Drumless backing track

Drop a song and get it back without the drums: vocals, bass and everything else stay, the kit is gone. Play along, record your own drums over it, or study a part without the original drummer in the way.

What you get

One WAV file, 44.1 kHz 16-bit stereo: the song with the drums removed. Load it on this page to listen and trim a section before you download. For the drum stem on its own, use isolate drums; for every stem at once, the stem splitter.

Practising with it

Trim the section you are working on with the cutter, then loop it with Play selection. If you also want the original drums as a reference, the stem splitter gives you both files from the same upload.

What does it remove?

The drum kit: kicks, snares, hi-hats, toms and cymbals. Percussion that the model files under drums goes with it; hand percussion often stays in the mix.

How long can the song be?

Up to six minutes. WAV, AIFF and FLAC files that are too long are refused in your browser before anything is uploaded; MP3 length is checked on the server.

Do you keep my file?

Your file and the separated audio are stored on our server while the job runs and for one hour afterwards, then deleted automatically.

Will it sound perfect?

It is Demucs, the same separation model behind most paid stem services. Dense mixes, heavy reverb and live room mics leave some bleed; clean studio mixes separate very well. Load the result on the page and listen before you download.

Do I need an account?

You do not create an account. The first split asks for your email once per browser; the link in the mail signs that browser in for 30 days, and every split and download after that is one click. Now and then we mail about new tools, and every mail has a one-click unsubscribe.
