    Download a free copy of Audacity and then go here....https://www.freesound.org/search/?q=drums

    There are thousands of free drum samples to choose from as well as many other sounds.  You can paste your downloads into Audacity and mix and match or copy and paste repeatedly.

       Thanks but I've been told to download and try  Mixcraft 6 even after trial period you can still use program to compose drum tracks which is all I'm looking for .

      Thanks for that , Drumbot was stopped by my anti-virus so I didn't download , Drums on Demand downloaded free loops but still need a editor to piece loops together .

    I haven't tried this. No longer have Audacity so I can't play with it to see if it's possible. If this isn't possible I'm apologizing now. Sorry for leading you astray with good intentions.

    However if it is possible it'll take some tweaking and practice. Find yourself a drum track off of Youtube. Then use Audacity to chop it up as you need it. Guess the best way to do this is to use duplicate tracks. One above the other. Use the upper track as the main track. The bottom track is the one you cut up and move parts on. Say you want to move a drum fill and chorus part. Delete everything in front of that part on the bottom track. Line it up to the part of the top track it needs to be. Then delete or move all the upper track to make room for the new part. So what you'll end up with is the same drums played on two tracks. But never at the same time. Keep doing this till you have what you need.

    Hope this helps.

    In everyones defense DAWs aint cheap. Nor are good drum tracks. Unless your a drummer drum machines are hard to use and they aint cheap either.

    Another options are recorded drum loops, which you can just drag and drop into your DAW. Google "Drums on Demand." They are not as flexible as sequenced drum programming, but they are very easy to use, and relatively cheap - maybe around $50 USD.

      Like most things, you get what you pay for. If your music isn't worth spending $50 bucks for unlimited drum tracks of decent quality, then yeah ... cheapskate.

          I don't want unlimited drum tracks , I want to make my own tracks , did it ever occur to you that I might not have 50 bucks to spend on drum tracks ?? .

          Did it ever occur to you that I was just trying to help you, by listing two of the very cheapest methods of acquiring decent sounding drum tracks, before you obnoxiously told me to re-read the title of the post? I can't read your mind. If you want to spend zero dollars and get something for nothing, then say so up front.
