I dont' count it anymore, but when I did or would to teach palmas, the dancer way, 1.2.3..4..5. Notation is something else I think is important. Most often you see 3/4 alternate with 6/8, but you don't have the correct down beat represented. An easy way is to look at it like two odd meter phrases. 7 + 5. The grouping is important. The 7 is X-X-X--, a VERY common rhythm in the mediterranean. The 5 grouping is X--X-, also a common rhythm. The reason for two odd patterns is the way you hear the harmony and rhythmic phrasing resolve. Bb is the 7 phrase, then A is the resolution, the 5 beat phrase. Sorry if that sounds confusing, but on paper, if one is a good reader of rhythm (where is Guitarbuddha?), that type of phrasing really captures the proper feel, and also really separates it from the other 12 count rhythms, which are more symmetrical IMO.
