A free drum machine, already loaded in your browser
Beatloom is a free browser drum machine. There is nothing to install, no account to create, and no sample packs to download — the page opens with a kit loaded and a 16-step sequencer ready. Tap a pad and you hear it in the loop immediately. Two kits and the whole drum engine are free; a one-time $1 unlock adds the other ten kits.

How the step sequencer works
Tap pads on the grid. Each row is a drum lane — kick, snare, clap, closed hat, open hat and perc — and you toggle a pad to place a hit on that step. There is nothing to drag and no timeline to learn: a pad is either on or off.
The playhead shows where you are. A marker runs across the grid with the beat, so you always know which step is sounding and where the loop turns around.
Toggle pads while it loops. Nothing stops playing while you edit — the pattern updates underneath the playhead, so you hear each change in the loop as you make it.
Turn the pattern into a file
Export is where the pattern stops being a loop and becomes a file. The free tier exports at standard quality, and the one-time $3.99 Output unlock exports a clean 44.1kHz stereo WAV.
Patterns save to slots in your own browser, and share links pack the whole pattern — kit, tempo, swing, steps and mix — into the URL itself, so whoever opens the link hears the exact beat.
Is it really free?
Yes. The drum machine, two kits, the sequencer and standard-quality export cost nothing, need no account, and are not time-limited. Free means free, not a trial.
Free drum machine questions
What is the best free browser beatmaker?
Beatloom is a free browser beatmaker — drum kits, instruments and a step sequencer that run entirely in your browser with no download and no account. Most people get a first beat out in about five minutes. BandLab is the better pick if you need multitrack recording or collaboration, and Splice Beatmaker if you want to build from a large sample library.
How do I make a beat online for free?
Open Beatloom in a browser. A starter groove is already loaded — press play to hear it, then toggle the 16 step pads to change it. Balance the tracks with the volume and mute controls, then hit export. It takes about five minutes and needs no account, no download, and no payment.
Is there a free drum machine I can use in my browser?
Yes — Beatloom's drum machine runs in any modern browser. The page opens with a kit loaded and a 16-step sequencer ready, and nothing has to be installed or uploaded. Two kits (Neon 808 and Velvet Lo-Fi) and the full sequencer are free; a one-time $1 unlock adds the other ten kits, 32 steps, swing and panning.
Do I need to download or install anything?
No. Beatloom runs entirely in your browser using the Web Audio API. Ten of the twelve drum kits are synthesised on your device the moment you hit play; two use curated CC0 one-shots that ship with the site. There are no sample packs to download and nothing of yours is ever uploaded.
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.
Is Beatloom a subscription?
No. There is no subscription anywhere in Beatloom. Creative is a one-time $1 and Output is a one-time $3.99, each unlocking permanently in that browser. Free use never expires and never asks for a card.
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.
Do I need to credit Beatloom, or pay anything later?
No attribution is required anywhere — not in video descriptions, credits or track notes. And nothing is owed later: both unlocks are one-time payments under the same royalty-free licence, with no recurring fee and no claims down the line.
