Nahhh, I'm not wound up. Just giving you a hard time to draw out some clarity in definition. You need someone besides MikeO to mess with you.
Rhythm is holding the left arm and clubshaft at the same RPM throughout the stroke while the flail allows the overtaking of components at an even rate. Can we call this "constant hand speed"?
Why can't we just say "Tempo"?
Why did Homer use the term Rhythm instead of Tempo?
Tempo is the overall speed of a pattern.
Rhythm is group of timing intervals. The intervals may be even or uneven.
Tempo can consist of multiple rhythmic patterns.
What about Pace?
Pace is a measure of speed.
I'm not a musician, but I'm certain there are direct analogies for Pace, Rhythm and Tempo.
I knowed you was just fooling around . . . and me and Mikey REALLY DO HATE each other . . . ever since the time he was pullin' wings off of butterflies and then stickin' 'em in his nose.
I think Mr. K equated pace with hand speed . . . . could be wrong.
And as far as constant speed . . . it could be constant fast or constant slow right? And I think that one works better for big pulleys and one works better for small ones.
