Extract Drums for Sampling, Practice & Remixes

Isolating drums gives you a clean rhythm stem you can sample, loop, practice along to, or drop into a remix. DefyAudio uses HTDemucs — a state-of-the-art AI source-separation model — running entirely on your device, so even copyrighted music stays private.

Because separation is AI-based, it works on real stereo mixes where the drums overlap with everything else — not just simple tracks. Use 4-stem mode to keep the drum stem, or discard it and keep the others for a drumless version.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I isolate the drums from a song?

Upload the song to DefyAudio's Stem Splitter, choose 4-stem mode, and download the drum stem — free, with no upload.

Can I remove the drums instead of extracting them?

Yes. 4-stem mode gives you every stem separately, so you can keep vocals, bass and other instruments and leave out the drums for a drumless mix.

Does my song get uploaded?

No — the AI runs locally in your browser, so your music stays on your device.

Which formats does it accept?

MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, M4A and more. Stems are exported as high-quality WAV files.
