Mike created this style we’ve all grown into copying at some point or another. He’s still hands down the biggest influence of Gospel musician keyboardist of his generation. A straight beast
Mike is a straight beast!! BUT he didn't create this style (at least not alone). And he's ONE OF the biggest influences on gospel keyboardists. Mike is the truth though!!
@@MyFeltMusic You are definitely right. Danny Witherspoon, (all of the Donald Lawrence stuff) Richard Gibbs, Darius Brooks (Tommies), etc. Heck, just take your pick of any of 30 dudes from Chicago.
Actually Kevin Bond is the originator of that sound! He’s from Chicago. Also terry moore used to play for the Hawkins as well and also was an influence to Kevin bond in many ways.
We can do it guys! I’m actually sitting down and working it out now that I have time. And it’s fun to work out these sounds. I’m not going for accuracy but the general sound.
Can we crown him official beast already. That freedom, dexterity, strength, coordination and reflexive decision-making.. These are what beasts feed on.
@@Erainia Well, yes of course you're entitled to your opionion, and in some previous cases I can agree with you - the Electro 1 and 2 were identical, only the OS changed (and a 2 on the panel and back..) The Electro 3 and 4 are quite similar - basically they put another engine in their. And of course - Stage (1) and EX, very similar. Stage 2 and 2 EX even more so. The EX got more memor, and an improved Leslie sim (which they actually made official, AFAIK. In this case, which you might have missed, for the first time in the Nord Piano-line, have two piano parts, and two sample parts, which previously have only been found in the Stage series (as panels A and B). The ability to layer two pianos have long been requested (if you look in various Internet forums) - layering an acoustic piano with an electric or digital is not only common, but for many players I guess, is a requirement. The sad thing though that I found a bit hard to defend, is they raise the price "a bit" for each generation, and I believe the Piano 5 about 700 USD/Euros more expensive than the first Piano was... and the Piano 5 seem to be $/€ 3-400 higher than the price of a Piano 4... Not OK, if you ask me... But the bottom line - this time it's cerainly not a "few tiny additions". Disclaimer: I'm a Nord user since 2008 (Electro 3), but never had any endorsement deal. I also own pianos, synths and organs from all the other major (or not so major) companies
@@t-man78 I don't really understand why layering couldn't have just been implemented with a free OS update though? It seems weird to me that basically every other piano ever can layer instruments of the same type, but Nord feel the need to not include it for years, only to charge a huge premium for it. $700 extra for minor changes and additions that nearly every other board can do is just absurd to me!!
MAESTRO MIKE BEREAL.....MY FAVORITE SUPERSTAR GOSPEL. KEYBOARDIST.... HE PLAYS ALL KEYBOARDS. ... AND WHEN HIS SCHEDULE PERMITS HE DOES TUTORIALS. .MAN. ALL I CAN SAY IS ALLELUIA. !!!!!
Exact reason why I’m getting a Nord. Yamaha Montage Piano’s are nice but there’s a richness that Nord pianos have. Always been a Roland fan and still am today but I guess you pull what you can from each developer. Great musician you are, sir.
Beyond Mike’s harmonic approach to voicings, his rhythmic concepts are exceptional.
very much . especially when you listening through studio speakers
really, it sounded like stock to me. just playing the piano like it's a drum, certainly no bill evans, that's for sure.
Yep
ROD!!!!!
I love your comment, and you are right. One man band.

....SEAN WILSON, WE NEED YOU 😩😩😩😩
But imma start picking out this Amazing Grace cause this is something ELSE
why i say the same thing.. where you at bruh lol!!!!???
FACTS

Yes I was thinking of Sean too!😍🔥😍🔥😍
His too silent
Watching this reminds me how much more I still have to learn....even though I have been playing for 30 years!!
we feel you bro... xD
Eish me too bro, for 15 years
@@freedmtempo3108 18 here lol

To have board is not enough. You got to play like him
@@serg3123 💯💯
Thank you Nord!!! I love that board!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
How soon, please!!!!
Great playing!
Yeah.... praise the Nord!!!
Yes... love those licks, runs and thick Jazzy chords... the classic Mike B Gospel flow...‼
Can we crown him official beast already. That freedom, dexterity, strength, coordination and reflexive decision-making.. These are what beasts feed on.
COMPLETELY slammed over by Amazing Grace. Never heard ANYTHING that good before. And the SINGING. Huge thanks to Nord and Michael for this!!
Hey man you I imagine the World by yourself man God bless you and your loved ones
The man is anointed, and truly blessed!
Let's 'be real', this guy is good
I see what you did.
You mean dangerous the intro alone was nasty
Lol
I don't think he is good. He is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aq1@~•°~°!
Mike being mike!! He is one of my favorites
One of my favorite players hands down! Thanks Mike for sharing your gift with the world!
Oh Man!!! Those Voicings on amazing grace are nice
That is great playing. God bless you.
he is killing that keyboard! The keyboard is laughing and having a great time too.!!!!!
This brother PAINTS well!!! This keyboard I’d love to own ONE DAY ONE DAY ONE DAY!!!!!
Looking forward to the Nord Piano 5 Premiere 🙂 .
One of my favourite gospel keyboard players.
Excellent !!!
Hard to find a better artist to sell your keyboard. To be fair though, you could give him a kids keyboard at Walmart and we would all still be amazed!
Mike is a great Musician, Producer and Songwriter....I Love The Sound Of The Nord!
Plays amazingly and still sings beautifully? Wow!
I don’t understand people who dislike this
Jealous
Because it's the same piano as last time with a few tiny additions, re released but called new

They don't understand themselves 😋 In fact they don't understand anything
I love your approach Mike. I will forever be a fan and I will never forget your contributions. Hope to meet you soon. Thanks Nord!
I gotta admit Nord is reviving the appreciation for classic instrumental sounds. Very earthy but modern sounding.
