Lab — Music toy
Drum Pad is a free online tool that turns your keyboard into a nine-piece drum kit — tap the pads, switch kits, and loop a 16-step beat, all synthesized live in your browser with no samples to download.
Kit & transport
Tap a pad to play. Keys A–L trigger the pads; Space plays or stops the loop.
Pads — click, tap, or use keys A S D F G H J K L
16-step sequencer
Click a step to toggle it. The highlighted column is the step now playing. Mute silences a row without erasing it.
Every sound is synthesized with the WebAudio API — no audio files are loaded. Kick and Tom are pitched sine drops, Snare and Clap are filtered noise bursts, hats and Shaker are high-passed noise, Rim is a short square blip, and Crash is long decaying noise. Each kit retunes pitch, decay and filter settings, so the same pad sounds punchy, glassy or dusty depending on the kit. Your pattern lives only in this page; nothing is uploaded or saved to a server.
