## What is Tabla Free (Darbuka and Belly Dancer طبلة و رقاصة)?

Get a Drum and a Belly Dancer on your device! What about a pair of finger cymbals too?! Tap on the Drum or the Finger Cymbals and the Belly Dancer will dance with the beat! 

Our dancer is real and awesome! Go to http://www.meissoun.ch to know more about her and see her bio, photos, class infos and even request her to come dance in your next event! 

This application comes with 10 different drum beats and 2 finger cymbal sounds. You can customize which area of the drum/cymbals plays which sound using the preferences page. 

Here is how the default configuration works: tap on the center of the Drum, and you will get the base (or "Doum") sound. The upper left corner of the drum will play a "Roll" and the three other corners will play 3 different "Tak" sounds giving you 5 different beats. 

The 2 finger cymbals in the bottom will play 2 different sounds giving a nice rhythm when played consecutively. 

You can play one of two Balady drum loops in the background and tap along with it. The speed of the drum loop can be controlled by using the + and - buttons.

Touch the dancer for random voice effects and the lips at the top of the screen for a zaghroota (ululation sound). 

You can switch from the Tabla Drum to the Digital Pad Tabla using the preferences to have access to all beats at the same time. 

The Tabla (also known as Arabic drum, darbukkah, darbouka or dumbak) is a single headed hand drum found in most Arab music ensembles. 

For best sound quality, connect your device to external speakers or headphones. 

You can play your music in the background while using this application and accompany the song!

Lol this is great. Now just got to find the rhythm. Just gave it 5 stars because the belly dancer in the corner was really annoying. There should be a way to disable her...

Now I've taken this down to one star because it only worked temporarily. I guess we have to buy the full version to get it to keep working?
