Derek Sherinian is confirmed to use the Leslie 122 Speaker Cabinet as part of his gear setup, as detailed in the gear list for his Leopard Room, which was featured in the article "Happy Hour(s) at Derek Sherinian's Leopard Lounge" on Music Gear Review.
Mentioned by Tench's keyboard tech, Ken Rich, in this article from Rich's website.
He’s had the organ for decades, and one of the Leslies is a solid-state conversion by the late Bill Beer. You’ve heard that Leslie on the Heartbreakers hit “Refugee,” in all its sparkly, edgy glory. The exact wattage of the Leslie is unknown (as are many of Bill Beer’s designs), but it’ll blow the windows out of a small apartment. The high-frequency driver is an industrial JBL unit that’s about four times the size of the original Jensen V21, and I’m told it’s used for fog signals:
The other Leslies are good old tube-driven classics, a 122 and a 142 conversion (originally a 45), that sound delightful. The organ didn’t need much work, mostly a standard tuneup: drawbar service, generator oiling, a new filter capacitor in the preamp. The Leslies, however, needed a good amount of motor rebuilding as they hadn’t had attention in some time. They’re now ready for the rigors of the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle.
I have a Hammond B3, which is the standard Hammond if you’re going to go for the tone wheel organ. It’s humongous, and it has a Leslie speaker with it, the 122, which is one of the biggest Leslies.
