[Taala] The Rhythm of the Country of Reincarnation Is Spinning
Taala is cycles of the beats.
In classical music, the cycles of 10 beats, 12 beats and 16 beats are often used and the cycles are called Taal.
The first beat has the name of Sam, and Taal also has Khaali, which is determined by the beat number(s) according to the cycle.
Sam is the most important first beat of each cycle and also is ended with, that is to say, the rule is unique which the start and the end of the Taal are the same beat.
Khaali, which means vacancy, does not represent an offbeat but the bass part of the drum is rested to give a periodic sense to the rhythmical patterns.
As a cycle can be created longer than four beats if khaali is added when 4 time is repeated, the rhythmical pattern are determined in various cycles and are called Theka.
The rhythmical patterns are called Bol and the way the drum is beaten is like words.
The sound and the shapes of the hands are fixed, and the sung Bol can be struck as it is as the patterns of the drums.
Usually you are sure to be surprised at what is happening when the player(s) suddenly says “Dha tirkita dha tete...” or the like in the solo performance of the drums.
However, it will be even more surprising if you hear the rhythmical patterns played on the drums as they were/are sung, furthermore, you will be quite amazed when you notice that each mass of the complicatedly combined patterns is repeated three times and always returns to the first beat.
