NuDrum, from developer Nicola Bombaci, is an online drum machine, with sounds not unlike many others. What sets it apart however, is that it gives you the ability to create organised chaos in the form of polyrhythmic and polymetric grooves.
Try out the free, online drum machine, Nudrum. It dishes up classic tones, plus you can create fresh polymetric and polyrhythmic beats with ease.
The interface will be familiar to anyone who has experienced an XOX style step sequencer (but even if you’re not, it’s easy to understand).
Clicking on the “Edit” button at the end of each instrument track opens the beat subdivisions -“beat” and the all important “offset”. This control allows you to delete steps and created rhythms that slide out of sync with those on other tracks.
Try out NuDrum here.
