Punchy modern drums, made for your beat
GleamDrums plays drum sounds made by TrackGleam, in three kits. Modern is the all-rounder: 808 kicks, snares, claps, hats and more for trap, pop, house and lo-fi. Trap Dark / Drill has dark kicks with their own 808 pad (short, long, sliding or distorted), cracking snares and very short hats for rolls. House 909 has punchy 909-style kicks, claps and metallic hats for house, tech-house and garage. Each of the 12 pads has a soft hit and a hard hit, and the sequencer rotates through them so a row of hi-hats sounds played rather than copied.
Pick a genre to load a starting beat, a swing amount, a tempo and the kit and sounds that suit it: Trap, Drill, Pop, Boom Bap, House, UK Garage, Techno, Drum & Bass or Lo-Fi. Pick a kit yourself and genres keep it. Then change anything you like. Most pads have two or three sounds to choose from, like a short punchy kick or a long, boomy 808. Pitch, decay, drive and brightness are set for each pad, and Punch and Warmth shape the whole kit.
When it sounds right, download the 4-bar loop to drop into your DAW, export the pattern as MIDI to trigger your own drums, or grab a single sound. The complete kit as WAV files is a GleamLab perk that unlocks with any TrackGleam purchase. Pair it with the BPM Finder to match a tempo, then bring the finished beat to TrackGleam for mastering.

FAQ
Is GleamDrums free?
Yes. There is no account, no watermark and no limit on playing, the sequencer, your 4-bar WAV loop, MIDI or single-sound downloads. The complete kit ZIP is a GleamLab perk that unlocks with any TrackGleam purchase.
Can I use these drum sounds in my music?
Yes. Every sound in GleamDrums was made by TrackGleam, and you can use them in your own music, including commercially. You don't need to credit anyone.
Does it upload my music?
No. Everything is processed in your browser. The page only downloads the drum sounds it plays, and your kit settings stay in this browser so the page remembers them next time.
What do I get when I export?
Free: a 4-bar WAV loop of your beat, a single-sound WAV for the pad you are editing, and the MIDI pattern. With any TrackGleam purchase (a GleamLab perk): the complete kit as a ZIP with every sound in your kit as WAV files, your preset and a MIDI file.
What is GleamLab?
GleamLab is the set of extra tools that unlocks with any TrackGleam purchase: a single master, a pack, Producer or Lifetime. The full drum kit download is one of them.
What are the three kits?
Modern is the all-round kit. Trap Dark / Drill has dark kicks, a separate 808 pad, cracking snares and very short hats for rolls. House 909 has punchy 909-style kicks, claps and metallic hats. All three are made by TrackGleam, and each genre starts on the kit that suits it until you pick one yourself.
Why does the first load take a moment?
The page loads the 48 drum sounds of the kit you are on, about 4 MB, and shows its progress while it does. Sounds you switch to later load when you pick them. They are saved in your browser afterwards, so coming back is quick.
