Vadim Pruzhanov (Вадим Пружанов) (born June 18, 1983 in Ukraine) is the keyboardist of DragonForce. Vadim recently switched to playing a Keytar in order to be able to move about whilst playing at the extreme speeds for which DragonForce are known. During the guitar-driven DragonForce songs, Pruzhanov often only plays string or synth-string backing, but occasionally solos alongside the guitars - for example, in Soldiers of the Wasteland.
