So you're into Country Rock? I was rather expecting some modernistic symphonic electronic wizardry stuff regarding all your tips and tricks LoL.

Where are the links ? These were posts showing how to make your own UserTrack Drums or Making RealDrums Styles with Band-in-a-Box® from DrumsOnDemand.com I don't know what bright spark would of deleted these post, all they had were an SGU template files that made the drum track into a UserDrumTrack when the user purchased them. You can also make multi stem realdrums from their multitrack ones.
I just hope the FBI has not infiltrated PG like they did with Twitter, until Elon came along smile
Now I got to go make new tutorials frown

This is interesting. I usually just make a pattern in Studio One and save it. I'll have to give this a try.

Here's some free multitrack drums @ 24bit 48khz, the only issue PG has never heard of this quality so you will need to down sample to 16bit 44.1khz otherwise you will just get noise and distortion.
https://www.prodrumtracks.net/free-drum-tracks
These can be made into UserTrack Drums just using the stereo track or Making RealDrums Styles with Band-in-a-Box® using the stems.
Stylemaking templates for RealDrums developers (< 1 MB)
These are text files that can be used as a template or starting point for making your own RealDrums styles. The Band-in-a-Box and PowerTracks help files have details about how to use the template - see the help file topic "Tutorial - Making RealDrums Styles". Note: RealDrums wave files must be 16/44.1 files.

You can do the same with other multitrack drums from other sites like drumsondemand.com or drum-drops.com
Here are some examples you can go by to create your own RealDrumStems
StripperStyleSw8^ RealDrums Stems 10
FunkMultiSw16 RealDrums Stems
You can download the youtube mp4 videos of them and have video drums also.
You can open in any DAW if you don't have Pro Tools.

Here are a selection of Multi Track Drums for FREE.


All the grooves can be downloaded as multi-tracks with the original ProTools Session file. You can take the multi-track stems and then process them however you want within your mix.

The videos have been mixed with specific EQ, compression, effects, etc..
All tracks have typically 12 microphones, with close mics on all drums, and Stereo room mics, and stereo Overhead mics.

These tracks are royalty free and you can use them in your own compositions.

I am still only part way through uploading tracks..... Apologies that there is not much here yet. But more on the way..

Here's some templates to make it easier.
There are SEQ RealBand templates,
There are Midi marker templates that will show what section go where for the RealDrum txt file template.
You can adjust them to any tempo then just drag the drum track sections in then render a stereo track and all the stems to individual files.

User_RealDrum_Templates.zip
realdrums_stylemaking_templates_Basic.zip

There are templates with shots so you can use a single hits from the stems to create these.
Now we should see some users upload some drums to the UserTrack Forum (instead of me for years n years uploading stuff frown ).

In \bb\Data\DrumGrooveNames.txt you can add the variations info:
Code:
1*SideStick, HiHat @Kick is played on the beat with the sidestick playing on
the eighth note with a hihat playing throughout
2*Snare @Kick is played on the beat with the snare playing on the eighth
note with a hihat playing throughout
3*Ride @Kick is played on the beat with the snare playing on the eighth note
with a ride playing throughout

PG deleted those original links that just contained templates ONLY, I think they must of employed some ex employees from Twitter that Elon sacked as there seems to be a lot of deleting going on.

These should be okay but there are no templates with them, I was going to make them up for UserTrackDrums and RealDrumStems but I could not be bothered making them up if they were just going to get deleted as I could not find the old templates from the above posts I went to the trouble to make to help Biab users:
All free multitrack drums that will work as Stems with Biab.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.

The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
