Music tracks minus drums...

[LDGuy]

Anyone have any of these? It would be cool to collect together some sort of library of things to play along to.

Cheers,

Loz.

[phonophunk]

here (http://www.bateristaspt.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&cid=22), it's only six but that's already something :)...

[Tyrnox]

Waaaa, that is awesome, I've been looking quite around for things like these, but most sites that have them you have to pay. This is really cool, thanks!

Here is one: from CD and book "Turn it up & lay it down"

[Tyrnox]

This thread should be a sticky, and people should add track's that they either have, or find, this is very usefull.

[LDGuy]

These are great, uh are there any more out there? -Thanks guys!

[Nikkeivei]

Hi! I just want to ask if someone of you would know where I could find _free_ backing tracks for drums? Tracks which would include at least bass and guitar. Vocals and other instruments would be a great extra. Thanks.

[finnhiggins]

Hi! I just want to ask if someone of you would know where I could find _free_ backing tracks for drums? Tracks which would include at least bass and guitar. Vocals and other instruments would be a great extra. Thanks.

I find the best way to get this kind of stuff is to actually go looking for example projects for sequencing software. Get the sequencer in question, grab the examples and then... mute the drum tracks. Bingo, instant backing track.

[drummerboy]

Where do you the sequencer?..I've been looking for backing tracks also.

[Nikkeivei]

Ok. Thanks. There isnt any freewares to download, but hopefully I can find a decent demo to practise with.

[Zackman]

This may seem a bit obvious, but I've seen alot of people asking about drumless tracks and such. I was looking for tracks without drums one day and then it hit me. Why not play with Midi files? I know they arn't real instruments, but they're VERY easy to find and easy to use. Some midi files have drums in them, but just download a program like Calkwalk or Music Creator. Easy. Hope this was helpful to at least one person.
Zack.

[Zackman]

I've seen/heard some people asking about tracks that they can drum to. Well I was looking for stuff like this too, and I finally found a conclusion. Use Midi files. They may not be the best, but they're there, and VERY easily found. Some of them do have drums in them, but all you have to do is download a program like Calkwalk or Music Creator, open it up and delete the drum track. There, now you have a song you know, that you can play along with. To find midi's, just google it. Easy. Works for me.
Hoped this helps at least one person.

Zack.

[Bonzo]

On a related note, if I put some of these on a CD to play along with, will they work on a standard stereo or boombox, being that they are MP3 files? Or, if not, can they be converted to a standard stereo format? I have no experience with MP3's so I was just wondering. Thanks.

[MunsieMan]

if you get an MP3 Convertor (I suggest MP3 Producer and Winamp does it to) make the files into WAVS burn them to a CD and they should work opn steros and boomboxes and what not

[Bonzo]

Thanks, MunsieMan!!!

[Bonzo]

Oops! It doesn't look like either of those programs convert from MP3 to Wav. Only the other way around. Anyway, I did find a free MP3-WAV converter on PCWorld.com, if anyone else is interested.

[finnhiggins]

Winamp will convert anything it will play as audio to a wave file, you've just got to change the settings so that the output plugin is set to "Nullsoft Diskwriter Plugin" and set an output directory. Then you just play the song (it will do it very fast, and you'll hear no sound) and once it finishes there should be a wave file waiting for you.

[Smoky_McPot]

Most cd burning software has built in converters, you just select to make an Audio CD and drop mp3 files on it. If you use Windows Media 9 it will also convert .wma

Hey Bernard, I just picked up Vol's. 1 & 2 but they didn't come with a book, nor any tracks with drums. Fess up, that's you on the drums ain't it?

