About PercussionTutor

MODERN DRUMMER MAGAZINE (October 2015 issue):
“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 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.

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.

Damian Erskine (bassist, educator, writer for NoTreble.com):
“PercussionTutor is truly fantastic and a blast to play along with”. (full review on NoTreble.com)

Lincoln Goines (electric and acoustic bassist) writes: “This app is an engaging and informative way to check out the original funk. A great tool for musicians, dancers, and all lovers of rhythm”.

Percussive Arts Society: “The interactive application is very thorough [...]. Navigation is simple and the layout is logical and easy to grasp.”

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 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.

# We added 3 new rhythms #

- Xaxado from a genre called forró which originated in the northeast part of Brazil.
- Yuca , an Afro-Cuban folkloric rhythm played by the Bantu.
- Conga also called conga de comparsa is the name given to the rhythm of the Cuban Carnaval. Comparsas are large ensembles of costumed dancers, musicians and singers that perform in the street carnavals of Havana and Santiago de Cuba. In this example, you hear a conga habanera from Havana.

Enjoy!

We got a 4.5/5 score from the great German online magazine Bonedo: http://www.bonedo.de/artikel/einzelansicht/percussiontutor-app-version-44-test.html. And take a look at Modern Drummer's October edition: " 9 iOS Apps Every Drummer Should Know".

###Special new year edition###

- 4 new rhythms: Timba, Abakua Havana, Agayu Part 1 & 2 (with three new videos)
- audio over bluetooth functionality is back!
- playback indicator (very handy to know your position in a rhythm's cycle and of course to give us simple mortal players an idea about the first downbeat ...)
- minor bug fixes (also some sheet corrections, thanks to bonedo.de for pointing that out)
- we updated the version number to 4.92 and there is a reason why we stopped short of calling it a V5.0 ... so expect great things in 2016!
