Drum Extractor

You can upload files in MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A/AAC, or OGG format. The drum extractor accepts audio files up to 90 MB in size and up to 10 minutes long. Links to YouTube or other streaming sites are not accepted, so you need the actual audio file on your device to start the separation process.

The drum extraction is handled by Demucs htdemucs, an open-source model developed by Meta AI research. We run this model on our own servers to process your audio. It analyzes the track and separates the drums from the vocals, bass, and other instruments, giving you an isolated drum stem.

Splitting the audio and previewing the result is free. You can process one song a day without creating an account, or five songs a day when you sign in. Every split generates a 30-second preview of your isolated drums, starting at the 30-second mark of your song, or from the beginning if the track is under a minute long.

The tool works quickly to get your stems ready. You usually get the 30-second preview of your separated drums in about one minute. If you decide to download the full track, a typical four-minute song is fully split and ready to save to your device in about three minutes.

Downloading a complete song costs 125 credits, which equals $0.50. For this price, you get the isolated drums along with the vocals, instrumental, bass, and other stems. All five stems are provided in two formats: 320 kbps MP3 and 16-bit, 44.1 kHz WAV. You can buy 1,250 credits for a one-time payment of $5.

The files you upload and the drum stems you extract are only available to you. To keep our servers clear, your original uploads are deleted after one day, and the separated stems are deleted after seven days. You must have the right to process any audio you upload to the drum extractor.

Drummers who want to record a cover video can use the tool to remove the original drums from a song. By downloading the instrumental stem without the drums, you get a clean backing track. You can then record yourself playing along and post the video to your social media channels.

Producers looking for drum breaks can extract the drums from an old recording. Once you isolate the drum stem, you can chop the WAV file in your sampler or digital audio workstation to create new drum loops and patterns for your own beats.

Students learning a complex drum pattern can isolate the drums to hear exactly what the original drummer is playing. Removing the guitars, vocals, and bass makes it easier to transcribe the kick, snare, and cymbal hits accurately for your practice sessions.

Electronic music producers making a remix can use the drum extractor to separate the rhythm section from the original track. You can take the isolated drum stem and layer it with new synthesizers and heavy basslines to change the genre of the song completely.
