What's a parallel rhythm?  That's a new term for me.

By the way, Ney Melo has a great way of teaching rhythm
that makes double-time, syncopation, and pauses completely
clear and fun for beginners.  The best method I have seen
so far.  Anyone who wants to know more about syncopation
may want to check his classes or workshops out.  Jaimes
Friedgen is my favorite for teaching how to use syncopation
in the dance.  Most people only use a fraction of the
possibilities.
