- This is a really cool setting I learned from the great jazz organist and educator Tony Monaco. I highly recommend checking him out or taking a lesson from him!! An amazing musician who I deeply respect :) Try this one out it's a really cool sound!!
So funny, I stumbled on this sound just a day before your post. I have built in reverb on my B3. I went to just drawbar 4 with percussion on and I was like wow that’s kinda like an electric piano and started playing your “expensive” sus2 piano lick from a few posts prior.
Hahaha. Amazing!! Such an expressive instrument ❤️. Have a great day 🙏🙏🤟🤟
Pipe organs are able to simulate many instruments, especially wind instruments; stringed instruments were more difficult but also attempted.
Theatre organs added percussion, and much more, including brand new pipe sounds, vibrato, and more
Long before the invention of the Hammond / tonewheel organ.
😎
Very true! Thanks 🙏
Look up Novachord which essentially is a polyphonic synthesizer by Hammond from late 30’s. It’s right down the alley of this post
I am familiar with them. We have two here in town at the National Music Centre!! Very cool!!
It was literally yesterday I was stuck with my Hammond XK-5 wishing there was a way to get a pinao sound!!
This is so useful!!
Thank you!
Glad you like! 🎹🙏
I was trying this setting yesterday on B3-X (software emulation) but without the drawbars.. pretty nice sound.. i added a tube screamer for more volume & some girth, and then a spring reverb.. can't wait to try with the drawbar too..
Very cool! That software is incredible. Amazing how good it sounds!!
An underwater piano from outer space!
lol. GREAT description!
Another great tip. Thanks.
You bet!! 🤟🤟🎹🎹
OMG Mike! I've heard about this for years and thought it was urban legend. Got to try this right now on B3 and XK5! Many thanks!
It’s a cool trick!! Enjoy 🎹🎹🤟🤟
Got to try on my Mojo, thanks
Sweet!! 🎹🙏
Riders on the Storm!!! Sounds beautiful on that organ
Thanks so much 🙏🙏
Thanks very much Mike !
This is what I was lookin’ for, for some songs where they use this.
I tried different settings for some songs.
Now I only hope that my L-100 comes close, Because it has a different percussion as a B3. 😊
Thanks anyway 👍🏼
Thank you for watching. Love the L100 ❤️
Even with the decay on full length in my Mojo editor, my Mojo61 can't decay percussion long enough to get this effect :(
Add reverb!! It might extend it :)
I’ve never done this with slow percussion, but with percussion on fast it gives somewhat of a marimba quality, even without drawbars. There’s a background part in the verses of Peter Gabriel’s In Your Eyes where it does this.
🎹🎹🤟🤟
Back before synths I was always so frustrated trying to use those sexy gentle setting and fight for volume against the drums and guitars.
I bet!!
even better on a stock 55 b3 or 58 with percussion drop mod 😎👍

Absolutely!!

Hey, I finally tried it. I have to say it is a weird feeling. For a second you feel like your playing a piano and the the next you don't. Cool trick! I gonna definitely use it a bit. Keep the videos coming!👍
Sweet!! Glad it worked!!!!
So a drawbar means sustain and no drawbar means much less sustain?
You can definitely look at it that way :)
Thank you Mike. I'm gonna put this one the the tool box. Can't wait to try this when I get home today!
Awesome have fun w it!!
Does Diana Ross' "My Old Piano" feature this trick? There's a prominent piano/percussion sound that I could never figure out.
What a great track!! Haven’t heard that one before. It sounds similar. Maybe just toe percussion w no drawbars pulled out. That’s what I hear anyway…… thanks for introducing me to this. Very cool 🎹🎹🙏🙏
@@UniverseofKeys Got to give Nile Rodgers credit. He sure can craft a song.
True Dat!
This is great info!
Thanks for the comment and for
Checking it out!
Very cool!

Man- if you think that sounds like a piano - - - You need to get an EAR TUNE-UP ......
Hammond made many drawbar settings. They all had different names. Tuba, Flute, Piano, Trombone. Yes they all sound like variations of an organ. No it is not literal ;) but I will get my ears checked 😂
Any reasonable musician understands that this is an approximation, similar to pipe organ settings.
@@steveccase& @Universeof Keys I have a Hammond Spinet EX-800E that has a "Piano" setting and it Sounds Just Like A Piano. 🎹
Danke!
🙏🙏🎹🎹
Thank you for the tip!!
Nice sound, but it does not "actually sound like a piano", still is clearly an organ.
It was easy to deduce that he was approximating something; we know there is no hidden piano-sample button.
No shit Sherlock it's an organ
If you go back and listen he says electric piano. Here he's doing a Fender Rhodes piano like Riders..
Still produces sine waves which a piano doesn‘t. And it‘s paraphonic whereas a piano is fully polyphonic.
Can't believe this drawbar setting didn't turn the tone wheels into strings
Well duh. Pointless comment since the title of the video tells you it will show you how to make a Hammond sound like a piano, not that a Hammond is a piano.
