Derek Sherinian Keyboard Solo Live in Tokio

[@dennistuinei7150]

So underrated. I’m glad other people can enjoy this.

[@DRAGONSTUDIOSTV]

This is the ultimate atmosfere guy!!! just see him closing his eyes, and you've got it take a nice trip to the other dimension

[@MindstormRecords]

Derek takes you on a journey which is exactly how a keyboard solo should be. Bravo!

[@alkodjdjd]

A synth is not just a bunch of keys: that's a piano. A synth is a keys + pitch bend + mod wheel + pedals, and only Derek is able to use them all effectively and thus use them as they were meant to

[@ooo_Kim_Chi_ooo]

Derek and Matt Guillory are my favorite keyboardist. I love how they tackle the keyboard as another guitar in the band and extract such amazing sounds.

[@iamrichlol]

Hey man! So glad to see somebody else mention matts name here, hahah. I just recommended him twice

[@freakishtwin]

i think derek aproaches the keyboards exactly the way it should be played, ive seen a lotta people hatin on this guy for not being "good enough" but in the end its not a piano and its not supposed to be played like a piano derek is the exact definition of a keyboardist

[@jaynazario88]

totally agree with u dude, this guy is the definition of a keyboardist at his fullest

[@emilloparski]

You're totally right! And believe me, he has no problem with the piano approach too :)

[@jaynazario88]

not at all haha

Emil Loparski im not saying he does have, u got my point :)

Absolutely Amazing Keyboard playing, Virtuoso with Feelings & Emotions. Derek Sherinian is one of the best Keyboard Players in the World!

[@マシュードーラン]

Derek is the Keith Emerson of a new generation. Sonically taking you to new places. Creating a world with his techniques and pushing the limits

[@chemarodriguez6699]

I love Jordan; I think K.Moore is pure Art but my heart is to this dude. Derek your contribution to DT was Superb

[@supermariofp371]

I love that DS approaches his keyboard playing like a guitarist

[@Ravelle17]

If you want a keyboardist who does guitar sounding keyboards, you have to check out matt guillory

[@RFXLR]

Yep, Channeling EVH!

[@edupetruk7298]

DEREK IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@javiersocarras3489]

If somebody said that he is not good enough, please go to the doctor because if you listen his solos Albums, full of rock stars is because of something, his music is in another level! If you can't understand that go a listen Rap music

[@マシュードーラン]

So happy to see the Live From Oz solo on video! What a phenomenal work of art

[@micheleferro7585]

Dopo vent’anni ancora mi chiedo perché i dream theater se lo sono fatti scappare... un genio, un compositore da paura! Mille volte più emozionante di rudess a mio parere

[@alessiopullara7170]

Secondo me volevano Rudess perché aveva uno stile più vicino a una seconda chitarra..

I can listen to Derek play for a long time. I wish more people were like him. Martin Hedin is also pretty fun to listen to, sadly I don't think he's done anything after Andromeda. Love this. Thanks for the upload!

[@misterscarpantibus]

Si riconosce subito Derek... stile unico!!

[@marioburku-drummer]

In my opinion, he is the most creative keyboard player I know. Jordan rudess is more the classical guy, also brilliant but Derek plays like he is out from space, I love it👌👌👌

[@nicolasxshenglongfirex6588]

excellent solo

[@awaken77]

D.S. is a fan of guitar music (from his words Van Halen was a one of influences), and he's playing keyboards with guitaristic approach, pulling synth controllers like a whammy bar and playing sort of tapping technique on the keyboard. He's capable to play electric guitar too (and he did occasionally with Dream Theater live)

[@sigitventilasi]

Wow... He played Eddie Van Halen - Eruption, in the middle...

[@Metalwizard92]

sigit ventilasi Actually, the song is spanish fly :)

[@sigitventilasi]

Metalwizard92 yes... you're correct :)

[@frama7844]

4:32 isn´t that the opening-chord from Coopers "poison"?!

[@pantheratigris79]

I´ve said this before: Derek´s sound is way better than most Rudess sounds. Apart from Chaos in motion Keytar, in general Derek´s playing is way more powerful. Technic wise, Rudess is parsecs ahead.

[@mitsanut5869]

Well, he for sure has much better sound than Ruddess. But any synth he plays, he arrives to very similar sounds at the end. You guys simply forget about the master of sound and hooks - Kevin Moore. He has no competition. He can create sounds that none of those two can. His music could be called dark yet in all that darkness, great melodies shine through and sound colors beat both of the above hands down. I play keyboards. I get sick of listening Ruddess (who otherwise is a wonderful guy), and I will recognize Sherinian "blindfolded", even when I listen to something of his that I didn't hear before and had no idea he plays on it beforehand. Don't get me wrong - I adore Planet X and stuff, have many of his records that I still play on occasion. He is a wizard but my ears simply get tired of him after a while.

[@Batsinthebelltower]

Then jens johansson comes along and turns them both to dust

[@awaken77]

@@mitsanut5869 Kevin Moore was my favorite DT keyboardist. I see his role in DT is kind of similar to Rick Wright in Pink Floyd. No musical wanking/shredding, but rather a contribution to songwriting, melodies, and textures. How many crazy solos Rick Wright did? nobody can remember. But everybody knows A Great Gig In The Sky.... and Space-Dye West

[@beneifert]

Kemampuan Derek yang jebolan Dream Theater bisa disejajarkan dengan Don Airey dari Deep Purple...!!!

[@Lucasbmanenti]

3 kronos? wow!!!

[@debuhokontra2006]

I think the difference between kevin moore, derek, and jordan, kevin is more on targeting emotional impact, while sherinan is more exploring his style snd approach on the instrument, and jordan is versatile but I think focus on showmanship and technicalities, I like both style but there is something in moore's music that you will like listen time to time

[@jonathanarleys]

Insane speed left hand on mod/bend controller... 😱😱😱😱

[@SimonFerocius]

The one thing if you play a keyboard solo is the emotion the note bend, not some useless arpeggio, and Derek prove it.....

[@rjordist4925]

useless arpeggio? what a low minded musician you are or maybe a beginner. LOL! arpeggio is one of the most technical style of playing keys. if you're already a virtuoso musician then mastering arpeggios is one of the best techniques not only for keys but for all musical instruments. if you're a keys player or guitar player then try executing arpeggios with an accented accurate phrasing with dynamics up to 4 octaves of the notes or more if arpeggio is just useless to you then meaning to say it's just a piece of cake for you then show us your vids. lmao!!!

[@pepinooobreve]

People don’t know what the meaning of keyboard in a band. What proves it it’s the fact that many see Rudess better than Derek, or even better than Kevin. They confuse technique and speed in the instrument with the meaning of what music is and what it really means in a work. Derek and Kevin are the meaning of keyboard in a music with their tones, aggressive chords and their string sounds and lead phrases. Jordan is very good but is like a musician in the wrong instrument.
