Each drummer recorded a special set of beats for Wheelhouse, and played those beats all the way from stone-cold slow to smoking fast. Wheelhouse stitches these together so you can play any tempo in between.

As well as this huge range of tempos, most beats have an option of 1, 2, 4, or 8 measure phrases or loops. We've worked hard to make each one of these make musical sense.

Like a metronome, Wheelhouse is a great tool for playing time, but even more, it‘s for helping develop your feel.

For any kind of instrumentalist — playing with Wheelhouse will help you become a better musician, better listener, and better collaborator.

For drummers — take a deep dive into how these pros use subtle sounds and dynamics to elevate a groove.

And some of our biggest fans are songwriters, who use it to work out new material. It‘s more fun and more musical!

Don‘t miss Brevan‘s Latin section, with four different percussion parts you can mix. And if you need a little inspiration, try rolling the dice for something new.

Wheelhouse is independently made — your subscription goes directly to the musicians and keeps the app going. You'll have a ten-day demo from installation, and you can register your email with us for another ten days.
