What Is the Drum Machine?
Create drum beats with a visual 16-step sequencer. Click cells to place kicks, snares, hi-hats, and more across a looping timeline. Choose from 10 genre presets (Hip-Hop, House, Rock, Lo-Fi, Trap, Jazz) or build from scratch.
All 8 drum sounds are synthesized in real-time using the Web Audio API — no sample files needed. Adjust BPM, swing, and volume. Export your beat as WAV or share via URL.
