This app also includes 12 key drum and bass tracks - each with a drone or pedal point bass and swing drums at 120 bpm for 4 minutes (repeat as needed).
The drummer Brian Stever (briansteever.com) joins Jeff Harshbarger (bass) so you can practice with a drone in time.
This is great for jazz players and those working on their swing feel.
This is a fantastic tool for both practice and teaching.
