Usul

Japanese: ウスール
Usul
Turkish meter. A unique development of the Arab 'iqā', the rhythmic cycle is indicated by the contrasting sounds of two drums, the dum (low) and the tak (high). There are as many as 40 to 50 usurs, ranging from simple 2-, 3-, and 4-beat rhythms to 48- or 88-beat rhythms. There are also many asymmetrical rhythms, such as 5-, 7-, and 13-beat rhythms, and the 8-beat rhythms are subdivided into 3+2+3, and the 9-beat rhythms into 3+2+2+2 or 2+2+2+3.
