I use this channel when I teach private drum lessons so my students and I can jam to a track and work on concepts or just learn the basics. It truly is an amazing resource. I hope it stays around even if no new material is added. If I think of anything constructive I’ll definitely throw it out there. You gotta do what you gotta do my brother. You’ve proven to yourself that you can accomplish this much so who knows what other extraordinary things are in store for you. Thank you for your wonderful work ✌🏻❤️💪

Just wanted to express my appreciation for your hard work. I love your tracks (especially the funk ones), and I think it's very generous of you to produce and publish so much great stuff for free. Keep up the great work!

Really appreciate all of your hard work. The drumless tracks are fantastic and help with teaching students as well.

Thank you for everything you do. After being away from drumming for almost a decade, I've found your tracks to be a priceless tool for getting back in shape. I'll check out your site and invest in your content. It's worth it, man. 🙌

Thank you so much for doing these! I practice with your tracks almost every day. My recommendation would be to make sure the bass is always loud enough. I don't think you've had an issue with that, but i've heard some other channels have the bass too quiet.

Free Drumless Tracks
Hi FDT community,
It's Andre here. I know it's been a while since I've posted a personal message, but I suppose now is as good a time as any. First, I just want to say thank you to all of the subscribers of this channel. I started the Free Drumless Tracks YouTube channel and website back in July of 2014. I'm happy and humbled to see what it has grown into. Some of you have been with me from the beginning and I really appreciate you following and supporting this endeavor. And a very big thank you to the monthly FDT patrons. You're contributions do not go unnoticed or appreciated. My intent has and still is to provide drummers with a variety of original drumless tunes to play with. Whether for practice or performance. I'm constantly browsing YouTube and the internet and I'm always finding new drum covers to my original music as well as some of the other producers that have worked with me. I'm always honored to see drummers covering an FDT tune. I do my best to add each video I find on YouTube to the FDT Drummers playlist. There are hundreds of videos I've found and probably hundreds if not thousands more. Unfortunately, I'm just one person and I've been providing this resource for about 6 years now. The channel has reached 50,000+ subscribers, and I'm quite grateful for that, but the channel only generates a limited amount of revenue. As many of you know, I took about a 7 month break from producing drumless tracks and just recently started this month. Well, I work a full time job now. I enjoy music and the arts, but at the end of the day, I have bills to pay just like you. I not only had to put music on hold, but film, animation, and other creative related things. But due to COVID-19, I've been able to spend some time making new tracks again. Also, thank you, thank you, thank you for watching and sharing the drumless track "Feel That - Drumless". In another 12,000 views, FDT will have it's first 1M views video! So definitely watch and share again. Here's the link:

Also, I want to make you all aware of the limited time offer on the site. Many of you have already taken advantage of the $29.99 FDT Lifetime Membership offer that I have right now. If you haven't done so yet, you should get it. It's a one-time payment and I give you access to all the free and premium tracks on the site for as long as you have an account. 300+ drumless tracks and counting. If you haven't taken advantage of this yet, the link is below. It won't last forever.

Lastly, I would like to hear back from you. Tell me what you like, dislike, want to see more/less of, if an annual subscription service is something you would participate in, and whatever else you'd like to share about the FDT channel and website. Please keep in mind that I basically compose 95% of the music you hear as well as do all of the administrative parts for this YouTube channel and the website while also working a full-time job. So, if you don't mind, please leave a message. I may not respond immediately, but I will read all of the comments and take them into consideration. Again, thank you.
Andre Forbes,
