Description

A Treadmill with a heel added at the end. Brush the right foot, then do a switching pullback off the left: spring off the left foot, spanking it back as it leaves the floor, and land on the ball of the right. Finish by dropping the right heel. Four sounds, with the weight ending on the right foot.

Practice Tips

  • Hold the heel back until its own count; if it drops straight after the landing, the last two sounds merge.
  • When repeating it, go straight from the heel into the next brush with no pause so the pattern keeps rolling.
