RJCD5 is in progress now and for me, it doesn't get much more fun than this jam. I always like making music, but this one was just particularly fun to play and work on, and thankfully (and finally), I got it on camera. I worked like crazy on it, and already miss working on it. That's something to be thankful for in itself I guess. Anywho, thanks for checking out my tunes - I truly do appreciate it! Be sure to support other artists you like (bandcamp happens to be great place to do that). It goes a long way. Even a super small purchase. THANKS AGAIN! Back to work on RJCD5. :)
Thanks to Lorrin Liang for her album art, and thanks to the folks at Image-Line Software for making FL Studio 12 so awesome. Also thanks to Jason Wishnov of Iridium Studios and T-Nevs (a good friend) for their help on RJCD4. They were amazing w/ their constant feedback (I'm talking like 3-4AM type feedback - really appreciated it). :)

First!
***** Welcome Back!
***** Second ^^
***** So glad to see you again!!!
***** You are so talented man, every time you come out with something new it just blows my mind.
***** just like that ...
You are definitely one of a kind, you know that? XD
The king is back.
Ed Bassmaster cant wait for your show man
He never left the CD player in my bathroom..
kbfootball811 Same here!
Well would you just look at this.
Mrayis100 Haha
GET IT!
BdoubleO100 bdubs in the house
BdoubleO100 not surprised to see you here.
BdoubleO100 man im so happy this dude is back!
BdoubleO100 I GOT IT, BDUBS!
BdoubleO100 YEEE MY BOY
this man is so seriously underrated. would pay money to see him live, dude can actually PLAY
I don’t think underrated means what you think it does.
Just buy his music bro
Hes not underrated.. hes just smart and lowkey.. guy has done jingles for the super bowl n shit... hes got bags.. you've heard shit from him and you don't even know it.
@@PrimordialEconomics He's 100% underrated. Underrated implies he should be heard more and exposed to more. He's not a "big name" he should be. You will be lucky if you ever meet someone who knows who the hell is?
I usually get, "Oh that Warcraft guy that runs into battle!?" ...No, that's Leeroy. That's sort of the problem he's done some jingles, and you don't even know who it's by. But probably know Leeroy, depending on your age.
Just a question how do you know he has bags? What's considered bags? A million? Or 10's? Because I'll be surprised if he has over 1.5 million with all his net worth combined. I never got the feeling he cared much about it in general.
@@itsyourenotyour9101 x2 I'm with you man
Ronald's neighbors NEVER complain about the loud music, legend says.
lol
+SuperRiki81 I heard they write letters to complain when he isn't producing.
+SuperRiki81 When Jenkees' neighbors hear loud music they don't shut their windows and tell him to keep it down, they open the windows and tell him to crank it up.
+SuperRiki81 In fact, they call the popo if the music stops. Just to make sure he is okay ;)
+SuperRiki81 bob memes neighbours always complain, am i rite
Man, I've been a fan of yours for years. Me and all my friends here at my studio. I'm so beyond thrilled to see you're still making music. You are truly an amazing musician, dude. Can't wait to hear more.
Ten Second Songs You should do a collaboration with Ronald! :)
Revisiting this track and realizing that another great musician/singer I follow also likes Ronald. Awesome.
I hope Ronald lives forever making saucy beats for us peasants to enjoy
lol
No kidding.
+Andrew Pelayo agreed
+Andrew Pelayo Perfect profile picture for this comment
+Andrew Pelayo sweet jesus are you right. LONG LIVE THE JENKEES
One of my favorite things about Ronald Jenkees is that every second he's playing he looks like he's having the absolute best time of his goddamn life. The pure joy and excitement and freedom comes blazing through his music and is impossible to keep from rubbing off on you.
Very well said! It is so wonderful to witness pure flow! It does something to the soul
Welcome back Ronald, the world's been a really shitty place while you weren't making music
hectymcc We mainly hear the bad these days, but it's not all bad out there. I'm always making tunes but not always making videos (I know, I need to make more videos). I avoid facebook for the most part, but I do update my website, soundcloud, and sometimes twitter more often. You can always email me, too ;) ronaldjenkees@gmail.com
***** Wow, it just means a lot to hear back from you man. You're a great guy and I just can't wait to see what you have in store for us fans
***** thanks for letting your email here!
+ronaldjenkees YOURE ON SOUNDCLOUD???????? ive been living under a rock
he´s right, the world has been a shitty place
The keyboard king
DjEphixa Finally found you!
