Describe the groove.
Hear it back. Iterate.
Describe the idea and shape what comes back — you drive. DrumShed's AI co-pilot (beta) drafts playable drum patterns from plain English, and every draft opens in the editor for you to bend, audition, and keep only what's yours.
Three AI assistants
One drafts beats, one drafts fills, one drafts whole practice sessions. You steer all three — each opens its result in the editor so you can change a single hit.
AI Beat Architect
Describe a groove in English: 'funk beat with ghost notes on the snare and a displaced hi-hat.' The AI generates a full pattern you can hear, edit, and save.
AI Fill Maker
Ask for fills: 'linear 16th-note fill ending on the crash.' The AI picks sticking, accents, and voices that match your description.
AI Session Builder
Describe your practice goals and the AI creates a complete session — drills, tempos, and transitions tailored to what you need to work on.
How it works
Type the way you'd describe a groove to another drummer. It knows what a displaced hi-hat or a feathered kick means.
Natural language
Describe the groove in a sentence. No grid, no menus, no setup before you hear something back.
Iterate fast
Don't like it? Say 'make it busier' or 'swap the ride for hi-hat.' The AI refines from your feedback.
Feel controls
Dial in cymbal pulse, shuffle percentage, and per-voice pocket right in the builder. Feel is a control, not an accident.
Edit the result
Every AI-generated pattern opens in the full pattern editor. Fine-tune individual hits before saving.
Ask for it. Get something you can actually play.
Describe a beat, a fill, or a whole practice session the way you'd say it to another drummer — 'funk groove with a syncopated kick and ghost notes,' 'a linear 16th fill that builds to a crash,' '20 minutes on my weak-hand timing.' It understands the feel, the placement, the vocabulary.
And the generator enforces real-kit constraints, so what comes back aims to be musical and physically playable — two hands, two feet, no impossible patterns. When a draft misses the mark, say so and it takes another pass.
Don't like something? Just say so — 'swing the hi-hat,' 'make it harder,' 'add a tom run.' Every result drops straight into the full editor when you want to make it yours.
The AI assistants are in beta and included with All Access, metered by a monthly credit allowance. Every result is a draft you audition and edit — you decide what's good — and if something sounds off, the in-app feedback button goes straight to us.
Every drummer needs
a home base.
Describe it. Hear it. Play it.
