These drums lay the foundation for creating harmonic healing trance induced rhythms.   Tabla are not in standard 4/4 and notoriously hard to program. Tabla follows the idea of taal, or a cycle of a set number of beats. Within repeating cycles of a taal in various designated speeds can exist different compositions, both fixed ones and ones that can be expanded through the help of various variations. With a content-filled dictionary of vocabulary, sharp consonants as well as resonating vowels are used to make bigger arrangements. Tabla players use several components of imagination, mathematical patterns, and logical variations in order to compose astonishing percussion.  This app simplifies the process, all you have to do is tap a button and the app plays loops for you.   The app has been designed a to accurately reproduce the sound of an original Tabla drums,  including its beautiful tone, resonance and overtones.
