Download this demo version of Battery, and experience Native Instruments' "21st century drum sampler!"

Whether you are an electronic dance music-making newcomer or an experienced DJ, Battery from Native Instruments can help you produce "next level" beats. The full version costs nearly $200, and many believe it is worth every penny of its price tag.

With this freeware, you can test drive Battery and decide if you want to pay for the full version. Though you have to pay to get all of Battery's "bells and whistles," the Battery demo lets you learn how to arrange beats and decide if you want to "go all-in" and buy the paid version.

While easy to use, Battery is far from a basic tool. According to its makers, this drum sampler lets you "supercharge your beats!" Even with the demo version, you can "play with" a range of sounds.

Playing with beats is exactly what Battery's design encourages you to do. The full version's interface features an infinitely extensible matrix for arranging drum sounds. Native Instruments groups types of drum sounds into "kits."

The kits come sequentially numbered. Each new number represents the next octave for the given kit's sound. You can layer and tune these kits. If you want, you can put Snare 3 atop Snare 1 and play them on the same beat.

Battery provides you all the tools to create incredible grooves. With the free demo, you get to imagine how it might feel to become a famous "electronic dance music," or "EDM," DJ.