[Tubedude]

You know... I brought this up a while back under whatever name it was that I cant remember anymore.
I'm just dabbling with drums, although somewhat serious dabbling, but have been a guitar player/bass player and piano player for a long time.
I picked about 5 Tool songs I like a lot, and asked someone (out of hundreds of people here and in several other forums) to find a singer that could lay down something close and similar to Maynard, at least in key, and I would record the 5-6 songs all the way through with a click ( I own a studio here in Louisville) including all double tracking and overdubs, a decent quality production, let the singer do his thing, and then make 2 copies of each song, one with audible clicks, and one without, and send them to everyone that wanted one for like $2 to pay for shipping and media. The thread sat there for awhile and just got bumped away I guess. No bites.
I have several songs I've done this to halfassed, and its fun as hell to play to, and all of my original stuff I have tracked I can mute the drums to and play along with it through headphones. Its pretty cool. I like to set up drums behind my mix station, and sit on the stool, and I can turn around, edit some stuff, press record, and spin on the stool and I'm sitting behind a kit. Pretty fun.
Anyway, I'll still toy with the idea, but now I'm way busier and dont ahve as much time to f*** with it, so...
Anyone interested?

[Garden]

Hello,

A few weeks ago "Phonophunk" posted a link to six playalong songs from Rush. If anybody can send me these files in MP3 format I would be very happy. Off course I want (and really can) trade these files. I have some very nice files to play along.

If you have these songs please mail me.

Hey Bernard, I just picked up Vol's. 1 & 2 but they didn't come with a book, nor any tracks with drums. Fess up, that's you on the drums ain't it?

Those CD's do not come with books only the tracks. Inside the cover is the information of the style of songs.

And whoever is laying down that groove on the drum/in track did a good job dont you think?

Hey anyone of you drummers out there, I want to know if anyone has any songs minus the drum trax for big band music. Or know of any CD's of this nature. I am going to start drumming in a big band next week and would like some charts to start recording to and see where I need improvements on.

Any ideas Sticks???

I think I've heard that last one before. I think my drum teacher was using it as a way of helping me keep time.

[Daiver]

Yeah, those are awesome and Im already using them. However, I'd like something more like those Rush mp3s that were posted up there. Doesn't matter what band, just something that I know and can play along.

Thanks!

Anyone know where I can find Dave Matthews songs with the drums?

[NaturalRaz]

Anyone know where I can find Dave Matthews songs with the drums?

I'm a Carter fan as well. I have not found anything on DMB without the drums. But, in your question you asked if there is songs with the drums....so I assume you mean a drum tab......right? I have not found one. But, Carter does have 2 videos out called......"Under The Table And Drumming....Volume 1" and "Under The Table And Drumming....Volume 2." Thats all I have really seen on him.

I don't know if that helps.

[FatherTime]

I don't know if this was shown to anyone here but I found this website a few months ago and downloaded all of their stuff. I now have over 1:30 hours of practicing drumless music. Although there are some songs that have the drums in there, not much though. Check it out.

...MIDI files...MIDI files...MIDI files...

[full metal]

I think that in a lot of cases you are going to have to take them out your self but if you can find it I am very sure there is a program that you put on your computer that is like haveing a recording studio on there and you should be able to load the song and take the drums out just like they would do at a recording studio.

a long time ago they used to make tapes and cds like that where they came missing a certon part like drums or guitar and I imagine they still make those as well.

[Husky0628]

Thanks Raz, I actually screwed up in my typing, it was supposed to be Dave Matthews without The drums. I've known about "Under The Table and Drumming for awhile and I've even gotton a few videos off the internet from them, but moneys been tight and I've never been able to get it. I want the videos bad though, hopefully soon. I still hope I can find some playalong songs to their stuff.

Hi,
I've been wondering if anyone could send me the songs without drums found by LDguy (Dave Weckl: "Garden Wall" and "Island Magic"; Tom Hapke: "Mastersong"). The Links Are Broken, and I really need these songs because I might use them on a selection test to join an university here in Brasil.

cheers for any help!

[drummerstix_au]

Hi,

I get a magazine here called Rhythm from the UK... it comes with a CD on the cover each month of drumless backing tracks for various rock classics.

Click here (http://www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/store/displaystore.asp?sid=473&custid=24@10@200549345@616212580) for more info.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

cheers mate. they are the CDS that i lost and cant find them. i was wondering where i could down load some.

cheers for help

No probs mate.. it is a great magazine.. shame its not more readily available here in Australia... think I just gotta get to the drum store quicker! LOL

[Husky0628]

Ya know, in my question, Where can I find Dave Matthews songs with out drums, I just realized I have the answer. Hope I can help other drummers to. Dave Matthews himself has a solo album with Tim Reynolds. Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds live at Luther College. theres all the popular DMB songs done acousticly, you can play right along with them! Hope in answering my own question I helped others to!

