MANILA, Philippines — Philippine badminton coach Arolas (Bogs) Amahit Jr. said yesterday the run-up in preparing for the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games late this year is proceeding smoothly with high hopes that the host country will register a breakthrough in the sport after collecting only five bronze medals in the biennial 11-nation competition since 1981.

“We’re optimistic of performing better than ever before,” said Amahit who took over as head coach after the team went under Indonesians Rexy Mainaky and Paulus Firman for four years. “We’re better prepared and our morale is very high, particularly after winning medals in Adelaide and Sydney a few weeks ago. We had two months of training in Indonesia before playing in Australia and it looks like the hard work is paying off.”

Amahit said since assuming the head coaching position last year, the players in the national pool seem to be more responsive. “I think our players are able to relate more closely with the local coaches and it’s showing in how they’re performing,” he said. Amahit’s coaching staff is made up of Ralf Ian Mendez, Ronald Magnaye and Paul Vivas.

Mainaky, a former Olympic gold medalist in men’s doubles, coached the Philippine team for a year and Firman for three years before Amahit got the job. Amahit, 43, was a former national player and long-time assistant coach. His father Arolas Sr. was a Gintong Alay athlete who competed for the country in track in the Asian Games. His mother Virginia was a Physical Education professor. His parents were both Physical Education teachers at Mindanao State University in Marawi where he earned a degree in forestry.

The second of three children, Amahit is married to former national badminton player Mylene Delgado and their two daughters Alyssa, 19 and Kelly Mae, 11, are both varsity shuttlers. Alyssa plays for Lyceum and Kelly Mae for Divine Word Academy. Amahit’s parents are now retired and living in Dumaguete, their hometown.

“Our goal is to make the finals in the SEA Games,” said Amahit. “That will assure us of a silver. We’ve never gotten a medal higher than bronze in the SEA Games. Once we’re in the finals, anything can happen. A gold in the SEA Games is like a gold in the Olympics because in the SEA Games, the best players from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore compete. In Australia recently, we took medals in men’s and mixed doubles. It was our best performance ever. We played against top players from Indonesia, China and the US. We got much better because of our training in Indonesia where we learned from Olympic champion Markis Kido. There was no pressure when we played in Australia. We just went out there and played our best without any expectations.”

At the South Australia International Open in Adelaide last Sept. 12-15, the Philippines’ Philip Escueta and Paul Pantig claimed the bronze medal in men’s doubles. They bowed to Korea’s Kim Duk-young and Kim Sarang in the semifinals, 21-13, 21-6 but not before disposing of Australia’s Michael Fariman and Ming Cheng Lim, 21-10, 21-8, the US’ Philip Chew and Ryan Chew, 9-21, 22-20, 21-19 and Australia’s Maika Philips and Dacmen Vong, 21-16, 21-15.

In Sydney, Filipino shuttlers Peter Magnaye and Thea Marie Pumar captured the gold in mixed doubles by thumping New Zealand’s Oliver Leydon-Davis and Anona Pak, 21-9, 21-19 in the final last Sept. 21. Magnaye and Alvin Morada combined for the silver in men’s doubles while Morada and Alyssa Ysabel Leonardo settled for the bronze in mixed doubles.

The Philippine team will leave tomorrow for more training in Indonesia where the players are also set to compete in an international tournament on Oct. 21-27. Then, the squad of eight men and eight women will participate in the Smart National Open here on Nov. 4-9 then compete in another joust in Malaysia on Nov. 12-17.

The Philippine badminton team failed to land a podium finish in the 2017 SEA Games in Kuala Lumpur. The total haul of five bronze medals came in 1981 and 1991 with the women’s team, 1997 with Kennie Asuncion and Weena Lim in women’s doubles, 2003 with Kennevic and Kennie Asuncion in mixed doubles and 2015 with Escueta and Ronel Estanislao in men’s doubles.

