All async patterns with single passes (like these here) can be shifted by half a beat to get a half-sync pattern with one side throwing single passes (3p) and one side throwing double passes (4p).

Popcorn is a series of similar passing pattern that are called that way, because the objects "pop" up alternatingly on one passer then the other.

This happens either by a combination of triple-single selfs (lid off) or heff,heff (lid on). in any pattern either triple,single (5,3) or heff,heff (4,4) can be thrown. Throwing two heffs is probably easier for most people.

The patterns with heffs are closely related to the why not patterns. The occurance of two heffs in a row (88) allow substituting with triple-self,self (96).

Classic Popcorns

  • 6-count popcorn (double passes, half syncronous)
  • 5-count popcorn (async) 78686 7a666
  • 5-count popcorn (half-sync, double/single pass mix) A:3p,3,3,4,4; B:4,4,4p,3,3
  • 7-count popcorn (async) 7868686

Extended Popcorn Family

I am not too sure at the moment what should count as the "extended popcorn family". We will focus on the patterns asynchronous patterns with "44" for now and start by looking at the 5-count popcorn. It has the siteswap 78686.

We can now keep adding (or removing) "86" or "77" to the pattern and receive a number of patterns with similar properties.

  • Adding 86, we get the French/Popcorn 7-count
  • Adding two more passes (77), we get 7 club Vitoria 7778686
  • or we can mix up the sequence of Vitoria and get 7786786

All async patterns with single passes (like these here) can be shifted by half a beat to get a half-sync pattern with one side throwing single passes (3p) and one side throwing double passes (4p).
