Blanco, I just came up with it when I was playing the other day. I do not necessarily intend to play a tumbao as shown, but rather use it as a rudiment to practice muscle memory in both hands. I split it in the middle because both hands are actually playing a standard one drum tumbao.. but only a half a measure at a time. It is a little out of the ordinary, but is pretty fun once you get going. Then after playing with that exercise for about 15-20 minutes, I did a right and left handed tumbao. I can tell a difference in both hands.
