Imagine what this guy could do if he actually owned a keyboard rather than just practice in music stores.

Jordan Rudess after playing anything: "hehe"

[@johnnyquest6115]

Every store owner is looking at Mr. Rudess playing and thinking to themselves, "Buy something, you bastard!"

[@TheSandell]

I have been a firm believer that when he isn't touring or recording in the studio, he just roams the world looking for keyboards to play in public

[@MaimiZhang]

Jordan Rudess is one of my inspiration to continue my keyboard learning despite being lazy on practice.

[@mylifeisafuckingmeme]

I love seeing these videos so much. That bright smile he gives whenever he finishes playing on a keyboard, just beautiful.

[@musicdev]

Imagine being able to wake up every day as Jordan Rudess...I'm jealous

[@LittleRedRidingHoo]

Every instruments have been played by Rudess should have its price raised.

[@gabrielwalker4411]

Yes

[@recoverytips6541]

I'm confident this guy is sitting near the top of improvisational artists today, as far as sheer practice volume and technical ingenuinity. He seems completely unprecedented and unique, yet his influence is ubiquitous.

[@JuanGonzalez-bf1ou]

I died when Jordan played Tarkus

[@einarabelc5]

[@theempires5]

Maybe he should audition for Dream Theatre 🤔

[@juicebox_music]

Okay, so Tokyo just has 6 or 7 music stores on every other street. They have it going on.

[@pfontaine23]

I miss 48th Street in NYC as well. I can't remember if it was Sam Ash or Manny's but I was there on a weekday afternoon in the late 1980's or early 1990's when an entire entourage came into the store. Of course it drew everyone's attention and we all realized that Stevie Wonder had come in to try out some new keyboards. Amazing!

[@DaddyMouse]

Damn that must have been amazing to witness

[@atabish3031]

Awesome keyboard player..his addition to DT was like Neil Peart to Rush. Major Upgrade

[@Tetasha]

Wise words

[@jaymacdonnell4730]

From a technical perspective Jordan definitely outshines Moore and Sherinian. But there's something to be said about that classic Dream Theater sound. Sound sampling, neo-classical shred, and a more avant-garde approach. Now they're just another run-of-the-mill symphonic metal band, like Dimmu Borgir or Symphony X.

[@atabish3031]

Jay MacDonnell Portnoy s Exit changed the band Mangini is great drummer but Portnoy was the essence of that band was his baby he's very happy now with the success of the Winery Dog's that's for sure it's what he wanted guess 25 years of prog was enough he accomplished much in his career youngest drummer to be inducted into the Drummers Hall Of Fame that alone is something though I think Marco Minnerman should have got that gig he clearly had the chemistry with the band shame would have been a different sound for sure with him behind the kit

[@jaymacdonnell4730]

We're talking about Rudess not Portnoy. Portnoy's influence is undeniable. He founded the band. Rudess coming in 14 years after DT started is a little different. He's a symphonic, classic prog guy, influenced by groups like Genesis, ELP, King Krimson, Deep Purple and of course his own classical Julliard background. DT is and always has been a group with the heaviness of Metallica and the creative, technicality of Rush. So incorporating Jordan's style was a gradual process.

[@atabish3031]

Jay MacDonnell Yes this is true guy is amazing keyboard player and those influences you mentioned are evident

[@jebroz4810]

did they realized a god just visiting around the shop? lol

[@MrBeen992]

***** With my thumb in my anus I can do more true music than Jordan Rudess with any instrument. They guy is super overrated cause hes not a real musician, just a keyboard technical nerd.

[@MicroBuddy5]

You'll think twice if you just go listen to his work.

[@MrBeen992]

***** Are you saying that listening to him live will be a different experience than listening him playing on youtube ?

[@MicroBuddy5]

I just don't understand how you think his piano skills can't compare to your thumb in your ass. He's really good, while you might not love the type of music he creates, he's still plays fast and steady and knows his music better than anyone else I've seen. Don't call him shit considering where he's gone with his talent.

[@MrBeen992]

***** "he plays fast and steady" SEE ??? you know shit about music. Sorry but youre wasting my time.

[@ubernate860]

[@delscoville]

I remember a small music instrument shop in Bremerton, WA. I stopped there the first time and playing a few keyboards and pianos and the owner came out to talk to me, and even meeting me the first time, he gave me an acoustic piano, even delivered to my place that was outside of town on the other side of the sound. Told me all I had to do was do a gig with him. Was sad to hear the store isn't around anymore.

[@LHondrums]

It must be a great feeling to know that probalby every owner of a keyboard store knows your face and name :D
