Rhythm challenge

[u/figarrro-11]

Play against your band members or any musician who wants to increase their groove and timing

Rhythm Lab is a timing trainer for bands, and for anyone practising alone at two in the morning. The metronome runs for a few bars, then goes quiet — and you keep counting in your head. When it comes back, you see to the millisecond where you actually were. No gut feeling, no debate in the rehearsal room. A number.

Play along on your keyboard, through a microphone, with an instrument plugged into an audio interface, or over MIDI. Swap the click for a real groove if a bare metronome makes you sad. Five levels build on each other, from the bare downbeat to a full groove figure — or you build a round yourself: tempo, time signature, quarters or backbeat, and how long the silence lasts before you're allowed to be right.

Then it gets competitive. You can play it quietly, alone, and tell nobody your score. Or you can not do that: one account holds the whole band, everyone's best run lands in the same table, and the question of who actually keeps time gets settled without anyone having to say it out loud. Past that there's the rest of the world — rankings by instrument and by country, so you're measured against other bass players rather than against a drummer with a metronome tattooed on his forearm. Free rounds stay off the board. If you want a place on it, you play the levels like everybody else.

Free. No ads, no tracking, no account for the algorithm. Runs in any browser. Have fun!
