Dha: Learn Tabla Riyaz, Lessons & Accompaniment
Start with five free Foundations lessons and 28 free accompaniment cycles. Dha brings guided tabla practice and experimental timing checks to your iPhone and iPad.
One cycle. One lesson. A little riyaz today.
Practice microphone audio stays on your device. See the privacy policy for purchase and online-feature data handling. Dha support · Privacy · Purchase terms
Choose a taal, set a comfortable tempo, and follow a guided lesson alongside your own tabla practice. Dha includes 41 lessons, a playable dayan and bayan, a taal-aware metronome and accompaniment tools for a focused riyaz session.
Five Foundations lessons included
Start the guided course free. Dha Pro, a one-time Lifetime purchase, unlocks all 41 lessons, with practice targets and teacher or self-review checkpoints.
28 free accompaniment cycles
Set up a cycle with sam, tali and khali on a taal clock, then practise with the tabla, tanpura and lehera accompaniment. Tap tempo, AUv3 and MIDI tools are also included.
A metronome that knows the taal
On the Play tab, the metronome clicks every matra: strongest on sam, marked on tali and softest on khali. Turn the theka off for a click-only or lehera-only loop.
Timing estimates, with limits
Optional microphone checks estimate pulse, spacing, tempo consistency and return to sam. They are experimental; bol identity and physical technique need your own or a teacher's review.
Make room for one focused session.
Choose a cycle.
Open the free accompaniment tools, choose a taal and set a tempo you can follow comfortably.
Work through a lesson.
Start with the five included Foundations lessons. Read the practice target and listen before trying it on your own drums.
Review what you played.
Use the teacher or self-review checkpoints. If you try a microphone check, treat timing and sam estimates as experimental evidence, not proof of correct bols.
Free charts, guides & references
Two free beginner guides: counting a taal cycle with claps and waves, and building speed slowly with a tempo ladder.
Questions
What can I use free?
The first five Foundations lessons, playable tabla, 28 accompaniment cycles, tanpura, lehera, tap tempo, AUv3 and MIDI tools, and three experimental timing checks a week. No purchase is required for these tools.
What does Dha Pro add?
All 41 lessons in eight modules, unlimited experimental timing checks, on-device Coach drills and the pattern composer. Dha Pro is a one-time Lifetime purchase: pay once, no renewal. Lifetime works with Family Sharing, and the app shows your local price and terms before you buy.
I already subscribe. What changes?
Nothing you have to do. Existing monthly and yearly subscribers keep their plan, and you can switch to Lifetime from Settings in the app.
Does Dha have a metronome?
Yes. The taal-aware metronome on the Play tab clicks every matra, with the strongest click on sam, a marked click on tali and the softest on khali. Turn the theka off when you want a click-only or lehera-only loop.
Can Dha tell whether I played the right bol?
No. Automated bol recognition is not a supported claim. The optional timing and sam estimates do not certify stroke quality, technique or lesson mastery. Use the lesson checkpoints with your own or a teacher's review.
Do I need real tabla?
You can explore the playable dayan and bayan and hear accompaniment on iPhone or iPad. For physical stroke practice, use real tabla; a touchscreen cannot reproduce the contact or response of the drums.
Does Dha work on iPad and Apple Watch?
Yes. Dha is one app for iPhone and iPad, and its Apple Watch taal keeper covers Teental, Jhaptaal, Rupak, Keharwa and Dadra with a haptic tap on sam.
What happens to microphone audio?
Practice microphone audio is processed on your device. Purchase and online features have separate data handling; see the app privacy policy.
Will I lose my history if a subscription ends?
No. Your local practice history remains readable and the free tools remain available. Lifetime is a one-time purchase and does not renew.
