Jazz and Pop Drawbar Registrations

With Hammond Drawbars, any harmonic may be emphasized individually or eliminated completely. Even

the fundamental may be eliminated. Because of this fact, many unusual and striking effects can be

developed.

This is a very popular combination used by many pop organists. The effect of two harmonics five octaves

apart gives a beautiful tone color for playing slower songs or ballads.

There are many Drawbar combination which are not imitative of any instrument, but which are immediately

recognized as "Hammond Sounds." The basic Hammond Organ jazz sound is obtained with the first three

Drawbars, such as 88 8000 000. When the last white Drawbar is used along with the first three Drawbars,

a very pleasing effect is created. For playing slower songs, you can wish to try a little less of the last white

Drawbar - for example, 88 8000 005. The 8th harmonic will still be heard, but will not be as prominent.
