 Fun
gig, haven't played with the HIX in a year, used the QS8.2 live for the
first time, the weighted wooden key hammer action simulates a grand piano
enough to make the practical logistics of playing as much like a drumset
as it does an organ, if not more. The role of New Orleans boogie woogie
octave piano bass and high plinky plinky saloon piano in rock and roll is
very hi-hat and hand drum in execution, its fun to play a solo without
ever playing any real melody, just finger bongos on the top two octaves of
the 88 piano. Its also fun to wait for a hole in the vocals and just roll
your hand down the keys like you're opening a doorknob pretty fast, it
makes your hand play a descending quintuplet curlie-Q that sounds like a
classic cheesedick piano cliche. The wood gets the right kind of rolling
motion under your right hand, it sounds like an Eddy Arnold record. Two
live keyboardists is the shit, especially
if the other guy is RB
Blackstone its like Pink Floyd sittin' in with Buck Owens
and the Buckaroos.
