Play 16 responsive drum pads with your mouse, keyboard, or touchscreen, record custom sounds and performances, then export WAV or MP3.
An online drum pad is a playable 4-by-4 grid that triggers individual drum and percussion sounds. Tap the pads on a phone or tablet, click with a mouse, or use the mapped computer keys for faster finger drumming.
Play kicks, snares, hi-hats, cymbals, toms, claps, and percussion from a familiar 4-by-4 layout.
Choose the input that fits your device and playing style without installing a drum pad app.
Use your microphone to replace a pad with a vocal hit, hand clap, object sound, or other short recording.
Record a live finger-drumming pass, combine it with the programmed pattern, and download the result.
The pad grid opens first, so every sound is ready to play as soon as the kit loads.
Select an 808, 909, 707, CR-78, MPC-60, LM-1, or DMX-inspired set of drum sounds.
Tap or click a pad, or use the displayed keyboard letters to trigger several sounds quickly.
Set BPM, swing, master volume, and effects when you want to play with the built-in pattern or shape the kit.
Start performance recording, play your rhythm, stop when finished, and export the result as WAV or MP3.
Practice kick-and-snare coordination, hi-hat timing, fills, and pad combinations on any supported device.
Play a rhythm by feel instead of drawing every step on a sequencer grid.
Record short sounds with the microphone and turn the grid into a temporary personalized drum or sample pad.
Use the touch-friendly layout on a phone or tablet when you want a playable pad without downloading an app.
A drum pad captures how you play in real time, while a drum machine repeats a programmed sequence.
