A rhythmic pattern or cycle in Arabic music is called a "wazn" (Arabic: وزن; plural أوزان / awzān), literally a "measure". [1]A wazn is only used in musical genres with a fixed rhythmic-temporal organization including recurring measures, motifs, and meter or pulse. [2]

In music, the terms additive and divisive are used to distinguish two types of both rhythm and meter: . A divisive (or, alternately, multiplicative) rhythm is a rhythm in which a larger period of time is divided into smaller rhythmic units or, conversely, some integer unit is regularly multiplied into larger, equal units.
A technique in which a rhythmic pattern is superposed on another, heterometrically, and then supersedes it and becomes the basic metre. Usually, such time signatures are mutually prime, e.g., 4 4 and 3 8, and so have no common divisors. Thus the change of the basic metre decisively alters the numerical content of the beat, but the minimal ...
The rhythmic basis for one of the most enduring Latin jazz tunes comes from a cáscara variant adopted as a mambo bell pattern. "Manteca," co-written by Dizzy Gillespie and Chano Pozo in 1947, is the first jazz standards to be rhythmically based on clave.

Following the metronome, McCartney performed a rhythm track by hitting various parts of his body. [35] Also, in Ennio Morricone 's theme "Farewell to Cheyenne" (featured in the film Once Upon a Time in the West , 1968), the steady clip-clop beat is provided by the deliberately distorted and slowed-down sound of a mechanical metronome.
