Tuomas Holopainen is the keyboardist and main songwriter in the Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish. He has also played in the bands Nattvindens Gråt and Darkwoods My Betrothed. One of his side projects is the gothic-doom metal band For My Pain.... He also plays in the band of Timo Rautiainen. I once say NightWish and was blown away by the showmanship of this band. Holopainen was a pleasure to watch on the keyboards. Let's take a look to see what Tuomas Holopainen's Keyboard gear and equipment looks like.  Tuomas Holopainen going crazy on the keys Here's a quote from Tuomas on his keyboard setup: "I'm totally into KORG keyboards. I have a N364, TrinityProX, Triton and Karma. The Karma is my latest toy and I absolutely love it, even though it works better in the studio than in live situations. Karma is the red one and it has endless possibilities to create music - from metal through film music up to shampoo advertisments. I have been using the N364 for ages and thought it was time to expand the visions and it has a very special place in my heart. It was the first instrument I ever bought, my dad lending me the money. All the songs on the Oceanborn were made with that keyboard only." - Tuomas Holopainen  Want to sound like Tuomas? Click gear images for more info & to buy at Musician's Friend
