One hit at a time.
No two voices overlap.
Linear drumming means only one limb plays at any moment. DrumShed's beat builder and pattern editor make it easy to build and practice linear grooves and fills.
Build linear patterns
Pattern editor
The grid editor makes linear patterns visual. Place one hit per subdivision across any voice — kick, snare, hi-hat, toms.
Sticking-based fills
The fill builder's sticking engine generates linear fills naturally. Each sticking maps to alternating voices.
Beat builder
Build linear grooves with the guided wizard. The grid view makes it easy to spot and avoid overlapping voices.
AI generation
Ask the AI for 'linear 16th-note groove' and it generates a pattern where no two voices share a subdivision.
Notation view
See linear patterns in notation where the single-voice-per-beat structure is visually clear.
Share patterns
Export linear grooves as videos to show off the independence. Linear patterns look and sound impressive.
