I would leave because there is no Yamaha in his studio.

Years ago, when I worked at Kurzweil Music Systems in Lakewood,WA, I repaired Mr. Rudess's K2600. The power supply fried in it. I'll admit, I got a bit nosy and checked out his samples and patches. Gotta test it thoroughly, right? Very cool stuff and Mr. Rudess seemed like good people.

My dad played the keys. One of my biggest regrets is that I didn't start sooner, otherwise he could have taught me. He is on his way out right now. I'm pretty sure he was a fan of Dream Theater. He played in Aurora (cover band), Mr. Clean & the Clean Machines and a couple others in Seattle. I'm feeling pretty sentimental rn, clearly. He apparently owned a DX7 so I guess that means I will be doing some hardcore FM. I gotta do it like he did and play jazz like my grandparents. The music will not die with him.

Thank for the tour of your studio, and yes my Kronos is the heart of my studio as well.

I love this band so much. Every member is such a nice and knowledgable guy.

Jordan is truly amazing and deserves being voted top global keyboardist on numerous lists, his technique and composition skills are stellar and he believes in giving back to other keyboardists, we should all aspire to be as proficient as he is

I love how Jordan loves his music and showing his machines that he plays on. He is one of the few guys that makes this really exciting and fun everytime.

Thank you, for the tour!

Imagine having the luxury of that audio engineer in the background to be able to say "oh that's Jordan, there he goes again with his keyboards".

Thanks so much for sharing your passion for synths !

I have watched this video 3 years back, and I didn't knew much about synthesizers and stuff. now watching this again after getting a fair share of knowledge on the instruments, its history, and even owning an analog synth, its really enjoyable watching it again.

I'm not even a keyboardist,I'm a drummer.But for some reason unknown,I enjoy watching keyboard vids.Not as much as drum vids but I still enjoy them.And JR is a legend. One thing I know,if there were no drums in this world,I'd be a keyboardist.

this guys so cool and organized

I just love hearing this guy play. I dig all the sounds these fantastic keyboards make. It's an even bigger pleasure listening to someone who can play them.

Very interesting tour - thank you !

In a way they are retro and sometimes cheesy sounding but it works super well for the style he plays.

i'm more of an analog guy but Jordan really has a nice collection of analog and digital synths for a very wide spectrum of various sounds, great studio and choice of gear.

crasy stuff!! really special keyboards!!

YOU ARE A MONSTER!!!!!! Nice one man! Keep up the phenomenal work Jordan!

Glad you're a fan of the Radias - very under-rated.

I know it's stupid, but I cracked up at 3:23! "The Melotron had great sounds..." "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Great video! Merci Jordan and Musician's Friend!

Simply amazing🥰🙌🏻

got some great skills

Could this be the most capable musician of our era? Amazing.

Hi Jordan! I LOVED the Tour. I'm an old school drummer from the late 60's out of the SF Bay Area. John Bowen was my bass player. He has his own Synth Design Line. I remember him bringing the MinMoog to rehearsal even BEFORE IT CAME OUT (in ancient times). I believe he worked with Dave Smith, and at Korg also. The Prophet 5, Sequential Circuits has Bowen's fingerprints all over it. John is a good Buddy of mine and we are still gigging, but in different states. Keep INSPIRING US!!

With Great works Always .. Salute U Sir

Really enjoyed this video and I'm not a keys player.

Great video!!!!!!

Jordan gives some mad props to the “very striking” Studiologic Sledge 2.0 at 05:40 and really plays the hell out of it, but he never mentions what it actually IS!! It’s the only instrument he demos here where he fails to mention the brand or model of the instrument itself. It’s almost as if someone (MF?) slipped it in there just before the video shoot without him seeing and he just rolled with it playing it for the first time not even knowing what it was. “It’s got big knobs” and “fun wheels”. LOL

It seems his neck-muscles went Hulk because of the constant looking down on the keys.

I want to meet this man, and see all of these GLORIOUS synths.

Lovely!

awesome how Korg has told him to totally ignore the OASYS so the customers think KRONOS is totally a new product haha.

i miss that k2600. whenever i see one, i think of jordan :)

You feel bad for Jordan? What's wrong with having a guy mix your synths while you do a professionally shot interview? Would you not rather have a guy help you out with such stuff? Oh wait, you aren't yet as famous as he is so you probably can't afford one. No offense, your album was very nice, I'm a dreamwave fan. :) But still, cut him some slack, he obviously plays much better than we do with those puny Juno-106s of ours. :)
