Tabla

Get a Drum and a Belly Dancer on your iPhone! 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 play 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.

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 iPhone/iPod touch to external speakers or headphones.

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