5/5Percussion 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!!!

5/5So worth it!
Actually has feel, because these are recordings of actual musicians playing all the parts, not midi sequences. Each loop is of ample length - sometimes longer to get some variation when applicable - for instance guanguanco loop is longer to allow quinto doing some soloing and variation. There is the ability to mute each part, change tempo (some digital artifacts of course, since these are recordings being slowed down or sped up, not midi sequences, but very usable). Many other features like every part notated, and videos of musicians playing the parts. I haven’t come across in-app purchases, also great.

5/5A must-have app
These guys have produced an immensely well thought out and beautifully executed app. As a rock and roll bass player who by sheer happenstance was fortunate enough to learn from an amazing mix of Afro Cuban musicians like Armando Peraza, Walfredo Reyes, Jr., Karl Perazzo, Rebeca Mauleón, Horacio “El Negro” Hernandez, Raul Rekow and others, I can safely say that the amount of work and passion that has been put into this app is second to none. If you even have a passing interest in bettering yourself as a musician, you should get this app.

4/5Great! Could use a few improvements
I love this app! I’m giving it 4 stars though, because there are a few improvements I’d like to see. I don’t like that the pitch of the percussion instruments change when adjusting tempo. I’d like for the pitch to be fixed. Or maybe to have separate controls for both pitch and tempo. Next, it would be nice to have separate volume controls for individual instruments. Finally, the bossa move rhythm maxes out at 155bpm, which is still pretty slow, so I’d like to have the ability to set a higher tempo for it. Other than that, I love this app and hope to see continual improvements in the future.

5/5Awesome
Percussion Tutor Review For the Latin or Afrocuban drummer, this app is worth 10x the price at least. Especially for bata rhythms and other folk rhythms that aren’t easy to find a lot of recordings of. Just wish you could adjust the volume levels of each instrument instead of just muting them. This would help seeing how two instruments fit together while distinguishing one from the other. Also, hope Bembe gets added soon.

4.92
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!

# 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!
