Description
MODERN DRUMMER MAGAZINE (October 2015 issue - review of the iOS version): “This is a must-have for anyone wanting an encyclopedia of world percussion rhythms at their fingertips.”
PercussionTutor is an educational app for dedicated world percussion enthusiasts. The app and its free creative commons licensed companion book feature a unique library of world rhythms and instruments played by leading percussionists and drummers. A time stretching feature and a metronome give the users the option to practice at their own pace. Sheets and notes are included for all the rhythms.
NO IN-APP PURCHASES! Make sure to buy the app now and get all the future content for free. We will release updates on a regular basis adding new rhythms and videos (for the iOS version we kept our promise since April 2012!).
PercussionTutor will allow you to approach South American, Caribbean and West African music in a different way. This app offers you more than a simple play-along. It includes standard notation, videos (COMING NEXT ANDROID UPDATE!) and specific claves. We also took the outmost care to capture the natural feeling of all those drumming traditions.
For the batá rhythms we even developed a random playback engine that will simulate an actual batá performance.
This app puts you in a live playing situation - just like you learned your mother language. You will sound more natural and more alive and you will awaken to new rhythmic possibilities. It's also a great tool for other musicians, dancers and performers who want to immerse themselves into centuries-old traditional languages.

This thing is incredible. The best Latin rhythms' app I've seen so far. I accidentally deleted it, and using android phone I couldn't re-download it, it said just for I phone and iPad, but I guessed they fixed it. 😅, so thanks for making it available again. So worth it. Would be awesome to include some afro colombian cumbia rhythms next update. That would be sick. Blessings ✊🏽 and great job. 👍🏼 💪🏽🫡

Very good app for learning cuban popular rhythms. I think, what the following will help to make your app better: 1) Please disable screen timeout. 2) Add more bata rhythms for Oggun and Chango 3) It would be better if changing the tempos did not stretch the tone of the samples 4) Add feature to change the volume of instruments independently

I bought the app twice, and it didn’t download on to my IPad / what a bummer

I am so disappointed because this app doesn't have any counts for the Beats. No numbers whatsoever to understand where all those syncopation fall on the measures.
