Make a drill beat right now — free.
Iron Lung is already loaded below — a heavy 150 BPM two-bar beat on the Iron Trap kit: distorted 808 kick, a sub that slides ♭6 → 5 through the fill, and a harmonic-minor top line. That is the drill skeleton — sparse kick, sliding sub, half-time snare — so press play, then rewrite the pattern your way. No download, no account.

How to make a drill beat in Beatloom
The starter beat above already follows these moves — pull it apart pad by pad, or clear the grid and build your own from the recipe.
01 / 03
Sparse kick, one slide
Drill leaves space: a kick on the one, one or two syncopated answers, and a sub that slides into its next note instead of re-attacking. Put the bass step just after the kick and step it to a neighbouring scale degree for the slide.
02 / 03
Half-time snare, rolling hats
The snare lands on beat 3 so the loop reads half-time at 140–150 BPM. Fill the closed-hat row, then pull hats out around the snare and drop an open hat at the turnaround.
03 / 03
Dark, minor and repetitive
Drill hooks are two or three notes in a minor scale — the starter beat already sits in C harmonic minor. Keep the top line sparse, let the sub carry the bar, then export it on the Output tier ($3.99 once) when it knocks.
Free to build & hear. $3.99 to own the master.

Drill beat questions
Is this drill beat maker free?
Yes — the preloaded beat plays in full, and the drums, keys, tempo, key and scale are free with no account. Iron Trap is a Creative kit ($1 once), which also unlocks the 808-bass row and the 32-step grid; Output ($3.99 once) adds the clean 44.1kHz stereo WAV master, save slots and shareable links (standard-quality export is free on every tier).
What BPM is drill?
Most drill sits around 140 BPM with a half-time snare, which is why it feels slower than it counts. The preloaded starter beat runs at 150 BPM — drag the tempo readout to 142 for the classic bounce.
How do I get the 808 to slide?
Place two notes on the bass row next to each other and step to a nearby scale degree — the sub glides between them rather than restarting. Creative's 808 Glide bass voice (one tap on the VOICE chip) exaggerates that slide.
Can I sell drill beats I make here?
Yes — every sound is synthesized in your browser, never sampled, so exports are entirely yours to release, sell or put behind an artist. No attribution, no per-project licence, and Output ($3.99 once) renders the clean 44.1kHz stereo WAV master.
Cost, licence & export
How much does Beatloom cost?
Building and hearing a beat is free, with no account. Creative is $1 once and unlocks all twelve kits, seven more instrument rows, sample and loop upload, 32 steps, swing and panning. Output is $3.99 once and adds the clean 44.1kHz stereo WAV master, three save slots and shareable beat links — a standard-quality WAV export is free on every tier. Nothing is a subscription and nothing renews.
Are the beats royalty-free? Can I use them commercially?
Yes. Everything you make in Beatloom is royalty-free and yours on every tier, including free. Release it, sell it, monetise it, and use it in paid client work — video, ads, podcasts, social — with no per-project licence, no attribution and no extra fee. The one thing you cannot do is resell the raw Beatloom sounds as a sample pack.
Can I export my beat as a WAV file?
Yes. Standard-quality export is free. The one-time $3.99 Output unlock adds clean 44.1kHz stereo WAV masters, three pattern save slots and shareable beat links. Exports download straight to your device.
Does Beatloom work on a Chromebook, or on a phone?
Yes. Any modern browser works — Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop or mobile, including Chromebooks. On phones the step grid scrolls sideways; headphones are recommended for the sub-bass.
