WHY IT SLAPS
You call the shots
No backing track, the band follows you. Mute keys, add synth, strip to just bass. Your kit, your rules.
Real-time accompaniment
Play a fill, push the tempo, lay back, the band reacts and stays glued to your groove.
Any tempo, any time
Slow it to woodshed, crank it to double-time. Practice, jam, write, all in your pocket.
A whole band, no bandmates
Bass, keys and synth that never bail on rehearsal, never argue about the setlist, and always show up on time.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.
The stuff drummers ask before they plug in.
What is Bashery?
A drum accompaniment app for Android. You play drums, and a live band - bass, keys, pad, lead - follows your tempo, your dynamics and your fills in real time. It is not a backing track: every note is generated around what you play.
How do I connect my electronic drum kit to my phone?
One USB cable: your drum module's USB/MIDI port into the phone (USB-OTG). Any kit that sends USB MIDI works - Roland, Alesis, Yamaha, Millenium, Behringer and friends. The app finds it automatically, and a one-time pad mapping + timing calibration takes two minutes.
Do I need a drum kit to try it?
No. The app has velocity-sensitive touch pads, and there is a browser drum kit at drum.bashery.app that pairs with the app and mirrors its sound.
What does the band actually follow?
Your tempo (speed up, it follows), your volume (play soft, it sits back), your feel (swing your hats, it swings), your fills (it answers with a lick), your endings (crash and stop - it lands a final chord), even your solos (play busy and it steps back to give you room).
Is Bashery free?
The beta is free and anyone can join it on Android. When Bashery launches there will be a free tier and a paid membership, Bashery+, for everything we keep adding to it. The web kit at drum.bashery.app is free for everyone, right in your browser.
Can I record my jams?
Yes - one tap records your drums and the band together as audio (.wav) and MIDI (.mid), reviewable and shareable from inside the app or in any DAW.

WANT IN?
The Android beta is open and free. No invite, no waiting list, nothing to ask us for - two taps and you are drumming.
On an iPhone? It is not there yet. Leave your details and we will tell you the day it is - and knowing how many of you are waiting is what decides when that day comes.
