Drum stem splitter

Separate the drums—then separate the drum kit

Pull the drum bus out of a finished song and split it again into kick, snare, hi-hat, toms, ride, and crash when those pieces are detected. Complete also gives you the groove as MIDI and the hits as one-shots.

Most stem splitters stop at one broad drum file. Selekt is built for the next question: “What if I only want the kick, snare, or groove?”

What you take with you

Complete goes beyond six isolated audio lanes

After the audio split, Complete adds the editable groove and reusable hits needed for a DAW, drum plugin, sampler, or Selekt Drum Kit.

Separate the drums in your track

Choose one track and it will arrive preloaded in the Audio Workshop. You decide whether you want audio stems only or the Complete production pack before any credit is charged.

Uploading only preloads the file. You see the exact tier, cost, and deliverables before you choose to run it.

Not just one audio file

What comes back

Your result is useful even if you only need a drum stem. Complete adds the files that make it possible to edit, replace, and rebuild the performance.

Audio

Full drum stem plus detected kit pieces

Download the whole drum performance or work with kick, snare, hi-hat, toms, ride, and crash as separate WAV stems.

Editable groove

Velocity-aware drum MIDI

Carry the timing and dynamics into your own drum plugin, edit individual hits, or use the pattern as the start of a new beat.

Ready to reshape

Sliced drum one-shots

Use the extracted hits in your sampler or open the result in Selekt Drum Kit to audition a different kick, snare, or full kit.

Built for a next step

What you can do with it

Pull a drum break

Isolate the full groove for authorized sampling, practice, analysis, or a remix.

Replace only the weak piece

Keep the groove but change the kick or snare instead of rebuilding every hit from scratch.

Move the performance into MIDI

Edit timing and velocity in your DAW, or route the pattern to a drum plugin you already like.

Create a drumless arrangement

Use the other separated stems to rebuild a version without the original drum bus, then add your own kit.

Three deliberate steps

How it works

1

Choose one track

Upload one MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, or OGG file up to 200MB. Nothing runs or spends credits on upload.

2

Your track opens preloaded in the Audio Workshop. Pick Stems Only, Complete, or Complete + Copyright Screen and confirm before processing.

3

Download or keep building

Audition each detected stem, download the files you need within 48 hours, or move the result into Stem Lab or Drum Kit.

Questions before you upload

Frequently asked questions

Can I isolate drums from a song?

Yes. Selekt extracts the full drum stem from a finished mix and also separates the remaining instruments so you can work with the drums or rebuild around them.

Can it split kick, snare, and hi-hat separately?

Yes, when those kit pieces are detected. The deep drum pass can return kick, snare, hi-hat, toms, ride, and crash in addition to the complete drum stem.

Do I get MIDI from the drums?

Complete includes velocity-aware drum MIDI based on the detected performance. You can edit it in a DAW or route it to a drum plugin; Stems Only returns audio without the production extras.

Can I replace the extracted drum sounds?

Yes. Download the MIDI and one-shots for your own DAW, or open the completed result in Selekt Drum Kit to audition different kicks, snares, and kits while keeping the groove.

How much does drum separation cost?

Stems Only and Complete each cost 0.5 credit per track. Complete + Copyright Screen costs 1 credit and adds a whole-track commercial-recording screen and PDF report.

How long are separated drums available?

The result files remain downloadable for 48 hours. Download the production pack or individual stems before that private result window ends.