DjEphixa UPVOTE
DjEphixa The penguin king
DjEphixa EPHIXA!
DjEphixa found you while looking through random videos, here's my upvote
So excited to see you make a return! Can't wait for the new album!
***** I always get warm fuzzy feelings seeing his joy at doing this.
***** Me too.
Would it be corny to say it's one of the greatest joys I can experience on the internet?
If so, I don't care. I love the Jenkees.
Yes, it's so good to see another Ronald Jenkees live jam on youtube.
My doctor prescribed this video to me. He recommended watching this video 3-5 times per week at a minimum. I haven’t been back to the doctor since 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm shivering with joy...
bought it!
OMG SAME!
I'm shaking
Look at him. He's just having the time of his life making music; a true artist.
He friggen feels it
This dude should do live shows. People would go nuts. I could see him on the live stage of Ultra perhaps.
Damn right, I'd book a ticket to the US just for that.
Living beings are not capable of withstanding the awesome of Ronald Jenkees in person, thus he shares the only way he can safely.
My dream would be to see him perform live. Just hearing it pumped through huge speakers in a room full of other fans with the man himself right there... wow.
Oh dude . . . Seeing RJ in show would be too much for my heart. too much want . . .
YES. this is some daft punk level shit.
One of the greatest musical artists on the planet.
Spot on!
Faxxxxx
hes it the others just dont know it bruh
Истина! Лучше не скажешь!
Why isn't this dude not more popular than Deadmau5
than who?
Don't hate on deadmaus, he's decent. Ronald is pretty neat though
@@cespedesgarcia this isnt a hate comment
hes implying that this guy is so good that he should be way more famous than he is now.
Ronald is the man! One of a kind. Hope you continue to succeed brother!
Double negative, lol. Soooo, you asked why he IS more famous then deadmau5. Grammar powice
You know RJ is an absolute madman when you look closely and see he's recording audio into Edison, not even recording the MIDI out from the controllers. Dude full sends everything, skills unmatched. Nobody quite like you man, you're a legend! Glad to see you're back at it.
RJ in God mode.
I've been listening to this guy for almost a decade and I've never heard anything close to his sound
Righttt
maaaan after 10 years im back and its more magical then ever!
We are waiting for you, from Russia with love!
Yo Same Here Man Is A Legend On The Keyboards
I love how much he gets into his music
I remember watching your videos back in 2006 when I was in ninth grade. Time has flown. It's awesome to see you still posting quality and that you haven't changed. Keep it up!
***** what! you watch Jenkees, too!?
+Michael Kory "STill posting" That insinuates hes always been, these are his first two in years lol.. Trust me, ive been missing his videos. Was sad when he decided to drop youtube to do other things instead of making one here and there for us along the way when he got discovered.
Michael Kory Same. Stay Crunchy lol.
Yeah same. Also watching him in high school between 2006-2008.
This is like magic to someone who can't play any instrument.
Definitely :D
+Fire Hazard Studios I've been playing synth for many years and this is still magic to me.
This is like magic to people who can play instruments too! ;P
Love your sub videos Jive!!!
I play like four and this is downright witchcraft.
I haven't listened to this in waaaay too long. Ronald's music is always a ray of sunshine in a world that is far too dim recently.
I was just thinking the same thing!!! 🙌🏼
Man almost nothing except for his stuff catches my throat man. I mean its insane. It is...literally insane to watch.
Fancy meating ACG here. Although, I should expect as much from a man who has such an excellent ear pallet for video game sound and music.
Clayton Sturm ... and voice
holy shit it's ACG!
How could anyone dislike this crunchy beat?
The voice and face at the start
nah people are jealous
+SkyBox yeah. those dislikes are for other wannabes who can't produce this effortlessly like our man RJ
HILARIOUS AND ORIGINAL!
Rozlyn Rider ikr crunchy asf :3
Ronald needs to go on tour.
Seems like I come back to Jenkees when ever something major in my life changes. I guess I'm just saying thanks man. You're an inspiration.
Same.
Same my brother !
#this
An underated music producer, is it just me or does this guy deserve more attention?
This man is the ONLY man allowed to wear a fedora. Period.
I concur.
