The only Train drum track that sounds anything like Get Back is CountryTrain8, I don't think that rhythm pattern is Train, but will use it for now. I am not trying to cover Get Back, but need that galloping rhythm, with a double snare hit before the 1 and 3 of each bar.
That galloping drum style isn't a train beat. I'm not exactly sure what it's called, drummers I've worked with in the studio always just referred to it as a gallop.
I'm not aware of anything close in BIAB, but it would be a great one to request. I would use something like that on occasion myself.
Each of those styles has hundreds of drum tracks. Did you find something specific that you thought was in a gallop pattern?
Will, I entered the song you mentioned: "Running up that Hill" in the StylePicker, and the Styles that were recommended were provided.
I listened to the Pre-made Demo samples from several, including _ACFNK16 which I felt potentially had a rhythm similar to what you described (at least my interpretation of 'galloping drum pattern').
But I don't understand what you mean by 'Each of those styles has hundreds of drum tracks'. Each style only has one drum track, or have I missed your point completely? Appreciate your clarification.

I do not understand how to use styles, I usually start with a default style like LA Hard Rock, and just pick my instruments. I need to study the styles and how to use them

OK This was my workflow:
Open StylePicker
In top RH corner, under 'Type a a familiar song title', enter the song title: "Running up that Hill" and press the 'Enter' button
Using Quick Play, listen to the recommended style suggestions which are sorted 'best to worst'
Shortlist a selection that I hope are helpful
Respond to the original request with these suggestions
It would possibly be beneficial for you to study more about the functionality / deliverables of the StylePicker capabilities. Not all suggestions are perfect, but they do provide a starting point.
I hope this has assisted in some way.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
