The simplest non-isochronous Euclidean rhythm, and thus the first one of interest to the xenrhythmist, this rhythm can highly resemble a waltz at slower tempi over a consistent background. It's first mode at higher tempos sounds like what is known as triplet feel swing/"triplet shuffle" in Western music. Keep in mind, however, that actual swing is a continuum of rhythmic timing, of which a triplet interpretation is but one possible point (albeit the one typically taught in Western music education)

Basic Rotations[]
| 1 | x | x | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | x | x |
Modifications[]
Due to this rhythm only having one large and one small group, any modification (altering one by a step) or permutation is equivalent to a rotation.
Examples[]
Everywhere, probably.
