Macsoum (middle eastern rhythm)
Jul 14th, 2007 by Richard
Macsoum is a simple middle eastern rhythm played on dumbek or tar or any drum really. I’m using Glen Velez’s notation system.
|| 12&3&4 5&6&78 ||
|| DD-KTKT D-KTKT-T ||
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 now Windows too.
Thanks! I’m already playing it on the tar drum I recently got directly from Glen Velez.
Best wishes,
Gustavo
Gustavo: Great. I’ll put more rhythms up soon. Glad you’re playing.
