Düm-tek pattern
In notation
Single-line notation: right-hand strokes (düm, te) above the line, left-hand strokes (tek, ke) below; durations shown as note values.
14/8: one cycle is 14 units; the width of each box is the length of the stroke.
Small usul 14 beats
A 14-beat usul (14/8, or the heavier 14/4); made up of a semai and a sofyan following one another twice, that is, of two Devr-i Hindi. Because it is widely used in Mevlevî âyins, it is also called the Mevlevî or the Âyin Devr-i Revan; it also appears in peşrev, beste and şarkı. The 13-beat Şarkı Devr-i Revan and the Bektashi Devr-i Revan are separate usuls.
