RealDrums for Band-in-a-Box!

Live audio recordings of top studio drummers!

RealDrums are not "samples" of single drum hits; they are full recordings, lasting from 1 to 8 bars at a time, playing along in perfect sync with the other Band-in-a-Box tracks.

As well as incredible drum sounds, you'll hear the exact rhythms played by the drummer, including features seldom heard in MIDI such as subtle drum rolls, variations in ride cymbal taps, and complex fills.

RealDrums sound real because they ARE real!

There are hundreds of RealDrums styles available for Jazz, Rock-Pop, Country and more! All of the RealDrums Sets are included in the UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, and Audiophile Editions of Band-in-a-Box.
