Jordan Rudess and Jack Hotop play Korg OASYS 88, M3, M50-88 at Winter NAMM 2009

[georgiacopguy]

I wonder what Ronald Jenkees could do with that board...

[lovescarguitar]

sorry but as soon as i heard that drumset come it. it annoyed me and ruined jordans wonderful music. that snare bothers me.

[TheMindOfPat]

I notice that Korg put this same backing track into the Triton Extreme demo package, so that you can pretend you're Jordan at home, even if you could "only" afford a new $2000 Triton Extreme, instead of a new $8000 OASYS. :)

[Robbinsffxi]

Jordan won't admit, it's actually the Snorling Rudess xD

[sax0tenor]

[Synthesized13]

[freemusic1979]

[Slashe50]

"Ra" was written in inspiration of Jordan's own life. Yeah. He's the sun.

[UnforgivingCritic]

i wanna smack the guy who fixed Jordan Rudess' microphone in the fucking face.

[UnforgivingCritic]

Jack Hotop dares to play at a DREAM THEATER level, he's brain is like getting raped 200000 times a second.. :D

[Irockman1]

While playing this video I turned around to see my cat levitating above my bed. This must have been caused by the wizard himself. According to my calculations, ff I start now I may be able to surpass Jordan Rudess in wizardry keyboard playing skills by the time I'm 1952 years of age. In due time, Jordan. I just hope I'm immortal. ;_;

[UnforgivingCritic]

dude, I'm so noob if i start now I'd surpass Jordan for how long Tutankhamen is dead.

[SlayerJab0r]

hes a fucking god!

[lordcroesus]

Extra schmutz!

[drkmonkey7]

I own a M-50 and I hope to achieve greatness like Jordan Ruddess but give it a much more darker approach

[mysticradio]

im surprised Jordan doesnt take OPEN LABS Neko on stage.....

[Asovito]

DT music will never die!

[raizenron]

i wish dream theater were immortal so we can hear great music forever

[UnforgivingCritic]

lol, use the shortcut, "i wish everybody of us were immortal, so we could enjoy DT music ever.."

:)

[German18DT]

Jordan is the man.

Dream Theater forever! whooaa!!

[beatngu1]

i seen him played bass guitar, piano and more.. And he is a .. Jordan!! GREEEAT!

[AchillesOrion]

Since I live in Anaheim, CA, the site of NAMM09, I was fighting every urge to not bust through the wall and fight all coming security in an attempt to meet Jordan Rudess.

Sadly, I didn't. But I would not blame any man who tried. Jordan Rudess is amazing.

[mysticradio]

i thought this was some BIG '''open' archetecture system.. they dont seem to have done much in 2 years...... you think their sounds would have evolved... like waldorf type filters... novation types.... doesnt look like development has advanced to me...... correct me if im wrong.. ''besides' the new interface........ im taking SOUND

[izzycroptik]

The snarling pig hahaha

[fluentinsound]

JR is the height of cool. we need more people like him who arent classically trained pianists who hate rock and synths, or crap pianists who love messing around with synths. the two worlds combine in JR. sophisticated and cool.

[Sarrgas]

As far as I know, Jordan Rudess IS a classically trained pianist :P

But fortunate for us, he switch to keyboards instead :)

[fluentinsound]

if you read what i wrote carefully, i said he wasnt a classically trained pianist who hates rock and synths, or a crap pianist who likes rock and synths. meaning... he's a classically trained pianist who likes rock and synths. this makes him a virtuoso synther. i think all piansts should play keyboards, you have your piano patch, and then a world of sound for your trained fingers to play around with. shame most good pianists are snotty and traditional and wont expand to modern keyboardry

[Sarrgas]

Ah, I missed out the "The 2 Worlds combine in JR"... Whoops ^^

[francis2626]

yeah..i remember him saying "in my world, everything is complex"..

