This was a response to a request for Indie Drums.

As this request is over 3 years old there's some here you can get straight away https://www.drumdrops.com/recording/indie-rock-drops-songwriter-series
then go here
http://realband.org/tutorial-drums1.html
or easier
http://realband.org/tutorial-utd.html

There's also a lot of free stereo only samples here you can drop straight into Biab audio track or RealBand and save as UserTrack Drums.

Set RealBand/Biab to the same tempo then Import the wav.
Set part markers where the fills are and green where it changes drumming.
On the second last bar where the Ending starts set F5 Bar Settings > UserTrack Development Check > Ending Starts on this Bar (4 bar ending)
Save as UserTrack with Drum in the file name.

If you want to use live drums that don't have a constant tempo:

I made this tutorial for UserTrack Drums without a constant tempo but found out that when the tempo map is saved in the SGU it rounds each tempo off that causes everything to be out of sync so until that is fixed in Biab use RealBand. This guide will show how to convert a drum (& instruments) track to a constant tempo.

If you have a live recording you want to add tracks to and the tempo varies a bit in you drum tracks just load it into ACW in RB (as Biab doesn't do an accurate tempo map) and ACW will quickly line up the beats to bars, just set the first beat of bar 1, then adjust any bar markers if need be, ACW will do the rest. You will have chords but you can Edit > Chords > Delete then enter the chord of the song.
You can then click Metronome > write to track,
this will give you a tempo mapped midi you can drag into any DAW first then the audio tracks.

Full screen



Now to convert it to a constant tempo for a UserTrack or use in Biab:

Export the the Metronome midi track by dragging the track number to DROP MID.

Drag the Midi into Reaper (Reaper is free to try n try http://www.reaper.fm/download.php ) import the tempo map of the midi file.

Drag the Drum track into Reaper (and instruments).

Create an Action Hotkey to move to next beat and insert Stretch Marker, Actions > Show Action List > New .

View show Master Track.

Right click on Tempo points > select all

Right click on Tempo points > reset points to zero/center

Highlight from start to end.

Item > Snap Stretch Markers within time selection to grid.

Save Track/s to wav

Now you can bring it in Band in a Box, RealBand or PowerTracks with a constant tempo. [/quote]
