A machine with a beat of its own

Play the notes. Take the stage. Set them free.

While cleaning out the attic, you discover a haunted machine that plays the drums, but you have to push the right buttons to make it work. Follow its rhythms, learn the parts, and help the ghost behind the kit find its way back to the stage.

Why Ghostnote

A way into drumming for anyone.

With more than 25 years of drumming experience behind the team, we wanted anyone to be able to pick up a keyboard or controller and experience what it's like to be a drummer. After an accident nearly left our lead drummer unable to play permanently, that goal became personal: Ghostnote is for anyone who might not be able to simply sit down at a kit and play.

Your haunted kit is waiting

So what are you waiting for? Rock out.