LOL
Also the lead singer from fallout boy
m'Jenkee
GlidingBoulder Wow you're dissing pretty much all Billie Jean, Dangerous, and Smooth Criminal concerts. Jerk.
Heaven's intro theme is different for everyone, but it's always done by Ronald Jenkees.
arxdesigns best comment EVER!!
👍💙🦄💜👾💛🎈
Agreed
arxdesigns Fuck yes.
Hahahahahahahaha
Hell's intro theme is different for everyone but it's also done by RJ as well
This song still going strong 7 years later. Timeless sounds!!! Love it!!
Oh my god... you're like what a DJ SHOULD be. Play this live, make millions please!
Colbion then he wouldn’t be a dj
Too bad he's ugly
@@kova1729 people would still show up in droves . Because thankfully we're not all as shallow as a thimble like you .
@@kova1729 - He's no diva, but being such a dork is like, half of why he's so awesome. He has a fun personality and acts like a total doof, then turns around and drops sick fuckin' beats, it's fantastic. I'd love to see him live.
In 2021 I still get goosebumps and almost teary eyed watching him perform this and listening to his albums. Hoping everything is going well and we miss you dude!
After all those years I came back here and those goosebumps and tears hit me too
Bangerzzz
LOOK HOW MUCH THIS MAN ENJOYS MAKING AWSOME MUSIC!
man, this joint literally just brought tears to my eyes... i remember when there was only one keyboard in the room. look at you now, iyou was great before but now... my goodness!!!
YES! :o
***** :O
eyy wud up pete so may youtubers here!
***** god i love u pete for giving me good music
***** OMG hi pete!!
***** I found this guy thanks to you Pete :D
Such awesome music!
Really been waiting on a new video (for years)... "Welcome back" Ronald!
Oh and yes, I loved it.
Herkko Koskinen Agreed, I have been waiting a few years for him to come back, glad he did...
RONNNNAAAALLLLLLLLLDDDDDDD JENNNNNNNKKKKKEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!
Daniel Millage huehue
Daniel Millage "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
-9000 Screaming Girls
Daniel Millage at least it's not only me thinking of Leeroy Jenkins. But i'll forget him soon
No, I totally heard the same thing in my head hahaha Ronald Jenkees>Leeroy Jenkins though. I've been following this guy for like 10 years he'll blow your mind every time.
Ronald the arpeggio you play on the bridge at 1:50 just blows me away, I could listen to it until the end of time. The variations you embed are perfect and to watch you play it on auto-pilot with that right hand while your mind is on what you need to do with your left hand next just blows me away. Massive what's going on there. Just Massive.
Seriously, when you finally poke that Bb on the last pass of the high arpeggio my mind is totally blown away by it's perfection.
Look, if you ever need a kidney, let me know. ;)
B Miller +1
Yeah, Ronald is The Guy playing arpeggios. I seriously think that was a basis for how he came up playing as largely self taught. He hammered them so much he can do them all over the keyboard, use original and catchy patterns, and it's the basis I think for a lot of his runs... way jealous of that... he really has a seemingly endless gift of Hook.
You'll like this. Ronald has always reminded me of Progtronic. Also came up self taught, just likely a little before Ronald, and became a monster player in his own way. Ended up doing game theme music just like Ronald. Discovered him as winner of Keyboard Magazine's Reader Soundpage contest with a SCORCHING piece he wrote and played on keyboards in '92. He was a happy occupant on MP3.COM before it got bought out and killed off essentially so that we have Bandcamp today... Lots of good artists died with MP3.com...
But check out Aliens Among Us, his seminal work, all played on keyboards by just him: yes, there is ZERO GUITAR on this track.
progtronic.bandcamp.com/track/aliens-among-us
I dare say Jan Hammer would have cringed to hear that back in the day, because Jan was the man back then but Progtronic likely could have filled in for him at any session he was booked into! (Jan did all the Miami Vice stuff...)
AND OMG, that was 1992 for chris' sake and listen to the qualilty of that synthesized distorted guitar he's using (I read he used real guitar effects outboard to get his sound)!!!!
His full story:
www.progtronic.com/about.html
Ronald and Progtronic, that would be a collaboration!
@@brianmi40 hm
@@brianmi40 I'm super stoned and just listened to it and I cannot comprehend how this is possible, let alone in 1993? How does keyboard sound like this and how is he playing this live?
I love hearing how he says "Hello CZcams's!"
