'''Teental''' (alternatively spelled '''tintal''', '''teentaal''', or '''tintaal''', and also called '''trital'''; Hindi: [[wikt:तीन ताल|तीन ताल]]) is the most common ''[[Tala (music)|tala]]'' of [[Hindustani music|Hindustani Classical Music]], and is used for ''drut'' (fast-tempo) structure of tintal. It is so symmetrical that it presents a very simple rhythmic structure against which a performance can be laid.<ref>[http://www.chandrakantha.com/tala_taal/teental_tin_taal/tintal.html Indian Music - Tintal (Teental)]</ref> It is played on [[Tabla]] as well as on Percussion instruments.

==Arrangement==
Tintal has sixteen (16) beats<ref name="Doel2008">{{cite book|author=Sarah M. Van Doel|title=Sikh Music: History, Text, and Praxis|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qRhqsRyreiIC&pg=PA57|accessdate=1 July 2012|year=2008|publisher=ProQuest|isbn=978-0-549-83369-7|pages=57–}}</ref> 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.

==Uses==
Tintal can be used for both accompaniment and solo. There are various Kaidas and Parans based on it. Tintal is the widely used tal. The Tintal is mostly used in the drut laya and Zhalas.

Note the bols used for the first beat of each division: Dha, 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 the Lucknow Gherana.
