In this paper, we propose the algorithm to extract the groove feeling from drum data. In the previous researches, extraction of the groove feeling requires pre-separated acoustic sources. We employed non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) to make separated information on hitting time from monaural wave data in which multiple acoustic sources are mixed. We applied our algorithm to a drum data and obtained a difference of time fluctuations among instruments, which relates to groove feeling and impression. The result implies that the proposed algorithm can extract some sensitive differences of nuance of drumming.
