About These Free Drum Tracks
Guitar Tool Hub's drum tracks tool gives guitarists an instant rhythm section to practice and jam with. Choose a genre — rock, punk, metal, surf, shuffle, blues, jazz, funk, soul, reggae, ska, pop, hip-hop, disco, house, Latin, Afrobeat, bossa nova, samba, or country — set your tempo anywhere from 40 to 240 BPM, and the looping drum beat plays in your browser. Every pattern is fully editable in the 16-step sequencer, so you can tweak the kick, snare, hi-hats, ride, shaker, tambourine, cowbell, clap, cross-stick, conga, toms, and crash to build your own groove. The kit uses real recorded drum samples (from the public-domain VCSL library) — no account, no sign-up, completely free.
