Free Online Drum Machine

Yes. It is free, needs no account and runs in your browser on a computer or phone.

Press Copy Link to Beat. The pattern, tempo and swing are stored in the link itself, so anyone who opens it hears the same beat. Nothing is saved on a server.

They are synthesized live by your browser, in the style of a classic analogue drum machine, so there is nothing to download.

Not yet. For MIDI of a real drum performance, upload a song to GrooveSheet and it transcribes the drum part to MIDI and sheet music.

Yes. Upload the song and GrooveSheet writes out the drum part, kick, snare, hi-hat and cymbals, as sheet music and MIDI. Every song starts with a free 10-second preview.

Each row is one drum and each column is a sixteenth note, so the 16 columns make one bar of 4/4. The numbers under the grid count the beats: 1 e & a, 2 e & a and so on. Light up a cell to play that drum on that sixteenth.

Swing delays every second sixteenth, so straight sixteenths start to shuffle. Around 10 to 20 percent gives funk and hip-hop their lilt; 33 percent is a full triplet shuffle. The bar length never changes, only where the in-between notes land.

A beat is a more musical click. Program the groove of the song you are learning, play along on a kit or a practice pad, and raise the tempo as it settles. Copy the link to save the beat or send it to your band.

No. The free tools need no account and no download. They run in your browser, and nothing you play or drop in is uploaded.

Yes, in any current mobile browser. MIDI keyboards and pad controllers need Chrome, Edge or Opera, on a computer or an Android phone.

GrooveSheet turns any song into sheet music, MIDI and separated stems with AI: drums, bass, guitar, piano and more. Every song starts with a free 10-second preview.
