Fairly soon my guitarist, my son on keyboards and I are planning to do a 3-song segment in a local talent show. This small town seems to be pretty lean on good drummers, though. It seems that our best option may be to play along with a canned drum track (not my favorite way to do it, but...). We plan to play Cream's "White Room" and "Crossroad" and Bowling For Soup's "1985". Does anyone have a recording of any of these songs that could have the drum track separated out? A drum machine track that comes close would work too. We would appreciate any help you could offer.

( I have a great version of Heart of the Sunrise by Yes ) Here is a link to some Midi File sites: http://www.harmony-central.com/MIDI/files.html you might be able to find what you need there.

For me, as a listener, the performance would be much more enjoyable. But that's just my personal preference. serialnumber12 Advanced Member Username: serialnumber12 Post Number: 341 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Saturday, January 07, 2006 - 7:59 am:    I say let that Alembic dance with a real drum kit!
