  • A must buy!

    A fantastic tool! (And it keeps getting better with every update!) Rhythms are written out and demonstrated with videos. Parts can be added/subtracted for practice. On of the best apps out there!
  • Excellent App

    Great app that is now part of my suite of practise tools. Just get it you wont regret.

    Wished it had a timer or at least show the clock so that the practice time per rhythm can be tracked before upping the tempo etc,
  • Fabulous and very authentic.

    The grooves in this app are very authentic. Love the ability to isolate instruments. There are a few conga players that rush, but overall an amazing app that’s well worth the money and practice time.
  • The greatest app ever?

    I am a musician and have travelled to a dozen countries to study. Much of what I’ve wanted to understand is all in this app. It is a treasure and an indispensable resource for those who want to explore traditional African rhythms.
  • Great App

    This is a great resource. Download their RhythmGame app as well. It’s challenging and fun.
  • Fabulous App

    Love the library or rhythms. Really a joy to hear them and break them down.
  • Awesome app

    If you play percussion, use the world music drumming curriculum as a teacher, participate in drum circles such as HealthRhythms, Arthur Hull’s Village Drum Circles or just love Afro Latin music then this is the book. It’s a great practice tools and is an awesome way to learn all the parts. If there are two of you you can mute two parts in an ensemble and jam out. The game that goes with this, Rhythm Game, is a great practice tool too. It gives feedback on best timing accuracy and is a great design. It’s free if you beat each level and you only pay to unlock all levels.

  • Percussion Tutor is a work of genius!!!

    I’m a musician who has played with many Latin Bands throughout my life. And I enjoy studying the different roles each percussionist in a section plays. For me, Percussion Tutor is like dying and going to heaven. It gives you so much for a ridiculously small price. The app is worth 20 times of its price. Not only do you get a very strong presentation of different AfroCuban Popular Dance Drum Patterns, you get an array of patterns in Cuban Folk Music, Rumba, Batá, etc. Each one of the Patterns and their role in the Culture of Cuba is discussed. Then Dominican, Puerto Rican, African, Brazilian, Peruvian Drum pattern are presented in a beautiful way. The recording sounds great. Great musicians. I highly recommend this app for anyone who loves the culture of Drums. Brilliant!!!

  • Awesome!!!

    Great app for practice!! I play along with all those grooves every day.
  • Total bait and switch

    The description says “world percussion”. So I downloaded the app hoping to use it for middleastern percussion sounds. But such a thing does not exist on this app. Since when does the “world” include Latin/Central America and then west Africa? So irritating.

    You really should read app descriptions before buying. Every single rhythm is listed with country of origin on the App Store page. You will find that information on our website too. There is also a free creative commons licensed book (with all the included rhythms transcribed) that can be downloaded without buying the app. We have a flawless track record of updating the app without relying on in-app purchases. An we will expand to other countries. Our global rating of 4,9 and reviews speak for themselves. Also before trashing an app just ask for a refund. Because that’s something we are offering too.
