Play the darbuka on your iPhone and iPad
Dum Tek is a darbuka (doumbek, goblet drum) you play with your fingers. Recorded drum hits, classic Arabic rhythms to play along with, and lessons that take you from the first dum and tek to full patterns.
Coming soon to the App Store.
What is in it
Seven pads on one drum head. Dum, tek, ka, slap, tik and two rolls, laid out where your hands land.
Ten rhythms. Maksum, Baladi, Saidi, Ayoub, Malfuf, Masmoudi, Wahda, Fallahi, Khaleegy and Chiftetelli, at any tempo, with a metronome.
Lessons. Thirty levels in three tiers: follow the lights, play with few mistakes, then play from memory.
Your own rhythms. Build a pattern on a grid, hear it, and play over it.
More drums. Bongos and congas, with more to come.
Price
The app is free and has no ads. The darbuka, all ten rhythms and the first ten lessons are free. One payment, Dum Tek Pro, unlocks the other drums, lessons 11 to 30, unlimited own rhythms and all looks. There is no subscription.
