Congratulations, you're the new drummer with the Pop Styles Band! After you pass your "audition," you work your way up through bigger and better events until you're onstage in a large festival arena.

You get to work with: world-class musicians Gary Grainger on bass (who's played with John Scofield, Maysa), Derek Wille on keyboards (worked with Cher, Chic), Alvin White on guitar (also with Najee, Jane L. Powell), and introducing Stephanie Diamond on vocals.

A little coaching from Wes Crawford starts you off in each section, then the session begins! This simulation puts you behind the drumset, right in the middle of the action. Your virtual band members pour out encouraging visual cues to bring out your best playing. This play-a-long is a valuable tool for young drummers that want to learn performance skills with a cast of professional respected world-class musicians.

Using the Play-Along is easy -- bring your drumset and computer together, preferably with headphones, click the video link and join the band in their adventures and misadventures on the road! No computer handy? Then use the downloadable MP3s -- they are the same tunes for those times when only want the audio.

There are ten original songs to perform representing a variety of popular styles, each at a different “gig”, including:

* Your band audition
* Several types of nightclubs
* A wedding party
* The beach
* A recording studio
* Your grand finale: a large arena festival!

**Bonus** >> 10 Drum Charts are also included in this course
