Rush "Superconductor": Drums!!!

[BigDancin]

Awesome again Astro. I always enjoyed this song and thought it was a mighty good description of the pop world in the 80s as well. It's fun to play and a "workout" on guitar as well -- lots of fast chord switching. I know you're not a jukebox and all, but in case you would ever honor a request, it'd be nice if your wife could join you on bass and pull off La Villa Strangiato together. That'd be great to jam along with in the home studio! Keep rockin'.

[poolepaul]

you nailed it AGAIN dude...bloody brilliant

[TheShornak]

Have you ever turned around and use the other drum set you have in the back?

[Astrotama]

@TheShornak Yes. Watch "Jacob's Ladder" for instance. I started to work on some songs yesterday mostly using the V-drums; stay tuned...

[danielscanlon463]

Fuckn A Astro....nailed it. You are deserving to meet Neil and the boys on your merits alone. They reallly should at least give you acknowlegement, just sayin. Well done!! Onward and upward...wats next?

[danjcan]

Astro..where do u live? I want to be your neighbor, so I could get great drum lessons...have you ever met Mr. Peart? or has he ever saw any of your covers?.....DUDE you are the best I have seen...keep them coming, I just found you tonight, and I think I have watched all of your vids...can't get enough !!!

[Astrotama]

@danjcan I live in Tucson, AZ. No, I have never met Neil or heard from him. It's ok, he knows his songs well enough... ;) Thanks for watching!

[sos1001001]

WATCH HIS EVERY MOVE!!!!!!!!!!!

[hyperpyretic]

I notice that your kit is laid out almost exactly like Neil's. Is that more for aesthetics or is it actually easier to play in that set up?

[Astrotama]

@hyperpyretic Neil's playing is very methodical and always with a purpose. It helps in duplicating his playing - and sound - when your kit has a similar arrangement than his.

[pmzq0123]

Great Cover

[snowman4440]

Nice work AGAIN Astro!  What a fun song I smile every time I hear it!

[superpinkfloyd101]

les québécois sont les meilleures.

[BumDog2112]

Incredible job! Keep it up! I cant get enough of your videos.

[MrTBBiggs]

The move at about 3:06 is what sets you apart. Nice work. I noticed the new snare sound right away. Sounds very crisp.

[sos1001001]

WATCH HIS EVERY MOVE!!!!!!!!!!!

[hyperpyretic]

Tres bien!! You rock!

[DrumminManXXL]

Great Job as always. I really enjoy all of your videos.

Keep posting!

[aerodude73]

very nice job again buddy - love the Footwork (& the sandals/socks combo!), you should show more footwork camera work if possible. look forward to the next video!

[SIERRAHPBT]

Most Excellent!

[robertpaq27]

Antoher Great vid

[roberttylershaver]

wonderful as always. Being a Tama player myself and Neil being my biggest influence, I was wondering where I could get that poster you have? I've looked on the internet.

[Astrotama]

@roberttylershaver I got mine on eBay, years ago. I have seen several of these banners popping on eBay from time to time.

[roberttylershaver]

@Astrotama ok thanks. Also, I noticed you have a mounted cymbal off the bass drum. I too have the B/B kit with bass mount, yet mount my toms to the left like you. I was wondering what cymbal mount you have on the bass drum. I couldn't find it on the Tama website. Sorry for all the questions haha.

[Astrotama]

@roberttylershaver I use a boom arm attached to the ratchet part of a MC66 clamp. The ratchet fits well in the hole on the tom mount, normally used to hold a tom holder.

[bytore]

qui a été génial! bien joué! adoré à 3:07-3:09 roll!

[SquashPile]

Wow.. most excellent. Love that song and great job as usual.

[hhfd68]

Damn nice job!!!

[ThePiperofRose]

very nice. Two things nice trick with the Tama poster. I thought it was an outside window. Also I like the foot pedal camera. Too bad my sucky work computer won't keep up with the video. I'll have to watch it at home. Another nice video and a great job on the kit.

[d3rjackal]

Lock and Key...  (flippin' iPad typing - hit enter instead of Shift) :)

[d3rjackal]

You need to do

[reine71658]

Oh yeah, and if those are wrist weights I'm gonna' lose it.

[Astrotama]

@reine71658 No, just helping with the sweat and tendinitis.

[reine71658]

God Da...Man I love watching that. The part at 2:20 is so smooth,LOVED IT. The kids were stunned.Made there night man,thanks.The dudes right man, 7x? you're a machine.I,m guessing you don't smoke.

[Astrotama]

@reine71658 No, never did, thank God. I also exercise everyday now, stationary biking and dumbbells.

[entrrt]

Holy 16th notes Batman! I got tired just watching you! Great work on that one! Lots of odd placed cymbals hits. That'd be a good warm up tune.

[jwdarn]

My bad just found between the wheels! Ok. R30 overture?

[RustedGumbie]

Like a machine....

[jwdarn]

Sparkles67-- new foot wear!,,,

[RustedGumbie]

You are amazing....

[jwdarn]

When are we going to see between the wheels?

[jwdarn]

Cardio central! 7 times in a row. Heck of a workout! Crazy timings. Good job!

[KMFn420z]

always great to watch

[cc6809]

Great, simply great.

[jasonbakermusic]

well done my man. the last 2 min of that song are just crazy hard... well done indeed

[maximumvalues]

great as per always... thanks for posting. enjoyed

[semiLivedj]

Sandals w/socks,What are you,A fag.Hahaha,Just kidding.Great playing and sounding as always.I like how the bass drum beat goes around and around.

[rushfanbytor]

I like how play to the details of each song, way to go, as usual great work. Would you ever consider covering one of his early drum solos? Before the electronics.

[ThePsychicSasquatch]

Great high energy playing. Love it. I was hoping you would do the live variation with the toms combo in the latter half of the chorus. No matter. Enjoyed it.

[pd2210]

Dude snare is incredible sounds freakin great! Oh and so do you, sorry!

[sparkles67]

@pd2210 neil WOULD NOT approve of you're foot wear! atrocious!!!!!! ;)

[Astrotama]

@sparkles67 Contrary to what many people think, I do not run my life around what Neil likes or not... ;)

[wrathchild11]

Always says..."not perfect"...it's.. drumming.. no such thing as perfect...just friggin awesome!

[Astrotama]

@wrathchild11 I'm just being honest...

[polacotf2]

great song

[thebiglou29]

De quel marque son tes cymbales ?

[Astrotama]

@thebiglou29 Toutes des Sabian Paragon, achetees comme un set special en 2006.

[ralle474]

Nice work,what's your sizes? Do you use the exact same ones as peart?And finally what cymbals do you use! By the way,always love to see your videos,when peart can't play any more you can take over for him!:-)

[Astrotama]

@ralle474 Some details of the drumset are available under my channel...

[triumphchris675]

great job Pierre, and i can see why your arms are gonna fall off!!! i cant wait to see an updated la ville from you!!

[spiritualbully2112]

That's entertainment! Very nice - as usual! Sandals with socks...an under-appreciated combination.

[massac78THE2nd]

amazing man!
