Obtaining drum backing tracks?

What's Hot
Is there a source for obtaining backing tracks for popular songs, particularly the drumming part?  So we can just play rhythym & lead over the top.
   How do you guys go on? I suppose I could use something like Audacity and create my own - but I'm thinking that would be very time-consuming and not very good!  Any suggestions?

    This looks pretty good. If I've read it right, I can download an mp3 the song of my choice for two quid in any format; i.e. with the tracks I choose missing. The download any other combination for no extra cost. Is that right? So I can try it with all but drums missing, Singer and Guitar1 only missing, Bass only missing and all three just for the one-off price. Is that right?

        Any other suggestions out there?

    If your looking for real stems from albums try (removed as not suitable for PC users).

    You'll need to download Audacity to extract the files, but its free.

    You can download the individual stems from each song (drums will be mixed tho’)

    I'd be careful with this site. I looked at it and …

       On my Windows 10 PC, I soon got the message "Windows has detected a virus... etc.  … ring this number immediately or we'll have to disable your computer and you'll lose your photos, etc."

       On my Windows 7 PC after a minute or so, Malwarebytes. blocks the site for trying to display Malvertising (advertising which attempts to load Trojans on your computer.)

       It may be a temporary thing .... or maybe not?

    I've been using it with a mac and had no problems, I'm afraid I have no experience with a PC.

    No problems, the site is just a collection of multi tracks which were ripped from a bunch of games such as Rock band and Guitar Hero. If you search the internet for multi tracks you should find them elsewhere, they come in formats such as mogg and ogg and need the software Audacity to extract the Wav files.

    Whatever you don't click any of the links or ring the number.

    Just run whatever antivirus you are using and I bet it comes up with no problems.  Click one of those links and then you will get problems for sure - quite possibly Ransomware.

    About 3 years ago I had a very authentic looking Windows message but clicked on the link and got 'ransomed' and lost everything I had on the computer. Basically it just encrypts everything and you have to buy the code to unlock the encryption. Trouble is, if you call them then they will charge more (you're talking hundreds) with no guarantee they'll give you the code.

    Plus giving them bank details would open up a whole lot of shit for you too.

    i got this warning when buying a plugin. The site was legit but i got a warning off windows. next thing ive installed some kind of virus cleaner and at the end they want money to get rid of the detected dodgey file. No thanks , I uninstalled it and ran windows defender. no action needed etc etc.
