Well I figured out this mystery. Generally the Lebanese will call this rhythm Baladi, especially in the cabaret environment. But people in the Egyptian Folkloric environment consider this to be a variation of Maqsoum, which they refer to as the Root rhythm. Also the Egyptian Classical naming system would call the rhythm above Masmoudi Soraya which translate roughly in Small Masmoudi. So depending on the naming systems you use the rhythm above can have 3 different names.
1 dum is maksum dum tak es tak dum es tak es it's 8/8 ,balady is dum dum es tak dum es tak es 4/4 ,saidy es dum tak es dum dum es tak es 4/4,the 8/4 eill be masmoudy kaber /dum dum es tak dum es tak es but slow eash note count ass 1 sam thing ass balady but very slow that's whay it's 8/4 and the balady is faster so it's 4/4,the 8/4 you count eash note 1 ,the 4/4 you count eash note half so dum dum is 1 ,es tak is 2 dum es is 3 tak es is 4 so it's 4/4 hope you g it guys .
FWIW people, my drum teacher (who was Lebanese BTW) said the same thing - two doums was Baladi and one doum was Maqsoum. However, I have heard the rhythm they're playing here called Maqsoum too. I think in Egypt they call a fast-ish Baladi "Maqsoum". Has anybody else heard that?
I'm a metal guitarist, myself, so I have no idea about what kind of rhythms these are. There are some similarities between metal and this style of playing. I'd like to learn about this. Replace the dumbek with a double bass drum and give the guitarist a Dean from Hell and you got some metal.
I've not known Arabic teachers refer to this rhythm as Maqsoum, only Baladi like Souhail Kasper or Amir Naoum Chehade youtube com/ watch?v=TXiCwnmBy58
@iggytse Baladi não é ritmo. É uma denominação de expressão artistística popular. Tomemos como exemplo o Samba brasileiro. Ele é o "Baladi Brasileiro", assim como o forró e o pagode, mas o ritmo é SAMBA.
Uma dança característica Baladi pode ter o ritmo Maqsoum, como sua versão extendida, o Masmoudi Saghir e ainda temos o "Walking Maqsoum". Todos possuem compasso 4/4.
does anyone know the name of the string instrument?

Maqsum = dum tek es tek dum es tek es 8/4 (played fast could be thought of as 4/4)
Balady = dum dum es tek dum es tek es, same time sig.
es = silence or flourish techniques

This is definitely Baladi. Maqsoum has singular doums on 1 and 2.

correction: the doums are one 1 and 3
sorry

O tema MAQSOUM-BALADI é de dar o q falar...
