Trading 4's and 8's Jazz Drumless Tracks

Write your awesome label here.
In Jazz, trading 4 or 8 measure solos between drums and other instruments is a key part of the music. We call this trading fours or trading eights. This Jazz drumless tracks collection will help you get better at this important skill. 

It includes Jazz backing tracks for drums in Swing, Bossa Nova, and Samba styles, along with drum charts. Each drumless track has 3 mix options:

1. Bass playing during your solos
2. No bass playing during your solos
3. Bass only for playing longer solos

These mixes help you improve timing, soloing, and develop better internal rhythm by challenging you to play with and without bass support.

The included drum charts are also essential for understanding song form and solo structure.  This is crucial for playing live performances, at rehearsals or in the recording studio.

By practicing with these Jazz drumless tracks, you’ll sharpen your creativity, timing, and reading ability, and become much more confident with your soloing.

To learn how to Trade Fours and Eights, see my Jazz Drum Soloing Course. You'll learn 4 other types of soloing and how to come up with endless ideas fro your solos! 

After your payment is processed you will have access to the video player that has your mp3 and PDF downloads. There, you'll find a short video explaining how to download your files.

So much fun! The tracks are swinging and sounding excellent and is so much fun to play to it. And the best way of practicing / enjoying the trading.

Really useful stuff!  An excellent way to practice trading. Well recorded with a great mixture of tunes/ different feels. Really good time throughout as well even when the bass drops out!!
