Tool comparison
DrumSplit vs Native Instruments
Native Instruments makes some of the most popular drum instruments (Battery, Kontakt, Maschine) and sample libraries. DrumSplit is a different kind of tool: it separates drums from existing recordings, and its files fit into the NI workflow.

Why DrumSplit wins for most people
Native Instruments creates drums. DrumSplit deconstructs them. Use DrumSplit to extract individual kick, snare and hi-hat samples from recordings, then load those samples into Battery or Maschine for new productions.
What DrumSplit gives up
DrumSplit extracts from existing music. NI creates from scratch. They are complementary, not competitive.
