How do you find drum backing tracks? - Page 2

Hello helpful forum folk,

Probably seems like a dumb question, but does someone have a recommendation for a website, or software you can buy that you can use to add drum tracks to your recordings? I use Audacity on a Mac.
I listen to lots of the great tracks posted in the forum and many have nice drum beats. I'd rather not have to go buy a kit and learn how to play drums!
Cheers,
CanuckTodd

Hey
I actually make a lot of my own drum tracks in Cubase SX, and then use DFH Superior for the sounds. I either play them in from a keyboard, or programme them. Sometimes I am able to convince a drummer friend of mine to record tracks for me.
I have a copy of Cakewalk's drag and drop drummer, which is OK for creating tracks. The very first backing track I ever made I did using that. It is essentially midi files played in 2-4 bar phrases, by a real drummer. You can then select the ones you want and chain them together to create a part for a song.
I might post some tracks later - they are on a different PC.
All the best