In music and music theory, the beat is the basic unit of time,^{[clarification needed]} the pulse^{[clarification needed]} (regularly repeating event), of the mensural level^[1] (or beat level).^[2] The beat is often defined as the rhythm listeners would tap their toes to when listening to a piece of music, or the numbers a musician counts while performing, though in practice this may be technically incorrect (often the first multiple level). In popular use, beat can refer to a variety of related concepts, including pulse, tempo, meter, specific rhythms, and groove.

Rhythm in music is characterized by a repeating sequence of stressed and unstressed beats (often called 'strong' and 'weak') and divided into bars organized by time signature and tempo indications.

Metric levels faster than the beat level are division levels, and slower levels are multiple levels. Beat has always been an important part of music. Some music genres such as funk will in general de-emphasize the beat, while other such as disco emphasize the beat to accompany dance.^[3]

Division[edit]

As beats are combined to form measures, each beat is divided into parts. The nature of this combination and division is what determines meter. Music where two beats are combined is in duple meter, music where three beats are combined is in triple meter. Music where the beat is split in two are in simple meter, music where the beat is split in three are called compound meter. Thus, simple duple (2/4, 4/4, 2/2, etc.), simple triple (3/4), compound duple (6/8), and compound triple (9/8). Divisions which require numbers, tuplets (for example, dividing a quarter note into five equal parts), are irregular divisions and subdivisions. Subdivision begins two levels below the beat level: starting with a quarter note or a dotted quarter note, subdivision begins when the note is divided into sixteenth notes.

Downbeat and upbeat[edit]

The downbeat is the first beat of the bar, i.e. number 1. The upbeat is the last beat in the previous bar which immediately precedes, and hence anticipates, the downbeat.^[4] Both terms correspond to the direction taken by the hand of a conductor.

This idea of directionality of beats is significant when you translate its effect on music. The crusis of a measure or a phrase is a beginning; it propels sound and energy forward, so the sound needs to lift and have forward motion to create a sense of direction. The anacrusis leads to the crusis, but doesn't have the same 'explosion' of sound; it serves as a preparation for the crusis.^[5]

An anticipatory note or succession of notes occurring before the first barline of a piece is sometimes referred to as an upbeat figure, section or phrase. Alternative expressions include 'pickup' and 'anacrusis' (the latter ultimately from Greek ana ['up towards'] and krousis ['strike'/'impact'] through French anacrouse). In English, anákrousis translates literally as 'pushing up'. The term anacrusis was borrowed from the field of poetry, in which it refers to one or more unstressed extrametrical syllables at the beginning of a line.^[4]

On-beat and off-beat[edit]

In typical Western music ⁴
₄ time, counted as '1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4...', the first beat of the bar (downbeat) is usually the strongest accent in the melody and the likeliest place for a chord change, the third is the next strongest: these are 'on' beats. The second and fourth are weaker—the 'off-beats'. Subdivisions (like eighth notes) that fall between the pulse beats are even weaker and these, if used frequently in a rhythm, can also make it 'off-beat'.^[8]

The effect can be easily simulated by evenly and repeatedly counting to four. As a background against which to compare these various rhythms a bass drum strike on the downbeat and a constant eighth note subdivision on ride cymbal have been added, which would be counted as follows (bold denotes a stressed beat):

• 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 —play eighth notes and bass drum alone
• 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4—the stress here on the 'on' beat play But one may syncopate that pattern and alternately stress the odd and even beats, respectively:
• 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 —the stress is on the 'unexpected' or syncopated beat play

So 'off-beat' is a musical term, commonly applied to syncopation that emphasizes the weak even beats of a bar, as opposed to the usual on-beat. This is a fundamental technique of African polyrhythm that transferred to popular western music. According to Grove Music, the 'Offbeat is [often] where the downbeat is replaced by a rest or is tied over from the preceding bar'.^[8] The downbeat can never be the off-beat because it is the strongest beat in ⁴
₄ time.^[9] Certain genres tend to emphasize the off-beat, where this is a defining characteristic of rock'n'roll and Ska music.

