Features

Use the drum remover to extract drums as one kit stem. Mute the kit for a drumless mix. Keep the whole pocket together before you open a six-piece split.

Whole kit on one file

The drum remover keeps kick, snare, hats, toms, and cymbals on drums. The whole kit stays together so you hear the pocket as one performance.

Drumless mix

Other is the remainder of the mix. The drumless mix is the play-along bed. Bass, vocals, and harmony stay in place with the kit muted.

Online drum remover

The online drum remover previews both files in the browser. Solo the kit. Mute the kit. Download when you are ready to practice or to sketch a remix.

Isolate drums

Use isolate drums to loop the kit and copy the groove. Hear backbeats, fills, and crash hits as one stem before you split pieces later.

Who it is for

Who can benefit

Drummers, producers, and teachers use this page to remove drums from song files, study the groove, and hand out a drumless mix for play-along.

  • Drummers

    Mute the kit and play time against the bed. Practice without drums on the remainder of the mix, then solo drums to check your fill against the original pocket.

  • Producers

    Audition a drumless mix before a deeper kit split. Lift the drums file to hear the pocket, then decide if kick and snare need their own pass.

  • Teachers

    Hand a student a drum-reduced bed. Keep the whole kit on one file for listening, then let them play along on the remainder of the mix.

I muted the kit and practiced the chorus on the drumless mix. The drum remover wrote the bed I play along with, and the drums file still holds the whole pocket.
