Hello,

I am looking for a software that can play the chosen chords and also drums.

This way I can try to improvise on those chords.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

if you don't mind programing your own chord changes,
Reason 4.0 may be a good choice.

better sounds than band in a box
IMO band in a box is a very good option for practice, but sound to sterile for performance.

Band in a box ++++1
There are hundreds of free bb files on the web, but the package is great by itself.
