What is Song rhythm tracks?
{{no sources|date=January 2024}} '''Song Rhythm Tracks''' are [[musician]]'s [[backing tracks]] that are composed entirely of [[Percussion instrument|percussion]] and/or [[Drum|drums]] and arranged for a song. They do not include any [[harmony]] or [[melody]] parts. They are neither (i) traditional song backing tracks, which include harmonic accompaniment, nor (ii) traditional rhythm tracks, which are not arranged for a song. == Uses == Musicians, including singers, use these tracks to support both their practice and performance of popular song.

Not only would one person play along with a track, but a few people could join in. If they are lucky, they may just come up with a killer song. == Comparisons in use == Full song backing tracks provide a fuller arrangement of a song than song rhythm tracks do but they may be limited in the facilities to re-arrange / re-mix the backing track. For instance, there might be instruments included that the musicians wish to remove from the mix. Song Rhythm Tracks can be used as the basis for an arrangement generally without requirements of re-arranging the song rhythm tracks. Full song backing tracks are often used by singers as their sole accompaniment. Song rhythm tracks are used by single, or groups of, musicians that do not have a [[drummer]]. As rhythmic backing does not include harmony, song rhythm tracks are simpler arrangements than full song backing and are arranged to the musical [[sectional]] and [[chorus structure]] of the song. These arrangements may be comparable to a drummer's accompaniment and can be used as the rhythm tracks in producti
