DrumFade: Remove Drums

About this app

Pick any song on your phone and get it back without the drums or get the drums-only version to study the part. Play the kit part yourself instead of fighting the recorded drummer.

DrumFade separates drums from music with the same family of AI models the big paid services use, but it runs entirely on your phone. That changes everything about how it works.

FREE, ALL OF IT
No account. No subscription. No locked features. No song limit. Process as many songs as you like, for as long as you like. The processing happens on your own device, so each song costs nothing to run, which is why the app can stay free.

NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE
No upload, no servers, no sign in. Your music library is your business. The app does not collect data.

FULL QUALITY IN, LOSSLESS OUT
Your song is never squeezed through an upload. Exports are lossless WAV or high quality M4A.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick a song. MP3, M4A, FLAC, WAV and OGG all work.
2. DrumFade processes it on the device. A typical song takes 20 to 30 minutes. Start it, go warm up, come back. A notification tracks progress, and each song only needs processing once.
3. Play along. A live drums fader slides from the full original mix down to fully drumless while the song plays. Flip on Drums only to study the original part.
4. Export. Save or share the drumless track and the drums-only track, as WAV or M4A, and use them in any player or practice app.

THE HONEST FINE PRINT
Separation runs on your phone's processor, so it is slower than cloud services and the phone gets warm while it works. Plug in a charger for long songs. Songs are capped at 10 minutes so the app stays within phone memory. One 84 MB model file downloads at first setup, then the app works fully offline.

WHO IT IS FOR
Drummers learning songs. Teachers making play-along homework. Anyone who wants a drumless version of a track they already own, without handing the track to a website.

Made by a drummer, from the same shop as DrumLock. Built because playing along to a song that already has drums on it teaches you to follow, not to play.

What’s new

DrumFade is out of testing and open to everyone. Free, no account, no upload, no song limit.
Thanks to the closed-test drummers who shaped the last four releases.
