Free drum tracks?

[solo4652]

Firstly - thank you to all of you who wished me well with my new bass guitar. I've not touched a guitar since putting my classical guitar down 35 years ago. I've had my Yamaha BB 404 for 6 days now and I'm using www.studybass.com to get me going. I'm enjoying jamming along with the simple exrcises. Already, I'm looking for a website of free drum backing tracks to jam with - anybody got any suggestions please?

Hi there.For a start you could go to Dave Mark's site (davemarks.com iirc).He has about a dozen drum tracks you can downlod and keep and also some chord progressions to play along with.

alternatively if you can find songs with simple bass lines, you could always find the TAB and jam along to them?

This sounds exactly what I'm after. Where would I get such things on the Web, please? Pardon my ignorance.

Some effects pedals have built-in drum machines which might be worth playing with. Digitech BP range, Zoom B2 range to name but several.

Hi guys,

For those that want a good, simple Software drum program for jamming along here's a URL to check out.

It features several FREE programs. I personally use HammerHead and HotStepper.
(HotStepper has the edge)

dead easy for creating tracks to jam with, or for making demos....

None of these would replace either a) a drummer, or a good drum machine, but they work great for jotting
ideas to your 4 track of practice....

here it is:
