Plug in your e-drum kit. Play your songs. No install.
WebEDrums is a drum highway that runs in Chrome and Edge. Point it at a folder of Clone Hero, YARG or Rock Band charts and play them on any USB MIDI drum kit.
No account needed. Nothing is uploaded.
How it works
-
Plug in the kit
Connect your e-drum module over USB. The browser asks once for MIDI access and the pads are mapped automatically; adjust anything that is off.
-
Pick your songs folder
Choose the folder where you keep your Clone Hero, YARG or Rock Band songs. It stays on your disk; the browser only reads it.
-
Play
Choose a song and a difficulty, then hit the notes as they reach the line. Scores and hit stats are saved in your browser.
What you get
-
Your charts, four formats
Clone Hero .chart and .mid, YARG .sng and Rock Band Xbox 360 CON files open directly from your folder.
-
Any USB MIDI kit
Roland, Alesis, Yamaha, Millenium and others: if the module shows up as a MIDI device, it works. Pad mapping is editable.
-
Tight timing
Web MIDI input with a built-in calibration tool, so notes judge where you actually hit them.
-
Practice mode
Loop a section, slow it down, speed it back up. See which sections you miss the most and practise those.
-
Works offline
Install it as an app and it loads without a connection. Your songs never left your computer anyway.
-
No kit? Use the keyboard
Try any song with the keyboard mapping before the kit is plugged in, or when you are away from it.
Compatibility
Browsers
Chrome and Edge are fully supported. Firefox 108 and newer works after a one-time site-permission prompt, but cannot remember the songs folder between visits. Safari has no Web MIDI, so it cannot talk to a kit.
Kits
Any e-drum module with USB MIDI. Tested on the Roland TD-02KV; other modules use the same General MIDI drum notes, and you can remap pads in Settings.
Operating systems
Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS, as long as you use Chrome or Edge. No drivers to install.

How it compares
Clone Hero and YARG are great desktop games. Rock Band 4 is a console game. Melodics is a lesson app. WebEDrums is the one that runs in a browser tab with your own charts, so there is nothing to install on a new machine.

Which e-drum kits work?
Any kit whose module connects over USB as a MIDI device: that covers nearly every electronic kit sold in the last fifteen years, including Roland, Alesis, Yamaha and Millenium modules. The Roland TD-02KV is the kit we test on. Pads are detected from the standard General MIDI drum notes and you can remap any pad in Settings.
Which browsers are supported?
Chrome and Edge fully. Firefox 108 and newer works too, with two differences: it asks you to install a small site-permission add-on the first time you connect a kit, and it cannot remember the songs folder, so you pick or drop it again on each visit. Safari has no Web MIDI, so it cannot talk to a kit at all.
Is it free?
Yes. Every day you get three full plays plus unlimited 60-second previews of any song, with no account. Pro removes the daily cap.
