Please note that RealDrums require Band-in-a-Box 2007 or later, or PowerTracks Pro Audio 12 or later.

With world-class drummer Terry Clarke sitting behind the kit, you’ve got everything you need to take your Jazz or Bossa Masterpiece to the next level! Terry’s got everything covered; using both brushes and sticks with several variations each to choose from. You can use either brushes-only, sticks-only, or for some variety, you can have Terry switch to sticks halfway through your song to give it an extra boost of energy!

RealDrums Set 1 is included in the Pro version of Band-in-a-Box for Windows and the basic PowerTracks Pro Audio package. RealDrums Sets 1-3 are included in the Band-in-a-Box MegaPAK for Windows and the PowerTracks Pro Audio PowerPAK. ALL the RealDrums Sets are included in the Band-in-a-Box SuperPAK, Band-in-a-Box UltraPAK for Windows, PowerTracks Pro Audio PowerPAK Plus or MultiPAK and the OmniPAK.

These are audio drum styles that replace the MIDI Drum track with actual recordings of top studio Jazz/Rock/Country drummers! These are not "samples" of single drum hits; they are full recordings, lasting from 1 to 8 bars, playing along in perfect sync with the other Band-in-a-Box tracks, and PowerTracks recordings. For example, choose a brushes style, and you will now hear lush Jazz brushes, exactly as you'd hear if the drummer was in the room with you. The results are dramatically better than MIDI. They sound like a real drummer, because they are recordings of a real drummer. And adding a real instrument to the mix makes all of the Band-in-a-Box parts sound more authentic. In PowerTracks, add a RealDrums track to an old recording, and it will play in perfect sync to the original MP3 file. As well as improved drum sounds, you are hearing the exact rhythms played by the drummer, including features not seen in MIDI (subtle drum rolls, variations in ride cymbal taps, complex fills, etc.). A "RealDrums" dialog allows you to set whether you want to hear RealDrums with all styles, no styles, or somewhere in between.
