Why count using ‘not-quite-double’? What's so special about it?
When you use two limbs to play an odd-number pattern, you should feel the 'lead-limb' switching back and forth between left and right.
11-BEAT PATTERN

Binary Code is the language that our brains use to communicate with our muscles. Thinking of rhythms in terms of on/off effectively translates music into the language ‘spoken’ by our bodies.
*
Against The Odds * = the pulse, the 'one' of the 11, the beginning of the subdivision, the switching of the lead, the whole ball of wax, the big bang of the universe .... do you get it? Do you feel it?
For instance, to play sevens you count:
one & two & three & four one & two & three & four one & two ....
The reason it works so well for executing odd rhythms quickly and accurately is that the right/left switching of the lead limb gives the human body the ‘on/off' effect of Binary Code. Binary Code (in principle, the same Binary Code used in computers) is the simplest form of language there is. Synapses (the brain’s equivalent of switches) are either active or inactive (on or off) ... . PERIOD
Any of the linearly divided portions of 11 (4+4+3=11, or 5+6=11, etc.) can be felt/counted/kept track of, under the ‘umbrella’ of ‘6 not-quite-doubled’.

provides you with your own ‘private tutor’, stepping through each odd number in turn. Use it at home, in the car, for pre-gig warm-up ... anywhere you can move your hands and/or feet !! Don’t be discouraged if you can’t make it all the way through at first ... it will come, with time and effort! Think of it as ‘Tae-Bo’ for drums.
