Looking for a Clone Hero, YARG or Rock Band alternative that runs on the computer you already have? WebEDrums is a drum highway for USB e-drum kits that lives in a browser tab. Pick the game or app you use today to see how the two compare, honestly. It also has short groove lessons by level, for the drummer starting out.

- Built-in lessons to learn drums
- Easy setup: one cable, one minute
- Any laptop, no gaming PC needed
- 3 free plays a day, no account
- Nothing is uploaded
In a browser
All it needs is a browser
WebEDrums is a web page, not a game engine you download. It loads in Chrome or Edge in seconds and is light enough for the laptop, Chromebook or school machine you already have.
- No download, no installer and no admin rights: open a tab and play.
- Under 1 MB to load, then cached so it also starts offline.
- A simple, fast highway that runs on the built-in graphics of an ordinary laptop. No gaming GPU.
- Light on memory: one browser tab, not a separate game running next to it.
- Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS in Chrome or Edge. No drivers for your kit.
- Always up to date: new versions arrive when you reload, nothing to patch.
