"Drut Gat in Teental" is a track by sitar maestro Vilayat Khan. The performance appears on the album Raga Jaijaivanti, released in 1992 by India Archive Music. The recording is available in CD format.

Vilayat Khan performs this instrumental piece in the Hindustani classical tradition. The composition follows a drut (fast) tempo within the Teental cycle, which consists of 16 beats divided into four groups of four. The track has a duration of 18 minutes and 12 seconds. It is the third track on the album.

The album Raga Jaijaivanti features Vilayat Khan exploring the melodic framework of Jaijaivanti, a late-night raga in Hindustani classical music. The raga combines elements of Khamaj and Asavari thaat, characterized by its use of both shuddha and komal (natural and flat) notes. The recording captures Khan's signature style, marked by intricate taans, meend (glissando), and gamak (ornamentation).
