Sjowaazheñ music is typically unmetered - there is a smallest note length and there may be small basic rhythmic figures in the melody but the rhythms are not organized into measures. When percussion accompaniment is used, "small" percussion such as woodblocks may sound on each "beat" in the music. The drum marks the beginning and end of sections.

Ceremonial or military music is an exception to the lack of meter.
