Four strokes in one word — Ti, Re, Ki, Te — alternating between the drums. The common nikas: two closed strokes on the dayan's syahi (middle-and-ring together, then index), a flat closed left hand on the bayan (Ki), then the dayan again (Te); the hand alternation is what lets it run at extreme speed.
Tirekite is the tradition's universal filler and accelerator: it densifies thekas (Ektaal, Jhumra), stuffs the interiors of relas, and tests evenness mercilessly — all four strokes must weigh the same or the word gallops.
