A roped tuned bata that is not fundamento is still aberikula, I really don't see any difference, my teacher in Havana has two sets of fundamentos hanging in the same room that we took our lessons in playing on wrench tuned sonocs, he never really made any big deal out of the sonocs not being bata. What he did talk about was playing fudamento as being a big difference from playing aberikula, whether rope tuned aberikula or wrench tuned. And yes, pulling the drums is a big part of the tradition, one of my first teachers, a guy named skip who plays with puntilla and el negro in miami, made us sit and watch as he and abraham pulled puntillas fundamento, just so we could see what it was like.