Backbeat[edit]

A back beat, or backbeat, is a syncopated accentuation on the 'off' beat. In a simple ⁴
₄ rhythm these are beats 2 and 4.^[12]

'A big part of R&B's attraction had to do with the stompin' backbeats that make it so eminently danceable,' according to the Encyclopedia of Percussion.^[13] An early record with an emphasised back beat throughout was 'Good Rockin' Tonight' by Wynonie Harris in 1948.^[14] Although drummer Earl Palmer claimed the honor for 'The Fat Man' by Fats Domino in 1949, which he played on, saying he adopted it from the final 'shout' or 'out' chorus common in Dixieland jazz, urban contemporary gospel was stressing the back beat much earlier with hand-clapping and tambourines.^{[citation needed]} There is a hand-clapping back beat on 'Roll 'Em Pete' by Pete Johnson and Big Joe Turner, recorded in 1938.^{[citation needed]} A distinctive back beat can be heard on 'Back Beat Boogie' by Harry James And His Orchestra, recorded in late 1939.^[15] Other early recorded examples include the final verse of 'Grand Slam' by Benny Goodman in 1942 and some sections of The Glenn Miller Orchestra's '(I've Got A Gal In) Kalamazoo', while amateur direct-to-disc recordings of Charlie Christian jamming at Minton's Playhouse around the same time have a sustained snare-drum back-beat on the hottest choruses.^{[citation needed]}

Outside U.S. popular music, there are early recordings of music with a distinctive backbeat, such as the 1949 recording of Mangaratiba by Luiz Gonzaga in Brazil.^[16]

Slap bass executions on the backbeat are found in styles of country western music of the 1930s, and the late '40s early '50s music of Hank Williams reflected a return to strong backbeat accentuation as part of the honky tonk style of country.^[18]In the mid-1940s 'hillbilly' musicians the Delmore Brothers were turning out boogie tunes with a hard driving back beat, such as the No. 2 hit 'Freight Train Boogie' in 1946, as well as in other boogie songs they recorded.^{[citation needed]} Similarly Fred Maddox's characteristic backbeat, a slapping bass style, helped drive a rhythm that came to be known as rockabilly, one of the early forms of rock and roll.^[19] Maddox had used this style as early as 1937.^[20]

In today's popular music the snare drum is typically used to play the backbeat pattern.^[6] Early funk music often delayed one of the backbeats so as 'to give a 'kick' to the [overall] beat'.^[17]

Some songs, such as The Beatles' 'Please Please Me' and 'I Want to Hold Your Hand', The Knack's 'Good Girls Don't' and Blondie's cover of The Nerves' 'Hanging on the Telephone', employ a double backbeat pattern.^[21] In a double backbeat, one of the off beats is played as two eighth notes rather than one quarter note.^[21]

Cross-beat[edit]

Cross-rhythm. A rhythm in which the regular pattern of accents of the prevailing meter is contradicted by a conflicting pattern and not merely a momentary displacement that leaves the prevailing meter fundamentally unchallenged—New Harvard Dictionary of Music (1986: 216).^[22]

Hyperbeat[edit]

A hyperbeat is one unit of hypermeter, generally a measure. 'Hypermeter is meter, with all its inherent characteristics, at the level where measures act as beats.'^[23][24]

Related concepts[edit]

• Tatum refers to a subdivision of a beat which represents the 'time division that most highly coincides with note onsets'.^[25]
• Afterbeat refers to a percussion style where a strong accent is sounded on the second, third and fourth beats of the bar, following the downbeat.^[12]
• In Reggae music, the term One Drop reflects the complete de-emphasis (to the point of silence) of the first beat in the cycle.
• James Brown's signature funk groove emphasized the downbeat – that is, with heavy emphasis 'on the one' (the first beat of every measure) – to etch his distinctive sound, rather than the back beat (familiar to many R&B musicians) which places the emphasis on the second beat.^[26][27][28]
