Shawarma

Describe a beat. Hear it.

Type the beat you want in your own words: a style, a tempo, a feel. Shawarma makes the drum pattern and plays it.

Then open it in the editor and keep going: busier hi-hats, a fill every four bars, a bass line on top.

Then ask for changes

Once your song plays, type what it needs. It changes while it plays, and you keep only what you like.

How it works

  • Describe it

    A style and a feel is enough: "a slow trap beat", "a rock beat with a fill".

  • Hear it

    The beat plays in a few seconds. Your first one needs no sign-up.

  • Open it in the editor

    Keep the beat and change it by asking, or edit the pattern yourself.

Questions

Is it free?
Yes. Your first beat needs no sign-up, and making and editing beats is free.
Can I edit the pattern myself?
Yes. Each beat is a short pattern of text, like "bd ~ sd ~". The drum patterns guide shows how to read and change it.
Can it make a full song?
Yes. Ask for a bass line, chords and a melody on top of your beat.
