RAYE - Ice Cream Man. drums backing track
Built for players who want to hear the groove more clearly and get to practice without detours.
About this version
Some drum parts make sense on paper and still feel odd under your hands. This version is for closing that gap a bit faster.
Useful for
working on groove and feel
Useful for
cleaning up fills and transitions
Useful for
repeating the section before the section that usually goes wrong
A simple way in
A version for hearing the groove, fills, and transitions more clearly while keeping the shape of the original song intact.
Start with the tricky section, not the whole song. A few good repetitions usually tell you more than one rushed pass from top to bottom.
Once it feels settled, go back to the full arrangement and check whether it still holds together. That is usually where the real answer is.

So this producer hit me up on the dm He told me hey I really like what you are doing He told me come round to the studio let’s cook it, He told me come to catch a vibe and make some music. But when I got there should’ve heard what he was saying Tryna touch me, tryna fuck me I’m not playing. I should have left that place as soon as I walked in it, how God damn dare you do that to me really. Uh Coming like the ice cream man Til I felt his ice cold hands And how I pay the price now damn God damn, no what the, God damn Everything you did it left me in a ruin And no I didn’t say a word I guess that proves it I’m a woman, ah yeah Cus I’m a woman I’m a very fucking brave strong woman And I’ll be damned if I let a man ruin How I walk, how I talk, how I do it Man I’ve been broken for a moment, I’ve been through it no It’s even harder to be brave alone I was a girl now I’m grown Im a woman. A very fucking strong woman Ah yeah And I was 7 Was 21, was 17 and was 11 It took a while to understand what my consent means If I was ruthless they’d be in the Penitentiary But all the stress of being honest wouldn’t help me I pushed it down but it was living in me rent free And then I fell into somethings that were unhealthy A place where no one heard me asking them to help me Cus he came in like the ice cream man Til I felt his ice cold hands (And how I pay the price now damn) I should’ve been protected damn God damn, no what the, God damn Everything you did it left me in a ruin And no I didn’t say a word I guess that proves it I’m a woman, ah yeah I wish I could say how I feel, how I felt and explain why I’m silently blaming myself, cus I put on these faces pretending I’m fine, then I go to the bathroom and I press rewind in my head, always going round and round in my head, your fingerprints stuck a stain on my skin, you made me frame myself for your sins you pathetic sad excuse of a man Ooooh Ooooh I’m a very strong woman And I remind myself When I really get low And the feelings take a hold I’m a very fucking brave strong woman Cus I’m a woman (Yes I am a very brave) I’m a very very brave strong woman And I’ll be damned if I let a man ruin How I walk, how I talk, how I do it Man I’ve been broken for a moment, I’ve been through it no It’s even harder to be brave alone I was a girl now I’m grown Im a woman. A very f strong woman Ah yeah
