Any track is a drum kit waiting to happen
Slice at the transients, tap through the hits on pads, toss the duds, and download a clean, numbered kit ZIP. From song to sampler in two minutes.
Nothing is uploaded — your audio never leaves your device.
Tap a pad to audition. Toggle the ✕ on any dud — un-checked pads stay out of the kit.
These hits are unlabeled. The studio knows a kick from a snare.
VstChop's engine categorizes one-shots — kick, snare, hat, perc — and names them by key and character. Sign up and run the whole song: 3 full packs free.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a drum kit from a song?
Load the track and slice — the transient detector finds the hits. Audition each slice on the pad grid, un-check anything mushy, and export: every kept slice becomes a numbered WAV in one ZIP, trimmed tight and faded clean at both ends.
What songs make the best kits?
Dry, punchy material: drum breaks, solo percussion sections, intros before the mix thickens. Dense walls of sound produce slices with too much bleed to use as one-shots — that's where the studio's stem separation changes the game.
Are the slices trimmed and cleaned?
Yes — each slice starts at a zero crossing with a 3 ms fade-in and ends with a 30 ms fade-out, the classic one-shot treatment. They drop into any sampler without clicks.
How is this different from the SongChop chopper?
Same slicing heart, different destination: SongChop's tool is built for grabbing musical phrases; this one is tuned for isolating HITS and packaging them as a kit — shorter slices, tighter fades, kit-style naming.
