What Is It
Let’s Do Tala

Arrangement

Teental (alternatively spelled tintal, teentaal, or tintaal, and also called trital; Hindi: तीन ताल) is the
most common tala of Hindustani music, and is used for drut (fast-tempo) Khyal. The structure of tintal is so
symmetrical that it presents a very simple rhythmic structure against which a performance can be laid. It is
played on Tabla as well as on Percussion instruments.

Uses

Tintal has sixteen (16) beats in four equal divisions (Vibhag). The period between every two beats
is equal. The first beat out of 16 beats is called sam and the 9th beat is called khali ('empty'). To count the
Teental, the audience claps on the first beat, claps on the 5th beat, then waves on the 9th beat and lastly
again claps on the 13th beat; these three claps (Hindi tin 'three' + tāl 'clap') give the rhythm its name.
Theka

Tintal can be used for both accompaniment and solo. There are various Kaidas and Parans for it.
Tintal is the widely used tal. The Tintal is mostly used in the drut laya and Zhalas. When Tintal is played at
a fast rate or in the drut laya then it sounds as if tintal is played in the reverse i.e. the reverse of tintal would
be;
Dha Dhin Dhin Dha
Dha Dhin Dhin Dha
Dha Tin Tin Na
Ta Dhin Dhin Dha

मात्रा भाग: ४-४-४-४.

धा धिं धिं धा - धा धिं धिं धा - धा तिं तीं ता - ता धिं धीं धा
It has a characteristic pattern of bols (theka).
The Theka for Tintal

This can also be shown using the following figure

Note the bols used for the first beat of each division: Dhaa, a bol involving both hands, is played at
the beginning of the first, second and final divisions; for the khali section, Naa – a right hand bol – is used
to indicate that the division is open. There are some pedagogical variations as to the actual syllables
pronounced when reciting the bol, most of which occur in the final two vibhags. Also note that this variation
is from Lucknow Style.

Procedures:

1. Wash and dry your tin cans, removing the label.

2. Now add your paint. This is where you can get really creative. These are your drums, so decorate them
any way you’d like. You added some zigzags, even some black Decorated Twinkles paint for some extra
sparkle! Let the paint dry completely.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teental

3. With your scissors, cut your balloon. You’ll want to cut farther down than you think, just about where it
starts to get big toward the base. You can always cut more, so it’s best to start cutting closer to the top.
4. Stretch your balloon over your tin can. You need to stretch it as much as possible to get the best drum
sound. If you’re having trouble with the stretching, you can help it stay in place with tape or glue dots.
Balloons were good at sticking to the can and staying in place.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teental

5. With your glue, add your ribbon to the seam of your balloon. This will help glue the balloon in place as
well as glue on the ribbon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Teental

6. Now it’s ready for some drum sticks. Used paper tubes, pencils, and paint brushes, all worked well!
Discover that the sides of the tin can make a great sound too, when you rub a pencil down the ribbed side.
It’s an all-in-one musical instrument!