If you're on a PC, just right click as Save As to any folder you wish. If you're on a Mac, there's probably a pretty picture of a folder or a smiley face or a flower or something.

[Fábio Ocaña]

Hi,
Some time ago LDguy posted a link with 2 Dave Weckl's tunes, they were: Island Magic & Garden Wall, both without drums. And these files are really important to me, because I'll probably use them in a selection test, to join an university, that will happen in a month.

But now the links are broken, even though some members of the forum downloaded it in the past. That's why I ask for someone to send me this songs; via E-mail, MSN, etc...

I also would like to share some play-alongs from a cd recorded by Dennis Chambers and Tony Royster Jr. to the whole forum, but unfortunately when I tried to attach the files it didn't work.
So I can trade these files with the one who help me with the Weckl's tunes.

My E-mail is: fabio_ocana@yahoo.com.br

Thanx a lot...

And remember Gary Chester's words: "You strive to be good. But be good is not good enough. You've got to be better."

Great links everybody!!!

Anybody know where i could get just music (modern day music) tracks (no drums) which i can play along? Thanks...

[davodi74]

Not 100% sure, but my friend said go to GC with the CD and they can take out the drums or vocals or anything for a couple bucks (or maybe for free!). Again, I'm not sure.

[RMS]

You can take vocals out usually by cutting the midrange a lot...I think my fourth grade music teacher had a tape player with a switch to cut vocals, but basically I think it just cut out the mids...for drums I don't see how you would take them out of a normal CD, there's just too many frequencies there, bass, cymbals, snare, there's no way to EQ it out. Unless the drums were very processed to begin with and you had a super duper gazillion band graphic EQ.

I downloaded a couple of drumless Rush tunes...It would be nice if they put a click on it. Even with big headphones it's hard to get any feedback from the song, acoustic drums are just too loud! I guess you just have to synch your own click to it in Cakewalk or something.

[jiltednut]

Hey, I'm new here, apologies if i'm reposting, i've been scouring the net for some decent music without drum parts, I stumbled across these 2 :

Riiiiise from the dead you shall, old thread.

Well you might be able to do 'something' about the drums messing around with the EQ in order to hear them less...It will be tough though cause it will affect the whole track.

If anyone has more of these tracks without drums, please post.

There are hundreds of MIDI big band/jazz songs. There are also thousands of modern popular songs in MIDI format where the drums can be removed. Its pretty easy to take the drums out and then mix the midi into an mp3 ( I do this all the time so as to record my drums with the song ). If your interested, let me know. I can show you how to do this using a software MIDI sequencer.

Check out Billy Ward's page:
http://www.billyward.com/

Go down to Chart Tawk, and check out the videos of Billy and Barry (gtr player who wrote the songs). You can also download the songs minus drums, and the charts that they talk about.

I don't play a lot of jazz gigs, but it's a great jazz play-along, that I've found has helped with my Rock and R&B playing. Nice variety, track-wise (odd times, 8th note grooves, swing, ballads...) and having the charts is cool too.

I've been recording myself, and have learned a lot from listening back to my grooves with the tracks - pretty cool...

[cp84]

Hi,

I just started studying with a new teacher and he recommended "meet the bass player" by allan cox.

I went out and bought it and its really really good. Drumless tracks with double bass and some sort of funny guitar.

Its aimed at jazz and blues players mainly. They play a number of 12 and 32 bar blues songs at different BPMs. It starts at 40 BPM (I like practising at this tempo, it really helps me focus) but goes right up to like 300 BPM.

Theres even a count in at the beginning of each track.

They also do one track in 3/4 and one in 5/4.

Its a great cd and much more fun than practising to the metronome. You should check it out.

Chris.

[dea]

I'd be interested in learning how to do this.

