I was able to teach it to a classical guitarist, who had been previously frightened by it, by breaking it down into "two threes followed by three twos." I then convinced her to accompany me. Another point of interest is that in Western music, there are approx. 34 different rhythms while in ME music there are as much as 72. Can you imagine 64/8ths with accents only on specific beats. I certainly admire their drummers.

As a mental exercise, I developed a step doing triplets on the feet and playing 16ths on the castanets. Raised quite a few eyebrows on musicians faces as I had to define it for them. Many don't realize that one is capable of dividing one's thinking along different lanes at the same time. I guess that's why I chose Flamenco. It's challenging and fun.

Oh, by the way, have you listened to the drum contest between Lionel Hampton and Duffy Jackson. Hampton is certainly the most musical with his use of tuned drums. Here it is:

If you look you'll also find a group that has many unusual instruments. Here's that one also.

All you have to do to post YouTube things is cut the number and after you get it on take the s off the https since the forum won't allow the use of that letter.

I wondered why you thought Hamp was a drummer so I got this one with him and my favorite drummer, Gene Krupa. It is Hamp's band and Krupa is a guest.
