Tap along with basic Salsa patterns and improve your command of clave: You can pick a pattern and learn to tap it out together with clave. Now, flip hands and master it that way as well. You will feel how clave works with your pattern, and have a better understanding of how your part fits. Why this app: Salsa music really begins to make sense when you know how the patterns of the various instruments go together. This app was built with this in mind! Clave Master allows you to easily choose a pattern by tapping on the music staff or by long-pressing the tap pads. Choose "None" on one thumb to get a single pattern mastered, then up the ante by adding a different pattern to the other tap pad! Start at a slow tempo, work diligently to learn the patterns against one another, and you will gain a deep understanding of how the patterns in salsa music function together. You will dance better, you will play better, and you will begin to FEEL the clave!

Ritmos is a rhythm station app with great loops. Play different latin genres of rhythms and jam along! • Ritmos is designed for both amateurs and professionals. It helps you write your own song. • You can use it with drums, guitar, piano, darbuka, percussion, violin, strings and many other musical instruments. • You can set the tempo/BPM by tap the screen thanks to specially developed algorithms. • Jam along your songs with real rhythm tracks instead of boring metronome sounds. • You can filter the loops at whatever bpm, genre, and measure you want. Then reach the rhythm in the style that suits you best! • A cleverly designed drum engine lets you change the tempo/BPM of each beat. This makes practicing even more fun and you don't need your metronome or rhythm station. Multi-Channel Equalizer With the graphic-based equalizer, there are different tuning channels and scrolling arrows for you to make adjustments on these channels. When you pull the bar up on each channel, the signal is increased, while when you pull the bar down, the signals are decreased. With the help of the equalizer, you can make the best adjustment according to your own music taste. BPM Tapper Tap BPM tool allows you to calculate tempo and count Beats Per Minute (BPM) by tapping any key for rhythm or beat. Tap for a few seconds to quickly calculate BPM without waiting for the whole minute. It works equally well for RPM and RPS. Ritmos A drum beat or drum pattern is a rhythmic pattern or repeated rhythm played in drum kits and other percussion instruments, forming the measure and groove through the beat and subsection. This type of beat consists of multiple latin beats occurring in multiple musical beats, while drum beat can also refer to a single drum beat that may take more or less time than the current beat. Many drum beats describe or are characteristic of certain types of music. Many basic latin beats create the pulse with alternating bass and snare beats, while a ride cymbal or hihat creates a subdivision. Ritmos includes the following music genres: • Reggaeton Latin Loops • Gipsy Latin Loops • Cha Cha Latin Loops • Bachata Drum Loops • Meneaito Drum Loops • Tortura Drum Loops • Sambalegre Drum Loops • Mambo Drum Loops • Bossa Latin Beats • Andean Latin Beats • Bayon Drum Loops • Disco Samba Drum Loops • Limbo Latin Beats • Bamba Drum Loops • Bomba Latin Beats • Merengue Drum Beats • Sabor Drum Beats • 2/4 Drum Loops • 4/4 Drum Loops • Latin Drum Loops • Latin Dance Drum Loops • Limbo Drum Loops Features: - Adjustable tempo speed - Play in background - Tunes sorting - Many beats, tunes and drum backgrounds - Can be use as metronome and rhythm box - Çok kanallı equalizer - BPM Tapper Subscription: • Title: Ritmos Premium • Length of subscription: 1 year • Price of subscription: 19.99$ / Year • Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase • Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period, and identify the cost of the renewal • Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase • Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication, where applicable Terms and conditions: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy policy: https://www.serkanmusic.com/drum-apps-privacy-policy/
