  • Here's my take on "Available Light", one of my favorite Rush songs. I had some trouble with this one, after getting a nasty blister on my left hand! Not perfect and of course, since they never played this one on tour, it's really my own interpretation. To take with a grain of salt! Oh well. Enjoy!

    I remember as a long time Rush fan, jogging to this
    song, and reflecting on the three parts above ...
    and really marveling at the beauty of how Neil
    purposely DID NOT do the same thing three times!

    Man, that was MANIC...you hit all the fills I remember (I'm old) and I could sense a little Keith Moon (or Animal...separated at birth) coming out. SUPERB job.

    I'm kinda new to Rush and I've only listened to this song since it's origin, so maybe about 10,000 times? This rendition is spot on, very well done!

    Yet again a really, really good effort. Don't know what it is but of all the renditions here yours is by far the best; fluid, powerful, accurate. You brighten my dreary day buddy. Thanks!

    You know what...good stuff, man. I do love Rush, but usually have to roll my eyes at the youtube crap. You're alright, man! Good song and good execution! Everyone can do the classics, good choice.
    And , yes, I have a Fender Jazz Bass too...so I play along as well.
    Great job!

    @Astrotama  16 ปีที่แล้ว

    Those are not wing nuts, they are the Aquarian spring cymbals. They are made to absorb the shocks of the sticks. Since I started to use them 4 - 5 years ago, I have not broken one single cymbal! I used to go through them quite a lot in the past....

    WHAT A VERY WELL EXECUTED PERFORMANCE! Very well articulated and strong at the same time, congratulations buddy! Oh! By the way, this is one of those great songs in the Rush's repertoir that is never played live, I'd thought they'd finally play it during the S & A tour, but they didn't.

  • @maricciar
    @maricciar 10 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @Astrotama
    @Astrotama  17 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks. The hi-hat is the 13" Paragon. I used to pkay a much heavier Sabian hi-hat so it took me a while to get use to this one.

  • @Astrotama
    @Astrotama  16 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you!

  • @Astrotama
    @Astrotama  17 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks. I use my wrists a lot, don't worry, but to play Rush you need to generate *lots* of power. Neil might be the loudest drummer out there so to duplicate his stuff, you need to hit hard. I do that in combining both wrists and forearms motion. When I play other stuff, I usually calm down a bit. ;)

  • @Astrotama
    @Astrotama  17 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nope, not anymore. Too busy at work and it's very very difficult to find rock musicians and places to play roxk music on the Big Island of Hawaii. I played in tons of bands before but these days, it's only to bother the neighbours. ;)

    dude, its like you speak fluent Neil in your brain and can just figure out exactly how he would play something. Only u are Martin Pierrad (sp?) can do that! it must be a Canadian thing (eh?)

    What China Cymbals Are You Using?

    • @Astrotama
      @Astrotama  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      All cymbals are Sabian Paragons. So, the 19", 20" and 20" Diamondback.

  • @kennyplay2301
    @kennyplay2301 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    I disagree. I think the the beginning is right on.Suggestion viewers. Look away and just listen, don't watch the video. It comes across painfully slow...Astrotama, as well as the neighbors, do you bother the family, or roommates, if there are any lol
