No. As per usual, no metronome throws people off...and I ain't making another palmas video.
I just re-listened & counted. Indeed, he is following the compas. However, he is abusing the elasticity of solea. In my mind, you can use rubato but to do that effectively, you have to prepare the listener for the elastic changes. It's like driving & getting to a stop sign: you don't slam on the breaks 1 foot before the line & throw the passenger through the windshield, but rather you slowly ease into the complete halt, and that is much better received. He is indeed playing 12-beat phrases, but at times when I was being thrown off thinking he was off compas, it was because he would start the phrase at one tempo & then change to a much faster tempo extremely quickly to the point that it created the illusion of missing beats rather than just stretching out or stacking up the beats / compas...
Cheers!
