Tool comparison
DrumSplit vs StemRoller
StemRoller is a free web interface that runs Demucs in the browser — you get vocals, drums, bass and other stems without installing Python. But like Demucs itself, the drum stem is one combined track.

Why DrumSplit wins for most people
StemRoller is free and convenient for a combined drum stem. But it cannot separate kick from snare — no Demucs-based tool can. DrumSplit is the only web tool that produces 5 individual drum kit pieces.
What DrumSplit gives up
StemRoller is completely free. DrumSplit costs $0.99 per split. If all you need is combined drums separated from the rest of the mix, StemRoller does that for nothing.
Our take: StemRoller is the best free option for combined drum stems. DrumSplit is the only option for individual kit pieces. They serve different needs at different price points.
