Drumless Backing Track

A FREE drum practice drumless backing track

A drumless backing track is the next thing to paying with real musicians. It gives you a chance to get creative with your newest grooves and fills and try to bring them into a cohesive flowing drum part. It allows you to take risks and try things before you air them in front of an audience. It allows you to explore ideas that you have thought of previously, or be spontaneous and get lost in the moment. That is why a drumless backing track is so important.

But the best thing is that unlike other things in life that are good for you such as Brussels sprouts, exercise, avoiding alcohol, etc, this one is actually enjoyable. It’s one of the best things you can practice for your drumming and it’s also one of the most fun things at the same time. That doesn’t often happen in life!

This playalong drum track is a funky Hammond organ style tune that has some pretty full on funk parts as well as a soft breakdown. This means you can practice building dynamics within a song. Because the track is ‘minus drums’ that means the drums are removed to leave space for your creative genius to shine through. However, it does contain some super funky Latin style conga playing as well as a hand clap so you have a metronomic guide.

And that is why this backing track is also great as a timing exercise because you are training yourself to play in time with a click which is a crucial skill for both studio and live performance.

Just when you thought life couldn’t get any better, I can tell you that this track is also free. All you have to do is click below to receive it. But here’s a video of me jamming some ideas over it to get a feel for the track.