[mulanovich]

Keyboard Madness DVD explianing the sound he uses for Beyond this life!

correct me if im wrong =P haha

[ihasakiwi]

you, my friend, have said it perfectly. i am a pianist who enjoys nothing more than to sit at a grand and just play away, but i have an m50-88 and love dream theater and shredding synth. thank you.

[StreamOfMetal]

Totally agree with u, im a classical trained pianist, and I love the fuckin sinth world!!!! ; )

[DTRemcoG]

But there are good reasons for it. Because a digital piano sound will not be as expressive as a good piano. A synth only has got like 128 velocity layers. And it just always sounds worse then a real piano. So classical pianists just choose what works best for them, which is an acoustic (grand)piano.

[UnforgivingCritic]

it's the same sound. depending on the synth you use.. not all synths are just the same as you view them.

[ElPopularVale]

Jordan rudess should take a step back and really see what he's playing, basically scales up and down and finish with a bending, I mean, c'mon man take some time to first think what you're going to play instead of just mechanical memorized patterns. There hasn't been something really remarkable since the blind faith piano solo in SDOIT.

[2428musiclover]

love jordan and love oasys

[ZSatanica666]

I fUCKING SECOND THAT!!!UPDATE THE FUCKING SEQUENCER!!! WHAT THE FUCK??? 16-BIT AND ONLY 16-TRACKS?!?!? IN 2009??? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT STUPID SHIT? YEAH, AND COUPLED WITH A 40GB HD + 2GB RAM + CD-RW??? ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME???

[death241]

wat is that song that start from 7:16 ? please tell me...

[drowningpoolv2]

It's called RA

[jojosa234789]

It's on the album Rythm of Time

[aaioo]

KORG , UPDATE THE OASYS SEQUENCER !!!

[tk110utube]

Bigtriece I have an Oasys and I have Logic8 . You don't know what you are talking about. The Oasys sound is perhaps the best money can buy even though Korg has discontinued it...

[KP11520]

Does Jack have his own YouTube account? Jack and some members of my family go back from a long time ago. It would be nice to catch up!

[bigtriece100]

It's a shame the Oasys is outdated and sounds like garbage compared to softsynths like Reason, Logic 8, Omnisphere etc..

[synastikki]

but it is not a software synth.... Some players don't rely on softsynths especially when playing live. The hardware world has more limitations than the software world so that's why most of the HW synths doesn't sound as good as some softsynths.

[chrisbDTM]

BLOBVANDAM

[ballademaker]

jordan rudess plays serious music too, but in the music industry there most be show to keep attention to the audience thats why play those music parts he do. but if you go to his forum he learn you all he shows you in his shows on namm and on his consert. so good luck copy him, i have no luck, but i play on my skills

[gryzman]

what a crap music. seriously, all these shows guys play crap 'show' music...

[AkIChAn432]

at least for me, rudess is the best keyboardist, and ra is my favorite song from him so... if that is "crap" what is "good" then?

btw.. i dont consider it show music, they do complex music because they know how to.. and they have fun while playing

[valleisetesdal]

Yeah, but we use something called "sense of humor"...

Or do we??

[OrientExpressMB]

He's human guys, nothing incredible, you must study hard, nothing more. I'm a music teacher, so I know what I'm talking about.

[CoolGuy64]

I agree with this statement. Jordan IS human. He is AMAZINGLY talented and skilled. One of the best I've ever seen. ANYONE that puts in the time and effort like JR does can achieve his skill level, too. He isn't god, he's just an amazing musician that's doing what he loves and getting paid. The ONLY reason why so few people can play like him is because they limit themselves. If YOU had the drive that JR does, you'd be just as good. It's that simple. NOTHING is impossible with the mind.

[CoolGuy64]

I will say this about JR on top of everything I wrote already:

He is SO GOOD, it's ridiculous! lol It is mind blowing, but like I said, if you have the drive that JR does, you can and will be just as good.

[Kurotora86]

hah incredible :) can't wait to see how the 3D animation works on tour.

[exxagerator]

THE GOD OF KEYBOARD

[milorudess]

There's no way he can be a human!

[McDrummerSLR]

I was there!!!
