While all is good I guess...I feel there is general underestimation and lack of significance to what you guys are calling "seguido" pattern. Basically, I feel it is ALL about THAT and the rest are just variations on or around that and you need someone doing that, plus you are missing the basic contra pattern that complements that one normally. Also missing the foot, which can happen more than just on 12 or 6, though that is a way to teach beginners. Against your seguido pattern you would need something like this: Clap (fairly loud) on 12 w/foot rest on 1. clap fairly loud between 1 and 2 (& in other words) rest on 2 but do the foot. CLAP loud on 3 clap soft on 4 with foot. clap soft on 5. repeat starting on 6 but exactly the same....or every once in while throw in some extra contras to distinguish 10 from 4. Also missing is a very basic Jaleo pattern that works in a lot of buleria contexts...that is: 12...&2...&4 5..repeat (6...&8...&10 11). I would say that is where your "al gope" might be deriving from. Lastly I find foot is important for feel, and for example, your antiguo pattern foot can also work (more effectively IMO), 12,2,4, etc. Ricardo
