RE: Todd's latest Buleria (in reply to Ron.M)

quote:
ORIGINAL: Ron.M I'm not very experienced in Bulerias, but this thinking in 3, 6, 8, 10, 12 etc somehow "seemed" wrong. I couldn't really believe that Spanish Flamencos were counting all this stuff out especially after a few tintos LOL! People the world over like music they can simply tap their feet to, not have to remember complicated cycles, and 2's definitely is the main rhythm base that folk can relate to in Bulerias. The only way I can possibly keep time/rhythm with a buleria is to tap my foot in twos, that is, tap foot on every second beat of the 12 beat 'clock'. However, the only way I can keep to the overall compas is by listening for certain accents and mentally 'aiming' for them, if that makes sense. I think it would be impossible to try and 'count out' the 12 beat clock whilst you are playing, especially in a fast buleria. As far as I'm concerned, the discussions about 3, 6, 8, 10 etc. is just a useful way of labelling things so we can communicate, but describing WHAT we are playing and what we think when we are playing are two differnt things, yes?
