Druid Drum Loops

Really great for the coming holiday.

Giving it five stars because 1) as a traditional pan-Celtic fiddler I was looking for an app like this, and 2) the app is free. It just needs a couple of things to be great. 1) Needs some BASIC rhythms, e.g. a selection of basic reel and jig rhythms. (Organized into groups, ideally). The loops provided are interesting and creative, but very few of them are useful for backing. 2) This is a bit of a nitpick, but what’s up with the volume slider? No bpm indication and the thing goes up way too high— it’s like the speedometer on my old Toyota Scion.

Great beats. They are great for meditating and feeling one with the divine through ancient Druid energy.

I like the sounds. Very authentic bodhran loops. You really have to run the sound through a quality speaker or headphones to hear how great they are. They go well with session tunes and ballads. However there seems to be no pattern for a waltz or air. The various rhythm pictograms work ok to distinguish the patterns but I sure wish they also had written below these icons the meter (6/8, 4/4 etc.). That would make it so much easier to find things.

I play Irish flute music and took the time to photograph the different symbols for each drum beat, assign them each a number and that way, I can preview which beat best accompanies each Irish tune before performing them. ❤️☘️ -Karen
