This Jazz and Blues sampler includes 20 prepared rhythm track arrangements of "Song Rhythm Tracks" (SRT) - studio-ready, musician’s rhythm tracks arranged for your songs. Select, download and play 4 of your arrangements using this App. More still available via in-app purchasing.

Composed entirely of a rhythmic backing (no melody or harmony) and arranged for a song's musical form, there's no better way to receive quality audio, bespoke rhythmic backing - Easily and Quickly.  This drumming is alive and it's so easy to select and play.

No need to sequence drum loops and all that time-consuming programming!  Simply select your song's arrangement of rhythm and form, press 'save' and you receive a top-quality audio, bespoke rhythmic backing track.  Add it to your set list, for practice or performance.  Share your song selections, and others’, from within the app.

Whether you are a new, intermediate or experienced musician you will love using this App.  It great for learning new tunes, jamming, gigging and cutting a release.

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.

Alive Drumming currently supports over 60 different rhythmic categories, including over 250 distinct rhythms.  Of these, most are available with differing instrumentation such as ‘rim’ shots or, say, wooden blocks, and many at multiple tempos.  In all, over 3,700 different rhythm tracks are available.
