Performing Along with a Song

variety of styles selected for enhancing your practice
time. You can play the drums while listening to one of
these songs.

Song structure
A song contains MP3 or WAV audio tracks and drum
tracks (MIDI data) containing a drum performance.
For some internal songs there is a guide drum part on its
drum track, which you can mute in order to play along
with the song.
You can also use the QUICK REC function to record your
performance with the songs.
After doing so, when playing them back you can mute
the drum part you have recorded.
