Finest Quality Audio Backing – These audio tracks are sequenced from the very best high-quality audio of real artist interpretations. They have been recorded and mastered at multiple tempos and the arrangements take into account song sections, bridges, middle choruses, introductions, and endings. The drumming keeps the energy flowing as it spells all this out from the introduction to the ending.

We strive to cover rhythms for all genres of popular music, from jazz, country, folk, latin, rock, pop and eventually including everything else. We aim to serve every continent, nation, and culture. If your style of music isn’t represented, and you’d like it to be and you play the drums or percussion, please reach out to us at feedback@alive-drumming.org.
On Song Form – For rhythmic backing, we consider a song’s musical “form” to be simply the sequence of sections that are performed, each identified by its length in bars and whether or not it’s a ‘bridge’. Don’t be concerned if that appears complicated. It isn’t; you will get the idea very quickly.”
