I liked your description of the beat. This is actually how I jot down quick notes on songs (I'm a drummer and I don't read music).
I think method this is better, in a way, because of the "even spacing" you mentioned. You can tap out 8th notes while reading each syllable (or combination of syllables); your eye follows the beat like a timeline. This is opposed to traditional sheet music, where note spacing is defined by an abstract set of symbols. Of course, the even spacing only makes sense if there are no rest notes, but since 99% of the music we listen to has hi-hats on the 8th notes, this usually isn't a problem.
Quick Nit-Picking Observation: you've written out two measures, but left the last 8th note off.
1.....2..3....4..5..6..7.........8
bom ts kuh ts ts ts bu-kuh ts
1.....2..3....4..5..6..7.........
8
bom ts kuh ts ts ts bu-kuh
Now, to your credit, the beat you recorded is exactly as I read it from your description,
including the dropped 8th note.
