[@drlouiscardinal752]

What a show!.....The thumbs down people are not musicians.....certainly not keyboard players.....poor souls....

[@RubyBandUSA]

under new KZbin procedures ain't no more thumbs down showing anymore !!

[@rdpurdom]

Good job!

[@howdydoody6312]

Love it , let's hear some new videos 😊

[@59Rosco]

Booker T, Jon Lord, (RIP) & Jimmy Greenspoon (RIP) true B3 virtuosos.

[@B3burner]

I am amazed you played the original May 11, 1968 London studio version of his solo note-for-note. I haven’t heard anyone else attempt this. Excellent playing- on a very difficult instrument to play.

[@DanteStar7]

Very kind of you to comment! Thank you!

[@MrPantss]

I can’t tell you how many times I search this video out and watch it! My grandad back in to 1970s played a Hammond organ with his Leslie speaker and I love deep purple, it’s a combination of so many memories to watch this incredible musician, thank you ❤️🙏

[@DanteStar7]

Thank you Alex! That is one of the main reasons that I took the time to do my videos, simply for people to enjoy them the way you have. Thank really!

[@alexanderdontsov7482]

Man, it's great! Respect!

[@fabriziobazan3738]

Super!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DanteStar7]

Well, I am hitting certain areas on the keyboard but not certain notes. Does that help. I also think unless you have an over driven hammond sound that it will not sound like you want. Drawbar wise, I would pull out the first 4 bars all the way and add just a little of the rest of the drawbars. Just do whatever sounds best with your gear. Thanks for watching and if there is anything else let me know.

[@vbros7]

Awesome performance and production value. I could watch you all day my friend!

[@DanteStar7]

Hi Pro Man, The music comes from the keyboard you see behind me. I play it in one chop at a time, doing drums, bass, e. piano, guitar, etc. by midi. Then put that into a Roland dig. recorder and add what ever back ground vocs. Then I play and sing live for the final video recording that you have just seen.

[@mcd1954]

Very Nice! Dante, please place a camera a bit higher for us "newbies:" to see how to play the licks....on all of your performances. Thank you.

[@williehill7909]

In South Africa we say " give this man a Bells " (whiskey). I give u a double.

[@mannedge]

Just awesome! I'm a vocalist and I've recently started learning some Purple stuff on the keyboard to play with my band, since we can't seem to find a keyboard player anywhere around. This is definitely gonna help me a lot!

[@DanteStar7]

I'm glad u found it useful!

[@immerrocknroll]

Ahhhhhhhhhh, great sound!

[@dougmphilly]

my fave from dp...just the perfect leasebreaker...good job

[@97yawnac]

That was awesome! Would you consider a video of B3 techniques? Not just one song, but what a lot of B3 players do, like Greg Allman, Boston, Jon Lord. I think there is a lot to learn on the set up and comping, and simple patters like you just showed in "Hush". A lot of folks would like to learn from you and your talented playing.

[@RubyBandUSA]

um, are you Richard Starkey a.k.a. Ringo Starr? The last several several seconds of the clip there is a close resemblance to how he's looked the last few decades if he were to dye his hair and beard.

[@DanteStar7]

LOL, I never heard that before but "Peace".

[@MercuryAudioVideoArt]

Zounds! ! That was the best ever! Play that keyboard like 1000 black & white congo drums!

[@DanteStar7]

I meet people all the time that have no idea about the existence of the Hammond organ and Leslie speaker. That is amazing to me when you consider how important these tools are in the modern music that we hear. I would say that most Americans hear a Hammond/Leslie every day and don’t know it. We all recognize drum, guitars, etc. but not many know Hammonds. Just to get started, that is a Hammond I am playing and the thing spinning is the Leslie. The organ is being played thru the Leslie speaker.

