Aye, zeibekiko is the most characteristic example I know of that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeibekiko https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeibekiko It's 9/8s in uneven splits, but it's difficult to break it down without showing you (by tapping my hand!). The wikipedia page has a couple of different analyses. The stuff that really messes with my brain is Greek Pontiac dances like dipat, like this one: https://youtu.be/tTZDVKMZOrk https://youtu.be/tTZDVKMZOrk I don't even know what the rythm is for that. Me and my friend keep trying to count it and failing and dissolving in giggles because we just can. not. comprehend it. (I got halfway to a modern drums diploma and my friend has studied classic guitar for ages. So much for that). Here's a modern vesrion with more prominent percussion: https://youtu.be/EeCOl8gn-1A https://youtu.be/EeCOl8gn-1A Here's a different Pontiac dance, Kotsari: https://youtu.be/IhtBTr0Ip1k https://youtu.be/IhtBTr0Ip1k And here's a Baidushka from Eastern Thrace: https://youtu.be/etU9eqQJweg https://youtu.be/etU9eqQJweg Counting which are left as an exercise to the reader. Have fun and sorry for the nerd snipe :)
