IMHO the Hammond B3 was as important to rock music as the Fender electric guitar.

Video of Chicago's Robert Tuner giving a stellar performance on a vintage Hammond B-3 organ at American music world *Chicago IL. Here you see the back of the Leslie speaker that has two spinning horns that give the Hammond B3 that distinctive sound.

Pat Travers used a Leslie on the amplifier for his Gibson Les Paul. He put on quite the show back in the day.

His first three albums were awesome.

Most keyboardists do not use the foot pedals.

By hernown admission, my mother is not a very good organist, and SHE used the foot pedals. She could always tell a piano player pretending to be an organist.

In my years of playing in bands (guitar) I encountered a few guys in TX and the South who could utterly kick yer azz playing the pedals, but I agree, there were keyboard keys that played the same notes, and roadwise, the pedals were a particularly klutzy thing to haul around. So, yeah, a majority played bass on keyboard keys, but not a 10:1 majority. Not that the organ itself was any kind of walk in the park.
