Drum Extractor & Drum Kit Splitter
Extract drums from a full song, or start with a drum recording. Separate kick, snare, toms, hi-hat, ride and crash, then listen, download the parts or combine them into one drum mix.
How it works
Turn a mixed groove into individual drum stems
1Step 1
Upload a song or drum stem
Use a full track, a drum bus, a loop or an isolated drum recording. Choose the input mode that matches your source.
2Step 2
Separate the drum kit
For a full song, the tool extracts drums first. It then splits the kit into kick, snare, toms, hi-hat, ride and crash outputs.
3Step 3
Solo, rebalance and export
Listen to individual hits, adjust the parts in the mixer and download the stems you need for practice, sampling or a new mix.
What you can do
Extract the drums and work on each part
Keep individual kit stems for detailed edits, or combine them into a single drum mix. Start from a full song to extract the drums first, or process an isolated drum recording directly.
Separate kick and snare
Hear the kick pattern without the snare backbeat, or focus on snare accents and ghost notes. Separate outputs make it easier to study the relationship between the low end and the groove.
Hear the cymbals on their own
Work with hi-hat, ride and crash outputs independently of the shells. Follow subdivisions, investigate cymbal accents or reduce a bright cymbal part in your practice mix.
Start from the source you have
Upload a full song when that is your only recording, or skip the extraction stage when you already have a drum stem. Both paths lead to the same kit-level workspace.
Build a mix from the kit parts
Solo, mute and change the level of each separated part, then export individual files or your mix. A returned full drum stem is kept separate from the kit pieces to avoid doubling the same performance.
Made for your workflow
Study, sample and reshape a drum performance
Keep the timing and feel of the original recording while making the kit easier to work with.

FAQ
Questions about drum kit splitter
Choose Start from a full song and upload your track. The tool extracts the drum performance, then splits it into kick, snare, toms, hi-hat, ride and crash. If you already have a drum loop, bus or isolated drum stem, choose Start from a drum recording to split it directly.
Yes. Turn off Solo, leave the kit parts you want unmuted, and mute Remaining audio and Full drum stem if they appear. Export the result as one drum-only mix. A returned Full drum stem can also be downloaded directly; keep it muted when mixing individual parts to avoid doubling the drums.
The kit separation targets kick, snare, toms, hi-hat, ride and crash. An additional remaining-audio output may contain material that does not fit those parts. The full-song workflow can also return the extracted full drum stem; these additional outputs depend on the result.
That is the purpose of kit separation, but the result depends on the recording. Overlapping hits, heavy compression, distortion and room sound can leave bleed or artifacts. Listen to busy sections as well as isolated hits when assessing the split.
You can mute or lower an individual kit part in the mixer and export the resulting mix. If a full drum stem is available, keep it muted while mixing the individual pieces, otherwise the original kit will be added back on top.
No. The outputs are audio stems from the performance you uploaded. They are useful for hearing or editing a pattern, but the tool does not generate a drum score or convert each hit into MIDI notes.
Yes. Download the individual results as MP3 or WAV, or export your adjusted mix. WAV is a useful choice when taking the parts into a DAW for further editing.
