turnermoran -> palmas/foot question (Nov. 14 2012 18:02:02)
|
The other day I took a workshop with someone who stated that as a matter of practice, the foot is always involved in palmas, and marks the basic compás. In bulerias, he had foot on 12-3-7-8-10. In tangos, foot on 1. Palmas filled in remaining beats, contras, with various patterns that were shown. Granted, this was a basic palmas workshop, but my question is: 1) would you guys agree? 2) is it any different when you have cajon or drums, etc? (is there no more point since the foot sound is lost next to the much louder other percussion instruments) Any discussion on your experiences with how the foot is involved when performing palmas appreciated. (lastly, I should mention, this fella did not say the purpose of the foot is to help the palmero from getting lost, but rather to provide an audible sound that marks compás and is key to the over all sound a palmero would be trying to create)
