Hi David,

We were just talking about that recently on the board. Though 
members have various methods of minimizing the distraction of 
prerecorded drums when they play along with MP3s, CDs, et al., no 
real method of removing embedded tracks is possible, short of 
getting your hands on the master tapes used to create the final 
mixdown and eliminating all of the tracks with drums on them. The 
only ready to hand method that I can think of is to take some of the 
early stereo recordings (the Beatles qualify sometimes), in which 
the drums were panned all the way to the left or right channel, mute 
that channel on your playback system, and play along with what's 
left, maybe by panning the drums through the module to the muted 
channel.
