Online Drum Machine is a solid free drum sequencer to compose your own beats and play single or multiple pattern loops.

Virtual Drumming's Drum Machine lets you create drum beats and loops online, directly by setting the notes on the score.

Musicians use the Drum Machine to practice, compose drum beats, but also to learn rhythm as part of music theory.

Beats and loops created with drum machines or sequencers are widely popular in electronic genres like Hip Hop, Rap, Trap, Reggaeton, House, and Disco, though they are equally versatile for styles such as Pop, Rock, or Jazz.
The drum sequencer is designed to be simple and intuitive to use. However, for newcomers, it is recommended to spend a moment exploring the Beginner’s Guide to familiarize yourself with its full range of features.
You can also download the Drum machine app to create drum beats even on your smartphone.

Choose the Drum Machine sound kit for your drum beats.

Online Drum Machine features 8 drum kits, each with different snare and kick sounds and sets of cymbals and percussion.

You can easily switch between sound kits using the top row of buttons above the note grid, even while the drum sequencer is playing. This allows you to hear your created drum beat with different kits and select the one that best matches your desired musical style. The Drum Machine sound kits are crafted to deliver a natural and realistic drum sound. To achieve this, separate tracks are provided for snare, toms, and bass drums: one for the accented main notes and another with a slightly varied tone for ghost or grace notes.

Using the Drum Machine interactive grid to add and remove notes.

The Drum Machine's interactive grid allows you to easily activate or deactivate the notes that form your drum beats.

The score reflects two measures of the chosen time signature, with each column representing quarter, eighth, or sixteenth notes. To facilitate a quicker visual approach, bars and quarter notes are clearly highlighted.
Horizontal lines correspond to the tracks for each element in the sound kit, including snare drum, kick, toms, cymbals, and percussion. On the left side of the note grid, you'll find the drum kit components, while the right side features sliders for adjusting the volume of each track.

Management of drum sequencer control tools and options.

You can manage options and playback of drum beats and loops with the row of buttons below the Drum Machine's note grid.

The “Clear” button removes all notes from the score. The second button displays the current time signature, which can be adjusted to 4/4, 3/4, or 12/8. The “Metro” button allows you to toggle the metronome on or off, while the “Chain” button enables the drum sequencer to play saved patterns sequentially.
The Play/Stop button starts or stops playback, and this action can also be controlled using the spacebar on your keyboard. The display beside it shows playback speed in beats per minute (bpm), with buttons to adjust the tempo up or down.
The buttons located at the far-right allow you to load preset drum beats for Rock, Hip Hop, Latin styles, or a random fill directly into the note grid.
Lastly, two sliders at the bottom let you adjust the master volume and control random beat dynamics to emulate the feel of a human drummer.

Drum Machine memory management and drum beat storage.

The buttons on the bottom row of the Drum Machine are designed to help you manage, save, and load your own drum beats.

With the Online Drum Machine, you can store up to 10 different patterns for each time signature. This feature allows you to build a small collection of drum beats or create simple backing tracks for your songs by sequencing the playback of your saved patterns.
When saving a pattern, the bpm (beats per minute) and track volume settings are also stored along with it.
To duplicate and edit an existing pattern, load the desired pattern, press the "Copy" button, this will switch to "Paste". Next, select the pattern slot you wish to use, press "Paste", make your adjustments by adding or removing notes as needed, and then press "Save" to preserve the changes.
Keep in mind that the Virtual Drumming Online Drum Machine relies on Local Storage. If you switch to a different browser or clear your browser's cache, you will lose all saved settings and drum beats.
