Rumba Strumming Patterns

Hi everyone,

While I don't highly regard rumba as great flamenco, I'd like to know more strumming patterns used by everyone here. Original or from the great masters, both are fine as I simply want to expand my knowledge. Sadly, I only know one pattern from the Juan Serrano book that I have. Any additions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Cheston

Cheston, if you log in to FT you can view or hear the free previews of the rumba lessons I did a while back. To be fair to Ramin and the students I dont' want to give the info away on here.

Cheston, i've taken that lesson that Ricardo just recommended, and I have to say they're pretty awesome. There's several different patterns, and they all sound great.
