I could try to dig up notes from my rythm teacher but like David was coutning makes sense.
I hear it like
dum-tak-dum-dum-tak which easily can be read/heard as saiidi if you dont listen to the microscopic change in timing in the beats
where the first dum is a quarter note so that the first dum-tak are closer together creating a slightly more limping feel than the straight 4 count saidi.
Does that makes sense?
And then there are extra dum-dum-dum that the tabl player will add in to create his own improv style.
And definitely try to put the steps to it, it really makes sense in the body.
I hope I have that right.
Love debke!

Lol, know what, I was limping around all over the place here when I was writing the first reply post here... actually doing the movement - THEN saying the emphasises with the movement and then writing down the rhythm I think/imagine it sounds like lol
Please lemme know when you get your notes out whether we're close. Now Im obsessing about it.
Now, wouldnt you say that there is a difference in the sound quality of a darbouka used for Saiidi and that huge davul looking drum they use in Debke? It doesnt SOUND Saiidi to me because of the houler sound of the debkeh drum.
