Ronald "The Great" Jenkees!
<div class="IPBDescription">Seriously good musician!</div>This guy is nuts. Not only is he fun to watch, because he seems a lil off, but his music is amazing.

Good enough for me. Add to cart.
Yeah, and his computer for the beats.

Well, considering the size, that's not a simple ordinary keyboard/synth. It's probably got a bunch of patches and patch manipulation software inside it instead of a simple small set of traditions sounds, i.e. typical instruments.
My personal favorite:

That one is my favorite of his.
This guy is crazy and was the first video I saw of someone really doing the guitar tapping stuff.

Don't just leave us hanging, tell us who's better!
pretty much anyone who has a 4.2 or higher score at <a href="http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/" target="_blank">Newgrounds audio</a> to start.
Realistically... what jenkes is doing is moderately decent keyboarding and reasonably mid level digital mixing. He's good, sure, but not uniquely amazing.
Pretty much any hired mixer for games, movies, advertizement, or really anything, probably produces better tracks on average then jenkes. They just don't have really cool videos on you tube showing off their skill.
I'm personally a bit partial for <a href="http://khuskan.newgrounds.com/" target="_blank">Khuskan</a>, since he's done mixing and sound work for a half dozen source mods and really has no remarkable popularity to show for it, even though IMO the majority of his stuff is really quite good.
