Adding a simple drum track in place of a click track

Hi there,

I hate playing along to click tracks while trying to laying down rhythm. How can I create a simple drum track clip to play along with without getting into the MIDI stuff?
I'm using Sonar X-2 Producer.

You have bunches of drum audio files to work with in the Loops and One Shot library. Depending on when you picked up X2 Producer, there was also a Content Club drum loop library from Smart Loops called "SL Med Straight Rock 1" that may be in your store account.

Rick5 - I do the same. I can be more imaginative when I'm playing against a beat than against a click. So yes, I do that for all songs. I can always bring out the click if needed.

Thanks for your input gang.
I'll check out whatever loops that may be available.

You can also use the step sequencer to create a simple kick/snare pattern (or add some hi-hats and cymbals if you like), turn it into a groove clip and drag it across the length of your project. Step sequencer is terribly easy to use, especially for simple stuff.
