I was given a B Hammond a week ago I am a gospel pianist and Organist but I needed this video to explain all the gadgets on the organ. Thank you and much appreciated.
it is more convenient to set your bass sound to the B preset. If you play a walking bass and you accidently slip off the lower C onto the black B, your sound is not changed. In addition if you set the Bb preset for accompaniment, you'll never get ini the neighbourhood of the black keys, so no danger of a change in sound there either. Just something handy to keep in mind.
Robert here, your host and narrator for this video. Yes indeed, I have experienced exactly the thing you mentioned in performance many times, and it's embarrassing every time. I should have mentioned it and used the B natural preset for the bass in the video.
This was extremely useful to me!!! As you said... Most of people doesn't have access to a real Hammond console and I'm one of them. To have a minimum experience, I converted an old dead electronic organ into a MIDI controller with all controllers corresponding to the original Hammond controllers as you explained. I'm using B4 II, from Native Instruments. The experience is incredible and you made it even better because now I can understand, in deep way, how things works on a Hammond. I'm immensely grateful!
as a non-player but a humble recording and mixing engineer of sorts with a curiosity which im sure will one day be my undoing this vid was very informative and simple given the wiiide subject matter in particular...bravo and thanks
Wow, I just learned so much! I have been playing keys for nearly 40 years with occasional but mandatory playing of a Hammond. I even was the caretaker of a 1963 M3 for a time. There was so much in this 20 minute video about this instrument that I did not know that I'm surprised I got by this long without knowing, but more so that you were so succinct and effective at delivering the right information. Kudos to you, and many many thanks!
This was such a necessary video! Thank you for doing some theoretical things instead of showing a setting and chopping through an example or two.... I’ll probably watch this a bunch of times.
THANK YOUUU!!! Your The Best! I’ve been a drummer for 25 years of my life and I’ve always wanted to play the Organ at my church! 💙💙💙‼️🙏🏿 THIS TAUGHT ME SO MUCH! I pray and hope Over the new years of my new journey with the hammomd organ I have fun and get good and better! THANK YOU LEGEND! I’m subscribing!
So many thanks Tony for this video, Iam from Argentina and I luckely could play a Hammond Organ in the Music University in Rosario City, and I have and Nord C1, so I am awared about the difference. I really enjoy your videos and specially your Music!!! Thank You a lot man, You are great!!!!
A good educated guess here if you want to use the bass pedal for the Hammond jazz organ. From my experience on another console organ I played on - the Wurlitzer Organ model 4400 that had bass pedals, the Hammond's 2 pedal drawbars make only 2 distinct sounds. The smooth-sounding bass from one pedal drawbar is likely almost like an 8' Flute stop, and the other type of bass sound from the other pedal drawbar - usually an octave lower - is almost like the 16' Bourdon stop. In most Hammond jazz organ recordings and live performances, when you hear the good-ole walking bass from therm, most of the time you hear the "flute" drawbar from the Hammond Organ for the bass. This type of bass pedal sound sounds "cooler", so it is a preferred pedal drawbar here.
I'm working on them here in Austin John. It's why I moved to town. There's 7 at venues here in Austin, 2 are mine: One at the Continental Gallery and one at Antones. Come on out...
Maybe a bit off topic but organs and church organs in perticular where so integral in older Dutch culture we even have a saying when somebody goes crazy that goes like this "alle stoppen zijn doorgeslagen" which roughly translates to all stops pulled. Which some people think refers to switches in a home's main fuse box, but it actually refers to the Organ stops on a church organ which predates modern electrified homes. Kind of neat really. Everybody's grandpa had one of these transistor or tube organs where I lived. Mostly of Italian make. Never a Hammond, they were really expensive at that time.
We have the same expression in English: "He pulled out all the stops." Here it seems like everyone knows it refers to organ but maybe I'm wrong about that.
WoW and then some..it feels like being welcomed into a most prestigious secret society knowing this..really appreciate and respect the detailed but necessary features of this rare gem that you so easily express..it is an absolute monolith instrument, which certainly does deserve attention..
About the presets, my first B3 (1963) had the standard church presets and I never used them. My present B3 (1957) has the so-called Theatre presets (just like my B3000) and I use most of them. I believe the X66 also comes with the Theatre presets.
There’s a whole other world INSIDE once you take the back off. I rewired all the upper manual presets on mine many moons ago. Those are the shortest screws in creation. Right fellas? Worth the trouble though.
Thank you so much great video I have a Korg oasis 88 and this will help me with the understanding of the C3 engine and drawbars and all the functions that Korg has put into there workstation keep up the good work thanks
Love it! Brings back memories of when I was a kid, my dad's friend had a beautiful Hammond with TWO Leslie speakers in a big living room, and I got to mess with it. It was a lot better sounding than my much less expensive Wurlitzer at home! Now I can mess around with it a little, my Casio CTK-7200 has one set of drawbars and the percussion controls. It sounds, uh, okay, lol.
I was SO wanting to see this Video because I have purchased the IK Multimedia Hammond B-3X software and I had NO Idea what his really Was IS ! It is So Iconic and well loved by all for a century of Rock etc DeepPurple "Smoke on the Water", Highway Star So many. Thank YOU
This video is amazing! UA-cam is incredible... I can learn just about anything for free. I am almost 60 now. This was not available when I was a youth.
Synchronous to AC’s 60cycles, so it always stays in tune….. unless you take it to Europe like I did, where they run on 50hertz. 😬 Nice left hand by the way, in the demo. C1 is my fav of the V/C selections 😎👍🎹
yeah I'm playing the real thing today and needed this tutorial to understand this amazing instrument. thanks so much for the upload! I will save this video as a reference.
Coolest Leslie Speaker playing I ever heard is Greg Allman in Mountain Song. The way he speeds it up and slows it down is just genius, I play guitar but love organ. Crazy World of Arthur Brown had all that fantastic organ playing.
@dcannek I'm sure he meant "Mountain Jam" from the Eat a Peach or Fillmore East albums. It's on YT. Look for the 33 minute version and you'll know it's right.
Unfortunately I don't have access to a real B3 so for my budget and lack of space, a Roland VR-09B is my current tool for the job. I also have an M-audio Keystation 88 acting as my "lower manual," but I plan on replacing that soon. I'm hoping, if I get a MIDI keyboard with sliders, that I can program the sliders to act as lower manual drawbars. (I've been looking at the Roland A-800 Pro. It's got 61 keys and 9 sliders, and I feel like sticking with same-brand may better maintain consistency in how keys feel between keyboards.) Also unfortunately, the entire PK series (foot pedal attachments for my keyboard) are discontinued, so I'm just using an expression pedal.
Nice video. In the UK the C3 was the European version of the American B3; I'm not sure what the differences were but no doubt somebody has catalogued them somewhere. Some of the Hammond models I played in clubs back in the 70s had been retrofitted with sustain bass, which meant that the bass pedals produced a string bass or bass guitar sound that had a natural decay rather than an organ tone, the decay of the first note would cut off as soon as the next note was pressed so you didn't get two notes overlapping. This might upset Hammond purists but it made such a difference when accompanying cabaret acts if you didn't have a bass player; the later portable Hammonds such as the X5 and the B200 had this fitted as standard
No, the C-3 was sold in all Hammond markets. It's not the "European version," it's the "Church version." Both the B-3 and C-3 (and A-100 series) models were available in many markets. There are no functional differences between the B-3 and the C-3. Only the cabinets are different.
@@robertkennedymusic Ah, OK, thanks for pointing that out.. I think I'm correct in saying though, that the B3 was never officially sold in the UK, only the C3 / A100.. but I could be wrong there also, I've never come across a B3 here
Nor quite right with the start operation. You hold the start lever on, let the motor run up to speed, then WHILE HOLDING the start lever on you push the run lever up, they both should run for a second or two, then let go of the start button.
Thanks for such a complete and superbly explained tutorial. I have one question. How Vibrato, Chorus and Leslie on/off come together.? When “leslieing” on/off or fast/slow what are chorus and vibrato needed for? Always wanted to know.
There's no easy way to answer this. Both involve modulating the sound of the note in a kind of "wavery" way, but they're very different in how they sound. So there's no really simple description and no "formula" for how to use them. You have to play the instrument and over time your taste about these effects will develop in a way that's yours alone.
@@robertkennedymusic I started over with the Yamaha Electones back in the 80s and 90s. I recall never/rarely using Vibrato. Just Chorus, and what Yamaha called "Tremolo", a sort of leslie-like effect produced by a mecanical spinning wheel inside the organ body. You are right. It's a matter of taste and feelings.👍👍
They really don’t: the vibrato (originally tremolo) was Hammond’s own answer to the Leslie, which at the time was produced by a different company and competed with Hammond’s own solid state amplifier, the idea was that once you had one of the newer hammonds with vibrato you wouldn’t miss the Leslie. In truth this idea was never successful, but the chorus vibrato still has its own sound that is nice to use in certain situations (in addition to a Leslie!)

