Learning a part by ear
Ghost notes, hi-hat openings and exactly where the kick sits are all buried under guitars until you take the guitars away.
FOUR-PART SEPARATION MODEL · 192 KBPS OUT · NOTHING TO INSTALL
Just the drums, nothing else.
Drop in MP3 or WAV tracks and get the drum track back. The model splits a song four ways — vocals, drums, bass and everything else — and hands you the drums. This is the direction separation is best at: a kit has a hard attack and a broad, noisy character that no other instrument imitates, so the model has an easy time telling it apart. Up to 50 at a time, nothing to install, no watermark.

How to extract drums from a song — two steps

drums.mp3
192 kbps · drums isolated
Collect them within the hour. Download links expire 60 minutes after extraction. You get the drums; the other three parts are discarded. If you want the bass or the keys instead, Bass Cyborg and Piano Cyborg return those from the same four-way split.
Why the paid extractor is the one worth using
Free drum isolators mostly do not separate anything. They band-pass the low end for a kick and the high end for cymbals, which leaves you bass notes mixed into your kick and guitar mixed into your hi-hats. A trained model recognises a drum kit by how it sounds, not by where it sits in the frequency range, and that is a completely different result.
50 tracks in one pass
Queue a whole album instead of feeding songs in one at a time and waiting after each. Four-part separation is slow; batching is where you get the time back.
Anonymous and private
Your recordings stay yours. We do not track who uploads what, and files are never handed to third parties.
Not an EQ filter
Cutting everything outside the kick and cymbal ranges is not isolation — the bass guitar lives where the kick does, and so do the low toms. Splitting by what things sound like is the only way to get a drum track that is actually just drums.

Free drum extractors exist because advertising pays for them, and most of them are filters rather than separators — they cut the frequencies around a kick and call it isolation. The ones running a real model cap your uploads, stop you after a track or two a day, and hand back 128 kbps. Drum Cyborg starts at €1 for a day, installs nothing, takes 50 tracks at once up to 200 MB and 30 minutes each, splits each one four ways, and returns 192 kbps.
Drums are the part separation handles best
Every separation tool here runs the same family of model, but they do not all face the same difficulty. A drum kit is the easiest thing in a mix to pick out: it hits hard and stops, it covers the whole frequency range at once, and nothing else in a band sounds remotely like it. That is why a drum track usually comes back cleaner than an isolated vocal from the same song.

A four-way split, not a filter
4 partsThe song is separated into vocals, drums, bass and everything else, and you are handed the drums. That matters because the kick and the bass guitar share the same low frequencies — an EQ cannot tell them apart, and a model trained on real music can.
Transients give it away
attackA snare is a burst of broadband noise with a sharp start and a fast decay. Almost nothing else in a mix behaves like that, which is exactly what makes drums the most reliably separated part of the four.
Where it struggles
honestCymbals and hi-hats are the weak point: they overlap with guitars, strings and vocal sibilance up top, so expect some shimmer that is not yours. Heavily processed electronic percussion can be filed under "everything else" instead of drums, and a reverb-drenched live kit smears into the room it was recorded in.
You get the drums only
1 of 4The other three parts are produced and discarded. Bass Cyborg and Piano Cyborg return their own part from the same split, and Acapella Cyborg returns the voice.
Quality is preserved on the way out
192An MP3 upload comes back as 192 kbps rather than the 128 kbps most tools default to, and a WAV upload comes back as WAV. Cymbals are the first thing a low bitrate ruins, so the extra headroom lands exactly where drums need it.
The honest caveat: this is not the studio drum bus
An extracted drum track is an estimate reconstructed from a finished mix, not the multitrack with everything else muted. As something to practise against, sample from, transcribe or drop into a remix, it is a good result — better than most people expect, because drums separate well. Held against the real drum bus, with its own room mics and no bleed at all, it is not the same object. Try one song before committing an album.
Want the song without the drums instead? That is not this tool — Vocal Remover Cyborg removes the singing, but nothing here returns a drumless mix.

