    Default Blues drum loops

    I'm looking to start studying slow blues rhythms in my lessons. I need a good 12/8 drum loop that covers 12 bars - just the drums. I just need the MP3 too - yes there are some on YouTube but I don't have a computer at my guitar teacher's studio.

    Don't mind paying for one at all, but don't want to purchase any subscriptions. I did find **one** that was perfect...but the guy wants people to buy a $24.95 subscription to have access to all his drum tracks...frankly one track will cover me for quite a while. I don't want access to 50+ hiphop/funk loops that I'll never use lol.

    Basically after about an hour of googling I get a ton of hits that don't seem to apply to what I'm looking for. I'm starting to think I will have to buy a software package and make my own.

    Anyone have any recommendations?

    If you have a friend with a Mac they could probably put something together for you using Garageband

    that's interesting but is more about assembling the final mix - they provide a bunch of short recordings representing 1 beat and you assemble to make the final mix. Definitely an option but a bit more than I'm looking for.

    I found several sites that take a youtube video and etract an MP3 of the audio - I think I'll just go with that for now.

    I did offer before to convert any midi drum track to wav format but no one on this forum seem to take up the offer

    Let me know if you want me to convert a file for you.

    You would think there are Hydrogen (freeware) homemade ones to be found.
