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. Like Demucs itself, its standard output is a single drums stem.

Why DrumSplit wins for most people
StemRoller is free and convenient for a single drums stem, which is the standard Demucs output. DrumSplit goes further: kick, snare, hi-hats, toms and cymbals as separate files, plus a drum bus and the music without drums.
What DrumSplit gives up
StemRoller is completely free. DrumSplit costs $0.99 per split. If all you need is the drums separated from the rest of the mix, StemRoller does that for nothing.
