United StatesDavid Garibaldi's modern educational classic returns as an interactive, play-along app experience for drummers! Using the original backing tracks from Tower of Power's 2008 release The Oakland Zone, The Code of Funk breaks down the elements that have made Garibaldi's funky, linear, syncopated style a touchstone for drummers around the world for decades. Use the built in mixing console to design the perfect track to assist your study, isolating subtleties or removing the drums entirely when you're ready to replace them. Talk downs of each drum part are included, as well as detailed transcriptions of all tunes. Lead sheets have been included for all tracks -- written by David, exclusive to the app -- giving you a bird's eye view of each tune. What are you waiting for? Get The Code of Funk, and get funky!
App has completely stopped working
This app two years ago was amazing. Everything worked flawlessly. As soon as I updated my phone and got a new phone, it has completely stopped working. I’ve tried uninstalling reinstalling I purchased app, so I do not know what else to do. It’s been well over a year of me trying to do many different things and I still can’t get it to work. I’ve been trying to find a way to contact the developers, but have had no luck with that. Is this ab functioning or is it so old it needs to be updated to work with the newer versions of iPhone?
United StatesApp stopped working
Do not buy as it stopped working. Been trying for days to get it to work. Was a great app.
United States5 stars when app worked
Not sure why it wont work anymore. Been about a year since I used app. Fully purchased and worked great for the longest time. Developers what is the fix?
United StatesExcellent Play-along with Tutorials
This was previously packaged as a book with DVD-ROM. The essence is still there, as all of the tutorials and charts can be printed out. David Garibaldi’s explanations and breakdowns of each song are invaluable. My only criticism is that the layouts of the transcriptions are sometimes difficult to read, with some note groupings crowded together and others spaced out, all within the same measure. So, beats one & two take up less space than beat three, with beat four halfway between in size.
United StatesGreat to see this title on the App Store!
Overall really nice package. It's nice to have the Overview, Chart and complete transcription. Band sounds great and everything is in sync. Two comments with constructive criticism in mind... 1. There are some portrait/landscape issues on the iPad. You can only get to full screen on the charts in landscape mode, and when you flip to navigate back you often return to a full screen pic of Garibaldi:) 2. Once you drop all the drum tracks out, there is no count in. I know the app info states that you can print the charts, but I like to play the tracks from my phone while reading the charts on the iPad. But #1 makes this a little frustrating. Overall these are sure fun to play, and the transcriptions also gives us some insight into d.g.'s innovative fills as well as the grooves we've come to love. Well worth the $$

It's a great App! What else can I say? Very useful for younger musician's as myself that didn't really grow up on funk so I kinda look at it as a funk coarse.