Came across jenkees music through Jango! Now that I see this guy's videos, he's so genuine and you can see his passion and love for the music that he makes.
So happy for this guy and how could you not instantly like Ronald, he's such a loveable person!
The greatest compliment I can give to this is that the first time I heard it, it felt like I was already totally familiar with it. By that I don't mean that it was predictable or boring, far from it, I just mean that it was so instantly classic, it just sounded so 'right', that it felt like it was already in my brain, waiting to come out. It takes a great musician to reach into your mind and give voice to the music that is already there.
2008 called, it wants its' epic jams back, nice work Ronald!
I love You.............
ayyyyy ohm! ahaha its nice too see producers comment
Beethoven, Mozart. Brahms...Ronald Jenkee's...truely one of the greats!
never thought I'd be the one to post such a comment, but seriously though, who dislikes such musical perfection ?
This video is incredibly underappreciated.
Every time I finish watching one of your videos, I realize that I have a huge smile plastered across my face. Thanks for the upload, man! You always post the dopest shit.
Ronald is a gift to this planet! Stay humble my friend and nvr stop jamn!
CZcamss has missed you!!!!
Go Ronald! Awesome jamming as usual. It's impossible to end watching one of these without a smile on your face ;)
@ThinkGamer | Animusic Remaker m
Every time I watch one of these, I feel like I am watching something Special. Absolutely stunning Ronald.
your music makes the world brighter and i love you
Ronald you need to know my cat even sits next to me and enjoys your music every single time I turn it on. Keep on keeping on!
+Josh Wolf (GSuitCase) if I had shirts that fit cats I would send you a free cat shirt right now
That's a big
*(Insert picture of a massive thumbs up here)*
Good buddy!
My dog does the same, every time I played a Jenkees track I loved he'd come and sit next to me and paw at me and wag his tail...I guess his beats are that good even animals get it.
You mean right meow? Hahaha. Ok. ill stop.
you kitten me right meow?
I seriously regret not knowing this man's music 10 years ago. Truly some of the best I've ever heard and watching the passion he puts into the videos make them that much more enjoyable to watch
Here we go!
And yeah I plan on covering it )
BearKeys Yaay!
BearKeys Hello Bear!
I swear to God, I was thinking what if I found you here in the comments, and sure enough... haha.
Get it, man!
If everything goes well, the cover should be filmed tomorrow evening.
BearKeys Hellz yeah!
The first Ronald Jenkees song I ever heard. Still my favorite.
I have no words that can adequately express the happiness my ears are feeling right now.
this is the only music that gives me goosebumps in my entire body while crying of joy and hope for humanity at the same time
First of let me start by saying that I really don't comment on anything but I feel a need to tell you what I'm feeling. I have been with you since the beginnings of your channel when that half time show thing that happened got your name out there. You Mr,Jenkees are something els. After hearing the last two albums I was waiting for the old crazy stile to come together with the more mature tunes you have been producing and here it is in all its glory! Bravo to you Mr.Jenkees. Two thumbs and two big tows up for you! :D
I want to add that you are by far my favorite youtube person, genuinely humble and down to the core awesome! The people around you are lucky to have you in their lives Mr.Jenkees. I pray that Allah shine on your path.
Take care and till another comment
Tak
P.S. Keep the insane stuff coming!
Soooo... this guy is a genius. No other way to describe it. I am a very proficient piano and keyboard player... but listening to him, am I actually? He makes me question my own talent because he is leagues ahead of my abilities. Another great listen is the keyboardist from children of bodom!! Check out their music
He’s self taught too
Ronald Jenkees is a national treasure.
I fucking love you Ronald... you're the coolest musical artist on CZcams to me, bar none. Saying that as a professional pianist myself. Please keep jamming... keep spreading the light brother!
Can't believe it's already been 8 years since "Stay Crunchy". I still enjoy hearing your music. Keep it up Ronald.
This is the kind of sound that reaches the soul.
They need a "America's Got Talent" show for one man playing wonders like Ronald. He would BLOW A LOT OF PLAYERS OFF ANY STAGE. This is an incredible composition with an amazing improvisation demonstrating his great feel for both awesome riffs and hooks, sound selection, arrangement and playing chops.
1:50 "You've reached the boss room. TIME TO BATTLE!" xD
Fight!!!
FUCK! YOU ARE A GENIUS!
