MODERN DRAWBAR REGISTRATIONS

The Drawbar registration patterns shown on the previous page are intended to
simulate the four basic families of tone found on a classical pipe organ, since this was
the original intention of the Hammond Organ. Later on, as the Hammond Organ
began to be used in Jazz, Pop and Rock music, other sounds became identifi ed with the
“Hammond Sound.” Th

e fi gures below illustrate some of these modern registrations.

APPLICATION OF PERCUSSION

When Percussion is used, the sound of the 1

´

Drawbar is cancelled just as it is on vintage organs
(B-3, C-3, A-100, M-3, etc.). Some jazz organists
have taken advantage of this idiosyncrasy by
keeping the 1’ Drawbar pulled out and turning
Percussion “ON” and “OFF” while playing. The
result is an instantaneous registration change with
a single motion.