Speaking of percussion... Ever hear of, Bill Black's combo? On their album, "Bill Black's Combo Forever", you can hear a very clear percussive sound on, "Sassy Pants" depending on how the organist plays the melody. Also, I think he's moving drawbars to get a wah wah sound, for effects! 😁 Here's a link, if anyone's interested... ua-cam.com/video/-9HYesL7HSE/v-deo.htmlsi=uPbKc6iM5_pOG7nt

This was great!! After many years of dreaming, and even own an M3 and a Leslie for a bit, the reality of the maintenance and the weight lead me to a clone. Design originally by JoeyDeFrancesco the Numa 2 has all of this and an 11 pin out!! But is light and easy to hook up, I run mine into a Mackie 808stereo and two Yamaha 15s. Sounds killer.

There are quite a few differences among the different iterations of the original Hammond design. The B-3 and C-3 are identical except for the cabinet style. On the RT-3, the basic organ is identical, with two exeptions: 1. The pedal clavier is 32 notes instead of 25, and 2. There is an additional Pedal Solo Unit which is essentially a Solovox playable from the pedals. Unlike the Pedal Drawbars, the Pedal Solo Unit is monophonic high-note select.
The bass pedal "thump" as you call it is actually emulating the initial sound of a plucked string on a double bass.
Many people think of it that way, yes, but I just think of it as making the bass clearer and better-sounding. It would be a good idea regardless of what an upright bass sounds like. To me it's not primarily imitating anything. Yes, it's similar to a pizzicato attack, but what matters is that it sounds good.
Man, I could’ve used this info 40 years ago when I had a B3. Since then, I’ve used a Korg CX-3 but the same principles apply.
