Jas's Middle Eastern Rhythms List
Look at this first:
rhythms annotations page -- contains a great deal of information about
some of these rhythms.
I notice there is a tendancy for beginning drummers to want to quickly "collect" as many rhythms as they can. (Hey, I did it too.) Let me point out that it is not the number of rhythms you can play, it's more about being able to communicate clearly with the vocabulary you have. Some of the "best" Middle Eastern drummers usually play only a couple of rhythms. Most songs are to basic rhythms of 2, 4, 6 or 8. The art of Middle Eastern drumming is in doing the most with what you have -- playing perfectly and precisely -- ornamenting the rhythm appropriately -- making all of the sounds that your instrument can make pleasingly.
TODO: this page is not very well formatted yet and lacks hotlinks between rhythms among other things
