Think of the rhythm in "Light Cavalry" -- du-dl-LUM DA DUM, du-dl-LUM DA DUM.
I would think if you wrote two 16th notes as a pick-up, and a downbeat, on each of your slow beats it would come out OK. As far as instruments, the classic is coconut shells on a board, but it would most commonly be played on wood block or temple blocks. It wouldn't need to be multi-toned.

From 'Introduction to Gait Analysis': "The three beats of the canter are closely spaced in time, but the third beat is followed by a longer interval that includes the airborne phase before the first beat of the next stride." Horse people always call it three beats, and my equestrienne wife and I always get into a you-anal-compulsive/you-non-musician argument about it. :) Dennis _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
