Baladi (middle eastern rhythm)
Wednesday, July 4th, 2007
Baladi is a simple middle eastern rhythm played on dumbek or tar or any drum really. I’m using Glen Velez’s notation system.
|| 123&4 56&7 8& ||
|| DD-TKT D-TKT TK ||
Notes
D = dum, bass note, strong hand
T = tek, edge or rim or high note, strong hand
K = kah, edge or rim or high note, weak hand
- = rest
*The notation will format differently on different browsers and IE users may not see things formatted correctly. Tip, get Safari, it’s free and it works on Macs and Windows now.
