Rumbaking - I'm away from HQ until the end of the week but when I get back I'll have an attempt at making a video or an audio recording. It's the kind of thing that if you see it or hear it clearly you'll get the concept straight away. I'm a bit hesitant here as I fear I might complicate this for you but here goes; essentially, out of every three pulses in a 12-pulse cycle the foot plays two; foot, foot, three; foot foot six etc. Put on something like 'Cayos Reales' or one of those Jerez compilations of endless bulerias. See if you can hear the 'seven, eight'. Once you've got the 'seven, eight' try and get your foot to play along from there. My experience would suggest that this foot thing is something really worth learning but, equally, there's a ton of merit in what others are saying, particularly about the amount of compas you expose yourself to and trying to play palmas. All the best Changue
