Description

Big Daddy' O Bongos (bdBongos) simulates "slapping the skins", or to translate for those of you from Squaresville, "playing the bongos." This application was designed for the Twenty-first Century Beatnik. There are basically two tones that can be made on the each bongo drum, the small drum and the large drum. Touching the center of the drum produces one tone and touching the outer edge of the drum produces another. Perfect for an impromptu "jam session" or a poetry reading at the coffee house. You can also select a song from your playlist, then return to the iPhone or iPod Touch main screen and launch bdBongos and play along with the "Swinging Cats." Like, Wow!, man.

Touching the "Information" button reveals copyright information as well as an original piece of music, composed and arranged by Keith Graden Greene.
