The original drum tracks have been removed, so you can create your own drum parts.

They include a metronome over the song to help you keep time. If you are new to playing drums with music, you’ll likely want to start with these versions. Then, as you become more confident, you can move to the non-metronome versions. The drum tracks have been removed on both versions.Metronome Tracks – CD 05No need to go out and buy an expensive metronome. We’ve included a variety of click tracks recorded at various tempos. You can put these on your portable MP3 player to take them anywhere you go. The tempos go from 55 BPM to 200 BPM in increments of 5 BPM (beats per minute).