[@MG-Nordster]

Excellent rendition, yes, what a match made in heaven, Mr. Hammond and Mr. Leslie! imagine, Hammond didn't want to have his organ played thru a Leslie because Hammond was putting out speaker cabinets, i think called PR -40 and 60s. Well my CV *(early version of the C-3)came with one of those, but of course i use a Leslie 122, instead!! lol... Great playing! Im still working on my version, its not anywhere near your level. Rock on!

[@RubyBandUSA]

It's very telling that you even had to explain it in such elementary terms.

[@awaken77]

It's great that you included view from the top of the keys

[@ericr5431]

I just have to wonder who are the two thumbs downers? I have seen Deep Purple Mark II play this three times and John Lord (RIP) played it different every time. You also can catch him doing it on Playboy After Dark.

[@DanteStar7]

Thanks Eric! After having done a number of you tube videos like Hush 2 I can tell you there will always be haters or whatever out there. There dislikes mean nothing. Thanks for your kind words.

[@tedmalin2]

Wow, wow wow... I am speechless. Fantastic work. Your rig is sick!

[@Donn713]

Awesome "How to" video for the lead :) A lot of fun to watch.

[@Vivelabretagnelibre]

very impressive performance (both vocal & Hammond) !!!

[@TZKeyz]

Great job. Great song for your voice too!

[@WisconsinDIYGuy]

Thank you for this. Very nice!

[@MrPantss]

Bloody amazing!

[@DanteStar7]

Thanks! I took a couple minutes and checked out your one of your vids as well, very nice! Looked like you guys were having a great time. I will check it out more when I have time. Dante

[@MrPantss]

Incredible!

[@colroulette9337]

Loved it

[@diamondkutz54]

Awesome performance Danny!

[@thekeysman1]

cool wicked love the solo.

[@demian964]

Lovely interpretation.

[@tjhubbard51]

DAMMMM - That is really good!!!

[@52guitarbob]

I can listen to Dante ALL DAY!

[@rushyeskansas]

Phenomenal!!!!

[@davidmarin3403]

WOW. AWESOME !!!!!

[@dgsmax1]

Nice work!

[@52guitarbob]

Hi Dante,Bob Here.I think you will agree with me that B3s are a work of art.There will never be another Hammond B3.Are you working on anything new?Do you like Joey DeFranchesco?Awesome on B3.How are you handling the heat?See you again.PEACE.

[@mccolleydw]

Tip...there are small metal cups in the back of the organ where the tone wheel generator must be oiled periodically. If u can't find real Hammond oil u can use singer sewing machine oil.

[@DanteStar7]

@RianneC I am very happy to hear that this will be a help to you. I did have that in mind when I recorded the video this way. Need any help, let me know. dante

[@headsupkid01]

Awesome.

[@Brain1962]

Awesome!!!!!

[@skelman557]

This performance of the slapping technic is really awesome. Looks so easy to do. I keep banging on my keyboard but it is definitely different :) What makes this percursion sound ? Is it the keyclick, the slapping speed ? Would you mind sharing your hammond preset ? Once again, congratulation for this performance !!

[@DanteStar7]

Preset something like 888854332. Depending on brightness of your keyboard. What makes this sound happen is tubes, keyclick, percussion not on, What makes the sound is really Hammond and Leslie. You can copy it to a degree with some keyboards. Study the subtle things about the playing. Little things make a big difference when it comes to stuff like this.

[@DanteStar7]

I was thinking about your question more and I thought I usually use 8888 for slapping. Then I looked at the video, what I used for that recording is right there. 88884. I only would add anything more if I wasn't cutting thru a mix but usually 8888. Have you had any success? I have a Roland VK7 and a Hammond XK3c. They do fine making this sound but I don't know about other keyboards. I know many have tried and failed at making good hammond sounds but even I am not interested in carry one around on any kind of regular basis.

[@alexandramayerhofer8127]

perfekt gemacht

[@52guitarbob]

Master of the B-3 !

[@jameesqqq]

Amazing job, Mr. Dante. What drawbar settings do you use for lower and upper manulal?

