Solo kick for the pulse. Solo snare for ghost notes and backbeats. Then isolate hi-hat chatter. The drum kit splitter writes six drum files so you can rebuild the pocket piece by piece.

How to use this mode

Leave Drum Kit selected, then upload a full mix or a drums file. An online drum kit splitter job is a common next step after you already hold a whole-kit stem.

  1. 1

    Leave Drum Kit selected

    Drum Kit stays selected on this page. The drum kit splitter is ready to write six drum files from a full mix or from a drums file you already pulled.

  2. 2

    Add a mix or a drums file

    A full song works. A drums file works too. Many people split a drum stem here after a whole-kit pass, then open kick and snare on their own.

  3. 3

    Solo each kit piece

    Use this pass to split kick and snare, then check toms, crash, ride, and hats. Mute one piece to hear how the pocket changes.

Who it is for

Who can benefit

Drummers, beat makers, and mix engineers use the drum kit splitter to study timing, swap a kick sample, or ride crash and ride on separate faders.

Drummers

Study the snare pattern from its own file. Hear ghost notes and rim clicks. Practice the fill on toms with crash and ride parked on the side.

Beat makers

Swap a kick sample and keep the rest of the kit. Split kick and snare first, then layer a new punch under the original groove.

Mix engineers

Ride the crash file on its own fader. Duck ride under a vocal. Keep toms in the fill and leave kick and snare at the center.

Teachers

Hand a student the kick, snare, and cymbal files. Keep the remainder for time. Talk through the kit after each stem plays.

What people say

I muted hats and kept kick so the pocket opened up. The drum kit splitter gave me six drum files I could ride one by one.
Tasha B. · Drummer
I replaced the kick and kept the snare pocket. Six files made the swap clean. I still hear the original hats and toms around the new punch.
Cole N. · Beat maker
Crash and ride on their own made the chorus easier to ride. I ducked ride under the vocal and left kick and snare in the center.
