Drum Play-Along - Dying Hearts Desire "Calling"

Easy Drumming That Sounds Hard

In this video, Dave Atkinson jams along to “Calling” a song from Dying Hearts Desire, a modern Christian rock group that he was a member of. This rock drum play-along is a great place for you to practice all kinds of double bass patterns, tom-tom drum beats, hand-to-feet combos, and rock drum beats and fills. This free drum play-along comes with two MP3s that you can download and use to play along or study with – one with the drum tracks removed and an alternate version with a metronome added in.
