===Jazz organ===

After jazz organist [[Jimmy Smith (musician)|Jimmy Smith]] popularized the [[Hammond organ]] in jazz in the 1950s, many jazz pianists "...&nbsp;who thought that getting organ-ized would be a snap ..." realized that the Hammond "...&nbsp;B-3 required not only a strong left hand, but studied coordination on the pedals to create the strong and solid "jazz bass" feel."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.catalog-of-cool.com/organ.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130119003211/http://www.catalog-of-cool.com/organ.html |archive-date=19 January 2013 |title=Organ Grinder Swing |author=Tom Vickers}}</ref> [[Barbara Dennerlein]] combines advanced pedalboard techniques with agile playing on the [[Manual (music)|manuals]]. Organists who play the bassline on the lower manual may do short taps on the bass pedals – often on the [[Tonic (music)|tonic]] of a tune's key and in the lowest register of the pedalboard – to simulate the low, resonant sound of a plucked [[upright bass]] string.

In popular music, pedaling style may be more varied and idiosyncratic, in part because jazz or pop organists may be self-taught. Also, pedaling styles may differ due to the design of electromechanical organs and spinet organs, many of which have shorter pedalboards designed to play primarily with the left foot, so that the right foot can control a volume (swell) pedal.
