2017 NEA Jazz Master and legendary Hammond organist Dr. Lonnie Smith plays the new Hammond XK5 Traditional Pro System at the 2016 Summer NAMM show. More information about the XK5: Recorded through a Leslie 3300W with two Audio Technica ATM450 condenser mics on the top rotor, an Audio Technica ATM25 on the bottom rotor, and a feed from the 3300W's sub output into a Steinberg UR44 connected to an iPad mini running Steinberg's Cubasis amp. Minimal processing (some reverb and light limiting). UPDATE Sept 29, 2021: The great Dr. Lonnie Smith has made his transition. I'd like to just say one thing about this video... the XK5 was a new product at the time and had yet to be fully tweaked. So yes, the keyclick is a bit egregious and the tone isn't just like a vintage Hammond. It is much better now, since the product has been fully realized. But none of that matters. Listen to what the maestro is playing. This is a masterclass in jazz org
