SambApp
SambApp 2.0
SambApp is a Brazilian rhythm metronome, including samba, choro, forró, and capoeira. It’s like having one or two percussionists playing for you at exactly at the speed, volume and in the style you want. This app is a tool for music or dance practice and performance, just like any other metronome. But it is much more productive and pleasurable to practice forró or samba-choro with an instrument as opposed to a metronome click. SambApp also functions as a drum machine that can be used in live settings. If you are lacking an extra percussion instrument or musician, SambApp can step in as your your pandeiro, shaker, and/or berimbau player. The app provides a steady beat just like any other metronome, but it adds a more fun and dynamic component with the sound of Brazilian percussion instruments: pandeiro, shaker, triangle, and berimbau.
