Terms and Conditions

Last updated: February 2026

Welcome to NoDruma. Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before using our service.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using NoDruma (“Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not use the Service.

2. Service Description

NoDruma is a web-based application that uses artificial intelligence to remove drum tracks from audio recordings. The Service allows drummers to practice playing along with music by:

  • Searching for or providing links to publicly available audio content
  • Processing audio through AI-powered source separation technology
  • Streaming the processed drumless audio for personal practice purposes

The Service is intended solely for personal, non-commercial, educational practice purposes.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years of age to use this Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

4. User Responsibilities and Acceptable Use

4.1 Content and Usage

The Service retrieves publicly available audio content from third-party platforms on your behalf. By selecting a song for processing, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • You will use the processed drumless audio only for personal practice and educational purposes
  • You are responsible for ensuring your use of the Service complies with applicable laws in your jurisdiction
  • Any downloaded or streamed processed audio is strictly for your personal, offline practice use and must not be shared, redistributed, or made publicly available

4.2 Prohibited Uses

You agree NOT to:

  • Use the Service for any commercial purposes
  • Redistribute, share, sell, or publicly perform any processed audio tracks
  • Use the Service to infringe upon any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights
  • Use automated tools, bots, or scripts to access the Service excessively
  • Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or hack the Service
  • Use the Service for any illegal purposes

4.3 Copyright and Fair Use

NoDruma processes copyrighted audio recordings to create drumless versions for personal practice. We believe this use may be supported by fair use principles under U.S. copyright law (17 U.S.C. § 107) and analogous exceptions under EU and Italian copyright law, based on the following considerations:

  • Transformative Purpose: The drumless audio serves a different purpose than the original — it is a practice tool, not a commercial entertainment product. Courts have recognized that transformative uses adding “new expression, meaning, or message” receive stronger fair use protection (Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, 510 U.S. 569, 1994).
  • Educational Use: The Service is designed exclusively for drummers' personal practice and skill development, aligning with educational exceptions recognized in copyright law.
  • No Market Substitution: Drumless practice tracks do not substitute for original recordings in the commercial marketplace, as they serve fundamentally different functions.
  • Private Use: Processing is performed on-demand for individual users' personal, non-commercial purposes, comparable to recognized private copying exceptions (EU Directive 2001/29/EC Art. 5; Italian Law 633/1941 Art. 71-sexies).

Important: Fair use and copyright exceptions are subject to legal interpretation and vary by jurisdiction. We make no guarantee that all uses of this Service will qualify as fair use. You are solely responsible for ensuring your use complies with copyright laws in your jurisdiction. Original copyrights in all source recordings remain with their respective owners.
