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 options 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 pro‘s 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.

Ten days after you install, Wheelhouse will require you to subscribe. Wheelhouse is an independently made app, and your subscription directly supports our musicians and the app.

Amazing tool!

Wheelhouse is a fantastic tool for improving your sense of time, working out new ideas, or just enjoying having a groove at home when a drummer isn't available. Strongly reocmmend it to ANY instrumentalist or musician who is tired of metronomes and seeking the sound of a living soul hitting the drums and keeping time. You'll spend hours with this!

Love it ! but please address a bug…

Fantastic sounding and feeling drum grooves by some monster players ! So fun.

However, if your screen is set to lock after a certain amount of time, (which of course preserves phone battery life) it messes with the groove/time when the screen locks. I have to set my screen lock to “never” when using the app which is kinda inconvenient. Is this something you guys can address ?

Thanks!

Perfect practice App

When I saw this being announced, I was instantly excited. All of the drummers involved have shaped my playing and now I get to have their feel at a specific tempo. Highly recommend you download this. Their groove is unmatched, it will make you a better player no matter what instrument you play.
