Drumless tracks come from five very different places, and the right one depends on one question: do you already have a song in mind? If you do, an AI drum remover takes the drums out of the recording you own. If you want a library of songs you know, ready-made drumless versions and backing-track apps have them, some from the original recordings and some re-recorded. If you just want to play, practice grooves and play-along books are written for it. This page puts every kind in one table.
Upbeat Studio makes one of the tools in this table, the free Drumless Tracks tool. It is not ranked anywhere on this page: it sits in the table with the same columns and the same criticism as every other row, and the picker never shortlists it. Where it does not fit, the page says so.

What the data says
Six of the 16 sources in this table take the song you bring and remove its drums with an AI model.
The other ten give you a catalog: whatever songs they have, in their versions. No catalog has every song, and no AI removal is as clean as a track mixed without drums, so the first question is not which is best but whether you need one particular song.
Songsterr plays what it calls synchronized original recordings, and Vic Firth's free play-alongs come from the artists who recorded them.
Jamzone, Karaoke-Version and Melodics re-record their songs as covers, which is how they can mute any instrument. Shedtracks and OrlandoDrummer sell tracks written for practice, not songs. DrumlessVersion says its tracks are made from original multitracks with no AI; that is the vendor's claim, and we have not verified it. The Source column says which each one is.
Only four sources give you the drum part as notation alongside the track: Drumeo Songs, the Hal Leonard play-along books, Songsterr and Vic Firth.
Vic Firth's is the free one: all 56 of its play-along pages offer a track without drums, and 52 of them a PDF drum chart, though only 32 include a version with the drums to check yourself against. The AI removers give you audio only, so pair them with a chart from elsewhere.

Ratings and review counts are the stores' and retailers' own, pulled on 2026-10-07. A cross means the feature is not there; a question mark means neither the listing nor the maker says.

Know before choosing: the free plan stops at 5 uploads a month of files up to 5 minutes, and the synced click covers only the first minute of a song unless you pay.

Skip it if you want a free WAV or a single mixed drumless file, since those need a membership.
SoundBoost splits a song you upload, or link from YouTube or SoundCloud, into vocals, drums, bass and other, then opens it in a browser studio where you mute the drums, loop fills, change the tempo without changing pitch and play to an adaptive metronome that follows the song. Know before choosing: splitting and practice are free without a quota, but MP3 downloads have a rolling 24-hour allowance and a single mixed drumless file or WAV export needs a membership.

Pick it if you want a free try with no account: the song without drums, the drums alone and a click that follows it.
Skip it if you need to slow a song down, change its key or get four or more stems.
Drumless Tracks takes an MP3 or WAV you upload, or a YouTube link when that option is on, and returns two tracks: the song without its drums and the drums on their own. A click that follows the song is one press away, and you can download both tracks as MP3 or your mix as a WAV, free and without an account. Know before choosing: this is Upbeat Studio's own lab experiment, files stop at 10 minutes, the track will not slow down for you, and on dense mixes you may still hear a bit of the drums, with cymbals the hardest part to remove.

Skip it if you are on Android, or want to play over the original recording instead of a cover.
Melodics turns songs into drum lessons: you play the part over a backing track of its own re-recorded covers, can turn the guide notes down so the drums are all yours, drop the BPM, loop sections and get real-time feedback on every hit from an e-kit, acoustic kit or pad. Know before choosing: the songs are Melodics' renditions, not the original recordings, and the app runs on Mac, Windows, iPad and iPhone but not Android.

Jamzone plays studio re-recordings of songs as separate instrument tracks, so a drummer can mute the drum track, play with the bass, guitars and a metronome click, and slow the tempo to learn a part.

Karaoke Version sells studio re-recordings of songs through a mixer where you mute the Drum Kit, keep or drop the Click track, add a count-in, and download your mix as an MP3 to keep. Tempo cannot be changed on the site, so slowing a song down means another program, which Karaoke Version itself points out.

Each volume prints drum notation for a set of songs (eight in the volumes we opened) with online audio: a demo to hear the drum part and a separate backing track to play along, in a Playback+ player that slows the audio without changing pitch and loops sections.

Vic Firth's education site hosts play-alongs from drummers such as Benny Greb, Peter Erskine and Stanton Moore, each with an MP3 without drums, on most tracks a second MP3 with drums or with a click, and usually a PDF chart of the drum part. The tracks are plain MP3 downloads, so slowing them down or looping a section means using your own player.

Songsterr shows drum tabs and drum notation synced to playback, and for its most popular songs Plus plays the original recording of the rest of the band with your part muted, slowed without changing pitch.

Method
Where the facts come from. Every spec, feature tick and claim comes from the maker's own page, a store listing, a manual or a retailer's spec sheet, read on 2026-10-07, and the exact words relied on are kept with each row (open "Sources" on any card). Store ratings and review counts are the stores' own on that date, pulled through Sonar, an app-store analytics service. A feature is marked yes only when one of those sources says it; when none does, it is shown as unknown rather than as no.
How it was checked. Every row was researched once and then handed to a second, independent pass whose only job was to break it: open the same pages, check every spec, every tick, every rating and every quote. Rows it could not confirm were corrected, marked unknown, or dropped before publishing.
What this page does not measure yet. We have not run the same song through every drum remover and compared what is left of the drums. When we do, it will be with audio we are allowed to publish, and the method will be here. Until then, the Source column is the best guide to quality: a track mixed without drums sounds cleaner than one where the drums were removed afterwards.
On rights. Drum removers process music you bring; use them only on music you own or have permission to use. Ready-made libraries either license the songs or re-record them; the Source column says which.
Prices. Every price is in US dollars, read on 2026-10-07 on the store or page named next to it, with a link: Sweetwater, Musician's Friend or the maker's own store for gear and books, the US App Store's in-app purchase list or the maker's pricing page for apps. When a maker sells for less on its own website than in the app, both are shown. Prices change, so the date is part of the fact: check the store before you buy. Nothing on this page is an affiliate link.
Photos. Product photos and icons belong to their makers and publishers, taken from their own pages to show which product a card is about. Each card names its source; a maker who wants a photo removed can write to support@upbeat.studio.
Questions drummers ask about drumless tracks: every source compared, by what you need.
Songs with the drums taken out, so a drummer can play the part. They are made in three ways: mixed from the original recording without the drum tracks, re-recorded by session players without drums, or separated from the finished song by an AI model. The Source column says which each option uses.
Free sources include drum-brand play-alongs, YouTube channels, the free tiers of AI drum removers, and a few groove packs. Free AI tiers limit how many songs or how many minutes you get; the Free column quotes each limit as the vendor states it.
Upload the song to an AI drum remover: it separates the drums from everything else and gives you the song without them, often with a drums-only track too. Quality is good enough to practice with on most songs; on dense mixes some of the cymbals stay audible.
Sometimes. A few sellers make them from the original multitrack recordings, backing-track apps mostly re-record the songs, and AI removers work on the finished recording you bring. The Source column says which each one is.
Some tools accept a YouTube link and treat the audio like an upload; the YouTube column shows which. Use it only on music you have the right to use. When the link option is not available, upload the song file instead.
