PRIMUS Audition - Ian Macdonald of Sick Drummer Magazine - Jerry Was a Racecar Driver.

I decided to enter because I love drums, music, and Primus. I did not play it note for note, but I had fun. I took a clip from a Live Twitch TV Stream I did tonight and wanted to enter it. I had played the song four times before the stream and three times on the stream. I want to be honest. This was not just a first attempt; I wanted to share the experience live.

Good Luck to ALL who submitted videos. I've seen some amazing stuff.

Thank You, Primus, for this outstanding opportunity!

Ian here...

I am participating in Drumsgiving 2024 on Twitch. This three-day drumming event, featuring 25 drummers, will raise money and awareness for the Save The Music Foundation.

https://www.savethemusic.org/how-we-work

I will perform on Saturday, 11/16, from 4:30 AM to 6:30 AM. I will post a link soon to the fundraiser, as I know it's a very early time slot that most of my friends won't be able to watch.
