Make beats with an MPC-style drum machine in your browser

Play 16 drum pads with your keyboard, program patterns in the step sequencer, add swing and export your beat. Free, with no download and no signup.

A full drum machine that runs in a browser tab

DRUMMY is an online drum machine and beat maker built around the workflow of a classic 16-pad sampler. Every sound is synthesised in the browser, so there is nothing to install and nothing to wait for. Hit Z X C V, A S D F, Q W E R and 1 2 3 4 to play the pads, press Space to start the loop, and Enter to record.

Finger drumming

Sixteen velocity-sensitive pads across four banks — 64 sounds in total. Hit a pad lower for a softer note, or plug in a MIDI pad controller and play with real velocity. Note repeat rolls a held pad on the grid for hi-hat rolls and trap hats.

Step sequencer

Record live or draw hits straight onto the 16-step grid. Drag a step up or down for velocity, sideways to nudge it off the grid, and dial in swing until the loop breathes. Four patterns chain together into a song.

Sampler and chopper

Drop in any audio file or record from your microphone. DRUMMY finds the transients, slices the sample and lays the chops across the pads. Drag a single slice onto one pad, or stack it as a velocity layer.

Export what you make

Bounce the loop to a pad with resample, download it as a WAV, export the pattern as MIDI, or copy a link that rebuilds your beat exactly as you left it.

Play a classic groove

Sixteen rhythms that shaped modern music, each one a complete arrangement — main groove, variation, breakdown and fill — on a kit built only for it. Press play, then take it apart.

Start from a genre

Each of these loads a different kit and a groove that is idiomatic to the style — press play and start editing.

Learn a rhythm

Playable, editable breakdowns of the patterns that underpin most modern drum programming.

Frequently asked

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no signup, no trial and no download. Everything runs locally in your browser.

Can I use my own samples?

Yes — drop any audio file onto the sampler, or record through your microphone. DRUMMY chops it automatically and you can drag individual slices onto pads.

Does it work with a MIDI controller?

Yes, in browsers that support Web MIDI. Click MIDI, grant access, and pads respond to note messages with full velocity.

Can I export my beat?

You can export a WAV of the loop, a MIDI file of the pattern, a project file, or a shareable link containing the pattern itself.
