click the link for Rolling Stones MIDI files - Download for free. For example: search for 'Gimme Shelter midi'. It would be a couple steps to get them to your drum machine. I'm no drummer but I got a basic beat and a few variations and fills - just enough to mark the different sections - up using Hydrogen and kicked it off from a laptop in rehearsal. I dont know of anything exactly like what youre asking for, but you can find midi files of many songs. OP didn't mention if he was doing originals or covers.Īnyway, my band did the drum machine route for ages.
I clicked on the sample of 'Like a Star' and could see there'd be a problem with just the drums, as they drop out for huge stretches, and you'd surely need at least a click in those passages. That's really neat! I can see that working really well for music-minus-one scenarios (strip out just your instrument). Also good for getting songs that your band wants to play in a different key!!Īs I say the only down side is you have to pay for each track. You have to pay for the tracks, but you can select which instruments you want on the tracks so you would be able to just get the drum tracks.
Ive used this site before for backing tracks to practise too
