Description

With the right foot, scuff, strike the inside edge of the toe tap, then the inside edge of the heel tap; finish with a left heel. The middle two sounds work like a clunk split into two separate hits.

Practice Tips

  • Learn the clunk first, then practice separating it into a toe-edge sound and a heel-edge sound.
  • The two inside-edge hits are easy to lose, so go slowly and aim to make them as clear as the scuff.
