“One of my mantras to students is that they practice/play with drums, for the obvious reason that the drums represent the heart beat of modern music, meaning jazz and latin-based rhythms. Mauro has made it possible for anyone to play along with the greatest drummers in the world, historical and contemporary, with the ability to alter tempo. Drumgenius is a great resource that can bring any player closer to the flame.”
Dave Liebman
Jazz saxophonist, composer (Miles Davis, Chick Corea, McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones…), educator. Artistic Director of the International Association of Schools of Jazz (IASJ).
“Mauro Battisti is a world-class bassist who has created a world-class teaching aid that addresses a fundamental challenge to successful jazz performance practice. Although bassists will benefit greatly from the chance to play their notes in just the right slot at any tempo with the simulated drum grooves, I feel that any instrumentalist would learn much from playing along with these tracks. And I think that drummers in particular will embrace Mauro’s work in identifying and illuminating some of the most important details of their artistic quest. This is a virtuoso educational work by a true musical virtuoso!”
Harold Danko

“This app is absolutely astounding! The sound quality and the completeness of the entire universe of rhythms are surely the result of an admirable effort performed by its creator, my great friend Mauro Battisti. Due to my long experience specially in classical music, where the search for perfection is essential, I think I’m not wrong when I say that Drumgenius is the most professional rhythm app to practice jazz or any kind of modern music.”