That's an understatement, this jam master changed my perspective in music 5/6 years ago and he's more amazing than ever before ;)
Don't swear. Ronald is watching
Followed a random link to get here, and I hear that voice and see that face...
AND THEN THE BEAT MELTED MY DOUBTS ALONG WITH MY FLESH AND I DANCED, A HAPPY SKELETON, FOREVERMORE.
Ronald! It's almost 2023, world needs you more that anything right now! Please, come back to us, we need you!!!!
Is it natural to have tears in my eyes after watching this and listening to the beauty unfolding here?
0:38 favorite part "let - us - try - the - bass"
foundede whoa, just heard that. HAHAA
***** thank you for being awesome, have fun playing and working on your new project
***** Thanks so much for sharing this video. This is such FUN and POSITIVE production. Keep up the great work and good luck with RJCD5!
P.S. 3:30 The keys were hot to the touch!
Ronald, your music is timeless and wonderful!
This guy is a legend. First time I heard him I was hooked. He is definitely a modern day Mozart.

Ya it's kinda like a whammy bar on a electric guitar
WOW! I've been listening this track from Spotify like a sucker and here it is live performed in all its glory, just like the old ones. Didn't even realize
This is f*cking incredible. How can someone be this chill and talented? I mean seriously, I watch thousands of videos of whatever BS every week, and I never stop to comment. This one blew my mind. You, sir, are unfathomably good at what you do.
I true legend here! He literally makes me feel so much in his music! And he is so humble and down to earth I love it! We need more artist like him! Love you jenkees! You have gotten me though such horrible times in the last 7 years! Maybe even longer!
Such masterful use of the pitch bend control!
I just gave the link to one of your first vids to a coworker because she said her (10yr old) son want to quit piano, next day she said his jaw dropped when watching you and he went and practiced all night!!!!
I would LOVE to see him Live!! When he would come out on stage, everyone would say "HELLO CZcamsS!!"
You are genius. This is amazing. Thank you for your talent. I'm happy to live on one planet with you and participate as viewer in your creations.
Still awesome 7 years on
give this guy an award plz
The Force is Strong in THIS ONE.
To watch the pure energy flow through Ronald when he plays is a thing of pure joy. Few musicians on this planet can match his honesty and love for what he plays. Ronald is a national treasure, since '08.
Can't wait to see Ronald get a Grammy...
It's times like when i see this video with less than a million views and kanyes' vids in near billions that I lose all faith in the future of music.
Agreed. Musicians should be more like Jenkees, he plays with real passion.
+oOFrostByteOo Kanye is a very talented artist, listen to college dropout or late registration and tell me he isn't a talented producer and rapper
Kanye is garbage compared to this!
+hammypie Kanye is garbage compared to garbage as well.
+J Syms hahaha
Ive watched you sinced.... maybe like '09? You have a massive place in my heart. Your music can change any mood I am in, thank you for sharing these 10+ years, I freaking love you RJ, cheers
i have no idea who you are. or other music you've done. this is my first time ever hearing you. i'm fucking impressed. solid fucking song.
You should go ahead, do yourself a favor, and listen to his other music as well.
Colin Weiss Magnetic Moment is pretty serene
Colin Weiss search: ronald jenkees disorganized fun
You've heard him before though! All his music is free and many youtubers use it in their videos
Check out throwing fire as well
I’ve been fucking with the music industry for quite the whole of my life , I seen lotta artists and I forgot about most of them but yeah years and years I never forgot about Ronald , I always check if he got something new for my ears , he’s not from this world,,,,,
Who is still listening to this master piece in 2019??
Sry mate only 2020 here
this video gives me hope for humanity
THE KING IS BACK
He said "this entire live jam made it to the final cut". Bro my man is a wizard
Also... RONALD HAS A LAUNCHPAD!!! :O
Itzzwan new skills
So happy to get a new vid! Alpha Numeric is a great album. Looking forward to #5!
My Cabbages! Thanks so much man!! I'm glad you dig it, and thanks everyone else for the comments. You really made this a fun past few days and I really appreciate it!
***** I am so glad you are still doing music. I really hope you continue and keep having fun doing it. This is great music!!
2021 and still jams
Almost 2022 (06DEC2021) and I still listen to this song. I tried the bass, and I love it!
The Greatest of All Time! Jenkees brings back your past in vivid vision, they are called memories! 🔥🎹💥‼️
