Quick answers.
01How do I make a drumless version of a song?
Split the song with the Drum Stem Splitter and mute the drums. The rest of the band keeps playing, so you play the drum part over it.
02Can I hear just the drums?
Yes. Solo the drum stem to hear the groove and the fills on their own, then slow them down to learn them.
03How do I find the tempo of a song?
Song Key Finder names the key and the BPM of a song, and the YouTube Metronome clicks on the song’s own beats, with beat one accented.
04Can I slow a song down to learn a fill?
Yes. Slow Down Songs plays the song slower at the same pitch, and you can loop the bars with the fill in them.
