It might work and then again, it might be a dismal failure, but it only takes a few seconds to generate the tracks to try it.

I use this all the time in the work I do.... but of course, the lines between country and rock are becoming blurred these days anyway.


To add to Herb's excellent advice don't forget MIDI. With a little work you can make MIDI drums as busy or plain as you want. A good sounding drum source works helps also.
