About Dembow Beats
A free drum machine for sketching dembow, reggaeton and afrobeats grooves on any phone or laptop, with no sign-up, no plugins and no samples to download.
How it works
Every kick, snare, clap, hat and 808 note is built from oscillators and filtered noise with the browser's Web Audio API, scheduled a few milliseconds ahead for tight timing. "Download WAV" renders four bars offline at 44.1 kHz in your browser. Your beats are stored in your browser's local storage; share links carry the pattern in the URL.
Tips
- Tap a step once for a hit, twice for an accent, three times to clear it.
- Click a track name to mute it.
- Swing delays every second sixteenth note: try 15–25% for afrobeats.
- Space bar plays and stops.
