Maybe it's cuz you play the drums ?!?! I heard you have to be able to make an imaginary square tracing the air with one hand and a circle with the other in order to be able to play the drums, but thats easy, you should play drums if you can do this.
Yes, b3cause in this case 6 is clockwise = counterclockwise. You're like drawing 6s counterclockwise to the clockwise of other people, clockwise being the popular style.
I did it, uhhh. After about 1 or 2 tries i actually got it down. Maybe it's just because i play the drums, and have to focus on seperate timing for my feet and hands anyways
