Sir if i may ask, what's the reason to combine every variation? I find it in some degrees blurring each other, make the clapping sounds like ordinary 4/4 beats. Unlike before the combination, the actions are more firm
Yes of course. The reason to combine every variation is to create rhythm with a lot of energy, which is very tipical of Flamenco. It looks like 4/4 but really it is a 3/4 time. This is the mysterious of Flamenco music also. All the best!!
I wonder why the the 11th and 12th beats are counted as "one" and "two". I've heard other people count them as "11" and "12". I'm guessing that it's because the word "11" has two syllables where is all the others have just one each and that makes it more complicated rhythmically to say it that way? Technically calling a beat in a 12 beat pattern a different name than it's actual numerical location can be very confusing and probably arose from people with a more musicological or 'western' approach trying to learn a very traditional "never counted" approach, perhaps the musicologist said to the Flamenco musician, oh there are 12 beats, please count it for me, having never counted before and not understanding the western ways of counting it could quite easily be a misinterpretation where the 12th beat is counted as beat one although beat one is still on beat one a person unfamiliar with this Western system could simply think 12 is the important number because that's the one you have to count up to. So be careful.... cultural clashes like this are very common, I've been at this for many decades and people who like me have been dedicated to it are still learning new things about how to be more true to the traditions rather than distorting them through misinterpretations and miscommunications.

Hello Tique, the theory that circulates here in Spain as to why it is counted like this is that flamenco dance teachers probably started counting like this a long time ago (they did not know about musical notation) and everyone continued with this way because it seemed to them that worked.
Thank you!
Wonderful. Your love for the music shines through.