There are others that have a ton of great Jazz MIDIs as well. I don't do much with the pop songs.

Pat Petrillo's Hands, Grooves and Fills DVD comes with a book and an mp3 disc of play alongs. The play alongs are my fav part.

As does Tommy Igoe's Groove Essentials. Haven't heard the Pat Petrillo stuff, but the Groove Essential play-alongs are the best I've ever heard (and there's like 50 of them). Many different styles, with charts.

So, how much would you pay for a custom-created play-along track of any song you want? $5?

And to whomever has trouble hearing the music through headphones while playing, get some good over-the-ear headphones from GC, or some in-ear monitors (M-Audio makes pretty good ones for, like, $60. Those iPod earbuds usually won't cut it.

[Legacyrik]

Just as an FYI... Word on the street is you can use Rock Band to output drumless tracks! Haven't tried it yet though.

Yea, so these are the drumless tracks I was talking about in my other thread (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=557180). They're all just loops from GarageBand that are looped for 4-6 minutes. Some have multiple tempos. All the files in the zip file can be seen here:
http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/113/99791384kw8.jpg

Hopefully you guys are happy with the ones I chose... I basically just chose whichever ones I liked. There aren't too many slower tempos (but 120 can be played at 60) mostly because if you slow a track down in GarageBand it gets all distorted and poopty.

And I only ended up making one "song," but I have a feeling it's gonna be kinda awkward to drum along to.


So yea, enjoy? I might upload a track or two on soundclick or something if people are hesitant in downloading such a big file without hearing anything first.

[rtrev64]

They are easy to find, you can buy the drum along cds at Guitar Center. I have two tracks at myspace site: http://www.myspace.com/drumtime Both are of Mississippi Queen, the first track is with drums but no vocals, the 2nd tune is with no drums and vocals, that is where you come in..add you own beat or play as close as possible to it.

It's a collection of different sites that offer drumless downloads. Not all of them are free, so you'll have to go through and check them all. I know one of them has about a hundred or so, but only shows the song title and not the artist. Also, most of these are re-makes of the originals, and usually sound better.

Great , thanks
got some cool songs, thanks very much, any more sites that anyone else has would be really appreciated.

Just as an FYI... Word on the street is you can use Rock Band to output drumless tracks! Haven't tried it yet though.

This is a brilliant idea and wouldn't be too hard. Just open up a song in practice mode for the drums and not play anything. If you have a means of recording audio from your TV or an AV source[The console] this is very doable.

Will try that when I get home. :)

Hey everybody.

mp3 tracks with the drums removed can be very useful and a hell of a lot of fun to play with, but are invariably difficult to find, as we all know. I was lucky enough to get my hands on around 70 or so good quality drumless backing tracks recently from a forum, and Id hate to have to keep them to myself!

Hello mate! Thanks very much for all the hard work you've done on these tracks,drumless backing tracks are a bugger to get hold of. Could i get a copy of Run To The Hills and Highway To Hell please? I use a mac,not sure if that'll effect the file format....thanks!

[RussTee]

This is even better if you have an electronic kit Midi interface (http://www.bytearts.com/midi/index.htm)to allow you to play the games using your own kit.

This is a brilliant idea and wouldn't be too hard. Just open up a song in practice mode for the drums and not play anything. If you have a means of recording audio from your TV or an AV source[The console] this is very doable.

Will try that when I get home. :)

[Drummerdude1993]

Wow you're right it's impossible to get hold of tracks like these. =/ If you don't mind, can you send me Run To The Hills (Iron Maiden), Learn To Fly (Foo Fighters) and Hysteria (muse) ?

Will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks. (: Tell me if you need my email or something like that.

Not sure if you'll be able to extract them on a Mac. You can PM me or whatever if you can't. http://www.mediafire.com/?5m5mgzdkjz2


And of course all credit still goes to Paul C.

About a dozen free downloads.

[RussTee]

Checkout the guitar pro software....sorry about the g-word but this package has about 5000 tabs available and basically they are all midi files so you can turn the drums off, also clicking on the drumpart shows you the drum tab. www.guitar-pro.com