What people actually use it for
An isolated drum track answers questions a full mix cannot. These are the usual ones:
R
Sampling a break
A clean break is worth far more than one with a bass note and a vocal tail attached. Clear the rights before you release anything built on it.
P
Drum transcription
Writing out a part is much faster when you can hear the kit on its own, at whatever speed your player will slow it to.
F
Studying how a record was made
How compressed the room is, how the snare was tuned, how much of the groove is the hi-hat — all of it becomes obvious once the kit is alone.
T
Layering under your own production
A real kit sitting under a programmed one adds a looseness that quantised samples never quite manage. The same licensing caution applies.
S
Checking your own drum mix
Run a reference track you admire through it and hear how loud, how wide and how compressed those drums really are.
Whatever it is for, upload your tracks and get the drums back.
A different part?
The same four-way split feeds three other tools: Bass Cyborg for the low end and Piano Cyborg for the keys. For the voice, Acapella Cyborg; for everything except the voice, Vocal Remover Cyborg. Need the audio out of a video first? Extract Audio — all included in one account.
Common questions
Getting started
What is Drum Cyborg?
A web app that splits a song into four parts — vocals, drums, bass and everything else — and gives you the drums. It takes MP3 and WAV, runs a trained separation model on our servers, and returns the drum track at 192 kbps, up to 50 tracks at a time with nothing to install.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It runs on every Android phone and on iOS 12 or later. The separation happens on our servers, so a phone finishes as fast as a desktop — all you need is a browser.
How do I extract the drums from a song?
Two steps. Drag your files onto the upload box at the top of this page — up to 50 at a time — then download the results individually or as a single ZIP. There is nothing to install and no settings to pick.
Quality, size and batches
How good is the result, honestly?
Better than most people expect, because drums are the easiest part of a mix to separate: a hard attack, a broad noisy character, and nothing else in a band that sounds like it. A normally recorded kit in a normally mixed song comes back clean enough to play along with, sample or transcribe. The weak point is the top end — cymbals and hi-hats share territory with guitars, strings and vocal sibilance, so a little shimmer that is not yours usually survives. Heavily processed electronic percussion may end up filed under "everything else", and a very reverberant live recording smears.
Do I get the bass and vocals too?
No. The model produces all four parts, but this tool returns the drums only. Bass Cyborg and Piano Cyborg return their own part, and Acapella Cyborg returns the voice. And if a track's name happens to contain the word "drums", you still get exactly one file per upload: the drum track.
How many files can I do at once?
Up to 50 per batch. Filenames are kept, and you can download the results individually or as a single ZIP. Splitting four ways is slower than the two-part tools, so a full batch of 50 takes real time.
Is there a size or length limit?
200 MB per file and 30 minutes per track. The length limit is the one that matters: separation holds the whole song in memory as it works, and a four-part split holds four output buffers rather than two, so a track longer than 30 minutes is refused outright rather than quietly returned with the end missing.
Which formats can I upload?
MP3 and WAV. An MP3 comes back as a 192 kbps MP3 and a WAV comes back as a WAV. WAV is the better choice if you have it, because cymbals are the first thing a low bitrate smears. If your file is FLAC, M4A or something else, run it through one of the converters first.
Can I get the song without the drums?
Not from this tool. It returns the drum track itself, and the remaining three parts are discarded rather than mixed back together. Vocal Remover Cyborg gives you a song without the singing, which is a different thing — there is currently no drumless output anywhere in the suite.
Can I use an extracted break in a track I release?
That is a licensing question, not a technical one, and separating a drum part does not give you any rights to it. The recording and the composition still belong to whoever owned them before. Sampling a break for your own practice or a private edit is one thing; releasing or monetising it is another, and worth clearing properly.
Pricing, privacy & limits
How much does it cost?
A €1 day pass gives you 24 hours of unlimited conversions. Yearly (€6) and lifetime (€30) plans are also available (+ VAT). Every plan unlocks all 79 AppsCyborg tools, not just this one.
How long does my download link stay valid?
60 minutes. After that the link expires and the converted files are removed — just re-run the conversion if you need them again.
Do you track or store my files?
No. We do not apply advertising or analytics tracking to what you upload, and your files are never sold or shared for marketing. Uploaded audio is processed only to produce your drum track and removed when the 60-minute download window closes.
Is there a limit on how often I can convert?
No. While your day pass, yearly or lifetime plan is active you can run as many 50-file batches as you like — there is no monthly quota and no per-conversion charge.
Still have a question?
We usually reply within a day.