[@DanteStar7]

Hi lesonajero, I was hoping that with the angle that I recorded this video that this would work for a how to play Hush video. First four chords are Bb Ab F G. Na, na, na, na..... is Ab Eb Bb F. If there is anything I can help you with let me know, but I don't think I will be doing a step by step how to in the forseeable futer just because I'm so busy.

[@mccolleydw]

Laurens Hammond the inventor of the Hammond organ patented his first transmission at age 14. he was an inventor, true story one day in the lab a precision made metal wheel was spinning during an experiment and some one dropped a pin on it it made a flute like sound, that was the beginning of the Hammond organ. The Hammond organ has a tone wheel generator that creates all of the sounds. the drawbars are actually volume controls that control the volume of flute pipe sounds. if you see a pipe organ it has some pipes that are 16 ft long 8 ft long 4 ft and other shorter lengths, you'll see those markings on the drawbars. by pulling a 16-ft drawbar you increase the volume of a 16-ft flute pipe sound. the keys at the left where colors are reversed are presets that override the draw bars. There Is a tab/rocker switch for percussion or no percussion sound. Drawbar volumes go from 0 to 8 and are marked on the draw bars themselves a typical setting from left to right would be the volume of eight eight six six with the percussion tab on that would give you a very quintessential rock and roll organ sound

[@giovannimicheleisolda4426]

eccellente!

[@MrPantss]

Fckin awesome!

[@MrPantss]

Jesus it makes me realise on the chompy chompy bits he was just slapping the keyboard!

[@DanteStar7]

Thank you.

[@MrPantss]

What would be the chances of you doing Perfect Strangers ?

[@DanteStar7]

I'd love to but am no longer making the vids! Had a great time doing em but have moved on. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@MrPantss]

@@DanteStar7 whilst that’s a real shame, seriously,, I understand. Still have these wonderful Rush vids, please never remove them. X

[@mccolleydw]

Fill the cups once or twice and let them drain down completely if u haven't done this for a few years, u don't want them full.

[@blave549]

Yup. This has it Goin' On. 8^)

[@MrPantss]

Can I ask is that just a Hammond and Lesley sound, or were there any distortion filters involved? I just love that sound.

[@DanteStar7]

I have a wire coming off the CC terminal of the preamp in the organ like a guitar chord. It runs in to a Trek 2 UC1A then out to the Leslie. I just adjust the controls on the UC1A to sound as overdriven as I want. You could accomplish this same thing many ways.

[@MrPantss]

@@DanteStar7 interesting thank you 🙏

[@protectionman]

Where does all the backup music come from?

[@eldkir]

Any chance of you doing a how-to video?

[@DanteStar7]

I have gotten too busy to do videos, sorry but if I remember correctly I think several people have asked questions about how I did this song. If you read the previous comments you may find them helpful. If there is anything more specific that you would like to know' I will be glad to reply. Thanks for commenting on the video!

[@eldkir]

Thank you for the quick reply! I'm doing my best to learn it by ear. That ascending, rapid repeated note/chord part is rough. Any suggestions on how to master that technique besides endless hours of practice?

[@DanteStar7]

That part is tough. I am sure I am not doing the chords right there. Very difficult to pick them up and I never found another recording/video of Jon Lord doing that solo original solo. I did see one video of him holding his right wrist using his left hand. That did not work for me so i came up with what I did. I think what I did captures the spirit of the solo but it is not what he did. A friend of mine in the Rock and Roll Hammond Players Facebook group does a nice version as well. facebook.com/groups/174576959545744/ His name is Dennis Toerpe. I think that is how you spell it. Let me know how your quest to conquer the song goes.

[@eldkir]

Thank you, sir! Dennis is great, and that Hammond group is really cool too!

[@142960012301]

Holy Shit

[@daytraderebh]

Where are the rest of the tracks?

[@DanteStar7]

I'm not sure I understand Ray.

[@52guitarbob]

Magic fingers.

[@mrektor]

MAKE AN HOW TO!!!!

[@IronPepito]

like a french man would say : "fingers in the nose"
