Big Drum Bonanza Contest Entry - Ian McDonald

Hello! I didn't include a speaking intro like some of the other entrants did, as I'm a little camera shy, so I'll just say all that I want to say right here! My name is Ian McDonald, and this is my entry into the Big Drum Bonanza contest. Firstly, just let me apologize for the audio quality. I did record with a mic, but using a sole mic in that position proved to give poor results. The camera audio captured most of the elements of my kit to a greater degree, so I went with that, sacrificing a little quality in doing so. I put a lot of effort into this, which hopefully is apparent through my playing. I've been playing for a little over three years, and the drums I wrote for this are easily the hardest thing I've ever attempted (Including Dream Theater). It would be an absolute dream to win. Hopefully you enjoy this video, I know I enjoyed the challenge and am mostly content with what it is I've done (I am something of a perfectionist, so I don't think I could ever be 100% happy with my own work, haha). Thank you for taking the time to read this :)

Is She Waiting? - McDonald & Giles

The third track from Ian McDonald and Michael Giles 1971 album McDonald & Giles. Fresh from King Crimson, McDonald and Giles got together to record this single album before going there separate ways. Giles brought in his brother Peter Giles to play bass but most other instruments are handled by McDonald and Giles themselves (Steve Winwood and Michael Blakesley make short appearances on other tracks). Unlike the dark and majestic work of King Crimson, McDonald & Giles is much folksier and lighter, yet maintaning much of the proggy and jazzy elements, especially the flowing drumming of Giles and moving saxophones, mellotrons and flutes of McDonald that was essential to early Crimson. This particular track, while not an absolute highlight of the album (if you ask me that is) is a rather pretty and moody acoustic ditty credited entirely to McDonald. Lyrics: Is she waiting Is the ashtray by the bed Beside her Is she waiting With the book that's never read I need to know she knows I'm on my way home Curtains closed I'm back on the road Is she lonely Painting pictures of the sea To show me In the morning She'll be there and I will be Beside her is the place I know I should be See her face Shine smiling at me Is she sleeping Half awake to hear the door At sunrise Is she waiting Just to be with me once more I know she is
