 | "Throwing Fire" -- Re-Uploaded (better audio this time!) my first CD: http://www.ronaldjenkees.com/music-store **Second CD is taking a bit longer than I expected (but a few downloads will come first) SUPER FUN TIME WITH THIS JAM!!!! Thanks a lot for watching! Hope you liked it. Kindof a rough cut, but it's always fun. This video is dedicated to the band Papa Roach for letting me check out their studio and giving me a place to stay in LA. Those are some hard-working rockers and good guys. I got cold chills listening to the songs they're working on for their new album. I think it's coming out really soon. My friend Sam gave me the hat I'm wearing in this vid. It's made of 100% recycled material. Can't beat that. Here's their site: http://www.livity.org I'm using FL Studio software to make the beat in the background and a Korg Triton Le keyboard on top, Motif XS8 on bottom. |
 | "stay crunchy" - messin with an e-piano sound buy this song: http://www.ronaldjenkees.com/2008/08/16/stay-crunchy-youtube-jam/ buy my first CD: http://www.ronaldjenkees.com/music-store **second CD due in December This is another one in the very early stages, but it's fun to jam with. I messed with it quite a bit before I filmed, but each time it came out drastically different. LOL I used FL Studio 8 and my Motif XS8 to make this one. The sound I'm using is actually an e-piano (patch is called "Drive EP AS1" on the Motif XS series. I adjusted the distortion and delay to make it sound like it is. Thanks again for watching and being a subscriber to my vids!! |
 | The Rocky song Remixed Download the MP3 from my CD: http://www.ronaldjenkees.com/music-store Here's the original song on Amazon MP3 ("gonna fly now" by Bill Conti): http://www.amazon.com/Gonna-Fly-Now/dp/B000QODEEY/ref=sr_f2_1?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1200174852&sr=102-1 LOL. Not a perfect rendition by any means, but man does it get me so pumped up to play this. Time to go punch some stuff I guess. |
 | The Fast Song - a piano jam (this'll be on my next CD) My CD: http://www.ronaldjenkees.com/music-store This is one my friends always ask me to play when we see a piano out. It's tons of fun. |
 | A fun beat from outer space (an experimental improv jam) Preview my CD: http://ronaldjenkees.com/music-store/ This beat is in the very early stages. As a matter of fact, there are only two chords being played in the background. But it's fun to jam out to. Also, this will be on my next CD (out hopefully in the summer). Thanks for watching, folks!!! |
 | messin with a guitar sound (will be on my next CD) my music store: http://www.ronaldjenkees.com/music-store **this tune will be on my next CD - I came up with this jam recently so I don't have it available yet. thanks for all the emails and interest in it! can't wait til it's done (hopefully in December). just havin some fun with a guitar sound (Hard Ramp AS1&2) on the Motif XS8. Some have asked about the "low notes" that come out when I hit those two keys up top - those are guitar effects built in the patch and for whatever reason, Yamaha put those effects on the high keys. I made the background beat using FL Studio. I start the beat by hitting the space-bar on my computer keyboard before I play on the synth. PS. I've read some reviews of this vid as if I'm trying to be a "keytar" player (apparently not a desirable thing, but how can you not like Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein") and that I should just play a real guitar. LOL @ some of those same people who probably play guitar hero (nothing against it but hopefully you see my point)! The irony! The point is, folks, if you find a fun/inspiring sound to jam with, by all means, you should JAM WITH IT! I don't care if you find a $3.00 plastic trumpet. Don't worry about the technicalities and what people say. In the long run it's about the fun that YOU have making music. Thanks for watching!!! |
 | STS9 Collab - Using their drums to jam with!! FUN! Zach, the drummer for the band STS9, asked me to remix a song of theirs. His drums from "Beyond Right Now" ended up inspiring me to make a whole new tune. I'll update here when I know where/when it'll be available to download. I got a ton of emails from friends telling me to check these guys out so I was excited when they contacted me and I owe thanks to them for inspiring me to create this collab tune. They have some great jamz and interesting sounds. Check them out: http://www.sts9.com My Second album is still in the works - taking longer than I thought. Albums are tough when you're going about it by yourself. LOL. But so far so good. I'm truckin along and HOPING for a December digital release (unfortunately a physical CD will be available 6 weeks after I release the digital copy). you can download my first album here: http://www.ronaldjenkees.com/music-store |
 | rannndom improv jams - some hip hop & some funk/techno My CD: http://www.ronaldjenkees.com/music-store These are really two songs in 1 but they evolved in the same FL Studio project (2 different days). That's how it goes sometimes - might have to make it into two different beats since they're so different. They keyboard I'm using here is the Yamaha Motif XS8, which is the weighted-key version of the XS series (I'm finding I'm not a fan of weighted keys for most stuff besides piano). More on that in another video where I'll play some stuff I'm sequencing purely on the board (very different and confusing to me). Thanks for watching/commenting/subscribing, folks! |
