How to remove the drums from a song

Drummers want the song without the drummer; producers want the drummer without the song. It is one separation either way. The kit comes back as its own stem and everything else as theirs, so a drumless track is the mix with one track muted.

  1. Add your song: Drop a WAV, AIFF, MP3, M4A, FLAC or OGG.
  2. The kit is separated: BS-RoFormer splits the mix into drums, bass, vocals, guitar, piano and the rest, each on its own track.
  3. Download the drumless track: The first file back is the song without its drums, mixed in your browser from the other stems. The kit alone is the next one down.

Questions about the drum remover?

We have answers.

How do I make a drumless track?

Drop the song on this page. The drumless track, the song without its kit, is the first file in the results.

Is the drum remover free?

Yes, to start. A free account comes with 120 credits a month and separating a song is 20, with no card needed to start. Pro has 2,000 a month.

Can I isolate just the drums?

Yes. The drum stem is the isolated kit, and it is in the results beside the drumless track. The drum stem splitter takes it further, into kick, snare, hi-hat, toms and cymbals.

Does the drumless track stay in time with the original?

Yes. Every stem is the full length of the song and sample-accurate against it, so the drumless track lines up with the record.

Can I get the drum part as MIDI?

Yes. The drum stem can be transcribed: which drum was hit and exactly when, as notes.

  • A play-along that keeps the click of the song

    The drumless track is cut from the same timeline as the record, so the tempo is the band’s, not a grid’s: where the original pushes into a chorus, so does this. Bass, guitar, piano and vocals also come back as files of their own, if you would rather build the play-along yourself.

  • Drums are one of the two cleanest stems

    Drums and vocals are the most distinct things in a mix, and a separator has the most to work with on them. Kick, snare and toms come away cleanly. Cymbals are the hard part: a wash of ride or crash overlaps guitars and vocals up high, so that is where a trace is most likely to stay behind.

  • Hand percussion is its own question

    Shakers, congas and tambourine sit between the kit and the rest of the band, and in a busy mix they can fall on either side of the line. When they matter, the instrument separator has a percussion head of its own, apart from the drums.

Drum remover, drumless track maker, drum isolator: one job

A drum remover, a drumless track maker, a drum isolator, a drum extractor and a way to remove the drums from a song all name this one separation. To take the kit itself apart into kick, snare and cymbals, use the drum stem splitter.
