recording of custom drum tracks for $100

i Play Drums since 1977, the early years as self-taught drummer, i started studying in 1983 and in 1986 had my first professional gig ! I played in many many bands and played (and loved) many many different styles and genres of music, and still i do. I think there are only 2 categories of music : the one done properly, with passion and honesty and the one without true love. I recorded many tracks, i don't know exactly how many, but i remember at least about hundred albums and as many singles, from "80 disco music songs to electric jazz albums or folk-rock songwriters' concept albums.
