Description

A right spank and stamp, then a left spank and dig, in a straight '&1&2' rhythm. The spanks fall on the '&'s and the stamp and dig land on the numbers, giving a steady, driving pulse.

Practice Tips

  • Keep the spanks light and close to the floor, and save the weight for the stamp.
  • Keep the dig under your body so you can repeat the step without drifting forward.
