Example result
In short
A drum remover takes the drums out of a finished song and keeps everything else. Drop your track above: the drum remover AI runs on a cloud GPU and returns a ready-mixed drumless track (WAV) plus the vocals, drums, bass and other stems, usually in a few minutes. It costs 7 credits per song (about $1.05 or less).
How it works
How to use the Drum Remover
- 1
Drop the song
Drag the song into the drum remover: MP3 or WAV, songs up to 10 minutes. A WAV over 20 MB is compressed to a 256–320 kbps MP3 in your browser before upload.
- 2
Remove the drums
Press Split (7 credits, shown before you confirm). The drum remover splits the song into four stems on a cloud GPU and mixes everything except drums and percussion into one drumless track.
- 3
Play along
Download the drumless WAV, set a click at the song's tempo with the BPM finder, and play the part yourself.
What you get from the drum remover
Under the hood, the drum remover runs a full 4-stem split — vocals, drums, bass and other — then mixes everything except the drums back together, so you get a drumless track you can press play on, not a folder of parts to assemble.
The same job hands you the drum stem on its own, so if you came for a drum isolator or drum extractor — to transcribe a part, study a groove or sample a break from your own track — it is already in the download list.
- Drumless track (WAV) — vocals, bass and other instruments, mixed and ready
- Drum stem — kick, snare, hi-hats, cymbals and percussion on their own
- Vocals, bass and other stems — for building your own practice mix
- All separated parts — up to 12, such as guitar, keys or backing vocals, depending on the song
Who uses a drum remover
Most people use a drum remover for play-along practice. The rest come for the drum stem.
Drummers practicing
Play the part yourself over the real band. A drumless track from a drum remover feels like a rehearsal, not a metronome.
Covers and band rehearsals
Learn a cover before the band meets, or record a drum cover over the original arrangement — on songs you own or have permission to use (posting needs permission too — see the FAQ).
Transcription
Solo the drum stem to hear ghost notes, hi-hat openings and fills that disappear in the full mix.
Producers and remixers
Replace the drums on your own song — a Suno or Udio track included, finished with Suno mastering — or sample a break from your own catalog.
Practice drums with a drumless track
Start with the tempo: run the original through the BPM finder or tap it in with Tap BPM, and set a click. If the band drifts — many older recordings were not played to a click — drop the click once you know the part.
Learn the part from the isolated drums first, looping the fill you keep missing. Then build a practice mix — drumless track at full level, original drum stem 10–12 dB underneath as a guide — and mute the guide when you are ready.
- Keep the headphone level just above your kit, not louder
- Record yourself and compare against the original drums
- Need a bass remover instead? Same split — mute the bass stem
What the drum remover keeps and removes
The drumless track leaves out everything the model hears as drums or percussion.
| Part of the song | In the drumless track? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Kick, snare, toms, cymbals | Removed | Acoustic and programmed kits alike |
| Percussion (shakers, tambourine, congas) | Removed | Counted as drums, so it leaves with the kit |
| Bass guitar, synth bass, 808 bass lines | Kept | In the bass stem as well |
| Lead and backing vocals | Kept | In the vocals stem as well |
| Guitars, keys, synths, strings | Kept | Grouped in the "other" stem, or as separate parts |
| Drum reverb and room mics | Mostly removed | Faint tails or cymbal wash can remain on dense mixes |
Typical behavior on produced music. Results vary with the mix — listen in the browser before you download.
How good is the drum remover?
On modern pop, hip-hop and EDM — programmed or tightly produced drums — the kit comes out cleanly and the rest of the song sounds full. Rock and live-band recordings are harder: cymbals wash into the guitars and vocals, and room mics carry the kit into everything, so a faint ghost of the hi-hats or crashes can remain.
For practice that rarely matters: once you play along at volume, your own kit covers it.
Need a different split? For vocals out, use the vocal remover or instrumental maker; for the voice alone, the vocal isolator or acapella extractor — 2-stem splits for 4 credits.
Tips for a better play-along track
A few minutes of setup makes the drumless track far more useful behind the kit.
- Upload the best file you have. The WAV master beats a downloaded MP3; if it is over 20 MB, your browser compresses it once before upload.
- Build a whole setlist. Remove drums from song after song, then bring every drumless track to the same level with the audio normalizer.
- Expect cymbal ghosts on live recordings. Play over them — they disappear under a real kit.
- Download everything right after the split. Each new split is charged again, files mixed in your browser — including the drumless WAV — are gone once you close or reload the page, and other download links expire after about one week.
Recorded your drum cover? Master the mix.
Mix your drums with the drumless track, then compare three AI masters of the bounce at matched loudness. The preview costs nothing; downloading the WAVs costs 10 credits or is included in a plan.
How do I remove drums from a song?
Drop the song into the drum remover at the top of this page and press Split. An AI model separates it into four stems on a cloud GPU and mixes everything except the drums into a drumless WAV, usually in a few minutes.
How many credits does the drum remover cost?
7 credits per song (about $1.05 or less) — the same as a 4-stem split, because it is one. Running the same song again is a new GPU job and costs again; failed splits are refunded automatically. The trial pack is $2.99 for 20 credits, pack credits last 12 months, and plans from $7.99 a month include stem credits every month. See pricing.
Can I get only the drums, as a drum isolator?
Yes. The drum stem — kick, snare, cymbals and percussion — comes with every job, next to the drumless track. There is no separate drums-only price, because the model separates all four stems either way.
Does it remove percussion too?
Yes. The drum remover counts shakers, tambourines, congas and other percussion as drums, so they leave with the kit. If the model returns percussion as its own part, you can add it back from the separated parts in your DAW.
What is the difference between the drum remover and the stem splitter?
They run the same 4-stem job at the same price. The drum remover adds the drumless track, mixed for you as a WAV; the stem splitter gives you the stems and parts to mix yourself.
Does my song get uploaded?
Yes. Stem separation needs a GPU, so the file is uploaded to our storage and processed by our separation provider. It is used only to create your files. Save the drumless WAV before you close the page — it is mixed in your browser — while links to the separated parts stay valid for about one week.
Can I post a drum cover played over the drumless track?
Use the drum remover only on music you own or have permission to use. A cover over the drumless track still uses the original recording and the song, so for anyone else's music, posting it needs permission from the owners of both first. Your own songs are fine. This is general information, not legal advice.
