I'm producing a series of audio tracks for the NG audio portal right now. It is called the "Shred-A-Long" series. Since I don't currently have the funds to buy an interface for recording guitar, I figured I'd make something a little different for the NG community using my deep collection of drum samples.

This series is basically a virtual metal drummer, for you fellow metalheads to pick up your guitar or bass and jam with. It will never be late for practice, or get piss-drunk and claim it can still keep tempo (I still love you, drummers... nothing will ever totally replace you). You can use it as a tool for practicing your chops, or to generate new riffs for your expanding arsenal. If you like my drum patterns, and would like something custom-made for your metal (or whatever genre) song... then send me a PM and we'll work something out via email attachments or AIM. Also feel free to make your own song out of the session itself, if you would like. (If you post it somewhere just give me, Scag Baron, credit for the drum track)

Each "session" as I am calling them, will have a chart in the song description laying out the structure of the track for easy reference while playing. As a bassist in an experimental/technical metal band for over 5 years, I like my metal raw and crazy... so don't expect any simple Disturbed-esque beats from this series. Also, the sessions will range from different sub-genres like doom, death, grind, and "core".
