Quick links to the genre/type: I always enjoy it more to practice my instrument (guitar, bass or piano) to some nice drum backing track. A metronome is just fine if your mind is fresh and you practice a specific part while fully concentrated, but if you are tired after work and just want to have fun, drum tracks are a great way to go. There are thousands of free drums backing tracks to find on YouTube, but having a nice sorted list of them would come in handy I guess.

So I decided to make my own ( sorted by genre and tempo) list of YT backing tracks.

NEW UPDATE - NOV 1, 2014 Hi friends! I've had many requests over the months for this or that song, the list (which is broken), or help with the torrent. I'm not taking responsibility for it or anything. But here's a really easy way to view and download all the files: Rock on! ORIGINAL POST FOLLOWS.

Listen to and buy Kaz Rodriguez music on CD Baby. Download Thoughts, Vol. Avril lavigne let go full album download torrent. 3 (Drumless Album) by Kaz Rodriguez on the independent record store.

I happened across this download a while back and, while the quality varies from track to track, it's really fun to play along with all these current songs! It appears to be all the songs from Rockband, just with the drum track left out. I only ask beforehand because I'll have to figure out a place to host it (probably Google Drive or something) and take the time to upload it - so I just want to see if there's interest.

Cheers Drummit! EDIT: Please upvote if you're interested.

Not for my karma's sake (it's a self post) but to make sure it gets as many eyes as possible. EDIT: Ok so there's obviously a huge demand for this. I'm really stoked that I can hook so many people up with this! I wasn't sure if it was just old news or whatever. I know it has been such a pleasure to drum with for me. SO - I'm just at work right now and the files are on my computer at home.

As soon as I get home I'll figure out the best way to upload everything and then I'll post up a link as soon as humanly possible. Thanks for all the feedback drummiters! NEWEST EDIT:Ok, so I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I'm having a little trouble making this happen. It's still definitely going to happen, but it looks like it's 5.8 Gigs (actually 1,300 songs:p) and I don't have a ton of options for uploading this beast in a way that will be easy for everyone to grab. I want to break them into smaller folders, but here's where it gets stupid - I just installed Windows 8 on my PC yesterday and I'm encountering painful bugs. Explorer actually crashes when I right-click or try to create a new folder. That makes uploading it in several folders tricky.

Anyway, I'm going to focus on trying to fix my Win 8 install right now and I will upload this stuff as soon as I can. I'm really sorry for the delay here folks. I'm doing my best. Bear with me:) Just a little teaser for the time-being: Sorry, it's a bit ugly. FINAL FUCKING EDIT: Well shit. After all this pain and anguish, someone in the comments () just posted that has basically all the same songs I do. I actually collected mine across some random sites and put them together, but this torrent appears to have virtually all the same files (someone else probably curated them a year ago like I did).

So there you have it, a freely available torrent you can download with all the majesty that I promised. And me looking like a dumbass and not getting to be the hero deserves. Sorry folks:( Again, here's the sacred file: If anyone is interested I'd be willing to go through the files and pick out the best quality ones and put up a significantly condensed version if you guys don't want to torrent 6 gigs • • • • •.
