tone is entirely a matter of taste. If this is what you like, then by all means, go for it!
+TheMadMusicMan "the official hammond electronic representation of their own historical organ is bad, in my opinion, but remember that opinions don't mean anything so everything that I just said is essentially worthless and important only to me."
Wow thanks for that super helpful comment, dude!
Get a ventilator
except this is a Suzuki, not a Hammond. the Hammond Organ Company went out of business in 1985.
lmao
Way too much wiping and smearing.
The keyclick with the pipe voicing sounds ridiculous.
There is no key click with the pipe organ. That was a different organ model.
Still sounds fake. There is still no substitute for a real Hammond tonewheel and Leslie. The real Hammond name died in 1974 and Suzuki still does not get it.
+dojmike If you listened to an actual Sk-2, with or without the Leslie 3300 that I have, not thru laptop or tinny computer speakers, you would think differently... The sound is PREMIUM...!!!
+RounPonda I have - and I played an SK-1. Listen to the programmed key click on this performance. It is exactly the same for each note. On a real Hammond, key click varies for all notes and sounds more natural. I also played an SK-1 and on my glissando, the keyboard was so light it nearly slid off the stand. There is nothing like the feel of my 1958 vintage B-3 weighing in at 400 pound that brings out the best in my playing. My TG is re-capped with the Goff cap kit and believe me it sounds worlds better than the SK-2. Of course my B-3 does not do Pipe Organ, Fender Rhodes, vocals, etc. That is what my Korg Synth and Yamaha Stage Piano are for. There is nothing like the sound of a well cared for real B-3. Of course I only use all tube Leslie 122s. The 3300 has a solid state amp with tube pre. The delicate tones of the B-3 survive much better in a free space vacuum of the tubes than when forced through the crystal lattice in solid state amps.

THE MAGNETIC FACTOR? IS IT MISSING IN CLONES?
I played electric and acoustic guitar for 20 years before discovering organ 19 years ago ( wow time flies!). I've played/owned many types of guitar pick-ups, amplifiers, speakers, and effects. Have also played/owned a great variety of organs covering just about every type of Tone Generator from 1929 to 1984. Including Hammond's only electromechanical competitor- the Wurlitzer Electrostatic Reed Organ.
The Hammond tone wheel organ and Wurlitzer electrostatic reed organ ( pref. 'free reed' models 53'-61') are the most up front, bold, and professionally dynamic and interactive of all organ tone generator systems. There is much to be learned from the fact that although the Hammond tone wheel design and the Wurlitzer electrostatic reed design use somewhat different approaches to generate tone, they both demonstrate the superiority of electromechanical systems in musical instrument design. It's no wonder considering how well their closest relative- the electric guitar thrives.
The other important ingredient is amplification. Vacuum tube amps, field coil speakers, permanent magnet speakers, and horns ( aka Jensen horn in Leslie rotary speakers- organ) coupled to the electromechanical instrument is the perfect match!
Personally I feel that the 'electromagnetic' tone factor has not been addressed in the clones. I go into it and possible solutions on my blog at electronicorgansDOT blogspot DOTKOM
+dojmike Yeah...The fake key click is the dead giveaway imo.
First off, you need to remember what the purpose of the SK is. It is designed to give a player a great option of having the Hammond sounds without having to transport and load a huge beast like the B3 or even the M series plus the Leslies. I think the SK does a superb job of giving that option. Plus, I do not believe anyone in an audience is going to recognize what you call a "Fake" key click. I am a player and I really don't recognize or care about it for that matter.
