From beat to full track
Start with a beat, end with a song
Making the beat is where it starts. Play it on the pads or write it in note by note, and you have a drum pattern in seconds.
With Amped Studio you don’t have to stop there. You're already in a full online DAW, so that drum beat can be the foundation of a track, not a loop you export and leave behind. Add a bassline, a melody, record vocals, and mix it into a finished song, all in the same place.
Two ways in
Play the pads, or write the pattern
Play the pads
Trigger the pads with your mouse, or play them from your computer keyboard or a MIDI controller. Turn on the metronome, record as you play, then quantize to tidy up anything that landed off the grid.
Write it in the Note Editor
Prefer to sequence every hit yourself? Draw your kick, snare, and hi-hat placements onto the grid, right in the Note Editor, exactly where you want them.
The sounds
Load a kit and start playing
Pick a ready-made kit and you're making beats right away. The 808 Drum Kit is free, along with kits in other styles, from House and Funk to Jazzy and more. Want your own sound? Drop your own one-shots onto the pads and play them as a kit.
Ready-made kits

Your own sounds
Drag one-shot samples onto any pad and play them straight away
Per-pad control
Adjust the pitch, level, and pan of each sound, trim its start and end, and group pads to choke like real hi-hats
Step 1
Open Amped Studio
Sign in or register, no download, no install. You land in the studio on an open track, ready to go.
Step 2
Add Drumpler and load a kit
Add the Drumpler instrument to the track, then load a preset drum kit like an 808, or drop in your own sounds.
Step 3
Make your beat
Set the tempo, turn on the metronome, and play the pads to record your beat. Or draw the pattern into the Note Editor by hand. Timing off? Quantize it, or add swing for a looser feel.
Step 4
Build on it
Once the beat is down, keep going. Layer a bassline, chords, and other parts on top, then mix and export the finished track.

What is an online drum machine?
An online drum machine is a browser tool for making drum beats. In Amped Studio you play a beat on the drum pads or write it in the Note Editor, using drum kits in different styles, then build it into a full track. No download needed.
How do I use the drum pads?
Load a kit and trigger the pads with your mouse, your computer keyboard, or a MIDI controller. Turn on the metronome and record your beat as you play, or draw the pattern into the Note Editor by hand. The pads are mapped to your keyboard, so you can finger-drum right away.
Is there an 808 kit?
Yes. The 808 kit is one of the free presets, ready to load and play, with more kits in other styles alongside it. You can tune each pad's pitch, so you can shape the 808 sounds to fit your track.
Can I use my own drum sounds?
Yes. Drag your own one-shot samples onto the pads and play them as a kit. Saving that custom kit with your project is a paid feature.
Is it free, and do I need to download anything?
Making a beat is free and runs entirely in your browser, no download or install. MP3 export is free; WAV export and saving custom kits come with a paid plan.
Can I use my beat in a full track?
Yes. The drum machine lives inside the studio, so you can add basslines, melodies, and vocals around your beat and build out a whole track, all in the same browser tab.
