SSuno Try it →Watch full video →Suno Music · Sep 2025

Demo summary

The demonstrator drags a drum stem from a cover version onto the timeline of the original track and uses 'Command E' to split clips and arrange different drum sections.

Step-by-step

Select the cover version track containing the preferred stems
Drag the new drum stem directly onto the timeline of the original track
Align the new stem next to the original drums for comparison
Use 'Command E' to split the clips at the desired transition points
Arrange the sections by keeping the original drums for the chorus and the new drums for the verse

Tips

Align new stems directly next to old ones on the timeline to hear the sonic differences before committing to a split
