title:
Duple and quadruple metre
text:
Duple metre is a musical metre characterized by a primary division of 2 beats to the bar, usually indicated by 2 and multiples (simple) or 6 and multiples (compound) in the upper figure of the time signature, with 2, 4, and ⁶8 being the most common examples. Shown below are a simple and a compound duple drum pattern.

- Though the upper number must be divisible by 2, the mere fact that 2 evenly divides the upper figure does not in and of itself indicate a duple metre; it is only a prereq
