Lesson transcript
Music Lesson: Percussion Techniques
Introduction: "The last one. Live the life of love, love life I live."
Percussion Technique:
Let's try the percussion on again.
Observations:
- "What have I done there?"
- For this one, I think I'm going to:
- Take the lower manual sound down a little bit
- Maybe take some of the four off
Sound Assessment:
To me, that just sounds a bit thin up there.
- Down there, it would be too low.
You might want to see there.
- "I went for that."
- As I would play it down there, it just sounds too thin.
Addressing Anomalies:
Sometimes you get those kinds of anomalies.
- You think it's just lacking kind of guts a bit.
But you can get pretty close to on this, so I'll stay further down.
- That can be quite handy.
It's quite close to your left hand, so you can nip up there and still be playing a chord.
- "So that works quite well."
Using Drawbars:
So those three, I think you can get very close to.
- If you had a preamp, you could always put those in the Leslie as well.
That gets you a lot closer because you've got that meaty valve amp and also the actual physical movement, which is the whole thing, really.
Conclusion:
But, yeah, those first four drawbars, those kinds of tones, you can get very close.

Joe Glossop is a keyboard player from Sheffield who has made his name on the Hammond organ. He currently holds the organ chair in Tom Jones's touring band, and has played with Van Morrison and James Hunter, as well as on piano and Rhodes. His courses get the real Hammond sound out of any keyboard - drawbar registration, the Leslie, the walking-bass left hand, and the comping and soloing vocabulary of the soul-jazz, blues and rock organ traditions, from Jimmy Smith to Booker T.
