What is Drumbit?
Drumbit is a simple drum machine that runs in your browser. You choose a drum kit, click the steps on the sequencer to turn hits on or off, and press play to hear your beat loop. It is made to put a drum beat together quickly, so you can start straight away without an account.
It was made by web developer João Santos. Each track has its own volume and pitch, and you can add swing, room effects, panning, a compressor and low-pass or high-pass filters. You get four patterns to work with, demo beats such as rock, funk, bossa nova, hip-hop and house to start from, and you can save your work as a drumbit file or record it as a WAV file.
