Tiny Belly Dance Mash Up – Episode 4

Check out this odd ball 3-1-2-1-1-1 zil pattern with syncopation.

In this episode of the Tiny Belly Dance Mash Up, we’ll take a look at some syncopation in your zilling.  This pattern starts on the “1” of the measure and rests on the “2” to create a syncopated rhythm.  It feels a bit like a chiftitelli.
