[HAM] Greg Rollie

[goffmac747 at aol.com]

  I saw Gregg play some months back and talked with the man after the show. Stock, stock, stock. uses in ear monitors to hear his leslie parked 30 feet away. His sound is in his drawbar settings. Although I also talked with a hammond tech from san diego as he worked on my B3 and told me he went to Gregg's house and saw some monster leslies that made horrendous noises. But nahhh, when i saw him, sat behind him off stage and next to his leslie. its him just as he sounds on his records all these years. No mumbo jumbo, hi falutin extras. its his settings and i know how he does it.. Hi John. love my leslie...

I thought I read an interview with Rolie in Keyboard magazine where he 
talked about using a Bill Beer chop to get that trademark sound...

  Drew,
  I think you may have read incorrectly. As I understand it, Rolie never used a 
chop by anybody. He liked pretty much stock B's and Leslies, knows how to play 
them and those are what are produced his trademark sound. Heresay is that on 
Samba Pa Ti that great Hammond sound was a BC but I can't remember where I heard 
that. It wasn't from Greg though so don't put too much stock in that statement. 
I do know he did not use chops very often if at all, and I am somewhat familier 
with who does. Take care.------John Haburay.
