About this tool
Drum patterns are easiest to read as sixteen steps in a bar. Pick a style and tempo and this tool writes out kick, snare, and hi-hat steps, plus the step length in milliseconds. In the browser the pattern is shown as a playable grid description; outside the browser the same pattern text is given, so nothing depends on audio.
Frequently asked questions
What do I enter to get a result?
Fill in every field with your own numbers or choices, then run the tool. Empty number fields count as zero, so check them before you trust the output.
Can I reuse this result elsewhere?
Yes. The result is calculated in your browser from the values you entered, so you can copy the numbers into your own notes or plan.
