Hey All,

Wanted to shout out to this community and say HELLO!
I've been touring like crazy with Dream Theater but now I'm home for the holidays and then heading to the NAMM show before hitting the road again.. It's so great to be at home and hanging in my home studio. Always a great time to check out new virtual instruments, play my Steinway, jam on my iPad and enjoy my Wizdom Music world..
I'll post some links in the coming weeks of me jamming with some of the new sounds!! Now to check out what you guys are talking about!!

Jordan

This is a funny coincidence. I was just listening to Train Of Thought.

Nice to have you here Jordan. Welcome! Considering the virtual instrument masteries you have, KVR is a perfect place for you to chill (and probably spread the wealth of knowledge, eh?). Enjoy the place!

We talk about yourself and Phil Collins sometimes.

Hard to believe that you've only made 2 posts since 2004. Must have been a looooooooooooooooooooooooog tour.

2 posts since 12 Oct, 2004

Y'all act like you never seen Dream Theater before!
Jaws all on the floor like John Petrucci just burst in the door...

Their biggest US single. Great stuff!

Oh, by the way, Jordan was not yet with the band when this song hit the charts.

You are right- but I've played those songs SO MANY TIMES that I feel a part of them!

Also the next tour we are heading out on in February will be a celebration of that whole album. Images Words and Beyond....

I was turned onto Dream Theater, ironically, by a member of my church. This was when my daughter was 8. That was 20 years ago.

We're about the same age and have almost all the same influences on keyboard. Sadly, I never became very good at playing and ended up becoming a composer. Come to think of it, not very good at that either. lol.

Anyway, was just yanking your chain before with the "Who is Jordan Rudess" remark. In fact, I can't believe you're actually here and chatting with us.

You sir, are a legend.

Keep on rocking.
