Great threads! This is the stuff that really gets me going! For folks interested in learning more about syllabic rhythms, I'll share a few great resources I've found in addition to the book Mark mentioned. - Google "konnokol", the Indian vocal percussion drum language. Practically any recordings you find are worth listening to. - Check out TaKeTiNa <http://www.TaKeTiNa.com/> which fuses the idea of Indian talas with ideas from a few other music traditions and introduces the concept of rhythmic archetypes. Workshops, CDs, and concerts are available. Very polyrhythmic, very cool stuff. (I'm actually enrolled in an intensive three-year training in this work right now, so maybe I'm a little biased.) - Glen Velez <http://www.GlenVelez.com/> & his wife Lori Cotler <http://www.LoriCotler.com/> have workshops, CDs, and concerts all over the world too. Especially on their more recent material you can hear plenty of odd-meter, spoken-rhythm, polyrhythmic and beautifully textured music. There are other drum languages and non-counting rhythmic systems all over the world, too. But of all the ancient ones that I know about, the Indian system is definately the most structured.
